Does anyone else know what Auras are? The Magnetic Field that surrounds the body of all living, and many inanimate things, and has colors that vary by mood and personality?
It's actually possible to see Auras, if you know how. A lot of people would dismiss them as false, but I know how to (and have seen) Auras before.
Can anyone else see them?
My aura is Dark Purple and Red.

...How?
My Aura is pink!
I've never been able to see Auras, but I had a friend who could. (He could also see ghosts. Kinda freaked me out, but not for long.)

My dad can see them. Both auras and ghosts, the latter of which he handed down to me. I've tried to see auras, but I can't.
There are two ways to see Auras: Either spend a long time learning, which doesn't always work, or you can be born with the ability.
I'm one of the latter.
I tried to learn to see Auras (my friend tried to force me to learn, actually) but it never worked. I can see one ghost though! His name is Kevin, and he's Mongolian.
*raises eyebrow*
You don't believe me? *pout*
Kevin has been my best friend for two years now. :)
Though I can't see auras particularly well, I can see energy in general (not in color though, sadly). Also, I am able to heal a little. Still working on expanding my abilities though- I have a loooong way to go. :P
How do you learn to see these, things?
*shrug* Maybe you have to be born with the ability, or maybe you can learn it from somebody- I really have no idea.
Once I saw something around my body that was kind of bluish. It was only about a centimeter or two thick. My parents thought that I was having a migraine or something so they made me take Advil lol. ;D Could this have been my aura or something?
Yep, sounds like it! ;D
I wonder what my Aura would look like....
I'm more curious about what on earth an 'aura' is for, or what it means.
Supposedly a field that surrounds all living beings and has different colors depending on mood and the person in question.
Sounds dubious to me... It's a sort of paranormal thing, almost.
They were really cool in Michael Scott's The Alchemyst, though.
Oh! It was in the alchemyst? When?
Uhm... The whole idea of the shiny bit around the people that let them use magic. Gold, silver, mint green, ice white, sulfur yellow... In that book, it had a distinctive smell as well. I love that series. So good.

There are lots of names for them: auras, energy fields, chi, chakra, etc., though some of those have different (and not exactly accurate) connotations.
You know how Earth has an electro-magnetic field around it, right? Auras are sort of like that, only with individual things. And while the auras of living things are usually the easiest to sense or see, auras are not exclusive to them. I know how cheesy and silly this will sound, but in Pocahontas when she says, "...I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name"- personally, I think that auras are kind of the "spirit" she refers to there. Certainly, Native Americans were more in touch with that sort of thing than most people are today.
*realizes that explanation has turned into a rambling rant, and stops* Whew. Sorry about that...
Rambling rant? You sound like me.
Is that like a speak speech? ;D
Quote from: Gwenny"...I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name"
Everything DOES have a spirit, and a name. Whether or not that's the aura, I don't know. But considering the fact that I've had quite a few nice conversations with trees and a few rocks, I'd say the Native Americans have something there.

Which one?
So how exactly do you um, talk to a rock?
Trees are easier, actually.
But, anyways, you have to concentrate, and open your mind. You don't have to extend it as it's harder, (For me, anywho) But in some circumstances it can help. Then you try and the tree's, rock's, or pencil's, consciousness, and say Hi. How're you doing? See? Easy-peasy! The most tricky part is opening your mind and keeping it open, and the second most tricky is listening for the thoughts of you tree, rock, or pencil.
But a pencil and rock are inanimate objects. They're not alive. So...how do they have thoughts? :P
As Pocahontas said "Every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name" (I don't know why I'm quoting that,I've never seen that movie)
I'm just playing Devil's advocate here, I've never spoken to a rock or a tree

Exactly! And, honestly, not seeing Pocahontas is betterthan seeing it twenty million times. (A sister was obsessed with it). And, a lot of people haven't spoken with rocks, trees, pencils, dirt (One of the most tricky to talk to. Ever.), and so on and so forth.

Eh. . . . . . . Hold up! Lemme go call my dad. He could explain it much better than I can. And so he should. . . . Considering he's the one who sees them. . . . . . Okeydoke! So, basically, an aura is a frce field around every living thing. It changes depends on a person's health, mood, so on and so forth. Each one is unique t the person/creature it belongs to.
Is it possible to manipulate your aura or something like that? Like to.. do stuff? :P
Ummm. . . . *Is dialing the phone* That depends on what sort of stuff.
Make lights and hurl energy bolts at people?

