Auras: See Them in Only 60 seconds [Paperback]

Mark Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 8, 2002

That is a brave claim to make, especially in the title of a book. But it's true. When you practice the ten easy steps in this book, you will be able to quickly and easily see the aura. Dr. Raymond A. Moody, author of the famous book, Life After Life, read this book and wrote, "Hallelujah! I can finally see [auras] for myself. And I suspect many others will be probing this realm, too, with this guidebook in their hands."

Mark Smith, the author of Auras: See Them in Only 60 Seconds! (previously published as In A New Light), has hosted numerous seminars on auric vision. Now you can learn ó in the safety, privacy, and comfort of your own home ó what he has refined over years of study, practice, and teaching. In just one minute you will be able to see auras. The appendix shows you the ten steps to develop your auric vision and make it stronger, and gives a special way for you to see your own aura.

Learning to see the mysterious glow that surrounds the body is just the first step. As you rapidly increase your abilities you will be able to see a wide range of colors in the aura. The colors provide an amazing amount of information about a person. You will learn how to interpret the aura to determine everything from the physical health level of a person to how charismatic that person is.

If you want to learn to see and read the aura, this book is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended read for those interested in auras, February 14, 2004

This review is from: Auras: See Them in Only 60 seconds (Paperback)

"Auras: See Them in Only 60 Seconds" provides an interesting way of seeing auras quickly. In summary the author's suggested technique is to look at the person in the same way that you would a stereogram. By focusing not on the person but on a point about eighteen inches past them you will see a faint aura surrounding the person. This does work but the technique brings on some questions. The reason a stereogram works is because it causes a mild cross-eyed effect. Since this same technique is used here I thought that I would see if it created an aura around other things besides people. Sure enough, I was able to see an "aura" around books, boxes, bricks, and just about anything else that I looked at this way. So, my first impression was that this is not a credible way to see an aura but just the normal result of crossing your eyes. On the other hand, I tried it several times and did find that I started to see tinges of various colors around people that were not there around inanimate objects. All inanimate objects continued to just have the gray "aura". The effects of crossing your eyes should not cause colors to appear that are not there in the object. So, maybe there is something to this after all.

The book is well written and easy to understand. The instructions are explained well enough that it is easy to follow the suggested process. The author details clearly what to expect and how to interpret various results. He also covers chakras, common auras for various occupations, how the various colors should be interpreted, etc. All in all this is an interesting book on auras and deserves a recommended read status for those who are interested in the subject.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, February 5, 2004

This review is from: Auras: See Them in Only 60 seconds (Paperback)

I was looking for a book, which would allow me to see auras for myself. Unfortunately, this book disappointed me. It only has one short exercise (and it's in the attachment), and doesn't really give you much to practice. The whole book is all about how the author met different famous people, and what their auras are like.

I eventually found a book on auras by Ted Andrews "How to see and read human aura", which gave excellent exercises, lots of helpful and practical advice, explained difficulties that you may have to face, how to deal with them, and other "special effects" you may see (e.g. differences between aura and afterimage etc.) To those who really want to see auras for themselves I would recommend this book by Ted Andrews (it worked for me, after a week of practicing, I started seeing auras!!)

If you want to entertain yourself and read about how auras look like, and author's personal experience with auras, and not particularly seeking to seriously learn how to see it yourself, go ahead and buy this book by Mark Smith. After all, if you are serious about learning something, you KNOW 60 seconds is never enough. I wish I thought about this when I bought this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift for someone looking to learn the truth, December 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Auras: See Them in Only 60 seconds (Paperback)

For all the "New Age" hype out there, I found this book to be very grounded. It has the ring of truth to it. A friend recommended that I read this one over the dozens of other books on auras, and I must admit that by following the steps as presented, I was instantly (less than 60 seconds) able to see the outline around my own body in the mirror. If you don't see color right away, try thinking of different colors for a few seconds, and when you get to a color that is resonant with your own, you will probably see it. It took me a few minutes to see color, but the trick is to relax, and don't force it. Let the colors come to you naturally, and as the author says, "un-focus on your body, and look past your outline to see the field of light around the body". It looks very similar to "Touched By An Angel". Think of every holy picture you've ever seen, and realize we all have halo power. This is a great gift for anyone looking for the Divine Spark in all of us. Perfect for this time of year. Or anytime you are looking for the truth.
