Understanding Your Aura

Colours and intensity of the aura, especially around and above the head have
VERY special meanings. Watching someone's aura you can actually see the
other person's thoughts before you hear them expressed verbally. If they do
not agree with what this person is saying, you effectively see a lie every time.
No one can lie in front of you undetected. We cannot fake the Aura. It shows
our True Nature and intentions for everyone to see.
Also, aura is our spiritual signature. When you see a person with a bright,
clean aura, you can be sure that such a person is good and spiritually
advanced, even if he/she is modest and not aware of it. When you see a
person with a gray or dark aura, you may be almost know, that such a person
has unclear intentions, regardless how impressive, eloquent, educated, "good
looking" or "well dressed" he/she seems to appear.
The aura is an energy field, which emanates from the surface of a person or
object. Everyone and everything has an aura. The field of energy around our
physical body forms our aura and is visualized as an outline of cascading
colour. Every thought, feeling and experience we have affects the vibration of
this energy field.
Recognition of the fact that humans are surrounded by an aura dates back
through the millennia - Christian saints are traditionally shown with a halo
around the head, the ancient Egyptians did the same for their gods or
important human beings, as did the Hindus, Buddhists, Greeks and Romans.
The aura is generally recognised as having seven layers. The outer auric
layers are concerned with the soul and spirit while the inner layers relate to
the mind, emotions and health.
The aura is oval in shape and is made up of fibrous light surrounding the
whole of the physical body. To some, it is like a heat haze radiating all around
the person, shimmering with light and energy. It has every colour imaginable
including those that are beyond the visible spectrum and connects us to the
vibrations around us.
The colour vibration emitted from the physical and etheric bodies extends 3-4
inches around the body. See how that colour can describe your personality
and what your future may hold in store.

What Do The Colours Mean?

The colours surrounding your body might change several times a day. The
energy reflects how you feel and will change with your mood. For most
people, several different colours appear within their energy field at one time.
Aura photography is now in great demand. Everyone has energy around him
or her, and each aura is unique. Your colours can change according to major
life changes. A divorce, new job or baby can all alter your colours and show
you where there is particular stress involved.

How Do I Read An Aura?

Its quite simple. When you have found the person whose aura you want to
read, stand facing them, close your eyes and take several deep breaths.
When you feel ready to open your eyes again, stare at the person, making
sure you feel as though you are almost seeing straight through them. You will
then see the figure in front of you start to blur.

Then What?
One of the first colours youll probably see will be white. Soon after other
colours may start to appear in splodges. If you cant see them, imagine a
colour instead. The first colour to pop into your mind is more often than not
the colour of the subjects aura. Rub your hands together, and then place
them above the persons head. Slowly move your hands towards and away
from the head, and once you have linked with the aura you may feel a
sensation of tingling, heat or even coldness. With practice, you will learn how
to relate the sensations and colours you pick up to specific things going on in
someones life. Below is a basic list of what certain colours indicate.

Aura Colours What They Mean

White denotes purity, joy, innocence and healing powers
Purple denotes a strong spiritual character, wisdom, power, pride and a
sense of justice.
Blue shows someone is tranquil, creative and sensitive, with a gift for
healing.
Green hints at material wealth, but can also be a sign of emotional stress.
Yellow shows a happy spirit, with sharp intellect and a zest for life.

Brown a down-to-earth, grounded personality.

Did You Know?

Some children up to the age of 5 can see auras without being taught.
Scientists believe that its the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds our
bodies. Visible to those who are tuned in and through aura cameras, it looks
like layers of coloured clouds, one on top of the other. The appearance of
your aura suggests your personality and mood. Experts can also pinpoint any
stress or illness you may be experiencing.

Exercises
Mirror Watching
This is a technique used to practice reading your own aura. This can be more
helpful and valuable to you because you are not watching someone else who
could become restless and impatient. But at the same time, many people
have difficulty in being objective with themselves. This exercise should be
used to practice seeing the aura and not necessarily interpreting it.
Sit in front of a mirror. Place a small lamp, with a white shade, on a table to
the left or right of the mirror. Be sure the light does not reflect in the mirror or
is uncomfortable to your eyes. Begin by looking at your shoulder and neck
area in the mirror. Let your eyes go out of focus, as if you were looking
beyond your body's reflection. After some practice you should begin to see a

white glow or outline, about 1 to 2 inches wide, around the shoulder and neck.
This is your inner-aura.

Perceiving Colours
Now that you know what to look for, sit in front of your mirror as in Exercise 1.
Practices seeing the white inner aura once again, only this time, try to move
your focus to the outside line of the white glow.
As you practice, you will begin to see the white outline grow wider. However,
there should be a slight variation in the colour, off white as opposed to snow
white. As you watch the aura form, you will be able to see slight colour
emerge around the edges of the white aura. They maybe faint and cloudy at
first, but keep watching and practicing. This is the beginning layer of the
middle aura.

