Auras.

     At some time in your life you'll hear that "someone has an aura around him or her." What's that? You ask. (It's not an "aire" that's something else.)
     The aura is part of what is known as the "energy field" that exists around everyone of us, sometimes called the "ephemeral body". It extends an inch, two inches, a foot or more and sometimes in waves from our physical bodies. I f you have seen it (and you can be trained to do so) you will have seen that it varies in extension and shape in all of us but it is always there. Sort of follows us around like some sort of shadow but it's not a shadow - it's us.
     I've seen auras and they're quite distinct. They are faintly colored and we are told that the color depends on the "energy" the individual is holding.
     For instance, if you're crazy in love with someone I bet the auras around you and your sweetie are various shades of pink. Or if you're just a kind and loving person - you are probably surrounded by a pink aura.
     Very spiritual people carry a blue or purple aura. And bright and brainy types will exude the color yellow.
     If you're recovering  from an illness the aura may be green - the healing color.
     If someone is very ill, there may be a gray aura around you. Before we knew he was very ill. I was told that my husband had was an "ashy" aura about him. I thought it was probably from his cigarettes. But it wasn't.
     There is also a phenom called a "muddy aura". A muddy aura appears with splotches in its mist and  tears or rips in the fabric. It is said that these marks indicate worries and tensions, emotional up sets. They can be "cleansed."
     Kirlian or "spirit" photography can pick up these colors well.
     And auras are not ours exclusively. Trees have auras. Huge extensions of waving green mist around them. Massive healing energies. Animals have auras.
    
     Want to know how to see them?
     Have someone - or two or three of your friends (Nice husbands make great guinea pigs) stand or sit in front of you. Become very still and focused and train your eyes to look slightly off center at your subject, keeping your vision slightly out of focus. After a while, you may see what I'm talking about. A color, a shape or just a transparent but visible mist. It takes practice but you can do it. I love looking for auras around trees. A plain or "un-busy" background" helps.
    Even more interesting is the energy field itself. You can feel this and I know you have. I'll tell you what I know about that next time.
Have fun!
