yes... there are different layers of aura... the one you're seeing is the easiest to see. Keep practicing and focus on your 3rd eye while doing it.
-deleted-
well... you're on the right path getting your eyes unfocused... but try seeing from your 3rd eye... imagine you're seeing from your 3rd eye located around in between your eyebrows... try getting your chakra stronger there also... read NEW.
Yes I think this is the first layer of the aura that you are seeing also. Well done for getting that far!
Your technique sounds right to me. What kind of lighting are you using? I find that a dimmer type of lighting is particularly good for seeing auras. I also find that it is easier to see the aura around the head and shoulders.
Good luck, keep trying!! :D

Hi, I'm going to have to be brief in describing this:
- I was wondering if something is wrong with my eyesight or is it really auras I am seeing or just a common after-image and nothing really special about it and therefore no need to be getting excited about
- I seem to see a blue tinge (just a thin blue outline) around my hands and forearms at times. In different lighting conditions and background, it appears as a yellow glow (extending a tiny distance from the skin).
- I don't need to concentrate very hard to see it. Nor do I need to unfocus my eyes
- I think I only recently noticed this phenomena. I did try the unfocusing eyes technique before (maybe about 1-2 weeks ago), but I am not too sure if I succeeded in seeing auras then. What I saw then was a bluish-green glow around my legs and hands, but this could just be an afterimage effect, and I had to concentrate really hard and also use peripheral visison.
- Currently what I am now seeing doesn't require me to concentrate very hard and neither do I need to use peripheral vision.
Am I really seeing auras? Or am I deluding myself? Is something wrong with my eyesight? Do I have some eye disease (hopefully not)?
Any comments (positive or negative) will be appreciated. Thanks :)
Darkmind,
An interesting point is the colors you see: blue and yellow. When looking at my hand against a dark background I see a rich violet/purple and against a light background I see a blue about the shade of this form's background -- light turquoise.
I don't know if this is actually an aura or if it might just be a reflection of our energy.

Actually, I think auras are in a way a reflection of our energy.
I do hope that some of those further along the path of seeing auras can help us out here in clarifying our doubts :)

Hey, I tried looking at it against a light and dark background also. For me, there is a yellowish glow against a light background. Against a dark background, it is a blue tinge.
I just looked at mine and saw a light bluish tint as well. I see a light, hazy whitish one on people's heads on the train if I can stare at them long enough with getting caught. I make sure they're asleep or can't see me looking.
-deleted-
I have had little success with viewing the aura but seem to have seen some sort of glow or transculent type of light around people's heads when seen against a white backround which could be an optical illusion.
But I do sense a sort of heat around them like an invisible flame at times.
Anyway since I can feel the aura I've always preferred this as compared to seeing it but it wouldn't object to seeing it.
I've just started experimenting with auric sight and have seen glass like outlines around people and lights and small black shadows in my peripheral vision. :shock: Does anyone know if this is normal.
Iello everyone!
I just found this site today and am so thrilled!! Okay...my question is...how do I unfocus my eyes?
Thanks so much!
Karen
wow, you people are incredible here bcause you can see auras.
the blue and yellow tinges arent auras.... i see those naturally too, especially with glasses. I confused this with auric vision myself. First you should see a milky white layer around the skin and then as you stimulate the third eye the aura will begin to grow around the white layer. In my experience, people's heads are almost always yellow because of the intellect and their bodies will be a different color.
I held a white piece of paper behind my hand and looked at it. After a few seconds I saw a thin light blue line going around my hand approximately 1mm thick. One question I have though... how can I be sure this is my aura and not just an after image?
Hey guys, If you really want to learn to see the aura fairly quick try gazing/trataka. Any good crystal that has been cleaned and just meditate on the crystal it works very well for opening up the doors to aura vision. Hmmm i have a good link too letme look around.
Ahh yes here it is. This helped me very much with seeing auras. I actually have to not see them at this point but ive worked at it a loooong time. have fun good luck and just follow the instructions. This and the gazing will make it happen. http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm

Acctually I am very happy now that you wrote this stuff, because you describe the stuff that I see (well atleast parts of it :) ) and I also thought my eyesight had a problem or so since I don't need to focus hard or use peropheral vision.... that 3mm layer of white/blue light is just there (and the color also changes for me with different lighting... ex. if its almost dark the color looks transparent blackish).
