auras

[Eden]

I posted this under just talk...but since it is about Divination..I thought I would post it here...I would like some impute..thanks
Eden


I have had the ability to see colors surrounding living things all my life. For years I thought that everybody saw them..I found out different (but, that is another story). As an Art Major I have studied the physical and psychological efforts different colors can cause...red will produce an increased heart rate while green will produce slower breathing patterns....a certain shade of yellow will produce a feeling of discomfort in most people..while a certain shade of blue will produce a sense of strength in most people and placed side by side the true hue of red and green will make most people physically ill...but, if you have a shade difference you will make most people feel happy....I could go on....
I feel it is up to each person to decide what does a color mean to them..by the tone of the color and placement next to another color. By looking at someone..and I do not ‘‘look’’ at everybody I can make a determination based upon my own perceptions of what that color ‘‘means’’ in relationship to the other colors. Each color as a meaning if you will a negative, positive and neutral meaning.
The use of divination comes in when I ask a person a set of questions...for this type of divinity it is sometimes better that I can not see them.
The use of the questions reflect the conception that each person as to a feeling of a color. And, even though I do not believe that there is only one definition of a color in most cases a each color as a set of common definitions based on societal belief structures. By looking at the questions with the color choice I can give an educated conjecture of the base problem. There was once a woman whose color choices were green, green, green and green..however, she wanted, dreamed for purple..by helping her to see her image of what purple meant it liberated her to try something new in her life without giving up the positive influences of green
The use of auras as a tool for divinity has been very successful for me. It still amazes me when I give a reading and they will write back how did you know that?
I welcome any questions or comments. I do not claim to be an expert...just a student who is learning.
Ask yourself: What color was my childhood?...What color is it now?..What color do I want it to be?

Hello!

I have only been able to see bits and pieces of my own aura, generally in the hand area when I'm typing, and it just pops out, a beautiful bright, vibrant purple/blue! I have tried to see auras, but like many, I get too frustrated and then start trying too hard. :D

In answer to the questions.....

Childhood- bright, sunny yellow
Now-burgandy (a dark red)
to be- medium/dark green

So, any input on what that means?? :D

[Eden]

Thank you for your response. Please understand that this is off the cuff with out the full body of questions it is hard to give a full reading but here goes

Childhood- bright, sunny yellow
Yellow is the color of hope , of imagination...you want are you remember your childhood with fondness
Now-burgandy (a dark red)
Dark red has been the known as the color of blood, fertility, deep passion, questing, you are searching for something, you are in a major productivity level, strong emotions
to be- medium/dark green
dark green is warmth, peace, comfort..green is life, growth, the darker shade suggests even more so, more centered, more evolution in a path, rest

As I said without a full reading..it is harder to get a feel, but I hope this helps..let me know what you think..you will not offend me...this is part of my learning progress

Eden

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

I think you did great!! That is what I feel! I was unsure what the dark red signified....but searching and strong emotions are at play at present in my life! :D

I loved my childhood. I feel I had a great one, I was protected to the point that I was naive about many things. But it was a great childhood filled with wonderful, happy memories!

I feel that is definately what I am searching for, for the future!

So, I would say you got an A+ ....and a brownie! :D

Thank you so much!

Hiya Eden! Thanks so much for posting that, it was really interesting and very insightfull :) I wish you so much luck and best wishes with your ongoing quest to learn more and to teach more! ~ Maybe if you wanted to you could start a class in this? As I am certain lots of people will be very interested and gratefull as I am to learn and read more! :sunny:

I too like Dadga have been trying like mad to seee aura's but cant really ~ It has happened on two occasions through!which was amazing ~ I saw little purple beams of light dancing round my friend and on an other occasion while I was practising Yoga I saw it auras round my teacher and the girl next to me. Sometimes I get a feeling of what colour people are when I am thinking along the lines of aura's, so maybe I am seeing there aura but not actually physically? Instead just getting a feel it?

