more on the Aura (long and maybe OT)

ABOUT SEEING THE AURA

 

Some people can see the human aura. Some of us never have and some

have on occasion but do not usually. First off it is not a really big

deal if you do or don't see the aura . It really does not seem to have

any bearing on a persons actual spiritual state in any case. Many

people never see auras, feel energy, hear mystical information or have

visions and many of these people can be just as good or better as

healing practitioners and have as deep or deeper spiritual realization

than people who do get the bells and whistles . Don't let this minor

matter discourage you and if you do get the effects don't get all

impressed with yourself either.

 

Most people when they do see an aura do not see much more than a misty

outline and often dismiss that as optical illusion or heat waves. This

is subtle energy so it is much more often quite light and ephemeral as

the energy field is also pulsing and shifting.constantly. The aura is

not the optical reaction you see when you gaze at an

object of one color for a long time then look away / It is not the

spots you get in front of your eyes when you look at a bright light.

nor is it the optical flashes and such you might get from eye strain or

migrain headaches .

There are a multitude of theories and methods for seeing the aura most

of them work some are easier than others to use .

Crystals can be programmed to assist you with seeing auras and receiving

information

Though the first time I tried to program a crystal for this function I

actually made it easier for other people to see my aura instead .

 

Most people try too hard. Relax and kind of unfocus your eyes and

allow

yourself to observe, if you don't see anything different than usual

that's fine. When out doors you might look along the tree line quite

often the life force or aura of the trees and other plants is often

visible as a kind of mist or faint glowing outline.

Most excercises to see auras call for an area with indirect light

kind of like that of a cloudy overcast day or early twilight . You

also need a neutral or white plain background so it won't interfere

with your observations. When you become familiar with seeing auras this

won't be essential but at first it helps greatly.

 

You have probably already done one of the fastest ways to get a

glimpse of

your own aura which is to face a neutral colored wall in indirect

light and to hold

your index finger together at eye level move your fingers until you

get the optical illusion of having a floating third finger in the

center . the little flare of color you may see at your finger tips is

your aura .

 

You may be able to see your aura especially around your feet when you

are in the bathtub if the light is soft, its easier with a white tub.

To practice seeing someone else's aura have them sit near a solid light

colored wall and just look without focusing especially around the neck

and shoulders and head bright colored clothing will make this more

difficult. near sighted people have the advantage because if they

remove glasses or contacts they might achieve the unfocused vision

naturally.

These are all open eye methods and while many people use closed eye

meditations it is best to get an idea of what you sense with your eyes

open .as with your eyes closed it may be more of a challenge to seperate

your own information and imagination from the received input.

 

Many people have commented that when seeing auras they only see

the " heat

waves " or misty whitish outlines and are disappointed with themselves

because they are not seeing lots of color etc. . I used to feel that

way too I would occasionally see colors and or get symbolic imagery

but most of the time with most people all I could see was the mist

and waves. Many people find it easier to feel the energy of the aura

In the first place there are permission issues many people are shielded

by choice. Generally most of us will be able to see these things only

with permission or compelling reason .

My personal experience is that and this is not true for everyone.

Most of the time with most of the people what is there to see is the

waves and misty

outlines. with practice and by raising your frequency you might/will

be able

to see more from casual observation. Unless you have a particular need

and or the specific permission of the subject and " Your choice of

Spiritual identifier here " or the person you are observing is

feeling some relatively strong emotion or focusing intensely or in

effective meditation etc. most auras tend to be fairly quiet you will

see colors among the passionate, the impassioned, the angry, the

seriously ill, the dedicated intellectual, the saint or sage, the

happy pregnant woman .young children at play, etc.. if you yourself

are in seriously impaired health. That is with the potential to die

you may see much more of the auric field of others In that case

often when your health improves or you decide to stay on Earth this

heightened sensitivity may

disappear. You also need yourself to be in a calm and detached but

positive accepting mild anticipatory state not wrapped up in emotions

or preconceptions that will effect , impede , or superimpose you own

energies on the observed. People who see all layers of the aura with

ease right off have probably spent lifetimes learning to do so and

more importantly have learned to perceive without the blocks and

restraints most of us have imposed on ourselves that restrict our

awareness of our deeper vision and perceptions.

