Training to See Auras - Part I
This
article takes a fresh look at auras - what they are, where they come from,
and shows how anyone can learn to see them. Seeing auras is not as hard as
you may think - if you go about it the right way. This is an easy step by
step guide to doing just that. It starts right at the beginning, with the
easiest to see of all auras - the aura of colour - and working up, in easy
stages, to the more illusive and difficult human aura.
An aura is the most visible part of the subtle energy processes going on
within all physical objects. All matter has an aura of some kind - even a
humble rock - but it is pretty dull when compared with the complex
interplay of rainbow colours that make up a living human aura. Auras
emanate from all physical objects, life forces and colours, as well as
from many other energy sources.
The first step in this tutorial makes use of a little known fact - that
colours have auras.
Every colour has it's own unique aura. This is of a completely different
colour from the original. Auras, given off by bright, primary colours, are
much denser and far easier to see than any other type of aura. Using the
auras of colours, as a training aid, has most people seeing an aura the
very first time they try.
I have been able to see auras for many years. I was not born with this
ability, but taught myself - the hard way. It took me several years before
I could see enough of an aura to make it a worthwhile practice! I know the
problems inherent in developing auric sight, and this new training method
is designed to help overcome them.
Auric sight - as with all
forms of clairvoyant sight - depends upon the eyes and the normal optical
sight process to work. Physical and non-physical sight are very closely
related. They are both forms of perception that allow our brains to
perceive energy, of one type or another, as a sight picture.
Here is why:
A. Normal sight:
Eyes receive light - light being a type of energy. Eyes focus light energy
onto light sensitive nerve tissue at the back of the eye, connected to the
optic nerve. Basically, this light sensitive tissue changes focussed light
energy into a stream of complex electrical signals. These signals
arepassed, via the optic nerve, to the sight centre of the brain. The
brain then interprets these signals into a rich visual picture - what we
call normal sight.
B. Auric sight:
The brow centre receives a more subtle type of energy than light. This
type of energy can only be received by the brow centre (often called the
third eye or brow chakra) when it is active and tuned in to receive that
type of energy. The brow centre is situated directly between the eyes and
is intimately connected with normal optical sight.
Energy received by the brow centre is passed along to the sight centre of
the brain - the same as with normal sight. The brain interprets anything
it receives in it's sight centre as a visual picture. It interprets auric
energy as a sight picture - as coloured bands of light surrounding the
subject.
* The eyes are the organs for normal optical sight (a physical organ).
* The brow centre is the organ for non-physical sight (a non-physical
organ).
Both these organs, above, are situated in the same general area, i.e., the
brow centre is situated in the brow, directly between the eyes. The common
location and similar function of both organs (sight) suggests there is a
close relationship
between them, i.e., the eyes, the brow centre and the sight centre of the
brain are linked. My research confirms this: that all forms of
non-physical sight are closely linked with the process of normal optical
sight.
Although there is a relationship between optical sight and the brow centre
- an aura is definitely _not_ any type of light. Some people believe auras
are still light, but light at a much higher frequency than normal light -
that is only visible to a clairvoyant. If this were true, though, it would
be possible to detect and measure this light with the sophisticated
electronic instruments available today. There are scientific instruments,
electronic cameras etc, that can be tuned to detect _any_ part of the
light spectrum - no matter how refined. For example: infra red, ultra
violet, x rays, gamma rays, etc, all these can be detected - but auras
cannot. Therefore, it is logical to suppose that auras are _not_composed
of any type of light.
But there are aura
cameras - you might say - that can take pictures of the human aura? You
might even have a picture of your own aura, taken at a psychic fair. How
can this be?
An aura camera does NOT take an actual picture of an aura. It cannot
actually see an aura. It merely creates the illusion of an aura on film.
How an aura camera works:
A. Sensors are placed on the skin - or fitted into a chair so they contact
the subject's skin. These sensors measure the electrical resistance in the
skin (galvanic skin response). Electrical resistance in the skin varies,
according to salt and moisture level. These levels are affected by many
things: diet, fluids, health, temperature, sweating, emotion, mood,
activity, etc.
B. These readings are fed directly into a small electronic processor,
attached to the camera (usually a small black box) and interpreted by it.
This processor then generates a pattern of electrical signals, from these
readings, according to how it is programmed.
C. This pattern of signals is then fed into a specially modified camera.
Inside the camera, an optical colouring device creates a variable pattern
of coloured lights, and beams this directly onto the film, as the picture
is taken. This gives the illusion of a colourful aura surrounding the
subject - according to the pattern generated by the initial readings.
