Translating a flavor or smell into a color trains your brain to grasp half of the aura seeing process. I refer to it as feel-seeing.

What resulted for both me, my Leo friend, and my Pisces ex, was an ability not only to see colors in people's auras, but shapes and patterns too. Especially with that Aqu rising, I would guess it may be a matter of pushing rationality aside, and placing value in what your imagination perceives. The best advice I could give anyone for seeing auras is, "Don't expect to see anything, just accept what happens" The less you expect, the more complex your ability to see becomes.

There are a couple pretty basic practices you can do which can result in at least seeing energy automatically (perception of color often comes after you learn to feel-see energy).

1. Sit in a dim to dark room (so perhaps while you are laying in bed). Close your eyes and just observe what you see (often people describe this as television fuzz). Now open your eyes, and you will notice the fuzz doesn't go away. In fact, you should notice the fuzz collects around objects like your hand, or the trees outside your window.

2. In a dim to dark room, open your palms in front of you and face them toward your self. Bring your hands together so the tips of your fingers are touching. Take three relaxing breaths, if you did the first exercise you will see the fuzz around your hand and fingers. Pull your fingers about 2 inches away from each other so a space is formed between your hands. Now move your hands up and down slowly in opposite directions. You may notice strings of fuzz connecting tips of your previously touching fingers, and as you move your hands, the strings stretch to compensate for the movement.

The Leos I know who understand energy and auras have a fantastic capacity for understanding. I hope you can find a way that works for you, it makes for hours of entertainment.

There is a great book called "Hands of Light" which gets into some of the deeper aspects of seeing patterns in auras. and how to start seeing them. Oh also, what you see is based on what you feel and imagine. There are some generalities with colors, but be willing to accept what you feel and see as your own energetic language, not everyone sees the same colors as meaning the same things. Red to one person may seem like passionate love, where another person may see anger and abuse. The feeling is an important guide.

When I was in kindergarten I remember vividly seeing colors around people. I thought this was normal and if I drew portraits, I drew these colors around their heads and bodies too. My mom said I'd carefully pick the right pencils and draw them neatly around the humans lol. Too bad my teachers and my parents insisted -demanded- me to stop doing this. Now come to think of it, these are perhaps auras I saw?

I don't see these colors anymore and want to be able to do it again. I really wish guides like this would work for me, for some reason it makes me super tired ... perhaps I want it too much. Keep practicing I guess.

My bf's mom is predominantly Leo/Scorp and she's able to see auras too! According to her, mine is all light blue: mostly sky blue, and then turqoise & aquamarine.
