There are many ways of doing this. My very first attempt entailed using a mirror in the bathroom with a white sheet over the shower curtain behind me to act as a white background, and a dim light for the check. Eventually the relaxed focus became possible and the steamy vapor of the innermost level became visible.

But I needed a little more validation than that. I knew people who could see auras, of others anyway, in bright colors, and a tenuous vapor that could have been due to eye fatigue didn’t seem too much of an achievement.

When I was young, about seventy years ago, very few people had even heard of the word aura. Just about everyone nowadays knows something about auras. And quite often what they know is acquired from someone who doesn’t see auras. Then it’s often a case of the old proverb…" It ain’t what people don’t know that’s the problem…it’s what they do know that ain’t so."
