9 year old niece seeing auras (and i'm jealous!!)

How wonderful!

I'm not too sure what to suggest. What do her parents think of the whole 'alternative' thing? I know some families who are very against encouraging anything out of the ordinary in children.

I think it would depend on the family feelings if you should guide her further.

I think you have done a great job explaining what a wonderful gift she already has, and it must be really difficult to know which direction to guide her.

Perhaps use your time together when you do see it to explore it in a light kind of way, maybe make it into a game when you're out shopping or something.

It's very common for young children to see auras. There are theories out there as to why children take to some people and not others: they match the person' aura with those of their parents. There will be plenty of time for development later on though, so I think keeping it fun and light will really help her.

On another note, I was stood by a cream wall in our house the other day and my husband looked up from his TV programme and said that I had a huge halo of white light surrounding my body. I nearly fell over as my hubby is so down-to-earth and very practical - he was a farmer for years. I didn't expect it to say the least! 😮

We sat down for the next hour and it actually transpired that he is quite clairvoyant and often gets 'flashes' of images and scenes, sees colours often and has very strong intuition.

I don't think we ever lose the ability to 'see', I think for some people it just needs to be re-programmed into us. I'm sure your niece will retain this gift and having a super-sensitive aunt around her can only help her benefit herself and others in the future.

Love & light, Claire xxxx

That's a wonderful but also, as you indicate, tricky situation. For a few decades after 1900, in the organisation of Theosophy, quite a lot of children were raised to be highly clairvoyant, and had understanding parents, and some are still alive with their abilities to this day, in their 80s. One point is that they can lose this if not supported, which is the tricky part.

From recaling my own childhood at aht age, as I'm sure we can all realte to, just one book might be the key to it all, that, if given as a gift, if a child is allowed to retain it, it'll be a gem never to be forgotten.

So I'd suggest one or two books as a gift. Others might have suggestions. I'd suggest either (or both of) "The Kingdom of The Gods" by Geoffey Hodsen (see Amazon) but even more so, "The Real Worl of Fairies" by Dora van Gelder -

as this is a classic account of children who learned to interact with elementals. I suppose what might be in my mind is for your niece to progress from seeing human auras to seeing nature spirits and so forth.

Thank you for your kind replies - much appreciated. I think keeping it light and fun is the way - she is sooo much older for her age and has been through lots in her life so far so I don't want to frighten her off...
Crystal Witch - how wonderful that your husband has these amazing abilities and has now started to share them with you!!!
Lots of love and light

My wife developed full clairvoyance at the age of 9... many years ago now - but I would recommend encouragement and also prudence. In todays 'dim' society - many people misunderstand, fear or deny such abilities - so they do their best to cover them up with ignorant conditioning.
Your niece would be well recommended to keep her ability as her little secret - and only to let others know if she feels they can be trusted. Where she sees dark colours - generally these reflect the lower or more primitive characteristics, conversely - those with bright colours are more 'of the light'... dark greens will be envious and jealous, pinks will be affectionate, light blues can be calming and soothing people. Reds and oranges will be vitalised and energetic - or confident active people. Bright Red is not a bad colour - it is often present in the auras of medics and doctors. Brown - is unwholesome and black - wherever she sees black - she MUST learn to avoid such people wherever possible. The worst colour combinations will be swirls of red and black and mixes of dark red - these folk (at the time) be full of anger and temper. Black and yellow and mixes of dark yellow indicate the use of intellect for deciet and deliberate malific cunning. Yellow itself - particularly around the head are will show intelligence and intellect. Purple and yellow in combination will reflect the individual as quite spiritually advanced.
There are some good books on colour - but she's probably a little young at the moment.. I second Venetians comment on his recommended books - without a doubt; though they'd probably be more for your or her parents benefits at the moment. Still ; you could show her the pictures... DVG Kunz also did a book called 'The Personal Aura' - very good too.
The more your niece can be surrounded with Nature, natural conditions, countryside (the more wild the better) mountains and forests the better - especially if she then also begins to see the Devas and nature spirits - but that's a whole new subject...

Hi

My 10 year old daughter has been seeing auras since she was 8. She describes them as coloured lights around peoples bodies. She tells people how she thinks their feeling from the appearance of their auras.

She also speak of see coulred lights around her room at night when she is awake. I explained to her that this is probably angels watching over her.