I asked myself ~ What color was my childhood?...What color is it now?..What color do I want it to be?
I know my childhood was Black ~
thats a very strong feeling, but Im over what has caused me to think that and have learn a great deal from that now.
So Now Id say I was Purple ~ dont know why but maybe especially in my learning more about the spiritual side of life.
And I want to be either light blue like a clear crystal sea or vibrant red! Im also happy with being purple! I knwo these are all dreamy colours but cant see why I want to be a cold colour and a hot one at the same time?
Id really love to hear your thoughts!!

Thanks again :D

Hello and well met,
I would be pleased to offer what I can and if you would like a free full reading please e-mail edenblacksmith@usa.net

I will take your advice and write on what I know about training one’s eyes to look for color. As to your questions (and, I still must say this is incomplete)
know my childhood was Black
Black is not a color but a shade..true a very dark shade ..but still only a shade..Black can be a comforting color (I will use the term color ), however it is also, a color that incases, devours if you will the other colors from our life. Since you have spoken of your past so..and have come to an understanding ..you have my admiration. In some cases black is a protective color. I could write a book about its many properties.
I , Purple..while, yes purple is a highly spiritual..it is also the color of fantasy, vision and creation..it is a color removed from the more mundane aspects of life. However, because of its nature it is a hard color to maintain..for mundane things like the bills, work, dishes and such for purple demands freedom from the mundane to thrive. And , though we would all most likely like to live am a purple world....we must replace the toilet paper.
And I want to be either light blue like a clear crystal sea or vibrant red!
You have a very clear focus on what you want...I do not see the conflict for what is purple but a mix of blue and red. What you want is the freedom to be more clearly defined in the diverse parts of your nature.
light blue like a clear crystal sea: peace, clear, far-reaching, tranquillity, reflective....
vibrant red: passion, enthusiasm, warmth, zeal, rage, love...
If there is any conflict , and forgive me if I am rude, is that you feel you must give up one for the other..that you must be either this or that. How can you be “why I want to be a cold color and a hot one at the same time?” , because you are, you have worked hard to light your colors shine through the darkness of your past..why limit yourself now?
In Love and Light

Please tell me what you think

OH lessons on training the eye!!! I would be very interested! I can see the first layer pretty easy, the silvery, clear.....heat looking part that is from the skin to about 2-3 inches from the skin. I think it's called the etheric aura, but have problems expanding it to see the color beyond.

[Silver Venus]

Thanks so much for the offer of a full reading! Wow! Thats so kind of you! What details do I need to send you?

Dagda and I are actually giving readings ~ short readings for everyone, week cards in the Tarot forum ~ We would love to see you there and if you have an inyterest in Tarot please join in with the lessons! We can also give more in depth ones too so if you want your cards done I will be very happy too return the generousity! :D

Hehe, I never thought when I wrote, about Black not being a colour!! But you are so right about it being a shade that swallows all over colours around it!
I couldnt belive how right you were about all the aspects in my life ~ I am living a bit of a fantasy and being too splash with allot of aspects of my life at the moment, I realise this week should be a time of reflection and sorting out! So true! especially your comment at the end about me thinking I had to be one or the other ~ how true! I do think that allot and Im trying not to think I should be one of the other! I loved your interpretations of light blue and red ~ they are exactly what I do what in my future and I know there are no limits!
Thank you so much for your time and efforts and for the inspiration! :D

I am really looking forward to learning more about aura's and i'll be sure to get my eyes in shape for training! :sunny:

I have also been able to see auras and energy since I was little. I find sometimes that it is easier to see them when my eyes are closed. I know that sounds strange, but it helps me to look through my third eye instead of my physical ones.
I think that if you want to start seeing energy and auras, you should start with feeling them. It is my experience that after becoming sensitive to the way energy feels, you start being able to see it better. It is like a muscle, and the more you exercise, the better you will get. I am empathic, and so a lot of the time I am trying to block out more than I let in. (I think that I'd go nuts if I let everything in.) But it does help if you are trying to see auras and/or energies to open yourself up a bit.
Just my thoughts on it.

Kaylara

[Dagda]

I can understand the need to block things out!

I wish I were fortunate enough to see auras though! :D

I'm sure with some guidance and work, I'll be able to see them in no time flat!

