Metaphysics: Aura

2005-01-04 [DancingElf]: in your previous comment you mentioned something about changing your apperance, am i right in assuming that your talking about your auras apperance

2005-01-04 [DanClark]: to an extent; in shamanism, it is possible to change your features through visualisation. (although I have been unable to, the theory behind it is sound)

2005-01-04 [DancingElf]: it would take lot of energy and mental discipline to change your apperance, what sort of changes could be make?

2005-01-04 [DanClark]: Yes, it would. However the thing that is most difficult is the belief that it is possible. If you doubt you can do it, then it will never come to pass. But don't take this as saying that the doubt in yourself is the reason, but more that the doubt locks the energy to you. Without the ability to release the energy to take effect, the desired result will never be achieved.

2005-01-04 [DanClark]: but this falls more under 'spells' and the like, not really dealing with auras.

2005-01-07 [DancingElf]: yeah i supose, but that could be said about all things, and doubt is a hard thing to oversome, i wouldn't have thought that it fell under spells though...

2005-01-07 [DanClark]: Well, for me 'spells' are things that expend energy to modify or alter a current path to achieve a desired result. Spells are simply foci for the redirection and release of energy, a kind of mental conditioning. if the component, or wording is the 'source', then the energy is released automatically.

2005-01-13 [DancingElf]: but the same could be said about anything you focus on...

2005-01-13 [DanClark]: exactly. Spells are not just for outer change, any manipulation of energy could constitute a spell.

2005-01-14 [DancingElf]: Above you mention healing, do you mean yourself or others

2005-01-14 [DanClark]: both. It's easier to heal yourself, but if other allow you to modify their auras, you can heal others as well

2005-01-26 [DancingElf]: but if a person is ill wont that make it much harder, and sometimes even impossible to see the aura, how can you heal something if you cant see it

2005-01-27 [DanClark]: Yes and no. Normally, the reduction in energy is centered at the point of weakness. Effectively, the aura is the weakest where the energy is required the most for self repair.

2005-02-16 [DancingElf]: so where the aura is hardest or impossibe to see is the area that you need to focus on...

2005-02-16 [DanClark]: Yes, but not always. If you look at when you hurt yourself (bruise or otherwise) that part of your body tends to be warmer than the rest. Blood is rushing to that point and increasing the energy at that point to heal yourself.

2005-03-13 [DanClark]: lets look at a more efficient way of healing oneself: imagine water flowing from your toes to/and out past your head. the water is warm and clear.... washing away the impurities of your soul and body. The flowing energy cleansing everything in it's path. that is how energy works....it flows, once you are able to direct it's flow, then you can reap it's benefits. let's look at water: before you were shown how to cup your hands to drink deeply of it, you could only sip at it's greatness. and even after being shown how to drink in more, only practice will alllow you to appriciate it as much.

2005-03-28 [nokaredes]: Ha! I knew everything had an aura...people keep telling me that just living things have auras.

2005-03-29 [DanClark]: An aura is basically just the electrical imprint of something's make-up.

2005-04-02 [Estantia]: but Aura's have different areas, like the mind, and most of the layers can change...

2005-04-03 [DanClark]: Well, auras have to do with the electrical fields surrounding your body. Your brain controls these electrical fields, as it does all of the functions of your body. As your emotions change, so does the percetion of your aura by people who can see it.

2005-04-03 [nokaredes]: and don't forget that people who can see auras are looking at them from the other side of their own aura, which might distort their perceptions...

2005-04-04 [DanClark]: Yes, but then that brings into mind a question: If you wear pink colored glasses all the time, and paint a picture would the picture look any different to me? If the scene that was painted tried to match the painting exactly, then the colors used to paint it would look pink to the painter as well.... so there would be no difference. All that to say that your own aura shouldn't affect what you see, but your emotions could affect how you see.

2005-04-04 [Estantia]: would that work by saying if you were bullied by someone their being angry would be seen as aggressive to them, but by the bully's friends they would see what caused it?

