The aura is defined in the dictionary as a distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, place, or thing. Physicists claim that everything is energy and this includes the human body. Since everything is made up of vibrating energy particles that send off electrical impulses, the human body vibrates at different frequencies. This vibrational energy produces a magnetic field around the body. This energy field is known as the Bio-Energetic Field, also called the Aura, which is said to extend two to five feet beyond the physical body. Scientist James Oschman says, “It is a fact of physics that energy fields are unbound.” Barbara Ann Brennan, physicist and former NASA research scientist, summarizes that the aura is made of “plasma, perhaps subatomic particles that move in clouds.” Scientists propose that plasmas exist in a state between energy and matter. Brennan claims the bio-plasma is the fifth state of matter and that the seven basic layers of the aura are linked to the seven basic chakras, which are interrelated with each having its own frequency. Energies affecting the aura or chakras can cause illness and disease in the physical body. A healthy person usually has an oval shape energy field that extends over their head and beneath their feet into the ground.
Of course, there are plenty of people out there that claim auras don’t exist and insist that a person seeing auras is suffering from Synesthesia, a non-pathological neurological condition where sensory experiences that are usually separate are experienced together. An example of this would be associating faces with colors. (csicop.org) Nevertheless, when the majority of people can’t see something that a few are claiming to see, it’s easy to see why some would look for a brain malfunction to explain something they don’t have the ability to do. But modern technology has gathered more evidence to suggest auras do exist. A technique called bio-electrophotography is being used to capture the energy field of the aura. Watch the video below to see someone on a Bio Feedback Aura Imaging System.
I found my research into auras interesting since I’ve had pictures of my aura taken with an aura camera. I’m not sure if it was a Kirlain camera, but it was done in the same manner. I recently read that aura photography has suddenly become the thing to do, although its been around for years, but there’s now a Portland based company called Radiant Human that has a mobile system and they travel across the country doing aura photos. To capture the aura on film you use hand plates, which carries electrodes to capture the hands acupuncture points, and then sends the information to a computer where the software translates it into colors, this aura image is layered on top of the visible image. Skeptics and some scientists’ claim the colors are determined by how sweaty your hands are and how hard you place your hand on the hand plate.
The aura consists of primary colors like that of a rainbow. The color and size of the aura fluctuate depending on the emotional and physical health of the person. It is said that anyone can acquire the ability to see auras and you don’t have to be a gifted psychic. To practice aura reading, place your hand on a white piece of paper and allow your eyes to relax as you focus on one of your fingers. Allow your peripheral vision to blur your focus. You may begin to see a haze around your finger. It often looks white at first, but after a short time it may become a color. By reading the aura of a person it is said you can deduce the person’s personality, health, and present emotions. Knowing when to approach someone can be a useful tool.
The colors of the aura are said to give you insight as to how the person’s feeling. Within each color there are different shades and tones, so saying red equals passion is shortsighted and too straightforward, since different shades have different meanings. For example, deep red is seen as grounded, realistic, active, strong-willed, and survival oriented. Muddied red represents anger, while clear red represents powerful, energetic, competitive, sexual, and passionate. So within the colors the meanings also vary.

In my fantasy series, The Witches of Griffin, the sisters are gifted with many abilities and they use the insight they gain by reading people’s auras to decide their own actions. As Reiki practitioners, the sisters use energy healing to unblock the chakras and improve the etheric body of their clients. The allegory that energy follows thought, prayer, and meditation can be affective for leading a happier life. “We are developing the idea that our consciousness is part of the material world and that with our consciousness we can directly influence our world,” said Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, a professor of physics at St. Petersburg State Technical University. It’s important to visualize positive thoughts to bring about positive results. This goes back to the Hermetic teachings.
