Auras?

[HiRes]

Does the color and size of your aura mean anything?

[Summerlander]

you can see auras...I have a method...I'm drunk at the moment but...I can teach you to see them in less than a minute...I swear...just let me get sober,,, maybe by tomorrow...

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.

[Summerlander]

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.

[HiRes]

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.

I would guess that remote viewing could come from genuine clairvoyance, but not necessarily. Most that do it are not clairvoyant and I would guess that the visions they get are more dream-like, minds eye stuff... which probably would correlate with the varied results. There are too many variables. (I speculate).

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

I agree with that too... I would think it's possible for 2 people to view the same "aura" in a different manner, but glean the same results/interpretation (again, speculation). Because it's not just "seeing", "feeling" is just as important. Really, the steps in attaining clairvoyance consists of developing/expanding Thinking, Feeling, and Willing as far as you can stretch them.

Hi.  I just logged on and saw the question about remote viewing and auras.  I personally see remote viewing and seeing of auras as sometime close.  Well, I think many things are closer than we may appreciate.  For me, I performed some remote viewing experiments wth a university, and over the course of the tests, i kind of came to figure out how it was done and had some very successful results. Then, my view of the world shifted, and I unexpectedly started to see auras, to have all my so called chakras active, to feel so called energy, etc.  It was all rather funny/strange to me since i never read anything about remote viewing, auras, etc.  I am more of a skeptic and science focused person ... and, not really a mystical type.  But, here i am now. To me, there are probably simple explanations.  I think its all kind of both scientific and mystical ... Anyway, seeing auras, for me, is a bit on and off ... e.g., it depends on my state of mind, how good i feel, etc.  Although folks say it is seen so called clairvoyantly, for me, it feels much like i physically see it, as it overlays the normal view of sight.  Also, when the eyes are closed, you still see, but just black.  So, the aura would be harder to see in that context even if it is not with "normal" sight.  Anyway, for folks that want to grow and see auras, etc., i think some of the keys are to: a) be healthy (e.g., exercise and diet)(though not critical, i think it helps a lot), b) start to understand appreciate what folks talk of as, e.g.,the higher self (e.g., realizing that there is a much deeper part that is always there and helping you ... e.g., providing images for remote viewing, etc.), and c) try to tone down the ego (e.g., not to feel overly bad or good about oneself, etc.), and d) have faith in life and the world (well, not blind faith, as that would probably involve ignoring one's own judgment which would sort of be to not have faith in onesself).  Last, I think seeing auras might relate in some ways to kind of connecting with so called energy of other people.  I think it is similar to remote viewing perhaps.  FOr me, sometimes remote viewing looks kind of like an aura looks to me (i.e., kind of like pixelated light).  Anyway, just some thoughts for you....

[NoY]

you see auras with your peripheral vision so how could you do it with your eyes closed?


:NoY:

[HiRes]

Haha this topic, has gotten off topic too a point ;p as I was asking a question about how to see them.
I just find it funny how I started a small uproar with such a simple question xD
Anyways?
Can anyone explain the green aura I see around everything when I do intense 3rd eye chakra meditations?

[Summerlander]

:NoY:

You do it with your eyes open.  If you close your eyes then you are likely to see an after-image.

[HiRes]

anyways.. may I ask, why it is important to re post something you have posted already?
It seems a lot of people have different views on what an Aura is.. BUT I would assume that it is like Astral Projection, it is experienced differently, in a similar way, to each person.  So I don't think there is any reason in arguing about what you think an Aura is, as each and every person is different, there for has a different experience with it.

[blidge]

Hi all, just a quickie. I will try the looking in the mirror with a white background behind me and try to see my aura, but on this i can actually feel auras or energy fields. I like doing this mostly with plants where it feels like the a posing side of a magnet propelling each other away, pretty prickly with a cactus plant!!   

[Aleixsa]

LOL! I can only see auras if I'm watching anime..

Summerlander's method does work and it gets easier to switch your eyes the more you practice. If ever you get the chance to see a working spiritual medium, look at them with these "adjusted eyes". You should see that their aura is larger than normal and more "milky", often with wisps or tendrils running outwards. I tend to find it most noticeable around their shoulders and upper back.

If you struggle with the mirror method and find that people get weirded out when you half gaze at them, try practicing with a dog. Dogs never seem to mind the attention. I've yet to meet anyone who failed to discern auras with a couple of minutes of trying.

I've recently been watching more of TC's presentations and am fascinated with his suggestions of accessing the database at each moment of awareness. I'm a games programmer and I remember a long time ago trying to think of the world in these terms and wondering where the "rendering engine" would be situated. Is our consciousness doing the rendering or is there a processor between us and the data which then presents us with our view of the world? Furthermore, each and every energy in the database is changing according to some set of functions. The vastness of the required updates is a joy to consider.

Try standing behind a friend and moving your hands slowly around their head area and shoulders, obviously without touching. Most people can feel the aura of the person in front of them and, most of the time, the person seated can "feel" the hands of the other person as a sensation of static around the head. If the one seated is tired, depressed or distressed, the aura can often be shrunken and close to the body. This can make it harder to sense.

A small experiment you can do, once you can feel the other's aura is to have them think bright happy thoughts and see what it does to the aura. Once you can feel the bounds of their happy aura, ask them to consider something sad and see what it does to their aura.
