Introduction

As a child I went to a church school. Every Thursday morning we attended a chapel service before school began. I was very interested in music and always positioned myself so that I could watch Mr. Carder, the organist. He also taught music and was one of the best teachers I ever had.

One morning as I watched him playing Bach, I was amazed to see beautiful colors emanating from him and heading up towards the high, vaulted ceiling. I was fascinated by this sight and prodded the boy next to me.

Look at the beautiful colors, I said.

The boy looked, but saw nothing. I cant remember what he said, but it was enough to stop me mentioning the colors to anyone else.

From that time on, I saw colors around Mr. Carder almost every time he played. I simply took it for granted that the colors would be there, and did not think it strange that I never saw colors around anyone else, not even the school padre.

Years later, after a lecture I gave, someone came up to me and suggested that the colors might have been reflections from the stained glass windows in the chapel. I thought it unlikely as I was familiar with the pretty patterns the windows made over the congregation on sunny mornings. Nevertheless, I went back to the chapel and checked. The organ was placed in such a position that it was impossible for the stained glass windows to reflect on the organist.

What I had seen was my very first aura. I was fortunate in that I saw colors from the very start. Most people begin by seeing an almost colorless surround and only gradually do the colors appear. Because I was a child I simply took the aura for granted, despite the comments of the boy who was sitting next to me. I did not analyze it or even think about it very often. Occasionally, I would see the aura around Mr. Carder in class when he was playing the piano. However, it was never visible when he was teaching.

A year or two later, he became my class teacher. His method of maintaining discipline in the class was to read to us every Friday afternoon if we had behaved during the week. The book he read was a favorite book from his own childhood, and he handled this old, battered book with reverence and love. The story was an exciting adventure, and our behavior in the classroom steadily improved, week by week, as it was much more fun to follow the latest installment of the story than it was to study mathematics. As he read, his aura would grow and surround him with brilliant colors.

Once I became a teenager I occasionally noticed auras around other people, usually when they were talking enthusiastically about something that interested them. However, it was always something that occurred randomly. I never set out to see auras, but was also not surprised when I did see one.

At the age of seventeen I attended a series of lectures at the Theosophical Society and discovered there was much more to the subject than I had previously realized. It surprised me to learn that most of the other attendees were working extremely hard to try to see something that I had been taking entirely for granted for half of my life. I wanted to interject and say that they were trying too hard, and should simply relax and let it happen, but was too shy and reserved.

I still believe that the best way to learn to see auras is to do so in a relaxed and playful manner. If you attempt the task with grim determination, all the fun disappears and it becomes almost impossible to succeed.

I had a striking example of this many years ago when I first began conducting psychic development classes. A lady in the class was desperate to see auras. Despite my admonition to have fun with the different exercises she would approach each one as if it were a matter of life and death. Her stress levels rose as different members of the class reported success and she could see nothing. She took the class notes home and left them in her living room. One evening her husband picked them up and read them. He had had a couple of drinks and thought it might be fun to try the exercises. His wife was skeptical as he had always expressed total disbelief in the subject. However, partly to humor him, she agreed and they did some of the exercises together. To her amazement, she discovered she could see auras easily. She was even more amazed that her husband could too. In fact, her husband was so frightened by the experience that it was many months before he would participate in any more experiments with her. The interesting thing about this story is that, in the class, this lady was determined to see auras, but couldnt. At home, enjoying a fun experiment to humor her husband, she succeeded easily.

In this book I have included all the exercises from my psychic development classes. If you practice them, in a spirit of fun, I am confident that you too will be able to see and interpret auras.
