The Art of Aura Gazing

The aura is the electromagnetic energy field that emanates from all living things, it is 'The Light of the Soul' This light comes from our Chakras, the spiritual centers within our body. The aura colors and patterns within this energy field constitute a kind of blueprint of a person’s soul, a chart of the individual's potential. Aura is kind of luminous egg-shaped cloud of pulsing energy that surrounds the human body. It extends out from the body about six feet in all directions. It is made up of layers of colored light that travel in patterns around the body. Depending upon our health and our mood the size and color of the aura can change.

The more in touch we are with our own unique talents and skills, the richer, more luminous the colors in our aura will be. The colors of individuals who are emotionally withdrawn or have given up on life tend to fade into thin pastel washes. Good physical, mental, and emotional health is seen in clear, bright colors. Depression, anger, and self-pity tend to muddy the aura colors. The aura is multidimensional. In addition to the molecules of colored light, the aura also has size. Some people's auras are large and full of information while others' are thin, indicating lives that are spiritually, mentally, and emotionally undernourished.

The aura identifies areas of the body where an individual holds stress. A thick aura indicates the ability to search within oneself for information with which to solve problems. The aura also emits patterns, which are determined by the direction in which the molecules of light flow. These flow patterns indicate the general attitude an individual has toward life. An active pattern means that a person is engaging life in a healthy way. The aura is used in spiritual healing to identify and cure problems within the physical body.

The Auric Fields

It is generally believed that the human aura has seven major levels. The physical and etheric levels extend about six inches to a foot from the physical body. The emotional auric levels extend about two feet from the body and incorporate the physical and etheric levels. The mental and spiritual auras extent approximately three feet from the body and incorporate the other levels.

Auric Body / Physical Plane

Layer 1 Physical Body (Lower Etheric Aspect)

The first auric layer is the Etheric Body associated with physical aspects and awareness of the material body and is related to the First (Root) Chakra. It is on the next higher vibrational level to the physical body which has the lowest vibrational level. It bridges the connection of the material body to the higher bodies. The etheric body is an energy matrix and the form is shaped and anchored to the physical matter of the material body. The etheric body extends only a quarter of an inch up to one inch outside the skin of the physical body. The etheric body is invisible to most people, while some can see it as a faint grayish-white color outlining the physical body.

Layer 2 Emotional Body (Lower Emotional Aspect)

The second auric layer is the Emotional Body associated with the vibrational level of inner feelings and related to the Second (Sacral Plexus) Chakra. It extends three inches around from the physical body. This body or auric layer and all higher layers are perceived by the third eye.

Layer 6 - Celestial Body (Emotional Aspect)

The sixth auric layer is the Celestial Body associated with processes of enlightenment and related to the Sixth (Brow or Third Eye) Chakra.

It extends two feet up to two and three and a quarter feet around from the physical body.

Layer 7 Ketheric or Causal Body (Mental Aspect)

The seventh layer is the Ketheric or Causal Body associated with the Divine or Universal Consciousness and is related to the Seventh (Crown) Chakra. The causal body contains the life plan or "soul contract" and reflects all experiences and events that the soul has ever experienced and is the level directly related to the current incarnation. The ketheric body is the purest form and link to God/dess, within each of us. This layer is on a level that cannot be experienced from the limiting viewpoint of ego. It extends two feet up to three and one half feet in an oval shape around the physical body.

It takes some practice to be able to see auras all the time but with practice it can happen.

This exercise is designed to see Aura for the first time and/or practice seeing Auras. Choosing good conditions is important: not only you see the Aura better, but also to gain a confidence about what you see.

1. Situate the person in front of a very softly illuminated PLAIN WHITE background. A color background will change Aura colors, so you need additional knowledge about combining colors. Some combinations of background and Aura colors may cause misinterpretation problems.
2. Choose ONE SPOT to look at. The middle of the forehead is VERY GOOD. This is a location of so called Brow Chakra or the Third Eye. In some cultures (India) they put a mark on a forehead. Such a mark in ancient times could mean the invitation to look and see the Aura.
3. Look at this spot for 30 to 60 seconds or longer
4. After 30 seconds analyze surroundings with your peripheral vision, while still looking at the same spot. Continuing the concentration is most important. Resist temptation to look around. You should see that the background nearby the person is brighter and has a DIFFERENT color than the background further away. This is your own perception of the Aura. The longer you concentrate, the better you will see it. Remember, concentration on one spot increases your sensitivity by accumulating the effect of the Aura vibration reaching your eyes.