Lights, not so much, but "energy bolts"... yes, in a sense. My older brother is
really good with using his energy. My mom remembers this time when he (standing across the room) raised his hand, and her hair all stood on end. She said she never had to worry about him getting attacked by a wild animal.
Also, as cheesy an example as this is... if you've seen Dragon Ball, you should know about the Kamehameha thing. Using energy is kind of like that- you have to gather it up, focus it, and then use it to do what you want. Although, it usually doesn't result in a blasted-apart wall or anything like that. That's pure artistic license.

Do ghosts have like a physical presence
Please explain what you mean by 'physical.' I need more to go on, Spear. ;)
I mean can you like punch it
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, sorry. You weren't joking. No, they don't have a physical presence, which, sadly, is one reason why lots of people refuse to believe they exist. But they do. While that means they can't hurt you physically they can still mess with you. Never believe a word you hear from a ghost. They can be slippery little things. ;)
I don't entirely understand the rationale for supernatural phenomena, you seem quite sure of them. I am intrigued, would you care to go into more detail about why you believe these things to be so?
(That might have sounded condescending. Tried to avoid that, very sorry if it comes across as such.)
Kinda off-topic (not really, based on the thread title ::) ), but do auras have layers? I thought I heard something like that once.
The reasoning you give for auras can't possibly be correct. An aura a magnetic field? Impossible.
I didn't say anything about a magnetic field....
Nope. Gwen and Han did, though, and the others agreed with them.
Oh ok.

A) I have the talent of seeing them (It can be quite disturbing. Ever look up and see a ghost staring at you from three feet away?) B) I've lived in a house with them for nine or ten years, and C) I've felt them. :)

Actually, what I said exactly was this:
Quote from: Gwen A. MouseYou know how Earth has an electro-magnetic field around it, right? Auras are sort of like that, only with individual things.
I realize that that may be a bit misleading- I did not mean that auras were exactly like the EM field except in the respect that they are surrounding individual things, but rather that they were similar to the EM field only in the respect that they are energy fields surrounding an object. It wasn't the best analogy, but it was the best one I could think of at the time.

Yeah, pretty much. Not necessarily clear-cut divisions, like if you cut an onion in half and you can pick out all the individual layers, though. As a general rule (in my experience), auras are sort of like your "personal space"- some people's are bigger, some smaller, and some have definite layers of comfort/discomfort within that overall space, while the layers of others just kinda fade into each other.
I hope that all helped, rather than serving to make things more confusing.
I'm really not sure why we couldn't detect auras if they were to exist... Human flesh is MUCH less sensitive than some equipment that exists to detect electric fields.
What type of energy? If they did exist, we have instruments that can detect almost any sort of energy, and they're definitely more sensitive, as rusvul stated.
Just a guess here, but if it exists, I'd say it was life energy. That would explain why it could change colors based on your health/emotions.
A lot of people say auras are hallucinations caused by migraines or other brain problems.
I believe I have also heard of a condition that causes light to refract strangely, causing colored haloes to be visible around some items as well... Not sure on that one, though.

In no way am I intending offense here, but just because some people see and hear things that the majority don't, does that really make it wrong or imagined? I mean, look what happened with Joan of Arc- she had divine visions, and was eventually executed for being a witch because the priests didn't think that it was possible for God to talk to her and not them.
In a sense, it often feels the same with spiritual things nowadays. The people who are more open to the universe seem to be the ones most shunned. Because the majority don't see this stuff, so the minority must simply be crazy. Did the majority ever stop to wonder if they had it backwards- if they're just too short-sighted to notice what's in front of them?

Speaking as a skeptic and a scientist, there is nothing that would allow you to "see" things that our vast array of instruments, along with many (if not all) scientists, could not detect. Energy, quite literally, is either motion of particles, or those particles' potential to move. What gives organisms energy is the digestion of food, so you're saying you're seeing that... Of course, there's your brain's electricity, but that's extremely weak. This (http://www.oliversacks.com/books/hallucinations/) book is pretty interesting.
Firedrake, I'm terribly sorry if this comes off as offensive. . . . But maybe you could try being a little more open-minded here, and forget some of the scientist-ey things you've learned (Not totally, but just enough) and embrace that, well, some things just aren't meant to be seen by your instruments. . .. . . I really am sorry if that comes off wrong, I just want to help you understand auras, and energy, better. :)
Problem with that is that you're asking a scientific-minded person to accept that something is unknowable or impossible to prove. The first goes against the very base of science- Science is about proving or disproving theories and finding more out about the world and universe we live in, you can't just accept that you'll never know something. The latter doesn't help make a case for auras, either. First, why would something be impossible to prove? Would the reason be unknowable? How and why is that unknowable? Second, if there is no solid evidence and no way to prove something's existence, then what purely scientific reason is there to believe that it is so?
Keep in mind that I'm not saying that this is absolutely wrong and auras can't exist. But given the amount of credible research done on auras (almost nil) and the results of that research... It doesn't seem particularly likely.
*Facepallm* Never mind.

