Part 14 - How to See an Aura

• 
  

  Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are calm, look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, a little to the side and just past it. This is as if you were gazing at, but not focusing on, the wall behind it.

  
  


• 
  

  The whole idea is to totally relax the focus of your eyes and view the subject with your peripheral, or side vision. By side vision, I mean just to the side of your normal focused area of sight (a couple of inches only) not out of the corner of your eye.

  
  


• 
  

  Gently hold that gaze and relax your eyes. Get used to that relaxed focus and try not to strain or tense your eyes or forehead while doing it. Concentrate! You need an intense, but very relaxed and steady gaze, similar to day- dreaming.

  
  

Technique for Opening the Brow Center

• Lightly scratch the skin directly between your eyes, and just above it, in the centre of your brow, with a fingernail. This will help you to zero in on that spot with your bodily awareness.


• Shift your bodily awareness to the area between your eyes - concentrate on being aware of that area!


• Mentally lift this whole area - as if you were trying to force your eyelids to open - but do not allow the muscles in this area to tense up or respond in any way (this is all mental).


• Isolate the mental command that lifts your eyelids. Observe yourself closely. Imagine your eyes are very heavy, and let them close on you, and open them a few times. Observe which muscles you use to do this. Use this same muscle command - with your mind based bodily awareness, in that area - but without letting your eyelid muscles obey.


• Do this over and over again - lifting, lifting, lifting - as if you were lifting a heavy shadow from behind your eyes.


• Repeat this action, over and over, but do not allow yourself - or any muscles - to tense up or respond. This is a bit tricky to, start with, but easily mastered with a little practise.


• This mental opening action is very important. It is the first step in learning how to control your brow centre and, later, the rest of your energy body - if you decide to progress to developing full clairvoyance and other psychic abilities.


• In the early stages, it does not matter if you feel you are lifting too large an area over your brow. Even if you are lifting right across the whole front of your forehead - it will still have an opening effect on your brow centre. With practise, you will be able to narrow the focus of this mental opening action - to the brow centre area alone.


• If you keep up this mental opening action, you will stimulate your brow centre - forcing it to become active. Your steady, relaxed focus, on your subject, will tune your brow centre into the energy given off by it. This energy will be passed along to the sight centre of your brain. There, it will be interpreted as a sight picture - a bright band of coloured light.

• Once you have completed the first steps, gather several books and wrap them, each in a different primary colour.


• The brighter the colour - the brighter the aura - and the easier it is to see.


• Study these coloured books, one at a time, and write down the colours you see.


• Observe the books, two at a time, and watch how their auric colours affect each other.


• Move them around, mix them, sit them on top of each other, observe them all in a row.

• Get a pot plant, or some fresh flowers, and study their aura. The aura you will see around them is a living aura. Keep in mind the effects of the auric colours from the petals and leaves. The orange hue you will see, around the green parts of the plants stems and leaves, comes from the auric colour of green - the same as with observing a green book. Some of the other colours, with flowers, will come from the colours of the petals.


• You will see a more distinct etheric and a stronger shimmering, optical effect around the plant.


• Living auras are more subtle and, thus, a little harder to see, than a simple colour's aura. With practise, though, the auras of plants will become much easier to see.

• Observe the aura of a tree. Pick a good sized tree that you can view, highlighted against the sky. It is best to observe it with the sun behind you, early in the morning or late in the day. If the sun, or any strong reflection, is in your eyes, it will make this very difficult to do.


• The shimmering around the tree will be much more imposing and intense, than with a small plant. The colour of a tree's aura will also be influenced, not only by the colours of the leaves and bark, but also by the colour of the sky itself. On a sunny day, a tree's aura will appear to be a shade of blue. On a cloudy day, it will appear to be creamy-grey.


• Viewing distance: Experiment with this, as it depends upon the size of the tree. Make sure you can see the entire top of the tree in your field of view. You need to be, approximately, three times the height of the tree away from it, or more.


• A tree's aura can be huge, depending upon the size of the tree and how strong it is. At the top of the tree's aura you can sometimes see a fountaining effect, as if it's aura were slowly spraying up out of it. I am not sure what causes this, and I have not seen this with every tree I have observed. Some people say it is the tree's spirit, or a nature spirit living inside the tree, that causes it. Some trees do seem to have a kind of consciousness within them, so this may be true.

• For the next step, use an animal, any animal: a dog, cat, kangaroo, camel, lion, tiger, elephant, etc, if you have access to one. Try and observe them when they are resting. Animal auras are not as colourful as human auras, but they are still very good practise. Keep in mind, that the colour of the animals coat will affect the colour of it's aura.


• Disease can be detected in the aura of an animal, the same as with a human subject. This makes observing them very good practise, for diagnosing the early signs of disease in an aura.

• Have your subject wear a colourful shirt, dress or jumper - anything will do. Use any colour but blue - do not use blue - as this will flood and hide the yellow of the intellect, the colour most commonly seen around the head area.


• Make sure their upper neck area is bare. Observe their shoulder area, using the same setting and technique, as with the original book. You will see the colour of the shirt easily, building up around their shoulder.


• Make sure you continue to do the mental opening action - with all these exercises.


• When the shirt's aura is clear around their shoulder area, shift your gaze slightly higher - so you are gazing past their bare neck area. Keep the shirt's aura in view - don't change what you are doing - and see what other colours you can pick up around their bare neck.


• This exercise makes sure your eyes and brow centre are working together, as with the book.


• Do not focus directly on your subject's neck! All auras must be gazed at and observed with peripheral vision.


• You should begin to see a slightly different colour, building up near the top of their shirts auric colour - around their bare neck and head.


• Now, shift your gaze slightly higher, so your line of sight is level with their head area. Keep your gaze relaxed and don't change anything. You should see some yellow around this area.


• When you see a little, ask your subject to do some mental arithmetic, or think hard about something. See if their aura brightens when they do this.

• Get your volunteer to remove some of their upper clothing. Study a bare skin area, against a neutral background - the same as with the book. The upper arm and shoulder area is the best place to start your observation.


• With bare skin, the first thing you will see is a slight shimmering effect, a fuzziness in the air near the skin. Next, you will see the etheric aura build up from their skin. This looks like creamy, pale-blue smoke, clinging to their skin. This is quite distinct and normally about half an inch deep.


• Hold your focus and the aura's main colours will begin to build up, and out, from the etheric aura. It will first appear as a narrow band of colour, highlighting the edge of the etheric aura. This will appear and disappear, grow and shrink, quite a bit. This part is very frustrating, but keep at it and it will get easier. The colour will slowly grow larger and become thicker and more well defined. Hold your focus and it will grow to several inches or more thick. The main aura may vanish and reappear many times, as I said, while it is building up. This is caused by blinking and minute shifts in your focus, and cannot be helped.
