How To See Aura & Energy Fields
Simple techniques and exercises to be able to see an aura.
How To Perceive Aura
Before you begin working with the specific techniques and applications of aura reading, it’s important to understand a few things about the experiences you are likely to have. As with anything else in life, the degree to which your experiences are positive, negative, or neutral depends to a large degree on your expectations.
This is certainly the case when you begin to work with auras. Too many people have expectations of being able to see bright, vivid colors from the very start, and in most cases, these expectations are simply unrealistic. Remember that the energies of the aura can be very subtle, and patience must be exercised as you develop the required sensitivity.
Remember also that auras are not part of the visible, physical world that most of us are accustomed to. Auras belong to a level of existence beyond the merely physical, and act as mediators between our everyday material world and the eternal world of the spiritual.
As you begin to work with auras, try to take a light-hearted approach. Your chances for success are far greater if you simply relax and appreciate the process as it unfolds. To adopt an overly serious or doggedly persistent attitude will not help or accelerate your progress, and will only serve to make the experience less enjoyable.
How To Sense Auras
As stated previously, there are two basic approaches to observing an aura — with the physical senses (primarily sight, although touch is a close second), and with the intuitive senses. Both approaches have their benefits and are worth exploring for the beginning aura reader. In this book, we will focus on the intuitive sensing of auras. This is because of the two approaches, it is the one that receives far less attention in the standard texts on auras.
Another reason we’ll focus here on the intuitive approach is that because of the two, it is easier. This is because our primary tool in the intuitive approach is our imagination, and just about everyone has an imagination and is able to realize success quicker as a result.
Using your imagination involves nothing more than developing the ability to relax and visualize the aura in your mind’s eye, rather than your physical eyes. Research has shown that the majority of aura readers prefer the intuitive approach, even if they started out by seeing auras with their physical eyes. When correctly interpreted, your intuitive visualizations of auras will be just as accurate as someone else’s physical observations.
Using Intuitive Imagination and Subconscious Mind
The use of your imagination and intuition brings your subconscious mind into play. One of the interesting aspects of the subconscious mind is that it doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined. As an example, try imagining an argument you had with someone, either recently or long ago.
As you replay (and imagine) the argument in your mind, you will notice that you begin to experience the emotions you felt when you originally had the argument. If you do this for long, you will also begin to exhibit physical responses as well — increased heart rate, tense muscles, discomfort in the stomach area, to name a few possible reactions. If you have actually tried this experiment while reading this, don’t spend too much time verifying its accuracy — it’s a genuine waste of time reliving unpleasant events of the past, and can actually lead to physical illness.
You may also be familiar with the experience of trying to solve a problem, and after working at it for a while with no sign of a solution, you may have given up — only to find that the answer literally popped into your mind a few hours or days later. This usually happens when you least expect it, such as when you are asleep or in the shower. This phenomenon of “automatic solutions” is a manifestation of your subconscious mind, which will work relentlessly at solving a problem once you have expressed a sincere desire for its solution.
In this way, you may very well find that your initial approach of imagining or visualizing auras eventually leads to your being able to perceive auras with your physical senses. It is simply a matter of your subconscious mind understanding that you are sincere in your wish to see auras and then working out the best approach for you.
Aura Awareness
The first step in learning to see auras is to simply be aware that they exist. That may seem to be too simple, but it’s true. That which we focus on with our imagination has a tendency to become reality, and this concept works with auras, too.
Start by learning the basics of the chakra system, and spend some time meditating on each of your chakra centers. Once you feel comfortable with how each of the chakras contributes to your overall being, learn the meanings of the individual aura colors. As you direct your attention to the conceptual ideas behind the chakras and auras, your subconscious mind will be quietly listening and trying to decide whether it’s something you are serious about making part of your life.
Repetition is the key here, and some people maintain that doing something 19 times will make it a habit. Interestingly enough, this holds true whether you’re talking about something harmful (like smoking) or beneficial (like exercising). The benefit to this approach is that it helps remove the ambiguity from the question “How long do I need to do this before it works, or know that I’m wasting my time?”
