How to see your aura in the mirror

Seeing your aura in the mirror is no different than seeing someone else's aura or even working on the cross concentration exercise.

1. Sit in a room, where you have a plain white wall, a mirror, and low lighting.  You might be here a while, so preferably find a place where you won't be disturbed for a while.

2.  Dim the lights.  Lighting should be away from you - not directly in front of you where you will be staring at it.  Behind you works well, as does off to the side.  A small table lamp is good enough.  You want to be able to see, but using dim light will allow you to see your auric glow much easier.

3.  Sit at least 3 feet in front of the mirror.

4.  Choose a point in the middle of your forehead to stare at.  If you find it difficult to focus on one spot, you can draw a small dot in the center of your forehead, just above and between your eyes.  Use that to focus on just like you did in the focusing exercise.

5.  Using peripheral vision, stare at the point on your forehead.  It helps to unfocus your eyes.

6.  You will start to see a white glow around your head, shoulders, and body.  This is the first layer of your aura.

7.  Keep looking.  Eventually you will start to see fleck of color.  If you stay focused and hold the gaze, the flecks of color will begin to get bigger and take shape.  Don't be deterred if you start to feel like the colors in the room start to feel like they are enhanced, or if they feel a bit hazy.  This is part of the process.  It might take a while to start to see colors.  Keep practicing, you'll get it eventually.

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:

Practicing on Human Auras

As exciting as it is to stare at blue and red circles, obtaining a perfectly balanced cross is not the end goal.  The whole point of doing the exercises I talked about in my last post is to train your brain and your eyes to be able to see human auras.  That's the fun part - and it's fun to practice and track your progress on actual people.

Seeing Human Auras Exercise


Once you're comfortable using peripheral vision and have practiced the cross exercise a few times, you can start practicing on human subjects.  Of course, if you really want to get good at this, you'll still need to keep practicing the cross exercise, but you can also add human subjects as well.

Church is an excellent place to practice seeing auras because it sets up the perfect viewing conditions.  Beginners will need to stare at their subject for an extended period of time and it's easier to see the auric body on a plain white background.  Church automatically sets up these conditions:  you sit in pews staring at the minister who is at pulpit talking for an extended period of time, usually against a plain white background.  No one knows what you are doing, and neither you nor the minister has to feel self-conscious because you are expected to look at him, and everybody else is doing it too.

Stare directly at the minister (or priest, or speaker, or whoever your subject is), focusing on the center of his forehead.  Use the same type of peripheral vision you  used when looking at the black dot in the exercise I talked about in my 3/13/2010 post. After a while, you will start to see a glow around the person's head.  It may appear to be yellow, white, or even light green.

You are NOT seeing things.  You're eyes are NOT playing tricks on you.  You are seeing the person's aura.   This is the inner most layer of the aura and is the easiest to see.  Some people refer to it as the Ethereal body.

It's tempting to dismiss what you are seeing as your eyes playing tricks on you.  They are NOT.  You may even be tempted to think you are seeing an after image (an optical illusion where you see the reverse color of an image after staring at it too long).  Again, this is not the case.  An after image will disappear after a few seconds, this will not.  What you are seeing is the person's aura.

Human Aura vs. Auric Colors

Now, you have to be careful here, especially as a beginner.  It's important not to confuse the human aura for the auric color of the person's clothing.  This is why looking at the head is important because it is generally not covered.

Remember how you saw a different color coming from the blue and red circles in dot peripheral vision exercise?  Clothing will give off the same auric images.  So that you don't confuse the human aura with the auric colors of clothing, here is a list of auric pairs (originally published at: How to see and READ the AURA: Part 2):

red gives turquoise aura, turquoise gives red aura 
orange gives blue aura, blue gives orange aura 
yellow gives violet aura, violet gives yellow aura 
green gives pink aura, pink gives green aura  

If you see one of these combinations of colors, check to make sure you are not seeing the auric color of the person's clothings.

I experience these color pairs slightly different than described above (and you may too), but the general principle still applies.  One of the first times I began practicing this, I was in church and I saw two things.  First I saw a faint greenish aura appear around the minister's head.  Then I noticed that emanating from around his shoulders was a bright yellow aura that faded into the green.  This minister was wearing a blue sash on his robe and the yellow glow was the auric pair of the sash. With practice you will be able to discern the auric pair of clothing from actual aura.

Aura - Learn to see your Aura image with your own eyes

This is the first website I found that provides information and techniques on how to see auras. It's a great source of information on auras. Please don't get turned off by the stuff about the "Thiaoouba Prophecy" or "can the earth explode?" The site actually offers a wealth of information on auras and techniques and exercises so you can learn to see auras yourself - I've done them and they really work.

Aura Seeing Exercises

     1.  Peripheral Vision

The first skill you need to learn in order to see auras is how to use your peripheral vision.  Since auras are light, you need to train your eyes to see a wider spectrum of light.  Our eyes are more sensitive to light in the outer edges.  However we have been trained to focus in such a way that we only use the center of our eyes, which are less receptive to light.  Training yourself to use your peripheral vision will increase your eye's sensitivity to light and increase your ability to see auras.

This first exercise teaches you how to look when seeing auras.  Print out the image below and place it about a yard in front of you.  Stare at the black dot in the center of the image.  Do not look directly at the cyan or red circles.  You will begin to see two different colors appear around the circles - these are the auric colors.

     2.  Concentration Exercise - Cross

This  next exercise is designed to increase your eyes' sensitivity to light as well as improve communication between the right and left hemispheres of your brain.  Improving in these areas will help you see the human aura.

Print out the image below and stand about one yard away from it.  Hold your pointer finger up about 6-12 inches in front of your face and position it so that it is in the center of the circles.  Look just above your finger and attempt to make the two circles join together in the middle.  The goal is to get a perfectly balanced cross to appear.  If you are having trouble understanding what you are supposed to do, you will find a demo on the original website:  How to see and read the aura

My Experience

I have been practicing this exercise for four months now (since November '09) and it is great.  It really works.  Right away I was able to see the auric colors of bright solid objects.  The cross exercise is tricky and takes a lot of practice.  However, I find it to be relaxing and find that 15 minutes of concentration can go by in an instant.  At first it was difficult, if not impossible to get the cross to appear.  For the first three months, the best I could do was get a wavering cross - I'd see the cross and then I'd see four circles, then I'd get a cross and then it'd be back to four circles.  It takes a lot of concentration to get the cross to appear.

Now, I am at the point where I see the three circles, but one circle appears to be "in front" of the other one.  I need to concentrate hard to make them switch positions or to get the cross to appear.  But it's coming and with practice I imagine I'll be able to see the cross for a long period of time.  Five minutes of seeing a steady, unwavering and balanced cross is the goal.  I'm not there yet, but I am working on it.

After you've been practicing for a while, you'll see the auric colors around the blue and red circles too.  As your concentrating on the getting the cross, notice what you can see in your peripheral vision.  Eventually, you'll eyes will become much more sensitive to light as you train the two hemisphere's of your brain to communicate.  This is where I am now.  I have the image propped up against a bookshelf and the books appear much more vivid when I am concentrating on the cross than they normally do.
