How does an aura look?

The aura looks like a kind of halo that surrounds and outlines not only the head but the whole body of every living person.

The aura is an emanation from a body to which spirit is still allied―it interpenetrates the surface of the body―it is a dissemination of the spirit over the body.

The aura is of various sizes and colours and is always in movement and changes in the same person at different times, for it is affected by emotion, character and health.

Intellect and intelligence determine the shape, for there is a fine head aura round any one who is well developed mentally.

Spirits can tell by looking at the aura if a person is psychic―that is how they know a medium and come to them when they want to communicate with people on earth.

The aura goes to make up the Spirit body, for when the physical body dies, there is no aura. 

In dying, the aura gets gradually less and is drawn inward and upward. 

At the same rate at which the aura absorbs into the body, the spirit begins coming out of the head.

The soul, too, when out of the body looks like the aura, which does not totally disappear until the spirit and body are severed.

The physical door of the Spirit, which it uses to enter and leave the body while it sleeps is below the ribs in front, pretty nearly the centre of the body―at death, when it leaves for good, it comes out of the head.

When the spirit is going to travel, the aura apparently sinks into the body en masse and a strong column of Spirit matter comes from the door I have just spoken of. 

It builds up―or shapes into the Spirit body and is connected with the physical one by a cord. 

In the case of a spiritually and mentally developed person, the Spirit can travel a long way, for the cord would be more pliable and elastic than in the case of anyone who was not developed in these respects.

Though you do not know it, it is through a person's aura you sense them. 

It is a sure indication of character and the colours―

Blue and certain shades of violet―spirituality―

Yellow and orange―intellectuality―

Pink indicates an affectionate nature―

An apple-green, a well-balanced mentality.

The undesirable colours are certain shades of grey and brown, murky reds and greens, which indicate sensuality, jealousy and other unpleasant traits.

There are tremendous varieties in auras―they are naturally as varied as the people in the world in shades of colour, in combinations of colours, shapes and sizes―also, in some people, they are clear and well defined, while in others they are uneven, almost sagging―or lumpy-looking―or misty.

When any organ of the physical body is out of order―or diseased, the aura in that spot dwindles for the time being―for this reason, a clairvoyant can sometimes locate illness.
