Seeing aura's all of a sudden.

[Phoenix]

I'm bringing this to the front again because I have finally learned the lesson, and I wanted to share it with others, who may go through the same thing at some time.

Not only did I have to accept the ability, but since it was on a sort of 'borderline' I actively encourage it now. When I tried to supress it I got very ill and I'm very happy with actively trying to use it. I'll say again, leaving it and 'accepting' the ability wasn't enough, I have to use it.

I have found though that even though this is my ability, other people have quite fantastic psychic abilities. One of my friends is very good with past lives, with a kind of metaphysical logic; and another one of them has a deep psychic ability to sense the archetypes a person is dealing with. The deep symbology of their lives at that time.

Also not to be put down are people's just abilities that relate more to the real world. Like humour, or intelligence.

Having been able to view the aura some what, i didn't find it of much interest but perhaps it hasn't really manifested fully to the point of being able to see the energetic system and path ways which would make it far more interesting. I believe its a natural part of our development.

[Melissa]

Though I also believe it's a natural part of our development. I'm curious to know, Phoenix, in what way are you using it?

[AnthroHeart]

I used to see a blue line around objects, like their etheric body. But I've lost that. Sometimes I see afterglows from when I look at something, I continue to see a silhouette of the object when I move my eyes away.

I've always been a bit curious about this so I just read a bit to see how to do it on myself. What I got was a yellowish outline but what really freaked me out was when I moved away from the mirror and focused on a white wall. I could see a yellowish outline of my head that ended at the top of my ears and my eye sockets were also yellow. From my ears and down to the outlines of my arms, was a pinkish color.

It said something about this being a halo or something like a teacher of sorts and the pink kind of works also as it's a balance between the spiritual and material word I guess.
I may have to play around with this a bit more. I've never been one to have any abilities per se but I've always had a good intuition about someone by looking into their eyes.

[AnthroHeart]

A lady told me I had a gentle spirit by looking into my eyes. For the most part I believe her.

I think we have sort of been trained a little to turn away from the 'magickal' parts of our own nature. As I said with the other people that were psychic though, sometimes people have it different. (As you have indicated)

Though I also believe it's a natural part of our development. I'm curious to know, Phoenix, in what way are you using it?

At the moment I'm switching it on at almost every possibility and a lot of the time I focus on plants because they are slightly easier. When it is naturally in a good place I can see the whole thing without intention, like my mother and the dog the other day.

I do volunteer at a Buddhist place where I talk openly about it and people ask me about it, and want to be read.

I don't see colours at the moment. Just substance, shapes, and the places that the energy is going. Sometimes I use senses. I have seen a LOT now, just looking round the street.

When I get tired and don't want to use it, I push myself at those moment. My goal is to practice with it like a muscle until it gets to a place where it is practically useful.

[AnthroHeart]

There was a movie where the people saw auras around plants. I can't remember the name of it at the moment.

It's a little bit like the end scene of the Matrix. Because it gives you this feeling you are looking through regular reality.

I have taught someone to see an aura recently and they saw the same things as me and described it very similarly. But I would still wonder if someone else's description would be at all similar to the way I see them. I sometimes see what can only be described as metaphor.

[AnthroHeart]

Now I remember. It was the Celestine Prophecy. An excellent film about energy and spirituality.

Here is one scene.

So the ability is there! I don't look at my own aura, I feel a sense of burning.

Looking into people's eyes is quite an intense way of doing it. After recently seeing a person have quite an amazing alternative ability after my having shown them aura reading, I always try and encourage people to do what they feel drawn to. (So long as it's not self destructive as was my tendency to turn away from aura reading.)

After reading 'the crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater,' the negative adept had the cinematic power of driving people mad through staring at them. The positive adept had just a subtle comment made about him that he had very loving eyes that the girl could just 'stare into.' Perhaps these two abilities are infact equal, it's just that the Service to Others adept shows off a bit less? Less showy powers? So in considering it I felt that ideally I would choose having the second ability replacing my internal imagination of the first ability, was the best way to go.

Gemini Wolf: I haven't seen the video yet but giving and receiving energy is interesting. I recently had kind of an awful dream where I sucked energy out of someone because I got angry with them. It seemed to me one time that I can cause accidents through severe anger, but no physical contact.

That was less about energy and more about the philosophy behind it.

Sometimes when I have intentionally given energy, meditated and focused, I have made people extremely stressed. Possibly because of something about me.

But I might work this into my life philosophy. I feel there is another thread here somewhere.

[AnthroHeart]

When I sent Reiki energy to my dog once, he snored he was so deep asleep. It relaxed him.
Other than that, I've only really sent energy to other beings that I haven't met, hoping
they are sending energy back to me. I like these exchanges of energy.

[Phoenix]

Aah, sounds nice.

When I sent energy to my mother for only seven minutes to make her feel better at work, she came home massively stressed. I think I have a lot of dense 'light' or something that makes people realise stuff that makes them stressed.

My big thing at the moment is acceptance though. I used it to reopen my auric ability earlier today. Acceptance may be how I stay open giving energy as the philosophy of the film. For instance, if you accept a positive thing it is gratitude, which is love.

[AnthroHeart]

If you are sending someone Light, I can understand that it might bring out some subconscious shadows within them. Usually I like to send to their higher self and have the higher self send to them, for their highest good. Well, not all the time, I have sent to people directly. One person said it felt cold when I did that. Another person thought it was stellar when I cleared his whole city.

I like the distortions of love called gratitude and appreciation.

My issue is I can't mentally focus for very long. Not more than a couple of minutes. So sending energy to people is not too effective in terms of time. But I think we can be effective with a short time. Such as with my dog who was snoring within 5 minutes I think it was.

I wasn't sending light. I was doing my best to approximate 'energy' and in a loving way, but as always taking advice from the power of the meditative state.

Sounds like you've got a talent in this area. I did once send energy to a friend to help him enjoy himself at a party and wow did he do that! That has actually worked for myself in the past as well, sometimes... It's great to remember stuff.

Perhaps I'm just not a healer in the energy sense of the word.
