possible to always see aura's?

[wizzle3]

today for about 5 minutes only, i concentrated and saw my aura (not for the first time)

but this time i noticed that, hours later (right now)

i can see it form so much quickly, in a matter of seconds

is it possible to gain complete sight of an aura? or maybe just develope this "muscle memory" or whatever you might want to call it haha

i'm gonna try to see my aura everyday for a bit and see what happens..



(side note: on acid i saw everyones aura with less than a second of looking at them , so just tlaking to them i saw them

also i had this very "strange and, intense feeling" of being able to hear everyones thoughts! i wonder what that could of been i thought.. then a year later well, yea i kind of put that puzzle together.)

[moth]

I used to be able to see auras quite easily and whenever I wanted. I dont know how it came about but they got clearer and easier to see the more I looked. I stopped looking though, but I can still see them after a bit if I try. I think it would be possible to see them always..but I dont know.

[daem0n]

i always see etheric and lifeforce, auras and other stuff are possible when you tune in astral a lot, the same with higher bodies

[wizzle3]

is there a website that explains what each colour could generally meen?

a trustworthy website that would know? i'm sure theres a bunch of bull**** out there

[Silver Incubus]

Well i would say to just take the colors as your guts dircrect you, because that is what the colors mean to those people, because that is how they see them. For example, If you think that anger is purple, you would see someones anger in their aura as purple becuase that is how your mind will relate it to you.

Either I have a degenerate eye disease that is making my eye sight tinkle poor, and there is difficulty in seperating objects or i have good auric sight,

Beacause on a permant basis i see a white transparant egg around people which looks like prana, and beyond i see a blue/purple sometimes yellow backround beyond that, Which is very strong against white backrounds and sometimes is green dependent on the backqround...It could be afterimage due to my poor sight, or it is a skill/gift in detailed auric sight...

And oh yeah, I permantly see the sparklies and things and waves and flying things in the air which again could be one thing or anonther...

(rambling....)

[Existential Essence]

PS I always hear the static radio like noise in my ears like white noise which develops in voices and conversation as im droppin off to sleep...


Ive read it could be the sound of my central nervous systems, blood flow etc...

OR again on the other hand it could be the sound of creation and the astral...

[Wizard of Light]

Hi Wizzle3,

Websites I am unsure about, but I can highly recommend a book on auras:  "Auras and how to read them" by Sarah Bartlett.  Excellent book.  Has all the colour explanations you will need.

Ever tried "drifting"? Try letting yourself flow into the world you see so well, allowing nothing physical to hamper you, dismissing your corporeal form as a weighted steel ball around your ankle. Do this while conscious, as while unconscious it will have little difference between that and leaving your body, as you will see and experience similar things. The major diff with drifting is that you can physically affect the astral world, and see what it is you're doing to both Spirit reality AND Physical reality at the same time. It's really neat. I used to do it as a child, often as a teen, but have since never done it due to other things occupying me. Be aware of how far out of your body you drift, because if you spread yourself too thin, your body won't receive the signals from your mind essence to move and simply go into a trancelike state suddenly, very similar to someone passing out. This could cause bodily damage. This is why I tell you to be aware of your location and how far you allow your aural essence to drift. You can see every spirit entity, everyone's aura and energy field(transparently), and their core orientation(this is always black or white, no other colors get in there, ever.). It's very interesting, but I recommend for those faint of heart or loose of faith('trust in the unseen' - best definition I have available) not to try it.
ReiKi dude, I want to know something. Why do entities swirl with their polarized color field, such as white for an "angel" and black for a "demon"? Why would the field not be constant, contained with set and definite boundary, like our skin? Also, I've never done ReiKi, please add any basic info required to understand your answers.

I wanted to make a comment on the degenerating eyesight.  About a year ago my eyesight started getting a little worse every few months.  I noticed mainly when I was reading a book or a newspaper I had to squint  a lot so I could read.  But if continued to read without squinting, letting my eyes relax, I would start to project (OBE) and could see energy waves too.  I would notice a white outline about 1" off the skin around people.  I never advanced myself to the point of actually seeing auras, but I could see energy waves.  Long story short, I wear glasses now and I don't see these things anymore. If I try it actually takes me longer and I have to concentrate harder now too if I want to see the energy waves and the white wisps around people. I think there is a key here that we must be missing.

[James S]

That's interesting benrachor, I've noticed much the same thing myself.

My eyesight's not bad, but I do need assistance for distance vision. My clairvoyance has developed a fair bit in recent times, and my "spirit vision" is getting quite strong (seeing spirits moreso than auras). I've noticed though, that when my vision is made clearer and sharper with glasses, I too have to concentrate more to see what's around me.

I'm aware that when I see spirits it is not so much optical signals being fed in from my eyes as it is the energies being interpreted directly by my brain, but when my glasses are off and my eyes are relaxed, I "see" the energies much more easily.

Well there you go! And I thought it was just me.

Blessings,
James.

i think this is caused by switching from third eye/other  perception back to physical eyes

[Ryuji]

i sometimes see white stuff around objects or infront of them - could be their energy something that im picking up ?

I think you're right!

I realised something when I was thinking about it this morning - it's just a matter of conditioning.
Spirit sight IS third eye, not the physical eyes. I believe I've caught by a bit of mental conditioning: no glasses = good spirit vision, glasses = bad spirit vision. This has simply come about because I never typically wear my glasses when I'm meditating or working with spirits. I just need to "re-program" my thinking so that it doesn't make any difference.


