TRAINING TO SEE AURAS V4 Part 5

21. Spirit Energy:

There is always a lot of spirit energy and activity,
surrounding a dying person, in the days and weeks prior to
their death. The amount of this spirit activity seems to
depend greatly upon their belief system, as well as their
moral, spiritual and psychic development.

The strongest I have ever felt this - high level spirit energy
and activity - is around dying children. Children seem to be
a lot more aware of their spirituality than adults give them
credit for. We, adults, seem to lose so much of this
awareness - of our spiritual and divine nature - as we grow
older.

I have been in the presence of many dying children. The only
way I can describe this is that, at these special times, I
have been in a holy presence - far beyond my poor
understanding of reality. Children gain a special kind of
wisdom and a high level of spiritual understanding - and
they have no fear of death.

Accidents:

I have never had the opportunity to observe the
aura of someone dying, shortly after an accident, so cannot
comment on this aspect of death.

Premature death:

I have, though, known healthy, vital people,
that have died suddenly, from strokes, heart attacks and brain
aneurisms. I have observed them, in the days and weeks prior
to their premature deaths. I have noted similar changes, as I
might expect to see in a dying person: very milky-pale-blue
expanded auras, silver and white sparks, and lots of spirit
energy and activity around them. These people, though, were
not sick. They were all, healthy, vital people, but there
was something quite different about them - an indefinable
atmosphere. In all cases, they seemed to know, intuitively
(but not consciously) that their time in this world was nearly
up. They all did certain things, tidied up their affairs, or
made things right in some way, in the days and weeks prior to
their death.


22. Why Most People Fail To See Auras:

The most common reason why people fail to see an 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 very long time, while you struggle and 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? Are they
getting impatient? Do they think you foolish, a failure, or
both? This kind of pressure causes subtle tensions to
build up within you, that effectively negate the relaxed
state needed to see the aura. Trying to get results, under
this kind of pressure, as a beginner, is next to impossible.

Here is an email letter from a young man. It shows some
common misunderstandings, when auras are first encountered:

David: "I was sitting in economics class, when I started
to see a faint white glow around the lecturer's head
(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.
I kept looking, and a bright yellow glow appeared around
his head. Then I started to see a similar white glow
coming from some of the computer monitors, that sit on
the desks. At first, I was hoping that I could see
auras, but then when I saw it on the monitors,
I had my doubts."

Me: 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 bored, tired, very relaxed,
maybe day dreaming a little. Your eyes were tired,
heavy, and you were having trouble keeping them open?
These are the PERFECT conditions for seeing an aura!

David: "That's exactly how It was! The discussion sort of
went off topic and wasn't all that interesting to me."

"Anyway, I was wondering if you can tell me if
I actually did see their auras. I tried staring at
myself in the mirror to see my aura, when I got home, and
tried to see a friends aura, but it didn't work. I
haven't been able to see an aura, 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 the aura was brighter
around their heads?"

Me: You did see the aura! The colours given off by non-
living objects vary with the colour of the object, but
inanimate objects, generally, have a simple pale, creamy
aura surrounding them. The aura you saw, surrounding the
heads of the people around you, was their etheric aura -
which is a pale, creamy colour, usually with a pale blue
tint to it.

The human aura is brighter around the head area, for two
reasons:

1. Clothing blocks the aura.

2. The head area is usually bare (no clothing to block it)
and is where the yellow of the intellect is most active,
which is quite easy to see. This yellow varies in
intensity, according to the degree of mental activity going
on at the time the aura is seen. This, mental activity,
brightens the aura in the head area. Maybe the student you
observed was really on the ball that day?

The main point of showing you this letter is: David began to
see the aura, with no trouble at all, when he was tired and
not trying to see it. He was tired, bored and day dreaming
(a very relaxed state). David was struggling to stay awake
and forcing his eyes to stay open. This _forcing_ his eyes to
stay open, creates a strong mental opening action, at the site
of the brow centre - between the eyes. This stimulates the
brow centre and combined with a relaxed, un-focussed gaze,
causes spontaneous auric sight to occur.

When David tried to see an aura, later at home, he could not -
because he was wide awake and trying, and was no longer in a
relaxed enough state for auric sight to work.

Keep this, above, in mind - when you first attempt to use
auric sight!


23. How To See An Aura: (basic technique)

To see the aura, you have to be able to relax and
concentrate, at the same time, and there is a trick to
focusing your eyes in a special way.

