All living things have an "aura" surrounding their bodies. This aura may vary (as in casting a glow), in intensity and distance from the body. The aura should be symmetrical (as in a ball) with the body at the very center. A perfect shape means the individual is in harmony with all things around them. When an individual is sick, physically and/or mentally, the aura's shape would be skewed (top, bottom or sides - not resembling a ball).

There are devices today that have the capability to let us see an aura. Our device, has the same capability but it does not allow us to physically see the aura. What it does allow us to do is measure the aura by finding the boundaries or the outside edges, of an aura. We are able to measure the top, bottom and sides and can tell if an aura is not perfectly symmetrical. To measure an aura, we mark the outside edge of the sides (left and right), then we measure the top and bottom by rotating the the aura 90 degrees, and do the measurements in the same manner as the sides.

When an individual is healthy (mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically), the aura is a "light purple" color. When an individual experiences an illness or an internal physical breakdown, a "white aura" appears around that area. The intensity of the "light purple aura" versus the "white aura" of the illness or internal breakdown, will vary. An individual's aura vanishes when the individual dies. All other living "kingdoms," i.e., insects, animals, reptiles, have different colors of auras for each.

Why would we measure a person's aura? There is a viable potential for understanding an individual's aura, here's some examples. 1) In the medical field, a patient's aura is "not perfectly balanced. Medical personnel can monitor a patient and determine whether the patient is getting well, worse, or remain the same. 2) In the field of the paranormal, "gifted" individuals (auras) tend to be larger than the average individual, and increases in size as they sharpen their skills. 3) The average individual's aura rarely extends beyond their outstretched arms. Aura's could be monitored for their intellectual progress.

There may be other uses for wanting to look at auras, that could be of benefit to the individual, as well as in understanding "auras." The focus here is to provide another means to aid in healing, sharpening talents, and or improving intelligence.

There are ll types of auras. This came about as a result of an investigation of a reader's email inquiry (see "11 Types of Auras").