Open-minded is being able to accept evidence that clashes with your beliefs, not accepting things by word-of-mouth that clash with evidence. "Aren't meant to be seen" isn't really a valid argument, as we can even see the extremely faint traces of cosmic radiation from the Big Bang. Telling me "be open-minded" and "they're just not meant to be seen by instruments" doesn't really have any foundation, and to make an argument, it would help to answer some points I brought up in my post :)

Han said they were electromagnetic fields though, in the topic post.
I don't necessarily not believe in auras, just that explanation is faulty. I don't see any particular reason for them to exist, though.
I don't know anyone who sees auras, so I can't test their accuracy (which would be fascinating, but...) and I don't find much of any other data, either. My lack of belief (and non-belief) is simply caused by lack of information.

How does one feel an aura?

I'm not even sure if I believe people can see them. Or maybe I'm seeing them and I just don't care or never noticed.

How does one feel an aura?
There is much you must learn, young one. ;) Anyway, if you do not know, my aura's first layer is purple, the second layer is navy, and I think that the third is a bright color, like white. I can see and feel auras, as well as manipulate them to an extent.
So these things have layers? I mean, it sounds pretty fanciful.
Yeah. I don't really believe they exist...
Yeah, I can't say what I really think, it would be edited in a heartbeat.
It's an interesting thing. I've always thought of auras as a sort of spiritual thing, like they depend on how righteous you are. Not your beliefs, mind you. Just how good of a person you are. Anyone can have an aura. I think it's more of a feeling than something you can actually see, although some people say they can.
(Basically, I'm saying you can have an aura whether you are atheist or Christian or Buddhist or Islam or whatever, and auras are feelings, not actual energies or "halos" or whatever.)
Just my thoughts.
It sounds like nonsense to me, but I'd be willing to accept it if I actually experienced something of the sort.
I may have felt a ghost before. I've seen a dark reflection in a mirror and when I looked back, it (or he or she) is gone. Weird.

It would not have been a ghost. People do not come back from the dead unless God wills it, and He would not do that just so they could pop up in a mirror. It could have been a spirit though. Of what, I am uncertain.

No offense intended to anyone, but there isn't much point criticizing someone else's personal belief and citing your own personal belief as the reason they're wrong.
That being said, as I am somewhat skeptical in nature, I'm inclined to disbelieve rumors of auras and such.
I really don't understand this... :P

I know. It's confusing.
I think basically what they're talking about is seeing a colored glow around a person. But by my definition aura is a feeling, influenced by the quality of a person's spirit. Like, some people just feel
wrong and other people seem to project happiness or confidence or optimism.
I'm just repeating myself, aren't I? :P
Hmmm, this is an interesting topic.
When I was alone at home once, I heard a cupboard door shut loudly and I was in my room with my door locked with no one at home. The cupboard door was also shut when I went into my room.
Ohhhhh scary!!!
Ach, I know.
Some people hate me because my aunt was a killer. great-great-great-great aunt and on and on. they say that she's called Bloody Mary. But, I don't believe in ghosts or the supernatural coming back to life. So, it's hog wash to me.

I really don't understand this... :P
I know. It's confusing.
I think basically what they're talking about is seeing a colored glow around a person. But by my definition aura is a feeling, influenced by the quality of a person's spirit. Like, some people just feel wrong and other people seem to project happiness or confidence or optimism.
I'm just repeating myself, aren't I? :P
It;s not really just a colored glow. Well, sort of. The glow is energy, your energy, but it reflects what you're feeling. Pockets, how do you not understand?

Yeah, I can't say what I really think, it would be edited in a heartbeat.
^^^^^^
Well, it doesn't really mesh with anything I can think of. Plus, I never really heard of it before. Also, it's confusing because some people agree it's there, but don't agree on what it is. Plus, the whole "auric energy manipulation" thing sounds pretty suspicious.
No offense, but how can you be sure it isn't just a trick of the light?
I thought people saw auras before they got migraines...

Okay, not sure what you mean by that first sentence, Pockets. *Confused look* A lot of people either don't know what auras are, or know but simply couldn't give a care. So yeah, people don't talk about 'em much. *Scratches neck* I'm pretty sure that not really
anyone knows what an aura is. We just have different opinions, I suppose. But I personally think (My opinion, doesn't have to be yours, okay?) that auras are energy surrounding a person that changes color, and sometimes shape, to reflect what a person is thinking or feeling.