Because of the way these cameras are set up, you will rarely get two
pictures exactly the same. This is because of the large number of coloured
patterns possible, that can be generated by slightly different sensor
readings . It would be rare to get two identical sets of sensor readings
from one person and, therefore, have two identical aura photographs taken
in the same day.
An aura photograph is the camera designer's idea of what your aura
_should_ look like - according to their research. This research is based
upon linking clairvoyant observations with the galvanic skin response on
test subjects. The designers have attempted to give a specific colour
value to different patterns of galvanic skin responses.
An aura photograph, therefore, is an electronically created illusion - not
an actual photograph of an aura.
My theory is: that light is necessary for the brow centre to tune into and focus on auric energy. An aura being a visual representation of this energy, created by the sight centre of the brain. This appears to be the only logical explanation for auric sight.
5. The Complexity Of Normal Vision:
The process of auric
sight may sound very complicated, but is really _very_ simple, when you
compare it with the process of normal, optical sight - that simple, visual
thing we all take for granted. Look around the room you are in now, look
out of a window - what do you see? Think about all the millions of objects
and colours and tones you are seeing - all at once - in incredible three
dimensional detail. Think about how, no matter how fast you turn around,
your brain keeps up with the fantastically complex image you are seeing.
Your eyes pass on an _incredible_ amount of information to your brain -
but your brain interprets it all instantly. Normal optical sight is an
incredibly complex and powerful ability. Compare this, with the few
colours and swirls of light you see in a human aura - no matter how
beautiful and complex it might seem - it is still a very simple picture.
There is really no comparison between these two abilities - normal optical
sight is vastly more complex, and requires much more of the brain's power,
than auric sight does.
To recap the above: Auric sight is linked to and depends upon normal
optical sight, in order to function. What you see, when you see an aura,
is your brain's interpretation of reflected energy, emanating from your
subject. Your eyes are used to tune and focus your brow centre into this
energy. An electrical representation of this energy is passed to your
brain's sight centre, where it is interpreted as a sight picture by your
brain. In the case of an aura, your brain shows you coloured bands of
light surrounding your subject.
Light is necessary in
order to see the main aura of anything. Living auras react in the presence
of light - expanding and brightening. This reaction is most noticeable
when a living aura is exposed to sunlight. You could say that auras are
photo-sensitive.
I have made extensive observations of this light reaction. I have observed
the auras of people inside a house, then immediately taking them outside,
into the sunlight. The living auras of people expand in sunlight, and are
much brighter. They fairly sparkle with life in strong, direct sunlight. I
have seen auras expand to several times their normal size in sunlight.
Another interesting observation, that adds weight to this argument, that
auras are not light - but that light is necessary, in order for auric
sight to work: the main aura cannot be seen in complete darkness. If auras
were indeed light, why is it necessary for there to be light, in order to
see them? This shows that light and normal optical sight are an important
part of auric sight.
Note: In total darkness, it is possible to see some slight activity around
the energy body, close to the skin. This is almost invisible, but looks
like tiny, very faint strands and sparks of bluish light. This is very
faint and most noticeable around your own fingertips, when they are
brought together in front of you.
It is also possible to see small but intense points of light, coming from
fully active primary energy centres (chakras). These must be _extremely_
active for this to be seen, and you must also be very focussed on your
subject. This takes a lot of skill to do, and the subject must be very
developed - energy wise - in order for this to be observed. This is far
easier to see if there is a little available light, even if you can only
make out vague shadows - it gives you something to focus upon.
To observe any part of the energy body, in darkness, memory based
visualisation is used to focus the brow centre into a subject. You have to
know exactly where the subject is (in total darkness) and be able to
accurately gauge their distance, shape and position, and see them clearly
in your mind's eye.
I think, for the above, that both astral sight and clairvoyance play a
part, for those that can see energy activity in total darkness. This
appears to be the only logical explanation for this phenomena.
Note: Light is _not_ necessary for clairvoyant or astral sight to work,
but the eyes and their normal focussing ability are still used, but with
memory based focussing and visualisation, instead of normal light based
focussing. You can see with astral and clairvoyant sight, just as well in
total darkness, as you can in full light.
The same basic technique, used to see the aura of colour, is used to see all other types of aura, including the human aura. This same technique is also a part of full clairvoyance. This is why looking at the auras of colours is such good training for seeing the human aura. The aura of colour is far denser and easier to see than the human aura. This allows the auric viewing technique to be learned much easier and faster, than does practising on the more difficult human aura.
