AURA – WHAT IS IT?
- A THEORY FROM INFRARED LIGHT PERSPECTIVE -

I’d like to begin this text with my brother visiting me other day and being an inspiration to me to write this. He asked me: “Can you buy me a book about how to read Aura?” This was something I would be interested as well. I too was curious about Aura. I began to realise I never asked this question, what is Aura? Why I never asked? I think I was either in awe of the word or I just didn’t have time to do anything about it. Now, here is a chance where I could do something to satisfy my curiosity and yours too.

I have managed to do tackle the Question do some research and be able to approach it in a scientific way which will be sharing all in here. Here on this text I will try to edify the subject, be argumentative and try to look from scientific perspective as in this case infrared light perspective.  

What do we mean by Aura?

Let me first begin what the word Aura actually means conceptually? To be concise; Aura is a light radiating from a human body. Light surrounds them and some people has the ability to see it. The intensity or the colour of this light changes depending on what people feel, do and their well-being.  

I have read couple of books about the subject. In fact there are not many books written about it on what it is. The only book I have found in the whole of London Public Libraries website was this: ‘Auras: what they are and how to read them’ by Joseph Ostrom only 144 pages. Another book I could find and that was online was: ‘Auras: See them in only 60 seconds’ by Smith, Mark only 139 pages. I immediately grabbed them and began reading. Unfortunately they weren’t quite satisfactory explaining what Aura actually is.

According to these books, this is how Aura can be seen by a naked human eye; on one particular line which caught my attention was that a hand or body is held against a solid background usually white in a sunlight environment. Focusing on the edges of the shape of the body we began to see some light. Usually white and with practice we may see other colours of light as well.

Even though these books didn’t explain what this phenomena scientifically. Still reading these books gave some way to have a look at it. It made to be able to think at least with some perspective even though they didn’t contain any meaningful perspective. I have thought there must be a way to explain this phenomena thoroughly through scientific method. Since I was not able to find any satisfactory explanation, evidence or a proof so far to my research. What I can do in this case since as it’s the same with all phenomena in a scientific method is to develop a theory firstly then try to prove it with evidences and repeatable tests.

Why do I do it? At the moment I don’t like where Aura phenomena stands in a scientific context. I do believe there is an explanation to this phenomena in a scientific way. On this text I do not think I have achieved proving this phenomena through scientific method but I do think I have achieved getting this phenomena a bit closer to scientific method as I can.

The Theory

The theory I have managed to develop as can be understood from the Title was this;

Aura is a light and this light is the Infrared Light

Yes, I’m not only saying Aura is a light, I’m also theorizing Aura is the Infrared Light.
You may not have heard the Infrared Light before so let me first explain what is the Infrared Light? But before that what is light? Not going into too much detail in short light is kind of a wave. This wave measured in wavelengths. There are many wavelength of light like red, orange, purple and blue…etc. All major wavelengths of light can be seen on a rainbow which reflected after a rainy day. These are the wavelengths of light that we can see and we call these wavelengths of light ‘The Visible Light’. Red light is highest wavelength and blue light lowest wavelength of the Visible Light.

There are many wavelengths of light other than the Visible Light like Infrared, Ultraviolet (UV), X-ray and Gamma. The Infrared Light has higher wavelength then red of the Visible Light. UV Light has lower wavelength then blue of the Visible Light. Gamma is the highest wavelength of all the Lights out there.

A naked Human eye are not able to see the Infrared Light or the UV Light, it can only see the Visible Light. There are some animals that can see the Infrared Light. The rattle snake for example has an ability to see the Infrared Light of bats and that’s how it’s able to hunt in total darkness. House flies has an ability to see only in the UV Light which makes them distinguish the Visible Light and  go to their target fast usually a mould or a bacteria which only visible under the UV Light.

All heat sources including living creatures generates the Infrared Light. A human creature has a temperature averages around 37°C. A stove fire has around 2000°C. The higher the temperature the higher wavelength of the Infrared Light.

