preoccupations in life, you should consider redecorating the walls
of the rooms in which you spend most of your time. Certain
varieties of white paint and wall renderings have a magic effect:
whenever someone stands in front of them you automatically start
seeing halos of light.
7.4 The white shawl
When practising the techniques of eye contact regularly with the
same friend(s), it can be a good idea to wear a white shawl that
covers your clothes. (No need to cover your head, just wear it on
your shoulders.) It makes it significantly easier to see auras and it
attracts all sorts of good vibrations. On the contrary, black or
dark clothes make the task of seeing more arduous. Wear the
white shawl when practising alone too, in front of the mirror.
For the shawl you can use cotton, silk or linen... but no synthetic
fibres. Wear it whenever you meditate, and it will concentrate the
energy of your meditation. The shawl will slowly be charged with
a protective power that will become more and more tangible: each
time you put it on your energy will be activated and you will feel
a certain wellbeing. Do not let anybody else use your shawl, or else
all your work may be lost in a few minutes.
I suggest a shawl because it is extremely simple to make: there is
nothing to sew, you just need a pair of scissors! (A size of 1 metre
by 2 or 2.5 is usually suitable.) But a dress could also be designed.
Monks’ robes were originally designed to play a role in energy
concentration and protection, even though this knowledge came to
be lost. Maybe it's time for a new generation of ‘garments for
energy’ to be designed.
Before resuming the techniques of vision, I would suggest that you
re-read the advice given in Chapter 1.
7.5 The basic technique for seeing an aura
The following procedure is one of the most direct ways to see an
aura, or to get in touch with somebody's guides.
You can sit in front of each other at the regular eye contact
distance of about 90 centimetres, or allow a bit more space between
the two of you, as in a normal conversation situation. Even better:
start in an eye contact position, and then repeat the practice in a
more relaxed and casual position, comparing your results.
Close your eyes for 1 or 2 minutes, breathing with the throat
friction. Operate a reconnection with the space in the eye by doing
