Aura Readings
What are Auras?
Every living thing has an aura around it, which can only be seen in certain conditions and with adequate training. Auras usually appear as a glow encompassing your entire body, but can be separated into smaller elements just like your chakras. When you know what colors relate to certain moods, you are able to tell how somebody else is feeling - without reading their mind !
Seeing a happy couple together will produce an aura between the two that seems to be joined in the middle. This is the energy of their love mixing and merging between them. Likewise, if two friends have had an argument their auras will be thinner than usual when nearby because their energies are focussed on being angry with one another.
Auras are made up of the following auric fields:
- The physical field vibrates at the lowest frequency of all fields, is visible to the human eye without training and changes according to health and wellbeing.
- The etheric field is like a blueprint for the physical body. It usually has a grey appearance and changes based on how energy flow throughout the body needs the physical body to develop. It handles energy exchange between the universal energy field and the physical body.
- The emotional field is one of the more colourful fields and changes hue based on mood and that wellbeing of each chakra. Stress and tension will affect the state of this field. It is more oval than the etheric field which tends to follow the shape of the physical body.
- The mental field is usually more spread out than the emotional even though it overlaps. It is visible as bright yellow, usually around the crown of the head. In religious paintings important figures are seen with a yellow halo just like the mental field appears to those who can see it. It changes depending on how confused or focussed you are and benefits from work on 3rd and 5th chakras.
- The astral field acts as a nexus between the physical and spiritual realms. It exists in it's own plane, the astral plane, free of the confines of time and space. It generates colours similar to the emotional field, but usually with a reddish hue. Benefits from work on all chakras.
- The etheric template field exists purely on the spiritual plane and is the spiritual equivalent of the physical field. It represents the human physically in the spirit plane.
- The celestial field or spiritual field has access to all energies from the universe and appears as pastel colours similar to those of the emotional field. It acts as a template for the etheric field in the physical plane.
- The causal field is named causal because it is to do with the direction your life is going to take. Appearing as a pale gold to the viewer, this field exists well beyond death and even into the next life. Energy here is used to direct our lower levels of existence based on a world without time or space. It is the equivalent of the mental field in the spiritual plane.
How to see an Aura:
Here's two ways you can get started and begin to see an aura.
The first is the simplest, but may not yield results as good as the second method. :
Method 1: The Simple Way
1. Sit facing a neutral backdrop in a relaxed posture.
2. Point your index fingers towards each other so they overlap in front of you.
3. Move your overlapped fingers just above your nose so one of them touches
your nose.
4. Focus your sight on the middle of your overlapped fingers.
5. Slowly move your hands away from your face and away from each other, so they
gradually move to the left and right of your field of view.
6. If you are doing it right you should see the ends of your fingers joined
together in the middle of your field of view. Your eyes should be slightly out
of focus and it will look like you are seeing double.
7. Don't focus on your fingers, but on the space around them. You should start
to see colours towards the end of your fingertips. Congratulations! This is
your aura.
Mathod 2: The Reliable Way
1. Sit facing a neutral backdrop in a relaxed posture.
2. Cover a book in blue, red or green paper.
3. Stand the covered book against your backdrop.
4. Close your eyes, breathe slowly and not too deeply. Focus on how calm you
feel.
5. When ready, slowly open your eyes and without focussing (using your eye muscles
to squint or stare) gaze upon the area to the right or left of the covered book.
6. After 30-60 seconds a feint color will start to appear around the edges of
the book. It will build up over time and become more colourful.
7. Don't look directly at the book or else the aura will dissappear.
8. Once you are finished remove the book and wait for your eyes to re-adjust
to the lighting in the room.
Whatever way you practice, make sure you keep at it. Many people try once and
give up, which isn't going to do the trick. Several people mistake the afterimage
you see when you look at bright lights for an aura - it is not the same ! Auras
are more ethereal in nature and look like wisps of smoke around your body.
Now that you know how to start seeing auras, you may want to try the second method on plants, animals and eventually people. Once you have become confident and practiced for a week or two a few minutes each day, this skill will become an invaluable asset. But for now, it's time to find out more - where exactly do these auras come from ?