We can release those blocks should we have the will and cause to do so.

Auras are not like neon lights very often these are mostly subtle

effects and the emotional and mental layers may change constantly so

we are talking about fleeting shifting subtle patterns of light and

color which are most often intermingled with other auric and energetic

patterns and which are rarely isolated against a neutral background

in soft light which is the best condition for observation. the Aura is

not to be confused with the optical effect of staring into light bulbs

etc.Soft light or twilight conditions are often best for aura

observation . The restraint and repression that has been prevalent in

today's society also has caused a holding in and dampening of the auric

light .the degree of visibility and activity of the observable aura

does vary to a degree according to the cultural and social traditions

of the observed person . Many Chi gong Masters and Buddhist Adepts for

example do often keep their aura pulled in tight to the physical a

lot of the time .so not seeing their aura does not mean that they or

you are not skilled or spiritual. etc.

You also need to become familiar with your own energy body the more

you

know about your own energy the easier it will become to understand

others

energy. You need to be neutral there is a not striving but allowing

state of being

that assists and enhances many of the psy sensitivities. there are

also pitfalls in rigidly adhering to some formula of interpretation of

the human aura. Your intuition untainted by your own prejudices is

vital here . Some of the older interpretive guides are for example

inclined to ignore or discount positive qualities of red. Some past

interpreters have given a more positive assessment of the quality of

unquestioned obedience to authority then we are inclined to accept

today.

 

What you may be interpreting

What you may perceive as you observe the aura and the information

and

colors in the aura. First of all the layers are not really layers

like an onion

has but areas of different frequency or wave pattern that

interpenetrate each other. There are many more than the seven to 12

most people describe though for practical purposes that is enough to

provide a general understanding of aura functions .

Generally what most people see when they observe an aura is some

of the

information from the first or etheric body visible next to the

skin. This is mostly a bluish or grayish or whitish field. Weak spots

and trauma may show as thinning or swelling in the aura or breaks

leaks spurts of energy around the etheric outline of the body .

They may also see information from the second or emotional body which

is often seen as clouds or patterns of multi colored light. traumas

and injuries in this layer may show up as muddy or loud colors gray

fogs black spots and sometimes shapes and symbols are seen in this

energy field . information and damage can be compressed and layered.

even when you do see or sense the aura you will not get all the

information.

 

Barbara Brennon in her book ( " Hands Of Light " ) describes the

different energy bodies as alternating between structured form like the

blue grid some see on the etheric (with physical related information)

and the colored clouds of the emotional body .

(the following part was taken down by me as though it were

dictated to me and could probably be considered as channeled . )

 

Your feelings thoughts and actions, your mission, pathway and dreams

are

all imprinted upon your aura from moment to moment and through

the eternity. While a reader may see your own pattern, the perceiver

and reader may also have their own code. The way they receive and

interpret what they see may not be what is there but may be a code of

information for them filtered through their auric perception All your

feelings, thought, acts and the actions taken upon you do impact upon

your aura. Not everything is preordained, the passions and fears and

restrictions and freedoms your past and possible futures are all held

with in these currents. Generally many born at the same time may

have the same basic tone on a soul level which is where expressions

such as indigo children arise yet are each separate being so one of

indigo soul tone for time may be pink or yellow or blue in personal

color brought into the incarnation yet have different color visibly

predominating from the experiences and action reaction of the life and

life plan that they are moving through as well as

showing the paths and flares of the colors of the momentary influences,

both

internal external in the physical environment and from the spiritual

creative plane being flow form and isness Which is what is simply

called God by many. and from all the

emanations thereof How may I simplify,

What you are, what you feel, what is, so one coming in to look

upon your being may see " you are blue or yellow and green " and be

seeing

a = how you are feeling reacting at that moment

b.= how you have formed patterns of feeling and reacting from the

moments before

c= what the plan or pattern intention was that you have brought

into the life with you

d= or how it harmonized or will unfold not unfold as " planned "

e = your past and or future life possibilities

f= what abilities you have brought into this life

g= your personal colors of personality, of nature, of innate wisdom

h= your soul tones or essence these may be both permanent and

transient

as to life and eternity

I= your community or collective colors which indicate the commune of

spirit and time and which all of similar mission and " cosmic heart "

might share

J = How God manifests through you

 