The Aura wavelengths of the Infrared Light

The Infrared Light is close to red of the Visible Light in wavelengths. Red of the Visible Light has a wavelength of 620-700 Nano-meters and wavelength of the Infrared Light begins at 700 Nano-meters. As you can see they are very close to each other in wavelengths.

As I mentioned before normal Human eye are able to see all wavelengths of the Visible Light including red without any difficulty. Since beginning wavelength of the Infrared Light and end of red of the Visible Light matches similarity in wavelengths this suggest that if human eye can see red of the Visible Light we must also be able to see some or part of the Infrared Light as well. This might be possible with some training, training our eyes that is to see the Infrared Light, wavelengths of the Infrared Light. Not all the wavelength of the Infrared Light can be trained to see by a human eye. The parts of the Infrared Light that we may be able train our eyes to see and these wavelengths are usually I think ranges from 700 Nano-meters to 10 Micro-meters I call is ‘the Aura wavelengths of the Infrared Light’.  

Diagnosing conditions with Aura

As I have mentioned on the previous paragraph the Average Human Body Temperature is 37°C. Depending on day, night, mood, feelings or well-beings this temperature fluctuates with a difference of 1.5°C so it can be as low as 36.5°C or as high as 38°C. This is normal temperature fluctuations. It has been seen to be as low as 35°C and as high as 41.5°C. These temperatures are abnormal, critical and can be life threatening.

A person who has trained to see the Aura has also ability to see these minute fluctuations of temperature of a human body. A person who can see Aura is actually seeing these fluctuations of temperature of a human body. From what colours, intensity of colours, where colours are intensified they see they may be able to diagnose his/her rough condition and this diagnosing condition may be improved on how long they have trained and experienced seeing Aura. The colours in Aura comes from as it is same with the Visible Light; lower infrared light translated in our brain as bluish and higher infrared light translated as orangey and reddish and other colours are being in between. 

For example a person who is happy all the time must have higher body temperature therefore higher wavelength of the Infrared Light. A person who is constantly thinking about suicide and had couple of attempts in the past must have a lower body temperature. In other words colder wavelength of the Infrared Light. It has been scientifically demonstrated that people with psychiatric disorders has lower eye temperature.

A person who has the condition of prostate cancer. Prostate part of his body might be colder then rest of his body. It might be colder because there are abnormal growth of cells in his prostate. This part of his body will not generate as much of the Infrared Light as the rest of his body. It will diagnosable by an Aura trained person.

Infrared Map of Human Body

Not all of human conditions can be diagnosed with Aura. Conditions like diabetic, visceral fat, cholesterol, blood pressure or any other condition that might not reflect any of the Infrared Light. The 1.5°C human body temperature fluctuation difference is a really a low fluctuation difference to be able to distinguish all the conditions of a human being like from sickness to happiness or from cancer to hemorrhage. Also to note there might be a 1/10 of a degree of centigrade of difference or lower between conditions.

In other words a person who is trained to see Aura actually sees an infrared body map of a Human Being and through this map to be able to diagnose a condition.

There are a lot of scientific research needs to be done about ability to see Aura and if temperature fluctuation really reflect a condition of a Human Being.  This text is just a theory but let’s realise every scientific method begins with a theory. At least beginning is here.  

Future Technology

It is very difficult to measure all temperature fluctuations of a human body all at the same time with our current technology. The accuracy of temperature measuring devices are very low. They can only measure one point at a time. At the moment they measure the core temperature of a human body via ear or rectum.

There are infrared cameras that can measure the Infrared Light but their resolution is very low. They can’t distinguish a temperature fluctuation between 37.1°C and 37.2°C for example. The best ones have an accuracy of 2% which useless when it comes to infrared mapping of a human body.

But technology is hopeful with new infrared cameras coming to the Market each year them being higher and higher resolution and improved accuracy. Who knows soon we might be able to see that these cameras matching the resolution of a human eye and in fact this type technology might even be as close match as to a person who is well trained to see Aura.