Since your a second person who can see this we either have a very rare eye desease or we see the first layer of the aura... I hope for the later :D
Strang thing is the object does not have to be alive to have this glow.... thats acctually the biggest doubt I have about all of this.
Other thing I notice is when I look at the sky during day time and use peripheral vision and unfocus my eyes I see lots of spots of light flying around....
The last thing is that somehow I can keep my eyes open in this peripheral unfocused position for a very long time if I choose to...... it seems like I never have to close my eyes again.
Anyways once again I am glad that you wrote this :-D
Its not unnatural at all. Depending on your age the periphial (ya ya spelling) vision helps because the first areas of your eyes to go is the front surface. So when you use the side you pick up more. The first layer you see (and yes the color depends on back ground and health/energy of the person) is indeed the auras easiest part to see. The best way to see an aura is to NOT try if you no what i mean.
It seems like everyone who said they could see auras or their own aura saw a blue or blue/green color. I see the same color in my aura. Are all auras the same color, is a certain level of aura this color, does this color mean something?
while i was watching tv the other day i saw a golden yellow blob kinda creep around my head..it kinda was in the view of my left eye.. it was there for a while..
I got an eBook on auras for anyone interested, get it while you can!!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EZX4BSGY (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EZX4BSGY)
Also I think that the better you get at seeing auras the better you start to see the different colours. The colours vary because of mood, thoughts, feelings etc...
I've also realised that it is my aura I was seeing, after images tend to linger where as what I was seeing didn't stay in my vision for very long and also it followed my hand.. so yeh I can see auras :-D hehe that feels good to say!!!

Not to burst your bubble, but it's Robert Bruce...you can just go to his website - it's the exact same info.... http://www.astraldynamics.com/tutorials/?BoardID=9 there's no need to worry about downloading it.....
haha i feel well daft now, oh well . I just got it of soulseek I didn't know it was on his site.
I've just got a book by him off amazon called psychic self defense so that should be a good read. :-P
Here is a good link. I like the entire site but this area is just practice and eye exercises. Try the circles they helped me out alot when i first started with auras.
http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm
You ever read those magic eye book things? Thats a similar deal, you cross the images and a 3d image comes out of it.
I still have trouble making that cross with each 1/4 of equal intensity, I can maintain a steady cross though, but the colours keep switching.
Oops sorry just realized i put the link in twice...ohh well its good and did a good job for me.
Just as our aura is the colored expression of our soul you could try some personality/spiritual test simply to know what colors are more prominent in yourself. Don't take it too seriously and have fun doing them at www.tickle.com
Also, you can practice NEW to improve your energy currents. Added to it you can practice pranayama combined with NEW. For example: the third eye is responsible for making you see auras. Once you've activated it, nourish it with the energy of the air (as you breathe in imagine a current of white energy entering your body and going in a current from your nose to your third eye).
The combination of breath and tactile imagination will improve your chances to "clean your spectacles" ;-)
Haha... I got bored in french today and in the classroom the lesson was taking place it had a soft beige liht background. I realised I could see the teacher's aura around her head, it was like a soft glow that followed her around. It seemed as if it was a bit slow though.. Don't know if anyone else has noticed this?
When she moved it seemed like the aura was about 1/2 a second behind but caught up. I'm 100% positive it wasn't an after image. Also it moved without me having to move my eyes, it wasn't as if it followed my eyes. And as soon as I closed my eyes it was gone.
Pretty sure it was an aura that I saw.
The movement was a tracer. It is left behind for short(sometimes long ) amounts of time. This is one way ghost hunters operate by seeing this trail left behind. The aura will be easiest to see around the head when you new to it. So more than likely you saw exactly what you thought. Dont doubt yourself friend it only leads to aggravation. If anything know thats what you saw.
hmm skeaping about tracers, there is also something else an aura does. It creates an afterimage like lights do when you look at them for a long time.
Put your arm infront of a white wall. Now unfocus until you can clearly see a white/blue glow around your arm. Hold this for a minute or so, then move your arm swiftly away without moving your eyes at all or focusing. You will see a white/blue aftershadow of your arm where it used to be. Close your eyes and it will be even more intense.
