What is an Aura?

The human aura is an energy field that reflects the subtle life energies within the body.
These energies make us what we are and in turn are affected by our surroundings and life style.
The aura reflects our health, mental activity and emotional state.
It also shows disease - often long before the onset of symptoms.
Close to the skin is the etheric aura. It is seen as a pale, narrow band that outlines the body, usually no more than half an inch wide.
It looks like pale smoke clinging to the body.
This is the visible part of the etheric body in it's contracted state.
During sleep the etheric body expands greatly and opens to absorb and store cosmic energy.
The etheric is better named the vitality sheath or energy body.
After sleep it contracts, forming a dense sheath around the body close to the skin.

The main aura is banded around the body - strata like.
Imagine a person with thick, coloured hoops of light dropped over them and you get the idea.
These colours emanate from the chakras.
Basic energy is drawn up from the planet through the feet and fed into the chakras, much like a plant does with water.
Each chakra is a transformer that generates energy of a different type and colour.
The strength of each chakra depends on the person's nature and life style.
Together these chakras generate the dominant hue of the aura.

The main aura is photo-sensitive, it reacts and expands in light.
The aura's chakra system can be likened to a tree.
Energy/nutrient is drawn up through the feet/roots and fed through the body/trunk to the chakras/leaves.

To See Auras:
Get a partner or stand in front of a mirror. The background (wall, etc) should be blank and preferably white. Rooms that aren't too bright usually seem to work better. Have the subject (or yourself) stand approximately 18 inches from the wall.
To see the aura, look at the wall behind the person and a couple inches away from their body. Remember the 3-D stereogram pictures that were popular a few years ago, where the trick was to look a few inches into the "noise" to see the 3-D image? The trick to seeing auras uses the same concept. Look beyond where the person is standing. Ignore the person's body; if you look at them you'll lose the aura image. You should see an area around the person where the background wall may look lighter than the rest. If you can, try to see the color. If you had to pick any color (besides white) to describe this area, what would it be? Also, different areas of a person's aura may be different colors. The color you pick for one area may be different than another area.
Once you think you see it, have them sway from side to side. The energy field you see should move with their movement. An after-image would not move with the person, it would only move as your own eyes moved. Also, after-images are the exact opposite color of what you were looking at; auras may be any color.