* An aura must be gazed upon - not looked at *

Light:

First, you need plenty of good, soft light to train in, not
dim, but good soft light. It is very important not to have
any strong light shining or reflecting into your eyes. It is
best to have light coming from behind and above you. If you
have, say a window, flooding light into the room, in your
field of view, while trying to see an aura, it will distract
you and make an aura much more difficult to see. A hundred
watt bulb, coming from above and behind you, is fine.

Step 1:

Get a book and cover it in bright, primary blue or red
paper. Stand it upright, on a table, six or seven feet from
you (about 2 metres). Experiment with the distance until you
find what is just right for you, but the minimum distance
should be no less than 4 feet (1.2 meters). Make sure you
have a plain, fairly neutral background. Do not view it
against a brightly coloured wall, or garish wallpaper. If
the wall colour is wrong, hang a sheet of neutral coloured
paper or cloth on the wall, as a backdrop. A bed sheet, or
some sheets of butchers paper, taped to the wall, will do
fine.

Notes:

A.The book is only a prop for the coloured paper, i.e., it
is the aura of the coloured paper you are going to look at
- not the aura of the book. Using a brick, covered in
coloured paper, would give the same result as would hanging
a piece of coloured paper on the wall.

B.The auras of the colours blue and red are, by far, the
brightest and easiest to see.

C.The brightness and tone of a colour's aura varies with
the shade and tone of the colour used, so use bright
primary colours only.

D.You can use any brightly coloured item for this: clothing,
kitchen canisters, toys, or even tape squares of coloured
paper directly to a wall.

Step 2:

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you
are calm, look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing,
a little to the side and just past it. This is as if you
were gazing at, but not focusing on, the wall behind it.

The whole idea is to totally relax the focus of your eyes and
view the subject with your peripheral, or side vision. By
side vision, I mean just to the side of your normal focused
area of sight (a couple of inches only) not out of the corner
of your eye.

Gently hold that gaze and relax your eyes. Get used to that
relaxed focus and try not to strain or tense your eyes or
forehead while doing it. Concentrate! You need an
intense, but very relaxed and steady gaze, similar to day-
dreaming.

Blinking:

When you need to blink, do so, or it will cause your eyes
to tense, burn and water. Blink normally and without changing
focus, and DO NOT become preoccupied with it. Blinking
will cause the aura you are viewing to disappear - for a
second or two only - but it will reappear quickly - if you
stay calm and hold a relaxed focus. Learning to hold your
focus, while blinking normally, is an important part of
learning to use auric sight.

Brow centre opening technique:

It is necessary to use some type of brow centre opening
exercise, in order to stimulate your brow centre into a
receptive mode. This allows you to receive the energy
surrounding your subject - as auric sight. It is possible to
see the aura of colour without doing this, but it is very
difficult to see a living aura, without first stimulating and
opening your brow centre.

*** Please pay _very_ close attention to what follows! ***

Remember what it is like to be very, very tired - totally
exhausted? Remember what it feels like when you haven't slept
for days, and can hardly keep your eyes open?

Remember what it feels like when your eyes keep trying to
close on you? Remember what it is like to have to wrestle
with your eyes to keep them open?

This causes a sensation, if you observe yourself closely, much
like you are trying to lift a heavy, shadowy veil, from behind
your eyes. When this happens, the muscles of your eyes are
not responding very well, so the action becomes almost
entirely mental.

Stop for a moment and remember what this feels like.

Wrestling to open tired eyes causes a strong mental opening
action, at the site of the brow centre - thereby stimulating
it.

How this works:

This mental opening action, focuses your bodily awareness at
the site of your brow centre.

When your bodily awareness is focussed at one area of your
body, and you manipulate that area with your mind, you
stimulate your energy body in that area - in a dynamic way.

If this mental opening action is continued for long enough,
and put enough mental effort into it, your brow centre (your
third eye) will begin to open.

If you carry out this mental opening action, when you are
relaxed, and have a subject in your field of view - and you
are not looking directly at your subject - spontaneous auric
sight will occur.

The mental opening action given here is similar, only _much_
stronger and more effective than the normal, visualisation
based, chakra opening techniques; taught by most other
teachers of psychic development and energy work.
Visualisation based energy work, on it's own, is weak and
obtuse and very difficult to learn and use.
