Auras

This is a natural thing, and also the ability to see / sense it is nothing extraordinary or impossible.

But please remember to be patient with this. In some cases, it may take years of practice and study before a person is able to see the entire aura and all of its intricacies and components. But any person can begin to detect slight indications of the energy field with little effort, and usually in a matter of minutes if they can attain and maintain the correct brain state. You must be willing to meditate in order to see auras. You may find other articles that interest you about this subject...
