What is Aura?
I suppose the aura emanates its light, instead of reflecting, so why i couldn't see it in perfect dark,(if i did, it was so weak that was imperceptible); and when i try to see it in light, its quite strong..? Maybe the aura is the color that the astral body reflects, so if you try to do it in dark you will only be able to see a transparent little line contourning you body (i didnt tryed to do that in front of a mirror, maybe you can see the aura around your head more clear)

Some people say that eventually it is possible to see Auras in a complete darkness. I have tried very hard and did not succeed much.
Auras that we see seem to increase their intensity in the presence of ambient light, but not too bright. How it is possible?
In bio-electrography human body starts "glowing" with a visible light only when it is excited by certain electrical impulses. Such a "glow" has been proven to contain phenomenal amount of information about human state, both physical and psychological.
Is it possible that electrons in our Astral Body need some stimulation to produce an "Aura glow" that we can perceive?
Recent results in quantum computing hint that it is actually quite likely. Information can be written to and read back from electrons using Light !!
Specifically, to READ the information that is encoded in electrons - electrons need to be stimulated with LIGHT that has certain parameters. The information that is reconstructed appears IN THE FORM OF LIGHT as well.
Hence, it is quite possible that electrons in our Astral body can indeed produce a visible glow when stimulated by light of certain parameters. In view of this we can even DEFINE the Aura as a "Stimulated Emission of Light from Electrons in the Astral Body".
How can we tell if we see "a human Aura" rather than some unexpected "feature" of our own vision? The evidence is in the INFORMATION that we can reconstruct from what we see. If what we see CHANGES instantly according to the other person's mood and/or thoughts, chances are good that what we see is the Aura.
Deciphering what we see is a MAJOR challenge. Unfortunately I cannot go very far in this direction myself. 35 years ago I was told that I should be blind "soon" and my eyesight didn't improve since then. In my research I had to rely on perception of other people, including children, to whom I am truly grateful for their patience and cooperation. A brief summary of my findings is online at Thiaoouba website.
A better summary will be available in my next book, coming in 2001.

After spending a week in complete darkness i was not able to see the aura but instead i saw the chakras themself on the surface of my skin and a friend of mine's skin.
Maybe it takes longer intervals of exposure to complete darkness to be able to use our bioenergetic sight in the dark.
M.E.
You are not the first person who reported exactly the same thing to me. This seems to confirm that Aura is indeed a "stimulated response" and needs external energy to become visible.
Just like a bell - it needs a kick to reveal its properties by emitting sound waves. When you don't kick it you can listen to it for a week and hear absolutely nothing. Have you seen KirlianResearch.com ? Chakras seem to emit something.
Tom
If Aura is 'Stimulated Emission of Light from Electrons in the Astral Body', then it would not be able to explain the fact that ability of Micheal to see Thao's aura in darkness
bom
Yes it would. Our vision perceives a very narrow band of wavelengths of Light. What seems "darkness" to us - in reality is not even close to the total darkness.
It is quite possible that Aura can be stimulated by the infrared light generated by the body (body heat). Note that Michel saw Thao's Aura at night, but couldn't see his own. This indicates that only those who have a very strong Aura (by this I mean a lot of information in their electrons) will glow in the dark.
A number of my friends discovered some time ago that it is actually possible to see CHAKRAS in the total darkness. Some of them even succeeded to see the "spin" of chakras. They say that "chakras spin like galaxies". As for me, I can see only some chakras on some people, not in the total darkness, but quite close to it.
Tom
Something that I actually dont understand is, if aura is just an EM wave and our eyes are capable of seeing it, then, with the highly sensitive CCD camera, why can't we capture the aura in EM wave rather than plasma discharge in kirlian camera
bom
In the case of Kirlian effect (plasma discharge) the excitation is in the form of HV electrical pulses. This excitation cannot be seen directly, simply because its spectral range is outside the range that we can perceive with our eyes. What we see is only a bluish glow - which is the response of electrons in our body.
When the excitation is in the form of light - there is a problem. The source of the excitation is in the same spectral range as the response that we want to observe. I suspect, that the main reason why no one has ever photographed aura directly is because the ambient light is more intense that the Aura and it dominates the recording.
To test my hypothesis one would need to take a photo immediately when the excitation stops. Imagine exposing a photograph in a darkroom just after the excitation (flash) stopped emitting light. Has anyone ever tried to make such photographs? Out of phase stroboscopic illumination seems to be another possibility.
Tom
When you are looking at a normal photo, is it possible for someone who can see auras, to see the aura of objects which are present at the photo, as a snapshot at the time when the photo was actually made?
Jerome
No. However, scientists in Russia found evidence that some gifted people (healers) can establish a telepathic contact with a person when they look at their photo. The evidence of such a communication was a full synchronisation of brain currents of the healer and the "patient" even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart.
