Am I on the right track toward seeing auras?

If you stare at something for a minute or two you're going to burn a reverse color image of the object into your retina temporarily. If you shift your perspective a little you'll see what looks like an aura.

It is possible to see real auras but it's important not to get on the wrong track by thinking that retina burn-in is the same thing as seeing an aura.

I think your focusing too much on it, you're describing the after-image that is burned into the retina, but this isn't the aura

you should be able to see an aura within SECONDs of observing something, and the longer you look at it, the bigger it'll get

I suggest doing some third eye opening techniques, also try looking at some plants,

For a non living thing, aren't the aura colors fixed because well.. like u guys said, it is the reverse color?

So guys, what are some 3rd eye opening techniques?  I have read a couple different things and while I practice it, it doesn't quite "click" with me just yet if you know what i mean, so any extra info for these things will help greatly! thanks a bunch!

Try using NEW and practice blanking your mind and also visualizing things as clearly as you can.

Hey everybody, it's been about 6 weeks I have been practicing viewing auras for anything.  If I look at a non-living solid colored object for at least 2 minutes, it's aura will appear sometimes instantly in full blown color but most of the time it creeps on and hints of the color can be seen with enough concentration.  Now, seeing human auras I can't say I have.  I try to see my own and I can only see like the faint smokey initial aura, but nothing that comes up that I can distinguish as far as that real colored aura band.

Oh that reminds me, just as we speak as I am typing and staring at this text box, I started to see the aura on the sides of this surrounding blue box, haha.. funny this happens NOW.. because THIS is what has been happening a lot more often.  I am just wondering since I am having trouble seeing auras of living things but not for nonliving, if there are "special" practices or just keep practicing daily like how i do with whoever/whatever is possible with and with time will I actually see peoples auras?  My goal is to be able to see humans auras with ease, but wow, if it's really hard to see mine, this seems like it might just take a long long time, although i have seen significant improvement.

Just looking forward to some replies on this topic I guess.  It's a lonely world, I mean the real world, when it comes to these FASCINATING and VERY REAL subjects, but people will think i'm nuts! []  oh well i'm sane, they are all insane, right? []
