How to See the Aura

A How to Guide

By Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 7 years ago 3 min read

Back in college, I’d walk at night on 19th avenue in San Francisco. I’d open my auric sight if it was dark enough, and I could see the whole street awash in astral colors coming from every person on the road, even those on the light rail. Every person on this planet can do what I can do. Nobody is exempt from this ability, it’s just that some people are born with it shut off, while I was born with all my abilities turned on since birth.

The aura is a type of psychic energy signature, or how you feel around a certain person anyway. A psychic energy signature comes from somebody’s brain, and heartbeat while they are alive, because of the heartbeat. We aura seers can feel when somebody is staring at us! We somehow know this right away. Do not shove aside first impressions, when in fact, they can be dead on. I went to this one security company once. I parked my car and saw a vision of an atomic bomb in my mind’s eye. I chalked it up to nerves or anxiety. Then I go inside, instant drama I’ll leave at that.

Not only can I see the aura, but I can see chakras as well. If you see dark-colored anything, that person is not to be trusted, in particular, dark brown. Any icky feeling or color, such as puke yellow, that person is mean and not to be trusted. As Ted Andrew states in the How to Read an Aura text, a person can have a weakened aura from “feelings of being a failure, health problems and an ineffectiveness in many or all life situations” (5).

It really is true that your “energy field, your aura, and your seven chakras, “ can pick up information from the energy fields of others." Source. This is something I have under control now but that I do all the time. I have all the clairs, as I’m clairsentient, clairvoyant, and clairaudient all in one. It can get exhausting sometimes, to be bombarded by so much and to have so many energy levels daily. You can see your own aura by looking at your hand. Back in my spiritualist church days, we did do aura seeing exercises since the class was structured a certain way.

This is virtually the only training I have had since back then, I was trying to get my schizophrenia treated properly while running into certain people’s interference as I did so. Seeing the aura of another person involves having a partner stand against a white wall, where you look at them from head to toe. All psychic activity has to do with the breath. To see an aura, you need to focus on your breath for a moment without absorbing the other person’s energy. The aura is first seen above the head and upper body.

The aura has to interact with the energy fields of others since this is the nature of the beast. There is always an exchange because Andrews states, that “every time you come into contact with another person, an exchange of energy can occur. You may give them some (the electrical aspect), and you may absorb some of theirs, (the magnetic aspect).” This happens to me all the time. I have managed to put my aura seeing stuff into my subconscious where I don’t always use it consciously. If somebody has a dark, foreboding presence, it means they are unsafe. If their aura has icky colors like black, grey, brown, or dark red, it means they mean you harm. Interpreting aura colors is difficult but eventually, you can learn it. I may as well work on my aura reading again since I may be a touch out of practice but I feel I should work on it.