Say what now?
au·ra
?ôr?/
noun
noun: aura; plural noun: aurae; plural noun: auras
the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place.
"the ceremony retains an aura of mystery"
synonyms: atmosphere, ambience, air, quality, character, mood, feeling, feel, flavor, tone, tenor; More
emanation;
informalvibe
"an aura of sophistication"
a supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature, viewed by mystics, spiritualists, and some practitioners of complementary medicine as the essence of the individual, and allegedly discernible by people with special sensibilities.
any invisible emanation, especially a scent or odor.
"there was a faint aura of disinfectant"
Medicine
a warning sensation experienced before an attack of epilepsy or migraine.
So, yes, it is something you might have before a migraine, it is also a general feeling, and a 'supposed emanation.' Personally, I'm skeptical, but I'm just kind of like that. However, I do think that because it is a spiritual sort of thing a little more respect might be shown. If Christians' beliefs are to be respected, and atheist's views are to be respected, there is no reason Cornrflower's... (Not entirely sure what to call it... Beliefs? Spirituality? Something like that?) shouldn't be respected as well. :P
It's not so much the aura part as the ghost part I could (but won't, don't worry :P) comment on.
Anyhow, I've never had a migraine but my mom gets them every so often. She describes the aura related to them as something that occurs before the migraine takes place that makes her head feel weird and fuzzes or dims (forget which, maybe both) her vision.
Oh, well if you mean the state of near-unconsciousness, I've experienced that before. Everything was kind of fuzzy, however. No wierd colors or lights.
No, I think it's a different thing than the I-might-faint fuzziness. As far as I know, a migraine aura can actually last awhile before the headache starts, and my mom at least can function pretty normally with it (like being able to drive somewhere if necessary or interact with people without them noticing something's off). She's never mentioned colored lights being a part of it, though.
So the I-might-faint fuzziness, migraine aura, and color aura are three different things, I think.
I have had migraines before. The aura one sees when experiencing a migraine is like the white glow in your vision after you look at the sun or a bright light. It stays in one spot as you look around.
Even though it has been defined many times before, I feel like a concise definition is needed. Your aura is an extension of you. Its color is based on character, emotions and well being.
Your aura changes colors frequently. Auras have what I call a "base color(s)" that reflect your personality. These can change, but not as often as other colors; they change with your character. The other colors in your aura represent your emotions and well being. A good example of this is when a person is relaxed, they will probably have shades of blue or another cool color in their aura. If they suddenly are insulted, red will flare up like their anger. It basically is, like I said earlier, an extension of you. There is more to auras, like their movement and manipulation, but I am not to confident in that area yet and I do not want to provide you with the wrong information.

I don't think that your definition is the only one, Plugg. Lots of people think of auras as a feeling, but your definition can be true for some people, too.
Corn, while I don't agree with your ideas of natural energy and stuff, I do think it is possible. Just sort of the weirder side of Naturopathy.

I thought this was something you believed like, five years ago, and not anymore
(Plugg and I are friends IRL)
Now Skye is going to grill you for details... ;D ;D ;D ;D
Mmhm... Not really something that bears thinking about. I keep emotions all too well contained, and I would not prefer (and doubt it is possible) for someone to be able to look at me and say, "Oh, he's a glowy magenta and burgundy today. He must be feeling..."
Character is not a color. it is an intangible, its defenition disputed, its content constantly changing, fully accessible only to those it belongs to. Why should this most personal of all belongings be projected for any to see?
They aren't.
I think the big idea is that you have to have a gift to see them. Like some people believe in second sight, some people believe in aura-seeing. Iunno. :P

*Now really, really, really wants to say something but doesn't wanna start a forum war* I WILL say this: I believe in ghosts, because I have lived with them and seen htem. They are spirits who are simply trapped here on Earth, and have no idea what o do now, where to go, or any of that. It's quite easy to help them.

Not exactly a gift. . . . *Tries to figure out how to explain without upsetting or accidentally insulting everyone* It's more like. . . . . Everyone has the ability, we just don't have it switched on. Some people, like my dad, just do it, I suppose. I'm getting there, to the extent of being able to see a simple light around someone, I just can't see the whole thing.

Oh, Pockets. It IS possible. *Sighs* I'd like to debate this point some other time.
Now, for your other point, it's not your character - It's your auric field. Yes, it's constantly changing, because it picks up everything from you! Okay? can you think on that for a while with an open mind? Please?