I can see the shape of the aura, it's always the same softly illuminated white glow around the head.
How do I see the colours?? e.g how red means egoic thoughts (I think)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Lucid, I would suggest meditating on the third eye chakra. Or just keep trying to 'read' people as you are doing now. Perhaps like a muscle it will grow. These are just some suggestions. I've been able to see auras since I can remember (among other not so great abilities), it's just been a natural occurence.
P.S. Another way might be to find an energetic person to focus on. I find they give off more of an aura than others. I wish you the best on your quest! And wouldn't mind reading about your progress. :lol:
Best wishes
Thanks stevie I will do that. 8-) All the best to you as well man.
Try to meditate on a person. You will see it all than. You need to make it fast though because stareing is rude...lol Practice clearing all thoughts except what you are actually doing and than do that as you glance at someone.
Easy to get away with when the preson has there back to you :-P
Still only getting that soft glow atm but I'll keep trying 8-)
Peace, LL
If you get the chance. or find someone that is willing use them to check the third eye area and "blank your thinking out" on them. Than look for traces and outlines. The first level is inded a white light around the body. from there its harder to see and just takes openness. Some wiill apear black at first thats if you have little or no practice yet. And at times black is a forwarner of illness or disease. But that black is usually only in areas not the entire aura like someone just trying this out. For some the afterglow (as mentioned above) cn be seen when you close your eyes after a look.
Certainly a handy skill to have anyway. My mum goes to aromatherapy and the woman there can see auras so shes always telling my mum about her health and stuff. If you could detect diseases and such before they manifested in the physical then much more lives could be saved. :wink:
A Black Glow huh.. I didn't think such a thing existed :-o
Just to double check I'm doing this right. I look at the persons third eye but look at the area as if I could see the background behind them.. looking but not looking in a way. If that makes sense.
You should hang out with those women sometime :wink:
At this point dont think colors. when you get it you will know bad areas from good clean areas on the body...
really if you can i would go see those women they will move you along fast..
Auric sight isn't all it's cracked up to be....But with that said I'd love to help! Try meditating when you are alone on the brow/third eye chakra with eyes rolled up focusing on it. Hope that helps!
It may not be that big of deal. But if you have never done it it is. Besides seeing auras is also a gateway just like many abilities. It leads to other things like being able to tell real areas in dreams and made up ones. Also with healing and with enough intent you can pick out bad and good things that will happen to you by seeing someones energy.
Yer i'm sure she could teach me a thing or two.. hehe :lol:
I think Auric Sight is a skill everyone should learn just like reading... plus it would save lives and even cut down on NHS bills. Tony Blair didn't think of that one did he!
Do you use a certain mantra to meditate your third eye of is it just visualisation?
I have such heavy activity in my third eye that i never use Mantra for it. Unless you consider Ohm but i use that for most everything. The key for (me at least) useing the ajna chakra is to focus its "lens" on your aura (even if you dont see auras). And also to make sure you use it daily just as you would your other senses.
Will do Enoch 8-)
Last night I was lying in bed with my night light on and I held my arms up and made the tips of my fingers tough the corresponding tips on the other hand. And I was pulling them away slowly, the aura was incredible. It was so strong, seemed almost solid it was so strong.
Also this question came to mind. If the aura is coming form a person then would that mean that it wouldn't need a light source to glow?? e.g. Being able to see them in the dark?
Peace, LL
Dark, light, it matters very little. Backgrounds can interfere and clothing. Everything has energy and an aura. Not the same but enough to see the wrong thing at first.
I was just wondering whether Auras were luminous or not that's all.
...Maybe a highly "Enlightened" person might have a glow thats actually visible to people who can't see auras because of the strength of it? :-o
Also is the Halo that appears on most angelic paintings and such supposed to represent the aura around the head?
Peace, LL 8-)
It is always luminous. The halo is still a conroversy. But yes it does have to do with the aura. Some think its the Kundalini after riseing. Some believe illumination is the only way to earn a halo.
I thought a halo was the higher chakras ie 12 or 13 chakra...it would mean someone had to be very spiritual to have one ie Jesus etc.....
Exactly...that would cover being illuminated.
