` YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CLAIRVOYANT TO SEE AURAS! '

Robert Bruce

This article is in response to the many questions I have received concerning

Auras. What they are, their significance, and how to see them. I have

included a new training method that is so easy, anyone can learn to see auras

in a very short time.

My new training method is based on a discovery I made several years ago. This

is - all colours have a uniquely coloured aura of their own - that are of a

totally different colour. These auras are denser and far easier to see than

any other type of aura. Using this, I have designed a simple, graduated

training method that really works. It has most people seeing auras the first

time they try it!

I have been able to see auras ( energy fields ) for many years. I was not born

with this ability but taught myself the old fashioned way. It took me several

years! I developed this new method to help beginners overcome the problems

everyone encounters.

` WHAT IS AN AURA? '

The human aura is both an energy field and a reflection of 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,

character, 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 a pale, narrow band

that outlines the body and is usually no more than half an inch wide. It looks

like milky smoke clinging to the body.

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 psychic centres

(or 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, activity and colour tone of each chakra, depends on the person's

character, personality, emotional state and life style. Together they generate

the dominant hue of the aura.

The aura is photo-sensitive and expands to many times its normal size in

sunlight. The aura 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. The aura also absorbs energy from other energy sources around

us, like sunlight and ozone, plants and other people.

Many authors have suggested people can be classified by the colour of their

aura. For example, blue means a highly spiritual person, trustworthy, honest,

etc... Orange means an emotional type of person etc... I have found this to

be very misleading. The aura is such a complex and changeable engine, it

simply cannot be judged by its basic hue alone.

The aura is sensitive to colour. It reacts to the colours of clothing and that

of our surroundings, ie. wall colours. This explains why people have strong

preferences in colour. For example: If you like Pink or Red, it means you have

an active heart centre that is giving off lots of Green. Red and Pink give off

different types of green that are in harmony with that aura.

Colours are widely used in hospitals and institutions to calm agitated people

and put them at ease. Pink is the most calming colour for this. It is the

emotional colour of love and happiness. Watch a mother's aura when she first

looks into the eyes of her new baby, and falls head over heels in love. At

that special, joyous moment when they bond for life, you will see this most

lovely of auras, in all it's glory.

There is a whole science devoted to the use of colours. This is called Colour

Healing or Colour Therapy.

It is impossible to get a clear view of the aura through clothing. The auric

colours of the clothes react with the persons aura, causing interference that

blocks and changes the aura. For example: A Blue shirt will flood the natural

aura with Yellow. Even neutral coloured clothes will dim the aura making it

difficult to see.

Disease: This shows up in the aura in many different ways, sometimes days or

weeks before any physical symptoms. An ear infection, for example, will show

up as a shadow over the ear before any symptoms appear. This shadow will

gradually change into a murky, khaki green. As the infection takes hold, it

will become shot through with red and orange flecks. Khaki and murky green

with red and orange flecks, is common to infection.

Death: When a person is dying the aura changes dramatically. I have observed

the auras of people with terminal cancer during the few weeks prior to death.

First the aura fades and weakens, and then, a week or so before death it starts

to expand, changing into a beautiful pale Sky-blue aura shot through with

Silver sparks.

` WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO SEE THE AURA '

The reason most people fail to see the aura is simply the way they go about it.

The human aura is not a good training ground for the beginner. This is what

usually happens: Your volunteer sits and waits, for a long time, while you

strain for a glimpse of their aura. You are trying to relax and concentrate

and master a tricky visual technique, all at the same time. You subconsciously

worry about what they are thinking of you. Are they getting bored or

impatient? Do they think you foolish, a failure, or both? The tension caused

by this pressure negates the subtle energy and calm mental state needed to see

the aura. Trying to get results, under this kind of pressure, as a beginner,

is next to impossible.

Email letters from a young man. It shows a common problem encountered when

trying to see the aura:

>>David:> "I was sitting in Economics class when I

started to see a faint white glow (not really though,

I can't really describe it), it was surrounding the

sides of his head. And I could also see a similar one

coming from one of the students sitting in front of

him, except the student's had a sort of bluish tinge to

it. Then I started to see the same thing coming from

some of the computer monitors that sit on the desk.

At first, I was hoping that I could see auras but then

when I saw it on the monitors, I had my doubts."

MY ANSWER:>> Every living, and non living thing has an aura, including

monitors. The reason you saw them when you did is

{let me guess} You were very relaxed, maybe day dreaming a little.

Your eyes were tired, relaxed, and these are the PERFECT conditions

for seeing the aura.

>>DAVID:> "That's exactly how I was. The discussion

sort of went off topic and wasn't all that interesting

to me."

>>DAVID:> "Anyway, I was wondering if you can tell me if

I actually did see their aura. I tried staring at

myself in the mirror to see my aura but it didn't

work and I haven't been able to see their auras since

that day a week or two ago. As for some of my

questions. I was wondering what colours non-living

objects give off(is it white?), how come it was

brighter on their heads?"

MY ANSWER:>> You did see the aura! The colours given off by non living

objects vary with the colour of the object. The

human aura is brighter around the head area for two

reasons: 1. Clothing blocks the aura. 2. The head area is usually

bare and is where the YELLOW of intellect is

most active. This yellow varies in intensity

according to mental activity, maybe the student you

observed was really on the ball that day.

` HOW TO SEE THE AURA '

To see the aura you have to be able to relax and concentrate, at the same time.

There is a trick to focusing the eyes in a special way that activates the

forehead chakra (or The Third Eye.)