Tom
What is the typical delay between on application of HV electrical pulse and the start of plasma discharge glow. What is the decay time of plasma discharge glow after the application of HV electrical pulse? Do the kirlian images taken based on accumulation of plasma discharge from several very short HV electrical pulses in a short period of time? Thanx
bom
Plasma discharge takes about 20-30ms to develop. I haven't measured decay, because the CrownTV is video-frame based (40ms per frame) but I succeeded exciting the body for 30 ms and catching the NEXT video frame. Image was weak, but definitely it was there.
I have modified the CrownTV camera excitation (2 microsecond HV impulses repeated at 1 kHz) to last 60ms and I catch the Second frame, when the plasma discharge is fully developed. In the standard CrownTV the excitation lasts for 1 or 3 seconds (selectable) and one video frame is captured during that time. Photographic Kirlian cameras (Milhomens) average images over many seconds rather than miliseconds.
Tom
Can aura of non-living material objects be defined as 'Stimulated Emission of Light from their atomic electrons' ? If so, then is the photoluminescence of such non-living objects excited by u.v light for example is actually their aura? Then, as the glow of kirlian effect of water can be dramatically increased by concentration of a gifted healer, then, if the hypothesis is correct, our consciousness is able to influence the the quantum efficiency of absorption and radiation of material objects. The more coherent and informative the information encoded in astral body, the higher the quantum efficiency?
bom
Your thinking is correct. Prof Korotkov (St Petersburg, Russia) has made a number of inventions after someone came to his lab and demonstrated that he COULD systematically influence certain plasma discharge parameters by conscious concentration.
Before Prof Korotkov invented anything, he tried for months to "shield" his experimental setup from conscious influences. He found it impossible.
After months of research he found that in some substances (such as nitrogen!!) conscious control of plasma discharge is much easier than in others. Some geometrical parameters of the discharge setup were found to have surprisingly significant effect on the "efficiency" of conscious control.
I think that a gadget is available for sale that enables an individual to "train" conscious control of physical processes by providing the instant real time feedback. Such a gadget has been used in serious academic research aiming to distinguish gifted healers from charlatans. Results are published in one of Prof Korotkov's books.
Tom
While practicing auric sight I experience blinding light colors around everything, including the person/object I'm concentrating on. Is this normal? It only lasts a few moments and comes back after a while.
madd_laughter
Yes, a number of people report similar experiences. Try to explore your own particluar perception. It is essential to be able to distinguish effects of your own vision from the information in someone's aura. Calibrate your vision as you would calibrate any instrument.
Tom
Kirlian image is said to be a physical manifestation of the spiritual aura or 'life force' which allegedly surrounds each living thing.
Allegedly, this special method of 'photographing' objects is a gateway to the paranormal world of auras. I am confronted with skeptics.
They say that if Kirlian images were due to some paranormal fundamental living energy field, they should not disappear in a simple vacuum.
Also, they say that the corona discharge is due to applied voltage, pressure, electrical grounding, humidity and temperature, not anything else.
John
Nothing is "paranormal" except our limited understanding of Nature.
It is easy to give a bogus definition of aura and then bash it.
Bio-Electrography that is based on Kirlian effect is strictly speaking GDV - a Gas Discharge Visualization. It is Korotkov definition.It doesn't require the subject to be "moist" or alive. Nails or coins produce nice images.
Any source of light has to be made of MATTER - not a vacuum. There are no sources of light in Nature that are made of "vacuum". SOMETHING has to glow, and it usually does when it is properly excited. Your sceptic is simply not informed.
Glow of gas that surrounds electrically excited objects was discovered by Tesla. Kirlian was the one who tried to photograph it in a special way.
GDV images of human fingertips DO contain phenomenal amount of information. Electrons and the electrical field that surround living objects significantly modify the parameters of the plasma discharge. This modification is FAR greater than effects of pressure, moisture, temperature etc... Gaps, local discharge amplifications, general disruption of symmetry that appear in correct GDV recordings cannot be explained by "moisture, pressure or temperature".
The main challenge is NOT to record an image but to INTERPRET it. The evidence is not in the "process of glowing" but in the INFORMATION that can be extracted from it. If someone is not intelligent enough to notice the information - he/she will remain a skeptic forever.
Unfortunately there are too many totally incompetent people with big mouths who spoil this evolving discipline with misinformation and bogus statements. As with everything - it is much easier to damage and destroy than make a progress. The diamond becomes harder to find, because the pile of shit is growing... One needs to sharpen filters...
Years of clinical trials of CrownTV system confirm the accuracy of GDV diagnostics of 95% or more. For 2 years now the system has been approved by Russian Ministry of Health for general use in hospitals and clinics. The system is closely related to acupuncture and represents a milestone improvement to techniques used by Mandel in Germany.
Have you seen my definition of Aura? Please see other parts of this topic.
Tom
Can people with colour blind or colour weak see aura? Will the results be different for a colour blind people and a normal eye sight people to see aura? Thanks & Regards
Roger Chiu
Perception of aura is individual to begin with. Some aspects of the aura can be seen with monochromatic perception. For example, a stimulated electro-photonic glow is essentially of single-color and yet it serves as a basis of reliable medical diagnostics.
