What about auras. (I sent this to the wrong section..so I copied it)?

Question

I found out a man name Telsa took the first aura picture with a special camera.(google "history of auras and go to auras & chakras)There's more info on it...but don't take that test unless you want to pay$.(Found that out at the end of it)

Answer 1

As a very young child I used to see them but I didn't understand what they were so it stopped. But when I was 13, I read a book about them and started seeing them again...and this happened right when the neighbours cat visited me in the backyard and I saw hers - it was a beautiful blue. Now that I'm older, I learnt to control it, by will I can command when to see it around people. But when I'm physically and mentally tired, that's when I can't control it and I see them around everyone and everything!

*Denie...just give in...have trust in love and the universe and you will see them...

Edit...Learn to love yourself.

Answer 2

I won't even try disputing this question.I will tell you something I know about.Dowsing rods in Vietnam.Maybe there were hillbillies running around the jungle dowsing weapons.Maybe there's even some video somewhere.Let me assure you weapons were mostly found the old fashioned way.Metal detectors,intuition and beating the c**p out of people until they told you.Dowsing is one of the easiest paranormal claims to be disproved.You can check it out for yourself.Okay one is a skeptical site but the other is PBS.You can't believe everything,can you?

EDIT,I'm curious,what don't you believe?

Answer 3

Hi Denie, I have never seen my aura or anyone else, but I have experimented with dowsing rods to find them on people.

Answer 4

If you truely see auras it could be a medical condition.

An aura, according to New Age metaphysics, is a colored outline, or set of contiguous outlines, allegedly emanating from the surface of an object. Auras are not to be confused with the aureoles or halos of saints, which are devices of Christian iconography used to depict the radiance of light associated with divine infusion. In the New Age, even the lowly amoeba has an aura, as does the mosquito and every lump of goat dung. The aura supposedly reflects a supernatural energy field or life force that permeates all things. Human auras allegedly emerge from the chakras. Under ordinary circumstances, auras are only visible to certain people with special psychic power. However, with a little bit of training, or with a special set of Aura Goggles with "pinacyanole bromide" filters (available at your local New Age Head Shop), anyone can see auras. You may also use Kirlian photography to capture auras on film. At least that is what New Age spiritualists believe.

On the other hand, you may also see auras if you have a migraine, a certain form of epilepsy, a visual system disorder or a brain disorder. These auras, however, are somewhat different from the kind encouraged by most aura training exercises. These involve staring at an object placed against a white background in a dimly lit room. What one sees is due to retinal fatigue and other natural perceptual processes, not the unleashing of hidden psychic powers. Something similar happens when you stare at certain colored or black and white patterns. Vision is not the verbatim recording of the outside world. When looking at a colored object, for example, the eye does not transmit to the brain a continuous series of duplicate impressions. The brain itself supplies much of the visual perception. In short, even if auras are perceived, that is not good evidence that there is an energy field in the physical or supernatural world corresponding to the perceptions.

If you see auras, you may not be psychic; you may have a brain or vision disorder. See your physician ASAP.

Answer 5

Should you be like pd and say because you can't see them then you don't believe they exist?  Well, since they cannot be detected by any physical means, and because the only documented experiments done on detecting auras turned up negative, and because the whole idea is pretty far removed from our knowledge of physics and biology, that's a good rationale for not believing in them. But if you want to believe in them anyway, you're on to more of a religious quest.

Edit: Denie, if people think they see them with their physical eyeballs, experiments to confirm this have failed. Instead, I believe it's a result of strong imagination and concentration. Regarding Tesla, he photographed coronal discharge, which is the same as Kirlian photography. Kirlian photography works just as well on any conductor, even inanimate pieces of metal, debunking the idea that it is an "aura".

Answer 6

Denie,  all serious study of auras has turned up nothing.  I do believe some people have convinced themselves they perceive what they call auras, but there is no reason to believe this "talent" is anything more than wishful thinking or self-delusion.

Dowsing rods are bunko too.  Like the Ouija board, they operate through the ideomotor effect.

Answer 7

The first time I saw an aura I was in my tweens, and I can sometimes catch a glimpse of color, but usually I just see the outlines.  My brother, husband, son, and second eldest daughter are different.  They can see them all the time.  Oh, my great, great grandmother could, along with my great grandmother.  

I have seen them around animals quite frequently, particulary those that I am bonded with.  I can tell by looking at them if they are sick, hungery, in pain, etc.  I actually have an easier time seeing them with animals or plants than with humans, but honestly it is harder for me to deal with people sometimes, because I am not much of a people person.

Not everybody can see auras and its actually the wiring within the brain that determines if you will be able to see them or not.  Actually is you see auras you have an increased chance of epilapsy than if you don't.  A scientific fact, although the neruologist that my husband sees says that  more people see auras than are admitted to the medical community and just because you do see them dosen't mean you will have epilapsy though.

I know a few tricks to determine a person's aura, but honestly I would rather not see them all the time.  You could say and believe that, and honestly you would well be within your rights.  I do believe sometimes that seeing is believing.

Answer 8

i have never seen an aura before... sadly.. but i think they determine what each colour means by the personalities of the people. they make an observation that most ppl with a particular colour aura have a particular characteristic... and finally they come up with a conclusion based on the ppls characteristics.

Answer 9

I can see the aura layer that stands out about 6 inches from the body, but unfortunately, I can't see colors. Darnit. lol My son can, but he's not sure how. Seeing them they SAY takes practice. But darned if I've been able to manage it yet. lol

Answer 10

Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  However, if people claim they can see something but then fail to be able to prove it in a simple test, that might mean that they can't actually see something.

If anyone would like to prove their supposed aura-viewing powers in a simple test, this guy will give you a million bucks for it.  http://www.randi.org  30 years, and still no one can prove it.  Maybe that means it's all in their heads?

Answer 11

Do you have any evidence to suggest either that auras do exist or that they cannot be explained by other known phenomena?