These are but a few of the kind of thing

that may be seen by that observer of your aura . and to mention

that also manifestly visible may be elements of the influences and

connections with the many other entities with whom you

interact and flow with . The observer may see information and

experience solely intended for that perceiver with you being only a

messenger of it for them. Each plane and each separate but intertwined

energy body has its own colors. Perception will also vary from where

the observer " stands " and whether they see more than one area of

influence and information at once someone who sees the rose of your GoD

Lovingness and bliss of the fifth energy body only through the yellow

filter of your or their aderhances to the intellectual rational

approach may perceive that as orange and say " oh what a passionate

physical tribal type that is " and have only seen the drop of water in

the ocean of your being which is perfect in its being and becoming and

Isness and beloved, as are we all. Embrace with joy your unfolding and

the beauty of your aura which is manifest. You ARE that is enough. Do

not be consumed or concerned with

what others may say of their perceptions of you and your entire

entity through your Aura form but seek your own knowing and it will

come to you.

COLOR IN THE AURA

(remember that these are subtle colors impressions not a light

show) The

energy field surrounding the physical body can be seen by some as

radiating and filled with light I checked every book pamphlet and

article and old lecture note I could find for what colors mean in

the aura and just am going to put in almost everything any one said,

obviously there are apparent conflicts.

This information is also useful in choosing color and crystals to use in

healing and other work.

healers often have green, blue, or violet in the aura, happily

pregnant women run

to pastels, lovers often have a glow of rose throughout the aura,

intellectual

activies can show up as yellow tones clear pure colors are indicative

of stronger

harmony than muddy colors

 

Color in Healing

Spiritual light and color is used for healing the aura and the physical

body

for deepening meditation and to promote specific effects in the

energy field.

As a tool for healing, color can be gazed at, beamed as healing light,

meditated on, bathed in ,worn, used in art and in ritual such as

candle magic

and mandala work and painting .

There are many systems of color healing and mandala work that can be

used for healing, spiritual development, manifestation of material

and non material goals these can involve the relationships of the

shapes and colors used as well as the intention for which the Mandala is

created. not all Mandalas are circular in form . but can be any shape of

image which is focused on in meditation or prayer and manifestation.

there are many systems of color healing using the color associated

with the chakra that rules a particular area of concern to strenghten

the influence or the complimentary color to

reduce an overcharge of energy is probably the most common method.

Color is often an important guid when choosing crystals for various

purposes

some systems ae based mainly on the color of the crystals

Oh, I don't think it's OT! Especially once you touch on the idea of

" balancing " aura colors with the stones.

 

On seeing. It took me yeeeeaaaarrrrs to be able to " see " on the

astral, let alone getting a real *physical* impression of the aura.

Drove me nuts, especially since my best friend and co-magicky-worker

had sight as one of her main natural talents. *grumble*

 

But I would receive impressions, all the same. I could (and can) feel

energy and auras--heat, cold, buzzing, whatever. I would receive

verbal impressions, so for example, if someone had pink in their aura,

I wouldn't see it, but I would get the word " pink. " As I've worked on

my blocks, I've gotten to where I can see some of these things in my

mind's eye.

 

What finally triggered me to physically see that " misty whiteness "

just around the flesh was meditating on an image of Akua'ba in _The

Heart of the Goddess_ by Hallie Iglehart Austin. It's a very stark

black and white photo, and I think that helped. My eyes just suddenly

learned the " trick, " and there was a very clear and sharp outline

around Her--and I could get them elsewhere too. It's kind of like

learning how to see those " hidden " pictures that were so popular a few

years back. (I never did get the hang of that, but auras I can do

now! LOL.)

 

Unrelated question: Anyone know where I can get a nice piece of

dioptase? I saw it at Visions and Dreams once and fell instantly in

love with it--I think it has an energy I need to connect with--but the

only piece had been bought by someone who worked there (and was

cruelly showing it off to those of us who needed it more and now

couldn't get it), and they've never seemed to get in any more. *pout*
