The best place to first look for a glimpse of the aura is on
the hand around the fingers. Look closely at the area just above
the flesh. A very small layer, perhaps only millimeters thick,
should be perceptible. It will differ in texture and quality from
the air around it, and after a time, colors may suggest themselves
to you. At all times you should trust your instincts and
impressions and allow them to guide you to your conclusions. Do
not doubt your perceptions until after you have explored them
fully. Once you are finished, you can step back and analyze your
experience all you wish.
After you have focused on the first layer, another layer, like
a misty ring above the first, may become perceptible. This is the
outer shell of the aura. It varies in thickness from person to
person. The layer of the aura can actually vary from day to day or
hour to hour on any given person according to mood, energy level,
and so forth. In general, this layer is colorless but may appear
lighter or darker in varying shades of grey. When particularly
thick and opaque, this usually suggests shields.
The inner layer of the aura can vary in brightness and color
according to health, emotional state, and energy level. There is
no standard interpretation chart for any of these qualities, as
perception is strongly influenced by the subjective expectations
of the individual.
We filter all of our perceptions, to one degree or another,
through our individual symbol system. Thus, intuition has proven
to be the only set rule for aura interpretation. What are your
emotional reactions and instinctual responses to a particular
color or quality in the aura? If you see a particular color,
analyze what that color means to you. The aura, like so many other
psychic impressions, speaks to you in the language of symbol. As
your symbol system is uniquely your own, you must come to
understand the meaning of your individual symbols if you are to
accurately interpret your perceptions of the aura.
