What is the Aura?

Simply put, the aura is a field of energy emitted by all things.

(If you want to put this in a movie context, the aura is the 'force'.)

If we put a scientific spin on this: all matter is comprised of atoms, all atoms are electrically based (or have a potential energy stored within them) and it is the energy of the whole that is the aura.

Living things tend to have a greater aura than 'non-living' things. (I use the term non-living only because examples of the latter will be given later on in this course.)

Now we have a very basic knowledge of what the aura is, lets learn how to be able to ‘see’ it.

Seeing an Aura

There is no spell, or potion, or magic trick to see an aura. We all have ways of interpreting energy in various forms (ie. Sight, hearing, touch). All we now need to do is retrain our eyes to that level of energy. The actual information is there, we have just blocked it out as a type of background noise; similar to the way people who live in the city block out the sounds of traffic.

First look into a mirror, then change the point of focus from your body to a point ahead or behind your reflection.
If you are having difficulties changing your focus point try placing a small object between yourself and the mirror. Focus on the item, but observe yourself at the same time

You should see a blurred halo surrounding your body. This is your aura.
(Don’t worry about color, or intensity just yet. Those things will come in time, first you need to get used to ‘seeing’ the aura)

Now you're able to see an aura (I hope), next question would be:

Great...now what do I do?

At this point, you have several options, each based upon personal beliefs and proficiancies.

Some people are natural healers; the type of person who often worry about friends, family and strangers. They are the ones who are always trying to help.

Others are more combative and/or secretive. These would use a more aggressive form of aura manipulation.

Aura Healing

Using the aura to heal is simple...and as with all simple things, it is difficult to explain how it can be done. (but I'll try!)

Everything has an energy field, living things have a field that is stronger and more fluid than inanimate things. each individual; with training; can manipulate his/her energy field to produce a desired result.

Let's look at some examples:

You have a cold. There is a living thing inside you causing unwanted reactions; in short your body is 'dirty' or 'contaminated'. For this particular problem I would redirect my energy flow to remove or wash away the undesired element. (This begins to touch upon other beliefs such as Chakras).
Visualise the flow of energy as water(I choose water based upon my Zodiak sign. If you feel more comfortable you can use another element as your purifier).

The water flows from the soles of my feet up through my body and out past my head. I find that the choice of direction is important, as much as the visualisation itself. Life on this planet tends to grow upward, drawing strength from the ground and reaching for the heavens. For this reason I allow and direct the flow in the same direction as is its natural path.

Healing is also a state of mind, think of it as a visualisation for you body to understand. Healing is a physiological reaction to a specific stimuli.

- You cut yourself, you bleed, your body attempts to clot it, your cells begin to repair the wound.

Now understandably, that is a very simplistic view of how your body reacts to 'stimuli'.

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.
