While adults wonder if seeing the aura is something made up, children will ask about the colors that surround people. Some children can even see colors where there are no people. They describe them as angels or spirits. Still others can see what most people call ghosts.
What children are reluctant to tell us
Not long after a friend of mine began researching energy-based healing and learning about the human energy field, she was in the car with her 5-year-old granddaughter. She impulsively asked her granddaughter, “Do you see colors around my body?” There was silence. After a few moments, the kindergartner, looking rather uncomfortable, said, “You mean the yellow and green around you?”
Many children will report seeing colors around people. If they tell their parents something, the reaction can range from amusement at an active imagination to anger that they are making something up.
Some children are frightened by what they perceive visually. A boy screamed in terror because he woke up and a woman he didn’t know was standing next to his bed. As soon as he yelled, she disappeared. This same child reported beautiful lights in the room that he described as angels.
I am convinced that babies, who often do not look at anyone, but often look around, are actually seeing the aura, the energy field around the body. The colors of the aura are constantly changing. For a baby who delights in everything new that she is investigating, the ever-changing colors must be a lot of fun.
Adult beliefs inhibit children
Talents and abilities are strengthened when they are affirmed and nurtured. Someone with musical talent will be able to develop that talent if they are given lessons and taught to improve it through practice. The same is true for the ability to perceive the aura. If this ability is asserted, the child will continue to use it. If the child is teased or punished, she will stop using it and forget that she could see those colors.
If an adult believes that there is only one way to see the world, this belief is passed on to the younger generation. If the adult is open to other ways of seeing things, young people intuitively know that they have permission to explore experiences that not everyone has access to.
There is a part of us that is beyond the physical. Most people know that there is a spiritual aspect to human beings. However, few are aware that the human body is made up of different vibrations of energy and that it is possible to see these different vibrations. Babies may come into this world able to see these subtle energies, but lose the ability through lack of affirmation or fear of being ridiculed or punished.