Thank you all once again, you lovely kind people on advising me on my niece's abilities!:)
It was very interesting when we took her to the firework display this year - she came out with the comment to me- 'I see these colours every day, all around everyone.' She was also in discussion with someone we couldn't see ( she has always had 'imaginary friends'...).

Will explain to her about colours as she is always interested to know about their meanings. She remarked on seeing yellows around most of her family, but with me she sees blues and whites. (??) Will also try and get her into nature - we live by forests and nature trails so will get her out and about as much as we can!

Thanks once again - it's always nice to know there is support here when I need it.

Love and light

You could ask her what she sees around plants, trees and flowers... that might be interesting - she may not have even thought of looking for emanations from plants... or animals for that matter.

Hope I'm not putting a downer on this, but I seem to remember a consultant paediatrician saying that some forms of epilepsy in children they see auras. Worth getting kiddies checked out medically first.

Hi caringsoul,

It would be helpful to have a link or reference for that consultant statement. All the same, just IMHO, if children display no symptoms of illness at all (e.g. don't have seizures), then that which many of us accept to be a norm which does occur shouldn't be first seen as a possible "problem". Nor should the child be placed in a the position of possible minor trauma of having their gift psychologised, or even no doubt psychologised away.

How many consultants would conclude, "Oh, it's all fine, Mrs Jones. I've checked your Jenny out, and there's nothing wrong with her, so yes, she is seeing auras." :confused::rolleyes:

I just remember sitting in an OPD clinic when a paed consultant examined a child who saw auras. He ordered a EEG. As it was OPD I dont know what happened after that. An An Electro Encephalagram (EEG) would show results of any abnormal brain readings.
You may be right venetian but not convinced until medical tests were made.

"Oh, it's all fine, Mrs Jones. I've checked your Jenny out, and there's nothing wrong with her, so yes, she is seeing auras." :confused::rolleyes:

Seeing lights is one thing... seeing colours around people specifically - and different colours around different people is quite another... Looking at a man or woman and seeing this or that colour and then looking at a lampost or a dustbin and seeing nothing... that's when your 'Mr Average' psychologist might tend to make a sharp exit...
I think I remember someone saying they wished they could see auras... - you might deliberately get up extra early one morning - say 5am or so and then stay up awake, all day long and into the evening and through into the late evening - so you are really really tired and exhausted... At this point you might find it actually much easier to see energies around folk, particularly in a dimly lit room with perhaps candle light...
I sometimes have to go through this 'tiredness' thing because of circumstances and I always get to a stage where I see all sorts of things. Though I'd not say I have an opened ability of inner vision - it's there and comes and goes depending on my state of being at the time...
I do know an exercise of opening inner vision though and it usually works for people that I've been with at the time - but apologies I can't reveal that here for ethical reasons.
It's relatively simple to see Prana on a sunny day - and if you want to experiment in that direction - You might try to "see the air"...

kind regards

I know that's a concept from the Theosophical days of Besant and Leadbeater, and I once quite accepted it. I certainly see something. But I've never been convinced in later years that it isn't all the neuronal stuff going on in the back of our eyes.

As for hospital consultants deciding whether children (or adults) are or are not seeing auras, LOL, that'll be the day. (I mean, that really will be the Day, hey?) Though it will hardly be in a hospital! Some kind of expert institution in the Golden Age for the analysis and cultivation, and improving, of 'clear-seeing'.

caringsoul, I also do certainly take the point that some people "see things" through illness, just as schizophrenics hear voices (though I'm intrigued and wouldn't explain away those voices in fact). But I think Apollo covers it: actually seeing auras is a very specific thing and couldn't be mistaken. I was also thinking along the lines that if a child is perfectly normal, well, and mentally balanced in all other ways, a parent will 'know' all is OK.

I too have wondered about it - but took it a 'step further' and on more than one occasion I just sat and watched the 'invisible' energy mass move and sweep before me - as though invisibly blown by a wind that wasn't there. I saw the particles themselves 'appear then disappear' until I opened a little more and could see them continuously where they'd seem to join in twos, threes and more and then 'swing' as though carrying out a 'dance of life'. I figured that if it was a 'physical matter' that led me to experience these sights - I can't 'get' why there would be so many various things to observe... I have seen the aerial sprites flitting about on summer days - but have never yet seen them engaged with the prana - as I have been led to believe by those early writers... Perhaps I need to spend more time in visual study of the subject... It's been a while!

Well, the prana certainly is there to be seen, as real, authentic Kirlian photography demonstrates.
