Humans emit light

Mates told me this, and i found this page.

Strange! Humans Glow in Visible Light

Your body's glow may say a lot about your health.

Wonder if it has anything to do with human aura

This is pretty cool. If only we could turn up the volume a little!

I guess all living beings have some degree of bioluminiscence. As the note suggests, most will emit light in very little amounts, hardly noticeable by the naked eye. They used here a special CCD sensitive to very low amounts of photons.

Regarding the auras (and provided there is such a thing) I don't think they are supposed to be photon emissions. Otherwise, everyone would be able to see them. Either that, or whoever claims to see auras would need to wear pretty good shades to avoid being blinded by a simple lightbulb

Sometimes I can "sense" auras coming from people. It would be interesting if this light emission was somehow linked. They should do tests on people with different temperaments and in different states. Especially emotions like happy depressed and angry. I bet you produce varying amounts of light depending on those emotions alone.

Vodsel: actually I think since the level of light being emitted is so low (not visible by human eyes) if it were in fact what people who view auras see, it wouldn't be that bright lights are brighter, it's just that their ability to see the lower amounts is increased. Kind of like how some people can hear sound below normal hearing ability, has nothing to do with the volume but the frequency.

YES and throw some DMT & LSD into the experiment

I was actually thinkin the same thing but didn't want to double post! I wonder how much those cameras cost. Probably like $900,000. We have a handheld infrared camera at our work that looks like a handycam. It was $45,000

I'm not claiming that the traditional "auras" do not exist (although I have no experience of them, and other than the experiments with kirlian photography, there's no relevant research that I am aware of related to auras).

I was just pointing out that if auras were a form of visible EM waves, if auras were light, the ability to see them would certainly, vastly affect the subject's visual experience of reality.

If your ability to see lower intensities of light was increased, that would affect much more obvious things that auras. For instance, you would have night vision - small amounts of photons would be consciously perceived, and even if you assume that somehow wouldn't necessarily mean that high intensities of light are blinding, your visual perception would be very different from a normal person's. Same if you venture that the light of an aura might be in a different frequency than visible spectrum. If you could perceive EM waves outside of the visible range, you would have as well very strange visual experiences with radio/infrared/UV/X-Ray/etc. EM emissions.

If we are to speculate about auras, and related to the thread topic, it's quite clear to me that they would not be emissions of photons. They would be something else. So whatever the CCD of a hyper-sensitive camera captures is the low-level bioluminiscence of our metabolic processes, not auras. At least not according to the traditional idea of aura.

What do you think about this

 

[Vodsel]

There is a big leap between the existance of bioelectric fields in living tissue, the principles of kirlian photography (which basically involves capturing the electrical discharge between an object and a metal plate subjected to high voltage, using photographic film as medium between both, and it works with both animated and inanimated objects) and speculations about human aura.

If there were no physical factors to explain the variation in the results of different kirlian photographs, we might be facing a complete mystery. But a lot of things account for the results... type of film, humidity, electrical grounding of the object, voltage, pressure, exposure time, etc.

I don't think we can take kirlian photography as serious evidence for human auras as far as we know.

And, imo, the new age music is too loud

I see auras, so do my children, so do my friends, actually i've pointed them out to lots of people and I think almost all people see them

you can't see them in the dark, they are not like a light, they are like a field

I remember showing my mother when I was 17, I had her look at it and she said it was neat and what was it, I told her it was human aura and she actually became very frightened. it was odd

lots of things have aura
if you see them you will notice that there is a lot of BS out there about them by people who can't see them but claim to. 99% of new age books and claims about it are false. Kirilian photography is induced aura, it is not the same as the real aura

heat is considered a far red light radiation, if you take this into account all things above 0*Kelvin are glowing with light.

How do you point auras out to people?

According to your experience, it should be as easy as helping people to see them. Or at least, most people would. I'm a little confused.

Perhaps it's somewhat akin to seeing fractals. They're in the world all around us, yet until you learn to recognize them, they are invisible. Perhaps they are a phenomena that you already perceive yet somehow never end up labeling.

In my experience you need a dark matte background for best results. Hands are held out with pointer fingers extended in front of you, with the background in front of them.

You keep one hand motionless, move the other, there is something that might look like a strange illusion, it is subtle at first. It is as if there is a change in the light that connects the two fingers, like an almost invisible line, and it moves when you move your hand. It is not like light, it is like the light shifts or warps in the field of it.

At first it is subtle, but if you learn to see it you will start seeing it all over and it has something like a color.

If you put your intent in your fingertips, your attention to the sensation of them as you do this, you can intensify the effect.

You can use this to touch things by changing your intent. My favorite demonstration is petting animals without touching them... they aren't physically moved, but they do certainly respond.

You can work with this field in a lot of ways, sex is an interesting one. Not everyone is as sensitive to it, alcoholics are really weak in regards to seeing and feeling it, i have no idea why. I mean alcoholics who drink all the time, those in recovery can see and feel it. Some people are super sensitive to it.

It sounds like bullshit, but I think of it as ordinary, certainly not supernatural to me.

Maybe I am wrong though and it is not the aura, maybe it is something else. I have no idea what. It reminds me of a transparent field of fire with a very subtle blue/purple tone.

It's called bio-photonic emission and it's in samll amounts. Its even throught that our dna binds around water and tiny photons band around the proteins of our dna in helical like arrangements :shock:

 

[Vodsel]

Thanks for the tips. I will keep it in mind and try, since according to your description any form of interaction should rule out curious optical effects.

I am not a hard-core skeptic, but I guess I am still in need of having a shaking experience when it comes to ESP and other strange manifestations... at least in order to interpret them beyond strictly physical parameters. Until then, I will stay in the assumption that aura = bioelectric field.