:D

[Eden]

I am delighted that you wish to learn the art of looking for colors.
The suggestions I am giving are just that..do what is right for you.
1st lesson
Your Personal Color Chart
Just has you would have a private dream journal to determine what different dream symbols mean to you: Tree might mean safety to one person and fear to another
So you should have an idea of your conceptions and perceptions about what a color means.
Start with 5 colors (we will get to the others latter)
Red
Blue
Green
Purple
Yellow
Give each color its own page on a notebook
a) Free writing: write down every word, thought, image that comes to your mind about that color
do this for each color
b) Blind imagining: describe the color in a paragraph as if you were telling a blind person what color is green..think of things you would have them touch or taste or smell for each color.
c) unofficial survey: pick three people and ask them what words do they think of when hearing the color
d) media: what colors are used where in advertising...what message are they conveying to the buyer
e) storytelling: make up a small story using the 5 colors as the players...what role did you give them ..why
f) All three: make 3 columns Positive, Neutral, Negative: for each color list the traits that color has in each slot..you can use a word in all three slots.
After you have done these things..start again with a blank page and for each color list the words you feel it means (yes, some words will cross over to the other colors)

Once you have done this please let me know.
If this should go somewhere else let me know..I am still new here.
I hope it helps
In love and light
Eden

This is so wonderful of you to post this.

I am learning as well, and at the moment can see a narrow aura when looking at my hands. I do see it in colour but it is very pale. Sometimes I see a pale blue and sometime a pale green. When I see the green I see hints of yellow and orange(both pale as well). Most of the time I see a bright white light which is very thin and close to the skin.

I look forward to more lessons.

Love and light
Neek

PS: This one deserves a new note book :D

Thank so much for posting all that Eden ~ Great suggestions I love new projects & I will start my new notebook tonight and tell you all tomorrow!!
Kaylara~ Ill take a look at the website tomorrow :D

I don't see colors to auras. If and when I see auras, I see a glow of white light, some times a faint, very faint shimmer of color to them. Usually it is so pale that I almost miss it, I think that is a trick my eyesare playing on me anyways.

Childhood: rose pink then black/deep purple (like a really *bad* bruise)
Now: Green or deep blue, occasionaly ice blue
To be: Deep blue/vibrant purple, with silver

Sorry about the multiple color thing. I just kinda feel that one color doesn't work. :D

The first color most people see is white..many believe when we 1st enter this world a white light surrounds us and has we grow and experience life that is when color comes in..but that 1st layer of white remains....I have seen newborns with it full and I have seen those about to die. the colors fade taken over by the white.


If you would like a full reading please write me at edenblacksmith@usa.net



Childhood: rose pink then black/deep purple (like a really *bad* bruise)
rose pink: full of promise, happy, laughter, robust, fortunate
black/deep purple (like a really *bad* bruise) : strict authority, regulations, hurt, control, domination



Now: Green or deep blue, occasionaly ice blue
Green: life, growth, purpose, expanding, healing
Deep blue: adept, peace, power, strength, forcefulness
ice blue: cool, reservation, meditative


To be: Deep blue/vibrant purple, with silver
Deep blue: adept, peace, power, strength, forcefulness
vibrant purple: energy, direction, spiritual, focus
silver is the fantasy side of grey..grey is a shade
silver: whisper, mystery, shadow, touch, impression

Sorry about the multiple color thing. I just kinda feel that one color doesn't work.
That is okay...sometimes one color is not enough.

As I said..happy to do a full reading
love and light

Is there something like eye exercises that you can do to make it easier to see the colors in an aura?

Thanks for the reading. I might take you up on the offer for a full reading. :)

[Silver Venus]

Hiya!

Had a look at the website ~ its got loads of great suggestions for excercises in developing your aura eye! Thanks for the tip! Its great! :D
Ive really been opening my eyes up the last few days ~ and even though I havent been up and about (had the flu) Ive really noticed a change in my dreams and the way I see things! My dreams have been amazing! ~ when Ive got my head round them Ill tell you guys all about them, but at the moment Im still not sure what they are saying to me every night ~ but the colours are out of this world! :D
Ive started on my notebook but not got as far as I would of liked (dreaded lergy slowed me dopwn this weekend) so I will work on this the next few days! and tell you all my results very soon! :D

[Eden]

Hellooo all!

