here is a small technique one could add to their daily regimen of exercise or meditation. It is meant to exercise the mind in visualization and also create new neuron paths in the brain linking to visual stimulus. This will allow you to better visualize during meditation and also if you are a person who can sense auric fields this should help you better identify them. I personally cannot see auras or energies, but is has lent me the ability to link the energy i can feel to a visual representation of it in my mind.
first vigorously rub your palms together until the are charged with heat. place your palms over your eyes while they are open, blocking out the light.relax and stare into the blackness. allow your eyes to fully absorb the heat then repeat this process a few times. this allows the muscles in you ocular cavity to relax a bit and reduces the risk of causing eye strain.
a few inches in front of your eyes point your index fingers at each other and bring the fingertips together and then separate them again.you should notice a double nailed disembodied finger floating in between the two index fingers. bring that image into focus and keep it focused for a few minutes without straining. afterward palm your eyes again.
the next day palm your eyes(do this before every time you try this exercise) then draw two identical squares on a piece of paper. hold it up in front of your eyes and allow yourself to cross your eyes slightly and see the two squares form a third shape in the middle. focus on this shape for a few minutes. again when you are done palm your eyes.
on the third day, palm your eyes, and draw two transparent cubes on a piece of paper. adjust the focus of your eyes until a third cube appears to float off the page. each day attempt to focus on a more complex image. always palm your eyes and never do this to the point of having a headache for you can actually damage the paths your are attempting to create in your brain.

The exercise reminds me a little of those 3D posters that were a fad in the nineties....early 2000's? The jumble of lines that you had to focus on, until you saw the 3D image within. Loved those things. :)
Will have to give this exercise a try. Thank you for posting it.

This is an excellent exercise to help develop your minds eye,thank you for posting this Arca ...look forward to peoples reply on whether it has helped you all.
Im not able to see other peoples aura but can see my own..I have a few techniques that might help people sense and define their auras..if anyone is interested ,also how to cleanse your auras and such.
Feeling others energy is something im gifted with..but im not able to see others energy..only get whether the energy is threatening or calm and nice good energy, but i don't shield and am able to block the negative energies myself at will, however i do suggest that you all shield here, i considered putting my shields up again due to the fact i was magically attacked last week, it was very intense but i fought off my attacker without any harm being done to myself..it's just my preference not to shield im an open book for all to see and have nothing to hide from anyone :)
Blessings.
Ginseng.

haha i could never see the images in those posters! mad me so mad... and you dont have to be alone to do this. i for one would love any info or techniques you have to offer gin:) i am not to experienced in auric fields or aura cleansing so info on this would be wonderful. i read your post gin about spinning your chakras to clean them and it has helped with my meditation greatly! it used to take me a while if my chakras were fuzzy, or dirty, to will them to shine like they are supposed to. spinning them seems to help a lot.
