worth it or not?

I've never done it ,but find it interesting. I know a woman whop sees auras - she is such a sweet, kind, shy woman - if it were anybody else I would have been skeptical - but because of her I believe! :) She also has pointed things out to myself & others in aura photographs. I still have a hard time with the photography thing (my logical mind getting in the way!) - but I trust her, so I would be very interested in getting it done!

Okay, I'm in the dark here. What is aura photography? It sounds interesting/

I did it a few years back at a whole life expo I went to. Very interesting. I think it was $10 - can't remember for sure. I would say it was worth it. It seemed pretty accurate and *very* interesting. I see auras on some people sometimes and it is pretty cool. It depends on my own state of receptivity whether or not I see anything. It took me a long time to make the connection between what I see (or think I see ;) ) and what it is.

My mom and I had it done years (1991?) ago at a whole life expo.
And it was not surprising imo. My mom was like "WoW" but I was like "Yeah? I knew that already"

For $10 it was not a big deal and sort of fun.
I've had many friends over the years who can see auras so it's totally not a big deal to me. kwim?

I've read all the skeptic stuff on it and that is fine and dandy also. I figure we all have to believe in what we want to believe in and this is one of the things that works for me.

but what is it?

It's a photo of you, which is supposed to catch your aura around you. The color of it, the shape, etc.

I've never had it done.

In the spring I see auras of growing masses, like the forest, or a large grouping of bushes, but have never seen a human's aura. It's not something I know if I can learn or not. I don't bother, since I would be afraid that I'd put all this effort into it, then want to help people, then tell them and then but brushed off as a quack. I couldn't take that rejection.

I'd say for 10$ it's worth it, if you have 10$ you can spare. I'm not sure I believe it works, but I'd like to see how it compares to the truth.

Or maybe I ought to bring my ficus in in the springtime while I can see it's aura, (which is rare, because it's not dense enough for me to pick up on it's aura) and see if it matches. THere's an idea.... I wonder what the photographer would think of that. :D

Okay, now that I'm ready to be labeled as an ignoramus. Tell me more. How does one see an aura - and then how do I know that I don't see an aura or, rather, that I do?
How does the photographer capture something that isn't supposed to be tangible on film? not sure if tangible is the right word or not...

Here's some info.

I'm just searching not reviewing so take it or leave it.

I can only speak for myself about how I see an aura. I saw them for a long time (most of my life really) before I figured out what it was.

If I look very intently at someone/something but without focusing on the details of the person/object (I have seen an aura around trees and other *living* non-human beings) after some time I will begin to see a misty sort of glow around them. It is more intense close to the person and fades as it goes out. Sometimes there is a change of colors, but most often I just see a simple one color. At first I thought it was just my eyes and fatigue that was making the glow happen. It never occured that I could be seeing an aura. It doesn't go away if I blink, rub my eyes, etc. once I have focused on it until I look away at something else. I cannot simply on will see them either. I suppose if I honed my skill I could but I really don't have that much motivation to do so. As it is now, it seems that there are simply some people/beings that I am more receptive to seeing. I don't know if the difference is in me or them...probably a little of both.

I will look around to see if I can find my aura picture and post it if I can. It is really pretty cool.
