Experiment No. 47 – Perceiving One’s Own Aura

“In our last monograph, we explained that the human aura is an electromagnetic field which is the result of the combined radiation of the physical body, psychic body, and spiritual body – the latter of which we prefer to call the soul in our teachings, since this word conforms more fully to our traditional terminology.”

The first experiment put forth by this monograph lays out a series of steps to help recruits unveil their psychic vision. Armed with this newly awakened sight, the Rosicrucian should begin to perceive the contours and colors of their aura. The process for stirring your psychic centers is as follows:

1. Proceed to your sanctum, and extinguish all lights within the room.

• Obtain a violet spotlight. Place this light source directly behind where you will sit, facing away from your towards the opposite wall.  According to the monograph, because violet is the last color on the visible spectrum of light it possesses special properties which act to lower your aura’s vibrational frequencies. In turn, this makes your aura more perceptible for those lacking sensitive sight. If you don’t have a violet spotlight, use a candle for now.

•  A bowl of water should be placed on the altar. The natural evaporation of the substance is considered conducive to extrasensory perception.

• Focus on relaxing your body, starting from your toe up to your head. Accompany this process with a series of deep positive breaths.

• Open your eyes and look into the sanctum mirror.

• Begin to intone an “ehr” rolling out the r for as long as possible each time. This is used to strengthen and direct the electromagnetic fields flowing from the body.

• Concentrate your sight on your head and shoulders, try to avoid blinking unnecessarily. Don’t worry about hazy or cloudy vision
• Once you’ve completed this process. See if you can note the color or shape of your aura. Ideally you should be able to make out a clear predominant color around your head and shoulders.

• In some cases, you may not see an aura at all but you may receive distinct impressions, which seem unconnected to the aura.

• With time and practice you will no longer require the violet background or the intonation because your body’s electromagnetic field will be sufficiently dynamic and regular to be perceived without any further assistance.
