How to see your aura on your hand

Here is another exercise you can do to see your aura that anyone can do fairly easily.

1.  Stand near a dark colored background, like the ground, a wall, or some sort of covering.

2.  Place your hand in front of you, so that it is over the background, but not touching it.

3.  Look at your hand with unfocused, soft vision.

4.  You will start to see a clear, whitish glow around your hand.  This is the first layer of your aura.

I found these photoshop reproductions of what you will see, in case you are having difficulty, or don't trust what you are seeing:

This is just the background, no auric image:

Here you start to see the clear, whitish glow:

Food for thought

Many people are skeptical about auras.  Others know for sure they don't exist because they say you can't see them or because they aren't proven scientifically.  The same is true for other human experiences - psychic abilities, telepathy, and paranormal experiences as some people call them.

I find it interesting that in this society the only things that are deemed credible are those that can be measured with an instrument - a human-made instrument to boot.  Why is it that we trust these  machines, these instruments more than we trust ourselves, more than we trust our own potential, our own humanity?  Could it be that there are aspects of the Universe that actually do exist that we can't measure using an instrument?  And if so, why are these experiences less credible?  Why do so many people doubt psychic abilities?  Why aren't we taught as children to develop these potentials?  Why does everything revolve around what can be measured by a man-made instrument?

The first time I saw another person's aura

Now for the last  milestone I achieved before I started writing this blog - the first time I saw another person's color.  Auras still have an elusive quality to me.  One where I want to hold onto the sight, but as soon as I try, I can't.  I remember the memory, but have trouble remembering the experience.  I have to remember to trust myself because as soon as I can't see the color anymore, I have a tendency to want to think I imagined it... even though I know I didn't.

It was at an alumni gathering for my grandfather's alma mater (and the school I'm attending in the fall).  We started out with some entertainment by two music students, an opera singer and pianist.  I concentrated on their auras while they performed, and had my usual results - I could see the glowing halo around their heads, but nothing else.

Then the president of the university came up to speak.  I focused on him just like I focus on the pastors at church, just like I focus on myself in the mirror, and just like I do with the cross exercise.  I began to see the outline glow and then all at once, I saw a big halo of color surrounding him.  It radiated out about two feet on all sides of him.

I remember remembering the color, but I don't remember what it was.  I remember that it was the same as mine, but if you were to ask me to reach back into my memory and see the color now, I couldn't do it.  I didn't have "ideal" conditions, which is one reason I tend to not trust myself.  The background was a dark colored and patterned wallpaper - not plain white.  So I don't trust myself that I saw the right color.  But at the time I just knew.

It's hard to shake the elusiveness... but it's a start.  It's the first time I saw someone else's color.  I suppose it's just a matter of practicing more.

Pamala Oslie on "iyanla"

This is a video I found on YouTube with Pamala Oslie, author of Life Colors.  She's on a the Iyanla show talking about her book.  It's only an eight minute segment, so she doesn't go into much detail or depth.  On the show they are separated into 5 groups based on their colors, but Pam says she can actually see 14 different colors.  I suppose they had to cut it down to the most basic information for the sake of time.  Anyway, it's interesting nonetheless, and I thought you might enjoy it.
