2. The Colour Clarity Chart

 

This chart is comprised of small (six-inch-diameter) coloured circles against a white background. It is beneficial to make up as many different coloured circles as you can find. Coloured construction paper is effective and inexpensive. Cloth swatches can be used as well. You will need at least three colours, those of the primary set: red, yellow and blue. This exercise is even more effective if you construct inner circles for each of the seven colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). Make up as many colours and shades as you wish.

With this chart you are teaching the cones to recognize subtle colours that do not usually register. Take time to set the chart before you and place each coloured circle in the centre, one at a time. Gaze softly at it for five to ten seconds. If your colour has a specific name, mentally say it as you look upon it. You are teaching yourself to recognize and identify subtle colour variations. This can be done periodically. While you are sitting and watching television, have this chart and the coloured circles with you. Review several of them during commercials.

When you use this chart as a physical exercise, also use a second, all-white chart beside it. This second, plain white square should be hung level with the first, about one foot from it.

Focus on the coloured circle and try to see it as if it were a three-dimensional coloured ball or a coloured hole within the white square. Use the drawing motion from the previous exercise and allow your eyes to be drawn within that red circle and then back out. Repeat this a number of times until you feel yourself going in and out of that circular hole.

Now bring your eyes to the outer edge of the coloured circle and slowly begin to encircle it with your eyes in a clockwise direction. Repeat this four to five times and then reverse the direction for an equal number of repetitions. Make sure you are moving your eyes and not your head.

When the rotations have been completed, quickly move your focus to the blank white square. You will usually see an afterimage appear upon it. Afterimages are not part of the aura. They usually seem to float in front of the charts or the point of focus. The afterimage does indicate that you have stimulated the cones and rods strongly. Pause, noting any responses or effects. If nothing seems to occur, repeat the exercise again before moving on to another colour.

Part of the phenomena of afterimages is the experience of complimentary colours. Oftentimes the color circle will reveal itself on the plain white surface in its opposite colour. This can be likened to the astral counterpart of the color. As vibration translates itself

Eye lid enacts itself upon the more subtle planes of life, its frequency is changed to that which is more reflective of the energy of that plane. What would be red on t lie physical may translate as green on the astral. T'hey are opposite colours in the light spectrum, but they are actually just different frequencies. They are different expressions of the same energy applied to different dimensions of life.

This has been called the Law of Reversal, or a mirroring effect. If you look into a mirror, you see your image, but it is reflected in an opposite position. You are backwards. As you look and experience the subtle dimensions such as the astral plane of existence, this same effect occurs.

Remember that all planes and all energies interpenetrate with the physical, playing upon you and within you. Part of working to see and read auric fields involves increasing your awareness of these more subtle dimensions.

Eventually you will also see other colours surrounding this afterimage. These other colours indicate you are beginning to achieve results. They are subtle light emanations you did not detect during the initial exercise. Shortly after this, colours will begin to be observed during the actual eye rotation.

Close your eyes and allow them to rest. Then move on and repeat the exercise with the next colour. Pay attention to what you experience. Do not be discouraged by failure to see colours or even afterimages during initial attempts. Practice and concentration will bring results. Go through as many colours as you can in a 10- to 15-minute period.
