Contributing author Julia Melges Jablonski writes in CAPTURING THE AURA, "Traditional science typically stands at the edge of the known world and tries to move into new territory using 'maps' of the already-conquered territory as guides. This scientific approach tends to blind them to the potential scope of the vast unknown territory ahead. Non-traditional researchers, inventors, and thinkers, on the other hand, tend to use a 'plane' to fly into the wilderness and then work their way back, and in the process, they create the maps for the less daring to follow after them."

Our knowledge of the human aura, subtle energy bodies, nadis, chakras, and acupuncture meridians has historically resided primarily with those guides we entrust to inform us: energy healers, shamans, lightworkers, mystics, priests, and others. Only in relatively recent years has modern-day technology allowed everyday people to begin to view the aura in much the same way that these spiritual masters have been seeing it for years. CAPTURING THE AURA describes a variety of imaging techniques, such as kirlian photography, full-body imaging, and interactive imaging, as well as providing useful information about auric sight, breath techniques, qi, and the emotions that accompany various auric colors.

What I love most about CAPTURING THE AURA is the way the contributing authors each share their own areas of experience after they've "flown their planes into the wilderness and worked their way back" -- thereby providing readers with invaluable maps we can put together into a bigger picture. This book contains one of the best compilations of modern-day knowledge concerning seeing and understanding the human aura with contributions from: C.E. Lindgren, Blythe Arakawa, Jacques Beauchamp, Robert Bruce, Fritjof Capra, Guy Coggins, Ruby K. Corder, Janice Dye, Gerald Owen Grow, Arnold Keyserling, Ralph Losey, William T. McClellan, Rosalee Elizabeth McCurdy, Susana Madden, Andrine Morse, Buryl Payne, Margo von Phul, Chip Weston, and Richard Bernard Wigley.

Bravo! This book is perhaps the most important work on auras to date. The book contains the works of leading scientists, educators, and psi researchers. According to the book's introduction: "You are not alone... As you will see, perhaps feel, through this book, many people (i.e. scientists, inventors, scholars, and lay individuals) already spend considerable time exploring consciousness through different avenues. Using skills, talents, and innovative technology, these dedicated "searchers" explore the correlation between personal and collective consciousness and diverse phenomena such as quantum physics, wormholes, multi-dimensions, chakra sounds, electronics, and metaphysics. Often, initially motivated by curiosity, these individuals soon turn their avocations into lifelong passions. At a time in history when the world is overshadowed by wars, natural disasters, and uncertainty, the sun continues shining for everyone who dares go beyond the visual linearity of mundane situations and accepts the potentiality that Creation is motivated by Love and a supreme universal intelligence. This intelligence is part of mankind, as mankind is a part of the God energy and auric fields of the Cosmos. This work offers an opportunity for the reader to become a part of something bigger and more perfect than he/she could ever imagine - a world, a dimension, and universe intermingled with energy fields, magnetic forces, and unimaginable electromagnetic vibrations of light and sound. Capturing the Aura will introduce you into a new Era where humans are invited to use their creativity, love, passion, and mental ability constructively in making a better world from themselves and humanity as a whole. Let us, therefore, keep an open mind and heart in sharing a vision of a better potentiality. A potentiality which we each must activate through the reading of our Cosmic blueprint - life itself.

Fortunately, this book was a gift and so I didn't waste any money on it, but I found it an amusing romp through a bunch of flimsy psuedo-science. Some people have no shame, really. The concept of auras has been so thoroughly debunked that it's unbelievable that this book could be published in the 21st century. If you like non-fiction, as I do, I would recommend you avoid this book and instead read about the "magical" Northern Lights, the unbelievable migration of birds, the incredible social complexity of insects, the heavenly surprises discovered by science, or the mind-expanding beauty of the Grand Canyon. Otherwise, you might as well just read fiction.

Poor poor and did I mention this book was poorly written? Never ceases to amaze me how certain new age flim flamers decide to make science prove certain things such as auras...science cant even prove relativity how could it prove auras? Im not saying Auras dont exist...Im just saying they cant be captured by a camera lens. Give me a break, anyone who has ever studied photography will know the lens is not some 4th-5th dimensional viewing that sees into the spiritual realm...if that was the case each picture we took would be full of guides and angels and devas and auras of trees and people....yet you go to these "aura camera" and they put you in a lower lit area...almost with a black tint or shade and they take you picture and out comes you with an aura...Con job and that pretty much sums the content of this book. Dont bother buying it unless you are masochistic.
