Thats what helped me: -living in and with nature -stop using electricity, electric lights -no TV, no internet -working with crystals, candle flames and other natural sources of light -regarding the stars -being creative after some months of doing so I could also see the auras of other beings and things. Now living with electricity again I can hardly see any auras any more...
Hi Darkstar Auras are layered a bit like an onion has layers. The deeper you go the more understanding you will have. For example; One layer is color. One layer is textures. One layer has memory pockets and so on. You might want to read the post started by PonyGrl420 about fifteen post down that is titled, Anyone have medicine cards. The information in there will help you get started. Most people feel auras before they open to seeing them. The first aura I saw was my own from the inside out, so it was strange at first to see auras from the outside in on other people. Keep a journal of the information you think you see and when comfortable ask for confirmation. Remember the aura is intertwined with the individual grid pattern, and energy body.
I feel auras by touching someone or listening to their voice. Most importantly looking into their eyes. But I have had HPPD since birth so, that also helps.
I started seeing auras when I had an idea of what an aura was... then I just was interested in seeing them and they came to me. I do NOT agree that being in natural light makes it easier! ...just not true for me to any degree but not opposite either. I can see auras with flourecent light just fine in fact, ya I don't know where u get that from can you qoute something or yourself? I'll tell you a few things that make it easier for me... - When first observing energies adjust your eye site so your not focusing on anything, give your eyes a bored relaxed feel. - Having one background texture/color/form helps me. For example if there's shadows, different colors, and textures it makes it more difficult for me - It's easier to see auras when your in a good state of mind. - Easier if you feel healthy - when I go to yoga especially or running anything cleansing, even fasting occasionally will help me see auras. Also smoking the greeen stuff helps me get more in tune. Here's an almost guranteed way!! *Go outside early in the morning when the sun is over the horizon but unseen. Put your hand up to the sky, stay there for 5 minutes and let it come to you don't psh too hard good luck!
Personal expericance: after some months without electric lights I just see much better. The time before sunrise is also my favourite time withe creativity reaching its peak just with sunrise. Using Datura stramonium or Belladonna also helped me.
