      Who here can see Auras?

      supposedly there are people who can see other peoples auras. Your 'aura' as I understand is like your astral body.

      i don't get this...anyone care to explain?

      Okay, I'm going to say this without the fancy words and how I understand it. Theres the ESOTERIC views, and the EASTERN views. They both have crazy names for everything.

      I can see auras, and its really cool.

      Theres the first layer, which is your subtle/etheric body (thats the one that governs your body usually. Electrical vibrations and stuff that the body needs), then theres the second layer that is usually one or a few colors and a shape depending on your personality, mood, health and such.
      Then theres the third layer that has thoughts and stuff in it. It takes a while to see that one. Apparently the third layer usually corresponds with the second, because colors have matches. ex. green goes with pink and vice versa.

      People have halos, too. The size depends on the level of spirituality or self-actualization or whatever. The color depends on alot of things.

      The first thing is to look at your hand in soft light against a solid-colored floor. It should look like you've just placed it on water and there's an outline around it. Thats your first layer. Yay!

      I'll give you a link or two to explore the concept, because I'm learning myself. I love auras

      http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm

      - This one above has the best tutorial I've come across. Theres two ways to see auras, one is with training your physical eyes and the other is with your third eye or etheric vision or whatever. This is with your eyes. You might as well do both.

      http://www.the-auras-expert.com/

      - This one is a little more eastern. I believe chakras to be a beautiful concept.

      I believe theres a guy a few threads down who offers an e-book to opening the third eye. That could be helpful!

      Anyways, have fun! feel free to pm me or even just ask questions.

      P.S.
      If you get into the dynamics of astral projection, it gets complicated and the conclusion I have come to is that the astral body is something the body creates and sends out to return. And the first layer STAYS with the body during that because... it would die without it. So the astral body is something different... more of a consciousness...

      Songbird according to some people seeing auras with your physical eyes is not possible, you need to develop clairvoyance unless you can somehow confirm your correct by telling me of an expirience with auras.

      The rods and cones in your eyes suffer from a form of analog burn in. Basically, if a still image is presented to your eye for a long period of time, the rods and cones tire from being used to actually CREATE the image in your brain. If you stare at your arm long enough against that wall, the image will become mildly distorted over time, especially in the areas of high contrast. Outlines of objects tend to create a "glow" effect within a few seconds, and this just happens to line up perfectly for people who think they are creating a "psi ball" and then they experience analytical overlay.

      It actually is. You can train your eyes to sharpen their focus on things and pick up the wavelength/vibrations that your body exudes.
      I woud'nt say this is the best way to do it, because if you develop clairvoyance it accompanies many other things that are pretty awesome. And if you just do it with your eyes... then you have no spiritual stuff to accompany it with.

      The "thaiooba" site that I linked to has alot of scientific information on it.

      I would rather just develop clairvoyance then, simply because I would trust it more, and because you can blatantly see it rather than using peripheral vision. You also don't have to be looking at the person since clairvoyance includes remote viewing which is much more convenient.

      Before trying to see auras, be sure to familiaraize yourself with the various how the eye and cones and stuff work. Cuz seeing a green aura around someone wearing a red shirt is nothing special at all.

      if it's just your eyes going funny on you, you should see a greenish blue glow - or what ever color is relatively opposite of your skin. that's neither your aura or the energy coming off of your body, that's just your eyes playing tricks on you

      if you are seeing you're aura, it will look more like a flame from what I understand. rather than just being an even glow all around, at certain points in your body the flame will be larger. while the glow is even all around, no more extending than an inch, your halo above your head can be two to several feet tall

      the aura doesn't necessarily conform to a human body shape, it's been known to be egg shaped

      so if you're just seeing a glow, probably not aura

      You mean a pink shirt.

      The auric match to green is pink.
      The auric match to red is turqoise.



      I'm apparently not so good at this aura thing. x_x Hopefully because it's my first time trying... I don't expect to be real good right off the bat.

      When I tried the first concentration exercisein Songbird's link, I saw a turqouse aura around the red circle, and later found out that it's an auric pair. n_n But apparently, I was also supposed to see a red aura for the turqoise circle, and I saw nothing.

