AURAS & KIRLIAN PHOTOGRAPHY
An aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation supposedly surrounding a person or object like the halo or aureola of religious art. The depiction of such an aura in religious art usually connotes a person of particular power or holiness.
Aura have been classified into two or three main types, including etheric, main, and spiritual. Various books have been written that derive various personality traits based upon the specific colors of the different layers of the aura. Auras are thought to be related to the etheric subtle body and to serve as a visual measure of the state of the health of the physical body. Auras are not thought to be actual light but a translation of other unknown sensory readings that is added to our visual processing.
While Aura photography is reportedly used to document Auras, it is often mistaken with Kirlian photography, which is a completely different photographic process.
In Kirlian Photography, a colorful image is produced of a person's face and upper torso by interpreting galvanic skin responses and adding color to the photograph using a printer . The images made with an Aura camera do not result from coronal discharge. In aura photography, no high voltage is involved as with the Kirlian technique, and no direct contact with the film is made.
