How to See Your Own Aura Using a Simple Mirror Technique?

It may sound like something supernatural, but the human energy field is an actual active electromagnetic field which emanates from one's body all the time. Modern lifestyle tends to stimulate our central vision much more than ever before with the help of computer screens and artificial lighting, however, we still retain enough skills to detect these electromagnetic frequencies with the help of our eyes. 

Viewing your aura is nothing more than switching your vision mode from sharp focus to the perception of our peripheral vision. With your face being a perfect stationary target for viewing your energy field, there is no safer way to accomplish this task than using mirrors. Read on to master the exact step-by-step mirror technique required to unlock your peripheral sight and see your own aura clearly.

Can Anyone See Their Auras?

Yes, you can do it without any special talents or supernatural powers! You just need some patience and a willingness to learn new things. An aura is not a phenomenon created specifically for you, it is an active electromagnetic field constantly emitted by your body.

An aura reflects your thoughts and current emotional state. Its intensity can fluctuate depending on what you eat, think, and do during the day. Modern human beings rarely have chances to notice their aura because all their efforts go towards analyzing visual data.

In childhood, kids tend to see their auras naturally due to the fact that their brains still haven't been programmed to ignore this information. With time, our brain becomes used to filtering out such details since they don't provide any value for survival. Nevertheless, you can easily re-program your vision system and get the ability to see the aura with the help of special techniques and exercises.

Preparing Your Brain for Viewing Your Aura

To view your aura, you should forget about all the knowledge about how to analyze visual data acquired from your surroundings during your lifetime. It is possible to train your eyes to catch subtle information with the help of peripheral vision.

The human eye includes two types of cells, rods and cones. Rods detect low lighting conditions, slight movements and contrast while cones perceive clear images with a full range of colors and contrasts.

Since rods gather mostly around the peripheral vision area, it means that this type of vision is better suited for viewing auras than anything else.

1. The Peripheral Awareness Exercise

It's designed to help you get accustomed to using your peripheral vision.

Find any object that lies straight ahead of you and try to concentrate only on it but still keeping your peripheral vision as broad as possible.

2. Lighting & Backdrop

Your surroundings play a crucial role in your success. Harsh overhead illumination or sunlight would completely erase your aura from the sight.

• Search for diffused natural light sources, as early morning and twilight lights are perfect for the purpose.

• Position yourself before an absolutely plain, neutral-colored backdrop. Ideally, a solid white, cream or light gray wall should be used. A patterned wall, wallpaper, chaotic environment will only make you confused and prevent you from detecting your aura.

Step-by-Step: The Simple Mirror Technique

Once all preparation steps have been successfully completed, it's time to proceed to the actual technique itself. One of the best techniques for viewing auras from your reflection is the mirror technique. Here is step-by-step how to do it:

1. Choosing Position

Position yourself in front of a mirror, being about 2-3 feet away from it. Make sure nothing distracts you from meditation from behind and you're wearing neutral clothes.

2. Selecting a Point of Concentration

Select any part of your face which is not your eyes as your concentration point. In some cases, it can be your forehead or the top of your right shoulder (about 10 cm above).

3. Changing Your Focusing Mode

When using soft focusing technique, try to relax your eyes a bit more and don't allow them to be fully focused on their targets. For instance, imagine yourself looking past your image onto the wall behind you, but having your eyes fixated on the selected point.

4. Isolation of Etheric Outline

Stay in the soft-focus mode for approximately 60-90 seconds and you'll see an almost invisible outline of your reflection forming. What you're actually witnessing is the etheric layer, which is a densest layer of aura close to the physical body.

5. Appearance of Colors

Keeping your focus unchanged and without blinking, the outline will gradually grow and spread from several inches to even several feet wide. At the same time, you will see vague colors appearing within the aura's layer: yellows, greens or blues, and these are the first signs of your emotional aura.

Decoding Your Aura: The Colors and the Chakras

As soon as colors appear, you will see your current mood reflected in their presence. Here is the basic interpretation of each color:

• Red (Root Chakra): Vitality, physical grounding, passion, or acute stress.

• Orange (Sacral Chakra): Creativity, emotional openness, warmth, and stamina.

• Yellow (Solar Plexus Chakra): Mental clarity, analytical thinking, confidence, or overthinking.

• Green (Heart Chakra): Compassion, healing, balance, growth, and renewal.

• Blue (Throat Chakra): Calmness, clear communication, intuition, and inner peace.

• Indigo (Third Eye Chakra): Deep perception, spiritual sensitivity, and inner wisdom.

• Violet/White (Crown Chakra): Higher consciousness and a strong spiritual connection.

Thought Experiment: As an exercise, try to intentionally alter your emotions to witness how they affect your energy aura. While holding this gentle focus, conjure memories of frustration and disappointment and watch as the aura changes its colors to more negative hues. Try doing the opposite. Think of a place or person that brings you unconditional love and joy. See how it impacts the aura!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even with consistent training, many people struggle to see anything more than an outline of their aura. Here are some common mistakes you should avoid:

• Straining the Eyes: If you squint your eyes or force them to "see" what's there, you automatically activate the center of your visual field where the color rods do not work. If your eyes feel strained or tired, close them, take a deep breath, and repeat this process.

• The "Blink" Reaction: Your natural reaction when you spot something is to stare into it. You will never see the aura of your body using your central vision. Instead, you should train yourself to fixate your eyes on the mirror while seeing everything in the periphery of your vision.

• Writing Off Results: In the early stages of your practice, you are bound to confuse the aura colors with some kind of trick of light. While they really do seem to form an optical halo due to contrasting colors, with regular practice, you will be able to discern them more vividly.

Concluding Thoughts!

Seeing the aura of your own body is an incredible way to discover your own self and become one with your subtle energy. Using the easy mirror method, you tune out all the noise from the outer world and start communicating with your inner world on a whole different level. 

Approach each practice session with lighthearted curiosity rather than rigid expectations, and you will soon find that the unseen world has been waiting for you right before your eyes.