Perceiving Shapes
To perceive shapes in and around the aura, you need to be able to see the
entire aura. You should be able to look at all the sections and layers as if they
were one big ball of energy. Return to your mirror and lamp as in Exercise 1.
Find the white outline, move your vision out and practice seeing the colour
variations once more.
Each time you practice, try moving your focus up to your head. If you lose the
perception, begin again. You should be training your insight to focus on the
aura regardless of where your physical eyes are looking.
You should be able to move your vision around the entire body. Not just the
outlined area, but in front of your body as well. In other words, you should be
able to look at the stomach and perceive the energy that exists in front of the
body, not just the illumination on the sides.
Try looking from one shoulder to the other, following the line of energy around
the outside of the body. At this point don't try to go across the neck. In this
case a straight line may not be the best way to your destination. Try to keep
your perception as you move your vision past the ears, around the top of the
head and back down the other side to the opposite shoulder. When you can
move your eyes without losing the perception, try moving your sight to the
centre of your body. Look at your throat and upper chest area. If you have a
full-length mirror, move your eyesight down to your stomach and legs. You
should notice a variety of colours depending on the location you're looking at.
You may see a gentle shade of blue around your chest, but as you move your
sight down to your stomach, the blue begins to mould in with a light green.
The colour within that same layer may change again as you move your sight
to another part of your body. As you practice, the layers will grow wider and it
will take less time for you find the aura.

Distinguish Consistent Energy

This is maybe the most difficult exercise to conduct upon yourself, so an
alternative would be to practice with a friend or while you are in a meeting or
at a lecture. Focus on the speaker or the other people around the conference
table. If these options are not possible or you don't feel comfortable practicing
on someone else, go back to your mirror and lamp as in the previous
exercises.
Try to see the white outline, and then move your eyes farther out to perceive
the entire aura. Focus on the colour variations, the location and shape of the
energy. If you're reading someone else, continue to watch their aura as you
take notice of their emotional state. If they're laughing or happy, do you see
any sudden bursts of pink around the chest area? If they're stressed or upset,
do you see any spikes of brown or red?
Because inconsistent energy is not always present, it may be difficult to
practice this exercise. But you should try. Perceiving these energies will help
you know when you can or shouldn't deal with other people. So don't give up,
just practice.

Other Exercises
Plant Watching

Everything living has an aura, even plants. If you find it difficult to read your
own aura, practice on a tree or plant that won't be moving in a breeze. Sit in

front of a potted plant. Choose a spot near the top or at the base of the plant.
Let your eyes go out of focus. Look beyond the plant, as if you're focusing on
an object hanging from a branch or leaf. You should begin to see the white
inner-aura of the plant. Keep your focus on the white aura and try moving your
perception around to the opposite side of the plant. You might try placing a
small lamp behind the plant, to illuminate its leaves and branches. Set the
light behind the pot so you cannot see the bulb; make sure the lamp does not
hurt your eyes in anyway. This illumination can help trick your physical sight to
focus on the slight reflection of the light. As you stare at the reflection, you
may notice it grow wider and soon you'll realize that what you're looking at is a
colourful aura.
Now remember this is a plant, it may not have the colour variations that a
human or animal might have. But you should be able to see if the plant is
healthy or if it lacks nourishment or if it's beginning to develop other physical
problems.

Animal Watching

This technique can be difficult, especially if your pet does not want to sit still.
But it's a great exercise to practice your technique on an independent subject.
Choose a place around the head of the animal, and let your eyes go out of
focus. Use the same techniques you might use on yourself in the Mirror
exercise. Try moving your perception around the animals body and notice the
change in colour variations.

Quick Practice Ideas

Course providers for the Professional Holistic Therapist

www.lifestudys.com

The great thing about practicing aura reading is that you can do it anywhere.
These are just a few suggestions you may want to try. Simply use the same
techniques as previously discussed and open your inner eyes to all the
energy around you.
If you're attending a meeting or presentation at work, try focusing on the
speaker. You may notice sudden changes of colour in their inner aura. They
may feel more comfortable speaking about a particular area of their
presentation, but as they move into slightly unfamiliar territory, their aura will
reflect the drop in confidence. Everyone likes to stand or sit at the beach and
watch the waves roll into shore. Take a moment to watch the waves, focus on
the outline of the top of the water, or the white foam of the wave as it curves
over and crashed upon itself. The first time I tried this exercise, I was amazed
at the electricity my inner vision perceived. It was truly a beautiful sight. Hold
an object (a car key or a crystal) for 10 to 15 minutes. Visualize your energy
imprinting itself onto the object. Sit the object on a table and focus on the
energy residue you've left behind. The colour you see should match the
emotion you imprinted on the object.
