The Aura Portrait shown opposite is provided as an example of what an aura can look like when seen by a trained clairvoyant and subsequently recorded on paper. Grey paper is used so that any white in the aura can be properly shown. The chakra centres are clearly defined in this example, the different colours present indicating the way in which each centre is functioning at the time. The basic aura colour here is indigo blue. The upper body colours indicate a good deal of mental and spiritual activity taking place, although the dark blue bars at the knee and shin level indicate there has been some sense of restriction in recent months.
