I See Colours Around Everything

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

By Tracy Schruder

One thing that most people don’t know about me is my ability to see auras. As a child, I would often notice a faint glow of colors surrounding people, plants, and animals. I assumed it was a normal part of everyone’s vision, it wasn’t until I grew older that I realized that this was a unique experience and not everyone saw the world in the same way. When the colors became more vivid and defined, my curiosity grew, and I began to research what I was seeing. That’s when I discovered the term “aura” and learned that I wasn’t just seeing things – I was tapping into the energy that surrounds every living being. I bought some books on the topic and did some research online.

I learned there was a scientific explanation for this. A technique was invented by Semyon Kirlian who was a Russian electrician and amateur inventor, Kirlian discovered the effect in 1939.

Along with his wife, Valentina, Kirlian developed the technique and equipment to capture these electrical discharge images.

It’s called Kirlian photography. This technique has been used in various fields, including:

Biofield imaging: To study the energy fields surrounding living organisms.

Energy healing:To visualize and analyze the effects of energy healing modalities.

Art and design: To create unique, abstract images.

While Kirlian photography has been associated with claims of aura photography and spiritual significance, the scientific community views it primarily as a technique for visualizing electrical discharges. From my understanding I believe that it shows much more.

What is an Aura?

An aura is believed to be a field of energy that surrounds a person, place, or object. It’s often described as a luminous, multicolored halo or aura that reflects the individual’s spiritual, emotional, and physical state.

Some key aspects of auras include:

Multilayered: Auras are thought to consist of multiple layers, each corresponding to a different aspect of a person’s being, such as physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Dynamic: Auras are believed to be constantly changing, reflecting the individual’s thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Auras are thought to interact with the environment and other people’s auras, influencing the energy and atmosphere around them.

Some people claim to be able to see or sense auras, describing different colors and patterns that correspond to various emotions, traits, and energies. That’s me, I’m some people. 

As a Reiki practitioner and meditation coach, being able to see auras has been a game-changer. It allows me to pinpoint blocked chakras and sense the emotional energies my clients are experiencing, whether positive or negative. This insight enables me to tailor my practice to their specific needs, making me a more effective healer. What’s more, I’ve come to realize that everything has an aura! it’s a beautiful phenomenon that reveals the delicate web of energy that surrounds us. I firmly believe that anyone can learn to see auras with practice and dedication. One technique I’ve found particularly helpful is intense focus. Try placing a houseplant in front of a plain-colored wall and focus on it. With time and practice, you’ll be able to see the aura of the plant, and eventually, the auras of people and other objects. By developing this skill, you’ll unlock a new level of awareness and understanding of the world around you.