      During the second exersice, I could get the circles the circles to overlap easily, but the blue circle totally dominated the red, so I could never see if I had a perfect cross.

      What if I told you that I am dreaming right now?
      That your whole life is a lie?
      That the laws of physics as you know them are incorrect?

      Furthermore, what would you do if I told you I'm going to wake up as soon as you finish reading my signature?

      Lets put it this way: you are supposed to blatantly be able to sense auras, if you need your peripheral vision, it's not your aura. I explained this in my first post with a quote.



      In a nutshell, if you want to see auras, send energy to your eyes with the intention of seeing auruas and eventually it will work.

      No, I meant what I said. The cones of the eyes are sort of bouncy, and when you look at something red and pull away, they automatically bounce to the opposite end of the color spectrum. Green is the opposite of red. It's just how the eyes work, has nothing to do with auras.

      And seeing a pink aura on something green, well pink is practically red, it's not an aura...

      I agree you don't see the astral directly with your real eyes. And good luck describing anything you do see that way.

      I know my opposites! I paint! red and green.

      but the funny eye tricks doesn't use opposites. mini was referring to the first link in the first post. try the two circle trick yourself. the circle is red, but you'll see a bright turquoise halo around the red circle, not a true green.

      the eye tricks are fun, but I've seen stuff like this years ago and all I find is that it's nothing more than your eyes going funny on you. are there no real tutorials?

      Juroara you are wrong...sort of, green is the opposide to red, however obviously that isn't a true red. Don't believe me? Go on paint and invert the colors your self by pressing CTRL + I

      supposedly You can learn to see auras here with your peripheral vision.
      http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm

      I agree with crecsent fox. I'm trying to learn this way anyways though so I can see for myself if it's just your eyes playing tricks on you or not...

      Does seeing auras get annoying after a while?

      It'd be interesting, but I think I would get sick of it.

      I would not think so, from what I know, you have to defocus, or look in the air/nothing while concentrating. So you will only see auras if you wan't too.

      right. you have to concentrate to see them.i know,i can do it and it depends on the person as to what shape they are and how large.i've had people who only have a little glow like what you get when you stare at something too long but its not that because its not opposite.i've only seen one person with a flame as large as a foot.halos are a different matter, sometimes they're connected to the central body aura and sometimes they're separate.halos are also larger than auras.i've seen one reach at least three feet into the air above the person's head. it was a goldish red color.

      an inversion isn't exactly the same as an opposite

      mind you, im coming from a painters background. an opposite color is still the same value in painting world. an inversion has the opposite value. the turquoise halo was so much brighter than the red!

      Well since you are a painter then I guess your correct. But if an inversion isn't the opposite then what exactly is it?

      Either way, trusting only your physical eyes is your choice. Personally I would rather not because the way I see "auras" with my physical eyes just looks like a glow. I have read that they are supposed to look more like fire rather than a glow.

      I tried an aura seeing site and it just hurt mine eyes.
      The starz...
      The planets...
      The intricate and dynamic machinery of nature...
      Are you saying,
      that all of this was created,
      BY A MONKEY??????

      u know i did that just now it was easy for me cuz ive done it b4 like one time i was lookin in the mirror after i got out of the shower and i just stood there and after a while it was like theres a white outline around me i thought it was just my eyes unfocusing rather it may have been the opposite so ive done it from time to time

      Well I have read so on other websites but they involve strict training/practice. Apparently to see the real thing using your "third eye" takes about 2 years. 6 months for the actual training, and the rest is preliminary skill development which is basically mental disclipline. Does anyone still want the link to the tutorial?


      Anyways, they are supposed to be egg shapped, and apparently people who are spiritual, advanced meditators, witches, etc. have bigger auras.

      Thanks for the link. I went through it and did the first two exercises so far. I loved the first one, after staring for 20seconds or so, all the surrounding area became white and grainy which was pretty cool. The second exercise, I was able to get the 4 circles and somewhat lined up the middle two, need a lot more practice though, lol

      hmmm.... If any of you guys have watched the anime dbz, then based on what you guys are writing, it would appear that the aura is similar to the powering up that the characters do after they transform to Super Saiyan minus the electricity and the crazy hair, lol
