Does the color and size of your aura mean anything?

[Summerlander]

Hahaha thats great xP Have fun drinking!

[Summerlander]

I'm sober now! 

If you are gonna check a person's aura, get them to sit against a white background.  If you want to check your own, use a mirror and check your reflection against a white background.

Focus on the middle of the forehead  (the Brow Chakra) for 1 minute, and then, start using your peripheral vision to observe the aura as the central vision somewhat maintains focus on the forehead.  Find that balance between both visions so that you can brighten up the colours of the aura.  The longer the dual focus, the brighter it becomes.

You will see something interesting, no doubt.  The question I pose to you is...do you think the auras you are seeing are a product of diminished visual acuity caused by a self-induced and partial scotoma, OR, a spiritual halo which evidently indicates the existence of a subtle body?

I do think you can see something like that, but I do not think it is the aura. I believe what most people refer to as an aura is actually just an afterimage. A real aura is not seen with physical eyes.

Hold on a minute...a real aura?  So you believe that they exist?  What makes an aura more real in a state of consciousness other than wakefulness?  I too suspect that the phenomenon is brought about by an impairment of visual acuity.  But I would certainly not hold the experience of auras in the phase state as proof of their reality.

My probation officer can see all that stuff. She told me not to do any more work on my brow chakra. She also said my aura's wide open and thats why I'm picking up other peoples emotions and stuff. The most I had told her of my metaphysical activities was that I meditate. Turns out she's been clairvoyant since she was a girl.

I can tell when she's doing it cause she gets this funny look like when someones trying to look at you out the corner of their eye without you noticing.

I've had limited success at seeing my hand's aura. I see an inch or two of a strange kind of pale cyan-like colour.

The question I pose to you is...do you think the auras you are seeing are a product of diminished visual acuity caused by a self-induced and partial scotoma, OR, a spiritual halo which evidently indicates the existence of a subtle body?

I reckon what I'm seeing is with my eyes and probably a sort of energy field.

Yes, if they really exist, I believe it's something that's seen clairvoyantly. And by clairvoyance, I do not mean the phase state. Clairvoyance is a physical waking state where awareness is stretched to perceive non-physical simultaneously. Physical eyes/awareness do the focusing and targeting, non-physical awareness perceives the energy behind the physical at the same time. Can I prove this? No.

I have never seen an aura, however I've numerous clairvoyant type experiences that lead me to believe it may be possible. It's really just seeing the astral counterpart of the physical.

I like Tom's (Campbell) suggestion that it's all just data... and you can query the 'database' for whatever data you want and have it shown to you (interpreted by you) in whatever way you want... one of those ways is a "glowy effect" around people/things.

I see them mostly when I'm kneeling at the beginning of my Aikido class focusing ahead.  In my experience, Tom is also correct in that if you want to see them, you simply need to place the Intent to do so.

The closest I have been to seeing "auras" was when I was practicing intense third eye chakra meditations, It was almost as if I was tensing part of my brain that caused my whole body to "tense up". After doing this for about 20 minutes I could see a green glow around everything. I dont know if I was seeing the of everything, or if I just cut blood circulation to my brain and causing a distortion in my vision

Use my method and you'll be able to see them.  They are nothing like the "astral counterpart of the physical".  The perceived body in the phase feels more like the physical body than anything mystical.  The phenomenon you will see in the waking state is colourful and has no substance.  Do you know how else I've seen auras?  Tripping on psilocybin!  There is nothing paranormal at work when it comes to auras and there is no evidence that you are seeing something non-physical with the physical eyes.  I don't even think there is an "astral counterpart" to the physical body for starters.

[Xanth]

Generally, and what I find with myself (so really it only truly applies to me LoL) is that when you're seeing an aura... if you close your eyes, you shouldn't still see them.

Yeah, that's what I was saying: that's not an aura. Your method is just a trick of the eyes. I stated before that you DO NOT see them with your physical eyes. However, I also believe in etheric and astral bodies. I know many do not think they exist.

No, you should still be able to if you're seeing the real-deal. I would estimate that 95% of the time people talk about auras, it's just a trick of the eyes or afterimage or tripping on mushrooms. Google auras and it's really hard to find websites that know what they are talking about.

I rarely even bring up clairvoyance here because it never seems like anyone understands what I'm talking about. It's not in your "minds eye", it's as real (or more real) than seeing with your physical eyes, and you remain physically aware. When an aura is seen with eyes open, your seeing into 2 areas of consciousness simultaneously. It's different than what we tend to talk about here, 1) because it's very difficult, 2) it's not AP.

A good clairvoyant can be doing something in the physical, and also shift a part of their awareness into the non-physical and be fully aware of both. I remember Frank stating towards the end that this was his goal and thought it would take him several more years to get good at it.

[Summerlander]

Well, that clears things up then.  I can see this thread getting richer and richer.  

Btw, is remote viewing a little like clairvoyance but only more focused in physical realm consciousness? Just curious as to what people think...

Just relaying how *I* see them. 

As with everything else, I also believe it's completely unique to the consciousness experiencing it.

You can remote view any reality, it doesn't just have to be the physical.  It's just easier to "prove" physical world locations to yourself.
This is the entire basis around Moens "imagination projection" technique.  But instead of actually "seeing" the remotely viewed location, he perceives it.
