The aura is seen as a dim colored light about the body.

To see the aura one only needs to look for it, like an echo or an odor you don't notice it at first as its always there, to help see one first just clear your mind of all thought, silence if you will, then look gently to the third eye on the person you wish to see. Soon you will see something like unto the heat waves given off of a hot car in summer...then just ask "what color is this I see?" and a color will appear, don't look directly at the aura at first as it will disappear at first just try to catch it out of the corner of your eye until you have had a bit of practice. Also the aura grows brighter and easier to see the longer a person is in the same place.

It's easier to see it at first on a person standing in one place than a person walking.

Sometimes the background color has a lot to do with how easily you see the aura. I prefer seeing them with a light background others prefer dark backgrounds.
