Firstly, an Aura is something that psychics, or others with a clairvoyant vision often see. However, you don't have to be a psychic to see it or sense it. You may see a light around a person's head or you may sense somebody's mood, and just get a feel about someone, like a gut instinct. An example of this, would be when you come across someone from your past, you ask how they are doing and they are full of smiles and say they are wonderful, but you can see past the smiles and just "know" that something is terribly wrong. One might call it the "human atmosphere", similar to the earth having an atmosphere.

So basically, the Aura is an energy field. It takes two forms - the cosmic vibratory energy , that is present in the universe, which sustains all things and the specific aura that sustains each human body.

Recognizing that humans are surrounded by an aura, dates back over a thousand years. Christian saints are traditionally shown with a halo around the head, the Ancient Egyptians, Buddhists, Greeks and Romans, also showed people of importance in this same way. These beliefs are the same today. The Aura generally has seven layers. Most psychics only see the first three colors, those closest to the physical body. The outer layers are regarding the soul and spirit, and the inner aura layers are regarding the mind, emotions and health.

The Aura is egg-shaped and made of fibrous light surrounding the whole of the body. To some, it is like a heat radiating all around the person shimmering with light and energy. It has every color you can imagine, including those that aren't normally visible.

I myself have never seen the Aura of anyone I know with my naked eye. However, I have had the experience of having my (and my daughter Courtenay's ) aura captured on a Kirlian camera.......see below.. It's both amazing and scary. As a psychologist deeply rooted in my scientific background, I'm not quite sure what to believe; but believe or not, it is great fun.
