There can be no doubt that we all have auras, which have been seen for thousands of years, measured for 60 or so since Kirlian first did it in Russia, and now seen with the naked eye. Humans just happen to have the most complex fields, and that is why they change from moment to moment. Plants have them too, and they can be seen as more subtle and stationary, until you put something like a magnet (or a glass of red wine) near their field, and then you will see a change. Even inanimate objects have them, but they are seen to be totally stationary, never changing. Science can now measure auras as electro-magnetic energy that is outside the body. Some people who claim to be healers can be measured exuding up to 80 Volts for several seconds at a time. These tests have been conducted repeatedly at the Menniger Institute in Kansas, as well as The National Institute of Health in Maryland, and no serious scientist who looks at the results can question the veracity of these things. Do we know what this "energy" is totally? No. Does that mean the energy, whatever it is, doesn't exist? No. It can also be felt! What proved to me that seeing auras are not an optical illusion, was the fact that no two human auras appeared the same. When the author gives demonstations at bookstores, I've seen all types of different shapes, sizes, and intensities, as different people stood up to be seen. Although I can't say I saw color as intensely as some people did, when I did see a color, it was the same color as other people reported, and I came to that determination before other people said anything. Since that time, there have been several opportunities to see different people ( at church, in lectures, and at school) that have helped strengthen this natural ability everybody seems to have. I've even taught my wife, who was very skeptical at first, to see auras, and she sees colors much better now than I do! This book is very well written, and the information contained within is the most clear and concise on the subject that I'm aware of, and if you want to learn how to see the aura, this is the best place to start. Highly recommended.