I also bought two black crystal stones the other day ~ Black Onyx and Jet ~ Theya re both so beautiful! and will meditate with these very soon ~ hopefully tomorrow night when Ive got some time to myself. :D

I feel Im ready for the next lesson Eden ~ cant wait to learn more!

(P.S ~ Did you read the reading I did for you in the Tarot thread under Aura? ~ If so ~ how did I do?)

[Eden]

Auras Lesson #2

Feeling: Find a person who is wiling to be your subject (someone who can remain still)
Have the subject sit, lay..make them selves comfortable..do this in a room with little air and where you will not be interrupted.
Each person has a electric charge that radiates from there body (this is what makes that stupid shock or the reason your air stands up when you rub a balloon on top of your head
sit next to the subject..have them close there eyes (if they are uncomfortable with that than it is okay for them to keep them open) put your hand as close to their arm as you can with out touching them close your eyes (important) feel the charge running from the subject. Experiment with some people you may have to get closer than others. Depending on the subject move your hand over them as much as possible over bare skin. The lips, fingertips, gentiles , ears and toes are the most sensitive of our bodies..play careful attention to the sensations in these areas. After you feel ready place a sheet are other thin fabric across the subject’s arm, but not completely covering it..close your eyes..and move your hand over again. get to a point where you can not tell the difference.
This exercise will be easy for some and hard for others.
Your eyes must be closed you are feeling not looking
Before we see something we sometimes must believe it exists first

EYE EXERCISES

FOCUS

1) take two objects of equal size and weight..identical is better
a friend to move objects

have objects placed side by side about 3 inches apart from each other ...about 10 ten feet from you . Level with your eyes..lay or sit if you have to.

Pick either right or left object to concentrate on..tell friend which one you have chosen.

Concentrate fully on that object...do NOT look at other object

Friend will slowly move other object away, behind, near (not touching), object you are concentrating on...note: in front of the object is for advanced students, as is objects that are different from each other

train yourself to only see the one object

2) you need a ten cards from a pack of playing cards
and a friend to move them

take ten cards nor more than ten (any more and you are using your memory skills more than concentration)

have them laid out face concentrate on them for one full minute (be timed a minute is a long time)

than have your friend pick them up and shuffle them
than you lay them back out till you feel it was the same...

this will train you to look for patterns..and to trust what you see

2) have your friend sit in front of you about 3 feet away
stare at them for one full minute
than close your eyes
you will see (if you do not..rest and try again) the negative image of them..
(here is the hard part) try and maintain that image as long as you can

this will help you to see without your eyes

3) have your friend sit front of you about 3 feet away
(I know this will sound funny)
look at them...past them..through them

now

draw them into you through your eyes

(If you need further explanation....please let me know)


next lesson will be more eye exercises and how to see

[Silver Venus]

I cant thank you enough for posting those excercises up ~ Ive heard a few of them before in slightly different ways but have never actually remembered or tried them out! I have just printed of your words and will practise the first feeling one tonight! :D
Tell you all my experiences tomorrow...

[mythril]

Hi Eden!

I dont quite understand what you mean in the third exercise,
Would u mind explaining?

[Eden]

I know I may have written it wrong..I will try and explain again..if I am unclear please write again.

Using your hand
put it in front of your face ..stare at it till your hand becomes thinner and thinner..you may have to cross your eyes to do this..that is ok

now hold your hand up staring at it keeping your head straight..now look past and around your hand

keep you hand up..focus on an object behind (to the side) it..keep focusing till the object is your complete vision

I hope this helps..it is hard to explain with words

Eden

is anyone ready for next lesson?

[mythril]

Im ready as ever

[Rick]

Interesting...

[Flar's Freyja]

People have shown me how to read auras, but I've just not ever been very good at it. I am good at feeling energy, but not actually seeing the aura. I did see a beautiful white one once in an individual who I already knew had a very pure spirit.
