Seeing Auras, 6 Tips to Access the Gift!

Seeing auras can be just plain frustrating or simple and easy! I know. I tried over and over, with no luck. One evening, husband, Charles and I were at a presentation by Montel Williams. We were sitting back about 7-8 rows. When he came in, he did not go on the stage but stood in front of the audience in a more personal fashion. We were kind of laid back and just observing. He stood still for a moment, and with the backdrop of the curtains, I saw energy emanating from all around him! I grabbed Charles’ arm and almost yelled out, “I can see his aura!” From that moment on, I can see them whenever I want to. Let’s talk about how emotions affect the aura, the chakra system and the 6 Tips to Access the Gift.

Emotions and Auras

The special energy field around the body contains everything we think and experience. Those who see or feel the aura can sense your feelings. You walk around like an open book. Your emotions, likes and dislikes, and all your thoughts are right there around you for anyone to see or feel.

If you stop and think about it a minute, you might change your thinking. Everyone has thoughts about people and situations. We consider those thoughts private, or even secret. But in truth, there are no private thoughts. It is all right there, exposed in your aura.

Going a step further, the saying “thoughts are things” is proven by the aura. Each thought you have vibrates at a certain frequency.

The aura around you is vibrating at a certain rate because of the thoughts you have at the moment. The more you think a certain thought (say, “Today’s Monday, I never feel good on Mondays”), you bring that feeling into your environment. Until sooner or later, it manifests in the physical, and you really don’t feel good.

When I am consulting for a client, I am working with these vibrational fields. That is what I sense around them. If the situation is not already happening, I know it will be within the next two weeks. This is the amount of time I can sense within their auric field. They are actually pulling the situation into their lives.

If we were spirit alone, the perfect manifestation of Creator Source, our aura would be a clear sparkling glow. But because we are spirits of the divine essence, experiencing human form in this earthly realm, we must constantly strive for perfection. As a result, our auras are multicolored, as we learn our lessons from day to day.

The Aura and Chakra Systems

When studying energy and vibrations, it is important to understand the aura and chakra systems. When you are unfolding your spiritual gifts, it is necessary to know how vibrations influence the energy field around a client.

A human is a three-fold being: body, mind, spirit. Within the being are many subtler areas. There are aspects of the human that do not appear as obvious as the physical or mental. But we still deal with them on a regular basis.

The physical body is animated through the chakra system. In major schools of thought, and for introductory purposes, there are seven chakras for the human body. Some cultures have different ideas on this, but generally it is accepted that there are seven.

The seven chakras correspond to physical parts of the body. But chakras also deal with how we express ourselves: how we feel, think and act. Chakras manage our physical wellness and connect us with our divine selves.

The word chakra means “wheel of light” in Sanskrit. Each of the seven wheels is an energy vortex or center and helps animate life to function as a physical being. Our spirit must have a physical vehicle to maneuver in the third dimension.

These energy centers are other “bodies” that help us gain awareness of things around us. Each center is represented by a color. These colors make up the aura, or auric field. Life-giving energy emanates outward from the physical body and is seen as different colors.

“She’s green with envy.”

“I’m so angry, I can see red.”

“It’s blue Monday.”

“…purple mountains majesty.”

All these colors denote feelings. Where did the phrases and color companions come from? They came from the aura. The aura is an electro-magnetic field surrounding the physical body. There are also auras around plants, animals and inanimate objects. The aura is an extension of spirit, manifested as part of the body.

As we perceive life and experience feelings, the aura expresses itself around us as different colors. The colors are merely light vibrating at different rates.

If you were angry with someone, an intuitive person could feel or perceive those anger vibrations around you. In the same manner, a person who can see or read the aura may see anger colors (perhaps red, since anger quite often comes from the baser instincts) around you.

How to See Auras

1. Pretending and Imagination (see video above)

2. Softening and Squinting: Some suggest softening and slightly squinting your eyes and looking in a mirror or at a person, allowing your peripheral vision to pick up colors or light.

3. Focusing on Peripheral Vision: Instead of focusing directly on the person or object, try to focus on the space around them, allowing your peripheral vision to pick up any subtle colors or changes.

4. Practicing with Hands: Some people claim to sense auras by focusing on the space between their hands or the palms of their hands.

5. Aura Photography: While not a direct method of seeing auras, aura cameras are used to capture images that some people believe represent an individual's energy field.

6. On Another Person: Have the person stand about 10 feet away from you. Use natural light with a plain background. Draw you attention to the person’s nose. Don’t look at it too hard. Just keep your vision soft and light. Your natural vision works in a circular manner. So, while you are looking directly at the nose, your peripheral vision is also seeing the body and area around the body.
