Photographic evidence of the aura, particularly around plant life, has been available for many decades. Kirlian photography, which was invented in Russia, enables pictures of our aura to be taken. After a leaf has been dissected, a Kirlian photograph will show the aura of the leaf as being whole. Amputees, are also seen by many psychics, as having an auric limb still attached. If you have purchased auric glasses which show reflected light arrays, put them on and observe the colours around lights, the moon, stars, people etc.

Auras can be seen with the eyes open or seen psychically with the eyes closed. Do not focus your sight on an object or peer intensely at it, but look beyond the object with softening of the eyes. The aura pulses and is best observed around the hands and between the shoulder, neck and head region. Most people will see the emotional, mental and etheric layers as they are quite colourful.

We suggest that you prerecord this exercise on a cassette tape and then replay it when relaxed.

1. Relax for a few minutes, holding your quartz crystal. Ask your Guides to help you with this exercise to see auras.

2. Place in front of each of you, a sheet of the white and a sheet of the black cardboard squares and place your hands palms down, upon the white sheet first.

3. Gently gaze beyond the hands and between the fingers. After a minute or so you will observe a vague greyish/white smoky energy field, one centimetre width, beyond your hand and between the fingers. It will appear to move and pulse.

4. Now try seeing the etheric aura against the black piece of board.

Note: Everyone's Etheric aura will be slightly different. Some auras will be white, others grey or blue, some strong and clear and some weak and indistinct.

Record your findings.

Now it is time to bring in your pot of yellow flowers or go out into the garden.

We suggest that you pre record this exercise and then replay it when relaxed.

1. Relax for a few minutes, holding your quartz crystal. Ask your Guides to help you with this exercise to see auras.

2. Place in front of you, the pot of yellow petalled flowers. Again do not peer at the flowers, but gently gaze just beyond them, for several minutes. Soon you will see a vibrant purple etheric field, pulsating a centimetre or so from the flower petals.

3. If there are other coloured flowers in the vicinity, observe their etheric aura field also. They will all have different coloured auras.

4. If you have large trees nearby, observe their auras at the top of the trees, against the skyline. They are usually very distinct. As the tree sways in the breeze, the aura takes a few seconds to catch up with the tree.

5. Thank your Guides for their help.

2. Visualise a grey/white Etheric layer lying close your body approximately half an inch wide (1.3cms). Its vibrancy indicates strong or weak health. It is primarily connected to the Base or Kundalini chakra (life force). It is your most easily seen etheric field. This field can also be seen around trees, plants and animals. Observe the etheric field and look for any grey or black spots of negativity which may indicate physical, mental, emotional or spiritual problems in the body. Mentally remove them and fill the ether with vibrant white light.

3. Move out to the Emotional body which lies beyond the etheric field and extends to one to three inches (8cms.). It is strongly connected to your pelvic chakra. It contains, when healthy, beautiful bright blobs of energy and colour. These primary colours are emitted as the emotions change. Observe the auric field and look for any grey or black spots of negativity which may indicate physical, mental, emotional or spiritual problems in the body. Mentally remove them and fill the aura with vibrant yellow light.

4. Move out to the Mental body which lies beyond the emotional body and is composed of clear yellow, green or blue colours, when healthy. It indicates your thoughts and attitudes. It is connected to the solar plexus area and extends three to eight inches (19cms) out from your body.
