This book gave drills on how to TOUCH and feel and aura that worked well for me. I found I could really percieve this. It also explained the various layers of the aura, and I was surprised in this that I have always been able to see one part - the spiritual aura - as sort of a glow. I thought I wasn't really seeing auras because I couldn't see colors! Ater reading the book, I walked around malls and other places to look at people. Out of all those people, I succeeded in seeing only TWO auras. A man with a yellow aura, and a woman with a pink one. That's not much, but it's a start.

There was stuff in there about numerology that did not work for me. According to Kirlian photograhpy I have an indigo aura. According to numerology, I have a gold aura. Shucks. Gold is prettier!

I got the book from a library, and am considering purchasing a copy for myself because I found the information about the various colors was sufficiently useful to become a reference.

I found Webster's "Aura Reading for Beginners" informative without being overwhelming. Since I'm a beginner at reading auras, this book provided me with the tools to get started. It was presented in a matter-of-fact tone and had very clear instructions. The author goes through step by step how to start seeing your own aura and others' auras, then he progresses to seeing ground and radiant colors of the aura. There's also a section on aura clearing using various methods.

I've been trying to get started in taking the alternative path, but many of the books I've come across were either obscure or provided an overload of information. Webster makes aura reading accessible. My only suggestion to Webster would be to include in the next printing the types of music recommended for all chakras rather than just the first chakra. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone learning how to read auras.

If you really want a failsafe way to see the aura, I recommend Mark Smith's book "Auras- See Them In Just 60 Seconds". It's also on Llewellyn, and is more entertaining as well. Webster's book isn't bad, it's just not in the same class as Smith's.

Very well-researched and informative, Aura Reading for Beginners is an excellent primer. It includes activities, exercises and tips, as well as a couple of examples of how to do an aura reading. Webster several times describes what colors mean within different areas of the aura, as well as includes an appendix of key words relating to each color, and this can get a little repetitive, but it is better to be too thorough than leave something out. This is a very subjective process, and Webster stresses that each individual needs to find his or her own interpretations, but gives some excellent jumping-off points. My only complaint is that most of the exercises, especially the initial ones need to be done with a partner and not on one's own. It's easy to see why that's necessary, but it can be very difficult to find someone one trusts enough to perform these exercises with who also has an interest in this subject matter and doesn't sabotage one's attempts with their cynicism.
This is not a book to be read straight through, in fact I would recommend the reader completely master one technique prior to moving on to the next chapter. I didn't do it this way, and I wish I would have.

I bought this book for my Mom as a gift but I started reading it and wasn't done when I had to wrap it up and give it to her so I'm ordering a copy for myself.

Yes, the tips in this book DO help you to see auras. Let me make it easy for you. Cross your eyes for a second and look above someones head. Tah Dah!! Is that an aura? Okay, let's say it is.

My issue with the book is that it also presented other "paranormal" actives which have been disproved, as fact. ie. dowsing.

Do yourself a favor. Before reading/buying this book read something by The Amazing Randy.

The book was delivered much sooner than I expected, howerver i thought i had ordered another book through Amazon that i have not received by Ernest Holmes. Not totally computer wise I may have not clicked enough times. may try again, two copies would not be a waste in my circle
