Thread: what is an aura?

Did you try dictionary.com ?

An aura is an afterimage, most likely.

The dictionary definition is:

An invisible breath, emanation, or radiation.
A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing; atmosphere: An aura of defeat pervaded the candidate's headquarters.
Pathology. A sensation, as of a cold breeze or a bright light, that precedes the onset of certain disorders, such as an epileptic seizure or an attack of migraine.

In more common terms, your Aura is an energy field or life force that permeates and surrounds every living thing.

Some cpeople can see them directly. In the 70's there was quite a bit of controversy with Kirlian Photography. Since then, it has pretty much been relegated to the ranks of the New Agers. Google 'kirlian', it is fairly interesting stuff.

basically the energy that you exert creates a bubble around you, if you try hard enough you can see it, and it always has different colors depending on thing or person, i suggest the book "the hands of light" it talks all about auras and is very interesting.
