Auric Sight
By Ness
What exactly ARE aura? Well, an aura is the field of energy that something gives off. Everything has an aura, but they can vary greatly. For example, the aura of a living thing is much different from the aura of a non-living thing; it's usually brighter and more colorful than the aura of, say, a rock.
We were all born with the ability to see auras, but chances are that you never paid any attention to it, and now it's gone. I'll explain the process, because I'm good like that.
Light is made up of different frequencies. We can see some frequencies, and others we can't. When we were born, our eyes were new and sensitive, and they were able to pick up all kinds of frequencies; including auras.
As we got older, though, our eyes were used a lot and began to toughen up, thus causing them to get less sensitive, thus making us lose the ability to see certain frequencies; again, auras. Developing Auric Sight is actually just a matter of making your eyes sensitive to the auras' frequencies again.
To begin, choose your target. You'll be staring at this thing for a while, so if it's a person, make sure you're comfortable with them so you don't get embarrassed when they say, "Hey, quit staring at me!"
Once you have your target figured out, stare at one spot on them. You shouldn't stare directly at their edge, because it will be harder to make their aura appear, but you also shouldn't stare at a spot too far from the edge, as it will be harder to see the aura. The reason for this is that you have to look at the aura indirectly; you have to stare at one spot, but observe another. This is called using your peripheral vision, and it's hard at first, but you'll get used to it.
Stare at the spot you have chosen and allow your eyes to go out of focus. You could also force your eyes out of focus if you'd like, as I do. My method is to simply cross and uncross your eyes. Repeat this a few times, and be sure to pay attention to HOW you cross your eyes. When you think you have the motion figured out, try doing it, but only a little bit. If you do it right, your vision will blur a little, but you won't see two images. When you want to unblur your vision, simply try to uncross your eyes, and it will all return to normal.
As you stare at the spot with unfocused eyes, you should notice with your peripheral vision that the outline of the person, in this example, is lighter, as if there's extra light there. Continue to stare at the spot without blinking, and you should begin to notice the white spreading out a little farther as time passes.
If you wish to see your own aura, sit in front of a large mirror, and repeat all the above steps with you as your target. The only difference is that as you begin to see the white outline around yourself, visualize the white being absorbed into you as you inhale, and drifting back out as you exhale. This method tends to help you focus on your aura as well as keep your mind clear.
That's basically all there is to Auric Sight. As time goes on and you practice more, the white area that you see will get bigger and bigger to a point, and past that point will be color. You may also see random streaks of color sometimes, as I do, but I'm not sure if everyone will experience this, so don't be disappointed if it takes you a long time to see color. This is just one of those "practice" things.
Good luck on seeing auras.
