The word aura is derived from the Greek "avra" meaning breeze. Just as breezes come in many forms, so do auras: warm, gulf winds...cold gusts...autumn breezes... hurricanes... perhaps there is something to the expression of "being blown away." Like a breeze, the aura is a moving field able to be registered by the things it affects.. .like a rippling meadow. The aura is an electromagnetic field of energy surrounding and permeating all living forms. Everything living has one and, like snowflakes, each one is unique. Clairvoyance is the ability to see auras. The clairvoyant experience is also unique in that two "psychics" looking at the same aura are likely to see differing manifestations of the same field. This is because each person's psychological filtering mechanism is somewhat unique, as well. There are no "clear channels" just different interpretations.