12th or 13th chakra :-o
In the chakra system I thought there was 7 major chakras and about 300 minor ones???
I'm sure I've read that the halo symbolises an open crown chakra. And that is why royalty wear crowns on there head, to symbolise an open crown chakra.... (correct me if i'm wrong)
.... Then again I could have just made it up :| hehe
Kundalini awakening is something that interests me lots, I need to get a book on it so I know more about it.
Peace, LL 8-)
Here's a good link:
http://home.xtra.co.nz/hosts/Wingmakers/The%20Twelve%20Major%20Chakras.html
http://www.kheper.net/topics/chakras/Sahasrara.htm
There are many chakra. But as far as the major ones it goes to 12 or 13 some that go into the earth below you and some above the crown. Just use what feels right for you because everyone has an opinion on this. I prefer to think it is 12 because that is how many times the tree of life branches off. But 13 would also make sense. As long as you learn to use the seven that are your energy centers first you will do just fine.
I see, thanks for the links man I'll check them out.
Is the Base/Root Chakra at the base of the spine??? I've got a diagram and it says sacral chakra is between the genitals and anus. Would this not make the Sacral Chakra the first chakra and not the Root?
Sorry if i'm confusing people here it was just a question that was bugging me.
Peace, LL 8-)
The root and first chakra are one and the same. Associated with the color red. The rainbow was given to humans after god destroyed the world the last time. Some think it is completely associated with the chakra. It would make sense because many obe experiances are through a chakra.
Interesting... just a random thought here but do you think you could have your third eye so open that you could actually see astral entities? I know psychics have an open third eye but I'm not too sure how they actually percieve the astral world. Is it like they are looking out of physical and astral eyes at once??
Peace, LL 8-)
Lucid Learner, I think we're kind of in the same boat. All summer long I would be distracted by trying to see my math teachers aura, instead of focusing on the lessson! What I started to see from her was what you described, it was a bright/sparkly/luminous haze around her head and seemed to jump up about 8 inches above her head and trailed like what you described. When I was first seeing her aura move with her I thought this was strange then I just accepted it.
One thing that definitely helps me is something that Robert Bruce mentions, but I'd just like to say how it works for me. Touching or scratching the area of your 6th chakra can help the stimulation immensely, at least for me. Sometimes I would just act bored and touch my 6th chakra with my pencil and immediately I'd feel tons of pressure on that area and through my head. I have to concentrate pretty hard to get it to stop, but it doesn't seem to change the auras, which confuses me.
Oh and I thought it was strange the poster that said auric sight isn't all it's cracked up to be....I think you may have a misguided intent for the use of auric sight.
Yeh I think your prolly right SilverSlider. I'll give your method a go. it seems pretty sly and perfect to get away with in a lesson :wink:
I had a hard time convincing myself that it wasn't just after images I was seeing. I did a few experiments until I couldn't disprove it. Now I'm going along with it, trying to take it to the next level. Which for me is seeing colours.
Peace, LL 8-)
One thing that I don't understand about auric vision and I pretty much refuse to believe in is that when you blink it goes away...ok is this not a "psychic vision"? Isn't this being "seen" by something other than our eyes? (chakra(s))....At least for me, when I blink I lose mental focus for a second, but I feel like I still have it, like I havn't lost the link.
There should only be a moment with blinking if you are concentrating well. some people even see the aura better when they shut there eyes after looking at someone. Your third eye comes into play. Depending on how awake yours is you should be able to ALWAYS see all auras with enough practice. It does however give you a headache for the first dys because of the never before seen colors and of course everythingi s surrounded by aura now.
Yes, I hope to develop my skills to such a level.
I heard a story about a man who could see auras all the time around everything. He went into a building and pressed the elevator button. When it arrived there were a few people inside. However he couldn't see the auras on any of them, so he thought something wasn't right and didn't enter. A few moments later the elevator broke and they all died.
Do you think theres any truth in this? I'm not too sure myself :| but it would be freaky if it was true. I know the aura goes away before death so it would make sense.
Peace, LL 8-)
I dont know. Interesting though. Seems maybe a bit far fetched just because i cannot see the aura being gone until after death. But hey we are esoteric people and open to possibilities most are not.

