Seeing the aura is a matter of taking your eyes slightly out of focus. If youve ever been able to see those holographic picture-in-a-picture things then you shouldnt have any trouble seeing auras as you do exactly the same thing with your eyes.
The first time I was at a seminar and this topic came up I had no luck whatsoever with seeing the auras of the other folks in the seminar. That night I went over to the bookstore and grabbed a bunch of the holograph picture books and sat there til I could relax my eyes and see them. The next day when I went back for the rest of the seminar I didnt have any trouble seeing the auras of the other attendees.
Have your training partner stand in front of a light-colored wall in a dimly lit room. Have your partner hold one finger in front of their face about 6 inches out from their chin. Now focus your eyes on their finger, not their face. Have them remove their finger but keep looking at the same spot. Youll have to relax your eyes a bit to do this. Now, using that same relaxed vision, if you look at them you should be able to see what looks like a little line that runs all around them a couple of inches out from their body....
