When I was a child, I could see a milky white outline around my body, it was very strong around my hands in particular. I never saw any colours but the whiteness was very intense.

However, I could not see it around anyone else

One day I asked my friend if she could also see the white light around me and whether she could see her own. She looked at me in horror, like I had suddenly sprouted an extra head or something and told me not to be so silly, as there was absolutely nothing there.

So then I got scared thinking there was something medically wrong with me. I also felt like I was mad because no-one else mentioned it in conversation so I presumed no-one else could see a white light around themselves.

I remember looking at my hands and thinking that from that moment onwards the white light would cease to exist and I would ignore it. And eventually it faded and vanished after I set my intention to deny its existence.

As you can imagine, 38 years later and I am kicking myself because I now know that I was seeing my aura.

Nowadays occasionally I can see a clear energy around my feet or my husbands head. I can see a huge amount of energy around one of my cats (although that has faded significantly as she has aged) but I can’t see it around my other cat. But it is not the milky white energy I saw as a child, it is just a dense clear energy, if that makes any sense.

I would very much like to get back to the intensity that I had as a child, where seeing it was effortless.

Has anyone here had any experience with seeing auras?

If so, please could you share your tips and hints?

Thank you.

White is thought to be the first layer of the aura but can also mean that you are seeing all the colours together and with training they would separate into their individual bands.

I think with anything of this nature, all you can do is practice. And trust your intuition. What works for one, doesn't for another. There are lots of different exercises on the net that work on developing this ability and the common thread of all of them is observe, observe, observe. Yourself, others, plants and animals.

Have you read any Diane Stein books? They are easy to read and include information on all sorts of things including auras, chakras, intuition, etc. (Things you've mentioned lately.) They are very female focused which I enjoy but might not be suitable to you. Perhaps you're library has books on auras too?

When I do healing I don´t see theaura but I feel it. It is a lovely sensation