Yer too right, Robert Bruce says it fades before death comes. But the thing is I think he's referring to natural death.. e.g. old age. Sudden Death is rather different though, but because there is only time in this realm it makes it highly probable that such a thing can happen.
Then again that story might be a false one... it's certainly possible though.
Peace, LL 8-)
Yeah I definitely hope to be able to see auras any time I want to, that would be nice.
I'm a little bit sceptical of that story..i mean there is still the possibility of changing paths when it comes to sudden things like that. Instead of them all plummeting to their deaths, what if the guy convinced them to get off? Would their auras magically come back? ehhh I dunno. I think it mostly conveys a general concept about auric sight.
It certainly makes you think about fate, that story whether it's true or not; still shocked me.
You highlighted a good point SilverSlider. If they didn't go in the lifts would they still have died? Perhaps they were all meant to die there and then, and karma brought them to the same place at once... Who knows? But I wouldn't like to be able to see my own death coming just my looking in the mirror :|
Peace, LL 8-)
Well I just thought I'd update....
Just got back from chem lab and had a pretty interesting experience. I was talking to my prof about this machine that we were using and suddenly I noticed there was a *very* bright yellow/golden glow around his head. I noticed it and it went away but I just did what I usually do to try and get auras to show themselves and it came and went during our conversation but it was somewhat elusive. I don't know if it was because he was moving and talking or if it was because I was so close so I couldn't just gently gaze at it and had to basically look directly or what.
I was also wondering if maybe i saw it because i was close? does anyone know if distance is a factor in auras? I tried to see it later and couldn't, but I was 2 or 3 times farther away :?
All in all - very happy. It was such a rich color, I was really quite amazed. I meditated this morning as well which I normally don't do which may have contributed to this. I saw some really beautiful violets and blues while meditating as well. The colors in the psychic world compared to visible light colors are well...worlds apart! :lol:
How are things going for you Lucid learner?
GOLD AURA COLOR: The color of enlightenment and divine protection. When seen within the aura, it says that the person is being guided by their highest good. It is divine guidance. Protection, wisdom, inner knowledge, spiritual mind, intuitive thinker.
YELLOW AURA COLOR: Relates to the spleen and life energy. It is the color of awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going.
Source: http://www.reiki-for-holistic-health.com/auracolormeanings.html (http://www.reiki-for-holistic-health.com/auracolormeanings.html)
If what you saw is really his Aura your prof is a really interesting person.
Maybe you want to approach him lightly if he believes in meditation or so?
Yeah man you are right he is a very interesting person. He is Indian so I assume he is Hindu as he is a vegetarian. I was seriously considering talking to him about vegetarianism and see where that goes since I am a vegetarian as well. He's my biochemistry teacher and *very* intelligent and cares a lot when it comes to teaching; for example when the class does bad on something he feels bad for not teaching us correctly! most profesors would just get mad at the class. I certainly believe he is being guided by his highest good.
That's interesing that there is a distinction between gold and yellow since his was definitely golden. I've also heard though that all people while in thought or people who are just mental have a yellow aura around their head...but then I've also heard that the halos around saints are auras (indicating a certain level of spirituality)....but then again what I saw was very obvious and obviously golden so maybe what is recorded as yellow was the best that the seers of saint's auras could get :?
Auras are neat...i want more! :-P I guess it'll come in time :|

Silver there is a link i posted earlier in this thread that will help you so much if you really want too see auras.
Darkmind and Mydral:
I wish I had found this thread earlier. I posted my own thread asking about pretty much the same experiences, that is:
1. I see a very thin bright yellow tinge within a pale blue outline.
2. This appears instantaneously and effortlessly.
3. & like you said, Mydral, the blue appears around everything.
I mentioned in my thread too that I see an invisible waviness, but it is especially obvious when I look at the sky, when there's sunlight, or around fluorescent lights, but I see it straight on.
I am so pleased to read someone else sees the same thing too (especially the yellow). :D

hi this is my first post here im glad i found this forum, anyway id like to ask iff any of you ever heard of etheric sight? it seems much the same as aura sight as i can see those too, i think they are the same abilaty only etheric sight being more developed,however im not sure ,wondering iff any of you know more ,it is a wonderful abilatyseeing these things.
