How To See Auras Yourself For The Very First Time

Low light, a certain distance and an angled gaze will help you learn how to see auras for the first time. All living things have auras! People, animals, plants and even the earth itself.

Some people have always been able to see a faint glow of light around other people and just take it for granted, although the majority of people will lose this ability as they grow out of childhood.

Thanks to Kirlian photography most people now generally accept that this energy field does actually exist. However, unless you can actually see them, this knowledge is of no use to you.

The first hurdle in learning how to see auras is the 'seeing is believing' syndrome:- If you have never seen an aura, then you won't believe that you can. If you don't believe you can see one, then you will be unable be able to see one!! - Catch 22!

This Is How to See Auras

  1. Firstly, the light level in the room should be low and your eyes should have become accustomed to the low light level. (Iris wide open).

  2. Secondly a distance of about two to three metres (six to nine feet), is preferable.

  3. The subject may be either your own reflection in a mirror or someone else.

  4. Do not look directly at the subject. Look past and into the distance.

  5. You will perceive a faint 'glow' or 'energy field' around the subject.

  6. The moment you first see (perceive) this field you will automatically try to focus on it and lose it.

How do you see auras on your hands?

  1. Relax and clear your mind: Find a quiet place where you can relax without interruptions. Calm your mind and try to release any worries or distracting thoughts. 

  2. Find a suitable background: A white or neutral-colored background is often recommended. This could be a plain wall, a white sheet of paper, or even the sky. You'll be looking at your hand against this background.

  3. Rub your hands together: This will amplify the energy in your hands. Rub them together briskly until they're warm and you can feel a tingling sensation. This will stimulate of the energy or "aura" in your hands.

  4. Focus on your hand: Hold your hand up against the background, fingers spread slightly apart. Look at your hand, but try not to focus too hard on it. It is best to slightly defocus your eyes, or look "through" your hand rather than directly at it.

  5. Observe patiently: Keep looking at your hand in a relaxed way. After some time, you might start to see a soft glow or outline around your hand. This is the "first layer" of the aura, and it might appear colorless or slightly white, blue, or gold.

  6. Look for colors: If you continue to observe, you may start to see colors in the aura. These could appear as layers of color around your hand, or as patches of color over different parts of your hand.

How do you clean your aura?

The process of cleansing (compacting) your energy field is one of clearing your body/mind/spiritual connection. It goes like this :

  • Massage your third eye with the fingertips of your dominant hand whilst repeating the following affirmation: “In the name of *(whatever you hold to be sacred) I cleanse my body and soul!”
  • Place the fingertips of both hands on your third eye, now draw them over the top of your head and down to the nape of your neck, then away from your body.
  • Shake your hands vigorously as if shaking water off your hands.
  • Again run your fingertips from the third eye to the nape of your neck, away and shake.
  • Starting at the temples, now pass the palms of your hands over your whole head, then shake out.

That's it! - Feels refreshing and cleansing, doesn't it? I perform this little ritual before meditating, saying affirmations and in fact before performing any spiritual exercise. *My personal affirmation is "In the name of Jesus Christ" ....., simply because I was raised in a Judeo Christian tradition.

The Late: Richi Who

I first met 'Richi Who' (AKA Richard Philippe) in 1986 when I had moved to Magnetic Island in Queensland. Richi was leading a mystical, monkish, life at the time. He was living alone while caretaking the solitary house at Arthur Bay for its owner, the late, Sid Ward.

Richi became an integral part of my own spiritual initiation and was to become my psychic guide. His late-night mystic sessions on Arthur Bay filled my life with wonder while opening doors to other worlds.  

Richi later became the first psychic reader I retained at my Ancient Wisdom Center and we stayed friends ever since.  Sadly Richi Who passed away in 2013 while on holiday in Europe. Happily he has since reconnected and is now one of my highly evidential spirit guides.