2005-04-04 [DanClark]: Yes and no. More to the point that the emotion of anger would corrupt what is seen by the angry person.

2005-04-05 [nokaredes]: Right. The reason being that your emotions show up in your aura. ^_^

2005-04-05 [DanClark]: precisely, but at the same time, someone who is angry all the time would become accustomed to the distortions of his/her emotion so as to not factor it in to the percieved aura.

2005-04-05 [nokaredes]: Yes, but no one is angry all the time. Besides, there are other things in the aura, like a layer that shows your character traits. So, some parts change and some don't. What you have to do is realise that some people might see one color and you might see another while looking at the same person at the same time, and that you need to make your own this-color-means-this guide.

2005-04-05 [DanClark]: Exactly, and the fact that the choices are related to how and who you are.

2005-04-23 [Valient Tragedies]: i think you should do healing for the next topic

2005-06-08 [DanClark]: Thank-you Vampryc touch...i think I will. Sorry for the lack of content, courses and work were unfortunately eating my time. I will endeavor to write something, at least once a week.

2005-06-08 [nokaredes]: I'll write something every time someone else does...if I have something to say. (aka, I won't say something useless) Only one more month of classes! :D

2005-06-09 [Amon Ra]: People some help!?! Can everybody see somebodys auro. I mean either I can't see my own aura, or I'm dooing something wrong, or I'm just 2 tired (it's 05:15h in the morning). I tried focusing but nothing, I only see two blured images of me but no color around them (besides that everything is normal). Help

2005-06-09 [nokaredes]: I haven't really been anle to see my own aura yet...try looking at someone else's

2005-06-09 [Amon Ra]: I'll try. Thanks

2005-06-09 [Amon Ra]: But how. Is it the same as when when you'r looking at your own aura?

2005-06-09 [nokaredes]: I don't know, considering I've never seen my own...I usually see the auras of people I look at for long periods of time, such as teachers. *shrugs* Maybe someone else can help you more than I can.

2005-06-09 [Amon Ra]: I'll try some tomorrow.

2005-06-10 [DanClark]: OK... auras react to people differently (speaking in a sense of viewing) I know some people that can't 'see' auras, but are very adept at feeling them. they say that they can feel the energy surrounding someone and the emotion of the person is felt as well. Although it can be frustrating not being able to see someone's aura, those people I know who are limited like that happen to be some of the most gifted auracal healers.

2005-06-21 [ArienT]: I can see a fuzzy halo around things if I concentrate, but I'm pretty sure it's just after-images. How can I tell?

2005-06-21 [DanClark]: It's hard to explain...it's not actually seeing' persay...more perceiving. You sense the aura, the sight of it is merely a trigger, or focus. How can you tell is more seeing a difference in different people

2005-06-21 [nokaredes]: After images tend to be the same or a similar color as whatever you're looking at, but aura colors usually contradict each other and the subject. Also, an aura vanishes from sight faster than an after image.

2006-10-05 [DanClark]: One year... A truely truant teach I am.

Any interests that would like to be discussed here?

2007-03-08 [nokaredes]: ...I guess not.

2007-05-14 [The Voice of Difference]: I've found that I can easily manipulate my own aura, and sense the aura of those around me. An example would be the kid at my left standing by my computer, out of the corner of my eye, the aura around him seems blu-ish, but the girl behind him seems to be more of a red. When I tell people this, the reaction they have, is they say that other people have told them that before; if they have gone to find out what one of those Kairi(sp?) pictures shows. Is this abnormal?

2008-07-27 [Naraxa]: Excuse me sir I am having trouble seeing my aura, i tryed the way you outlined focusing on close and far objects but retaining sight of myself in a miror and nothing, no haze, nothing? what am i doing wrong?

2008-07-31 [The Voice of Difference]: Maybe you just can't see it. It may just not be your thing.

2008-08-30 [Naraxa]: oh. okay i thought that all living beings had the capacity for second sight, so to speak

2008-08-30 [The Voice of Difference]: Really? That's kind of ill-guessed...