1. You need soft light to train in, not dim, but good soft light. No harsh

light or a reflection of it must be shining in your eyes! Get a book and cover

it in blue or red crepe paper. Stand the book upright on a table several feet

from you. Make sure you have a neutral background, light tan, soft grey, off

white or even a black board is good. If the wall colour is wrong, hang a sheet

of neutral coloured paper or cloth on it.

Note: The auras of the colours Blue and Red are the brightest and easiest to

see. Blue has a Yellow aura and Red has a Green aura. The brightness and tone

of the colour varies with the shade of colour used.

2. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are calm,

look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, just a little to the side and a

foot or two behind it. Hold and get used to that focus but don't strain your

eyes or tense your forehead. Concentrate! you need a gentle, steady un-focus,

just like day-dreaming. It is crucial your eyes are really relaxed and dreamy

while you hold the un-focus.

After a while you will see a pale milky aura coming from the object. Keep

looking steadily at it and a bright yellow or green aura will start building up

from the object. Don't change focus and look directly at it or the aura will

disappear. If you have trouble seeing the aura again after the first attempt,

have a rest. This is a common problem and just means your eyes are tired.

Once you have done this and seen your first aura, you have taken the first step

into a much larger world.

There is a reason for the strange un-focus. It has to do with the rods and

cones in the human eye. The outer field of vision is many times more sensitive

to movement and subtle energy fields than the focused area is. Have you ever

seen a movement, out of the corner of your eye, only to turn and see nothing

there? What you have probably seen is an aura building up from some coloured

object and your eyes have detected the movement.

3. Once you have completed the first exercise, gather several books and cover

them with crepe paper, one each of the basic colours. Study these one at a

time and write down the auric colour for it. Next try using two at a time, and

see how the colours affect each other, write it down.

4. Get a pot plant and/or a bunch of fresh flowers and study their aura. The

auric colours you see will emanate from the `colours' of the petals. The

Orange hue comes from the green of the stems and leaves. You will also see a

more distinct etheric and a shimmering optical effect around them. This

shimmering is the life force of the plants.

5. For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc, if you can. Try and

observe them when they are resting.

6. Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in the

full sun. Hold your arm out and study it against the sky. Alternatively, lie

down and look at your legs. Make sure the skin is bare when you do this, and

remember, grass will give an orange hue to your aura.

Keep a record of all your experiments! When you feel you are proficient enough

you can try it with a person. Just remember to keep calm and don't try too

hard. Do the same as in the original training exercise. When you try it on a

person though, get them to remove some of their clothing and study the bare

skin area, with this area highlighted against a neutral background.

7. On a human the first thing you will see is the etheric, like pale smoke

clinging to the skin. Next you will see a shimmering optical effect in the air

extending maybe several inches, depending on the strength of the person's aura.

Keep trying and colour will build up from the etheric, this is the aura. With

practise you will be able to see more and more of it. The coloured part of the

human aura can vary from a few inches to a couple of feet wide.

8. The brightness of a person's aura has a lot to do with how they feel. If

they feel happy and full of life their aura is stronger and easier to see. Try

getting them to wear headphones and listen to their favourite music, this will

help energize their aura. Try it again with them listening to something they

can't stand and observe the difference in their aura.

9. Try it outside in the open. Make sure the sun is behind you and use the

sky, a house or a hill as a backdrop and observe the expanded aura of your

volunteer.

There will be times when you will see auras easily, and there will be times

when you really have to concentrate. There may even be times when you may fail

to see it. This sporadic ability will level out as the forehead chakra

stabilizes.

Note: The basic auras of colours are as follows: Blue = Yellow aura, Red =

Green aura, Green = Orange aura, Yellow = Pale Blue aura,

Orange = Pale Green aura, Violet = Pale Gold aura, Indigo = Gold aura, Pink =

Iridescent Green. These colours will vary slightly according to the shade and

tone of the colours you use. I will not even try to cover iridescent colours

here.

Email letter: Peter, who used my new method with good results...

>>PETER:> Hi: "Thank you for the reply . I have tried

your suggestions, and I have some results and some questions. First

the results. I set up a bright blue coffee cup against a light tan

wall as a background.

As you suggested, I sat and focused about two feet

behind the cup and to the side. Soon a bright haze

began to form around the cup. Then it began to take on

a yellow tint. As I looked away, I closed my eyes and

I could see the whole picture of that side of the room

in color. I did not find that unusual, because I have always been

able to focus on a scene and form the

negative color image of that scene. It appears that

the blue cup and the yellow aura are the compliments of

one another. I then took a bright red cup and tried

the same thing. This time I got a light blue aura,

which seems to be the negative image of that color. Is

this a physical phenomena of the eye, and am I going

off on the wrong track? I have heard of people who can

see the auras all of the time? Is that going to be possible?

Thanks PETER"

MY ANSWER:>>It is a physical phenomenon of the eyes,

some people call it clairvoyance! You are definitely

on the right track, keep it up. Yes, some people can

see the aura all the time. I can if I choose to. But

it is not very nice watching auras all the time, I

rarely do that and it can be very tiring. Besides,

it's uncomfortable knowing how people are feeling all

the time, whether they are lying to you or not etc. It

is also very difficult to function in this world if you

are focused on people's auras all the time. You find you

have a tendency to bump into things and fall down holes!...

I have taught many people to see the aura using this method. The fast results

build confidence and keep interest high. This ensures enough work and effort

is put in to get the desired results... seeing the human aura.

If you succeed in ANY of these exercises, you can, by definition, call yourself

a clairvoyant - which simply means `to see clearly'.

"OLD WISDOM"

A man may read, a man may learn,

Discourse and eulogize,

Gathering knowledge, deep, profound,

Discuss and theorize.

But knowledge useless

Turns to dust,

And wasted be the teaching,

Lest he learns old Wisdom's way,

Of practising the preaching...