James.

[benrachor]

James, you said that you never wear glasses when you meditate. Do you meditate with yours eyes open or closed?

The only reason I say this is because I know most people meditate sitting down with their eyes closed in a quiet room. I'm just using this as a generic description of meditation. In my meditation sessions I usually stand in the middle of the room and I have small tv stand/alter that I place a candle on and I stare into the flame. I have trained my self to meditate with eyes open.  Even when I project astral and travel I use the aforesaid procedure. To go even farther I take a small radio and turn up the volume all the way. I've trained myself to block out my surroundings when I meditate or travel. I don't even notice the radio or anything else in the room for that matter.

Another method I do is I stare at myself in a mirror until it goes black. Once black I know I'm projected, but for me this method demands a little  more concentration.

Maybe I'm more advanced than most, or maybe I've found what works for me.

Only in the most demanding situations of concentration do I sit and close my eyes.

Hi Benranchor,

Finding what works best for you I believe is the most important thing with meditation.

I have a few ways to meditate, depending on the circumstances.
Sitting in a quiet room with eyes closed for an extended period is how I will meditate if I wish to go into a vision (aka phasing). I often do little 5 minute mini-meditations at work, which can be eyes closed or open. Recently I've become more proficient at meditating while walking, prefably in a park or forest. This I do, for obvious reasons , with my eyes open.

I realised something more from this morning's meditation while walking. I was wearing glasses, and I was seeing the spirit I was speaking with, though still not as clearly as I would sitting in a softly lit room.
I guess it does come down to conditioning and practice.


Blessings,
James.

[daem0n]

and what meditation would be, exactly ?

[James S]

Sorry Daem0n,

I don't understand what your asking here. Could you rephrase it please ?

Thanks,
James.

[daem0n]

recently i was struck with how many different things we put into term meditation:
introspection
concentration
void
direct knowledge aka intuition
relaxation (flow)
trance - switching to alpha state
energy/reality work
etc

confusion

so, the question would be, what you "meditate" for ? (generally)
edit: now it struck me that confusion is also a form of meditation, lol

[James S]

LOL!!
Yes it is!

Thanks, I get where you're coming from now.
For me, meditation started out as a means to regain control of my thoughts & emotions, and indeed my life, after suffering fairly severe depression.

After that it became a tool for energy work, then for psychic development. At present, depending on the situation, I'll do different meditations for relaxation, for energy raising & psychic development (which usually include visions or phasing as people like to call it), or for raising intuition & mental clarity so I can contact spirits.

I definitely spend time in confusion meditations too.

[daem0n]

i mainly do introspection coupled with direct knowledge + energy work, saves time for confusion, lol

what amazes me is that people don't remove their conditioning but condition it not to trouble their conditioning, instead of becoming/permanently phasing/ higher awareness aka enlightment (this word is used much to often too   )
it's easy, once you start

i think that blocking thoughts just postpones problems, we have perfect system for early detection and we numb it  , instead of adressing them directly , i mean, we put ourselves in that position in the first place

thx James

Hi, do u have any free online recommendations for how to do "drifting'? or any free E-books? (with advice on the benefits and the dangers of "drifting"?) Any reliable/trustworthy links to recommend? Sounds interesting. Thanks

Hi James, mind if I ask (sorry if my question sounds newbie, u guys r far more advanced in the path than I am): u mean u can communicate verbally with the spirit and see it in an ordinary state of waking consciousness?

[James S]

Hi DarkMind,

Please don't apologise for "newbie" questions. We're all newbies to something.

Yes, I'm a medium. I see, hear & speak to spirits in a waking state.
They come through to me in varying degrees, depending on the level of energy the spirit has. Most commonly, its by way of "inner" sight & hearing - I see and hear them in my mind. Sometimes a spirit's energy will be strong enough that I can physically see and hear them.

Consider that its all energy signals that our brains are able to pick up on. The signals mostly enter our brains directly, that's why it feels like its coming from within our mind, or it seems like our imagination. When we become more attuned to these signals, or if they are particularly strong, they start to become exactly like the signals our brains get from our eyes and ears, so our brains interpreting the spirits as being something we are physically seeing or hearing.

It's much harder for us to do this in a waking state because our minds are usually cluttered with everyday thoughts. That's why it is easier for a spirit to visit us in our dreams - we're far more receptive then.

Blessings,
James.

Hi, thanks for enlightening me.....your post is most informative......

I was wondering........I have read (and also heard from hearsay) that the ability to see spirits depends on whether one's 3rd eye is opened or not. In your opinion, is it true that the 3rd eye needs to be opened for spirits to be seen? (I suspect that sometimes some powerful spirits can make their presence felt and seen to certain people (who haven't the slightest inclination nor abilities in paranormal stuff) if these spirits want to)

What about devas or angels (celestial beings)? Will opening the 3rd eye enable one to see these beings of Light? Or one will only be able to see the lower-plane entities?

At some point in my path, I may wish to open my 3rd Eye too (actually, in my terminology, I call it the "Divine Eye"), but I do not wish to be able to see lower-plane entities only. Actually, I would prefer to see the high-plane entities such as devas (celestial beings).
