Kirlian photos are beautiful, otherworldly pictures of what is believed to be the first layer of the auric field, the field that hugs your physical form tightly from about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch out from the body. The most well-known depiction of a Kirlian photograph was in the X-Files TV series when a blue outline of a hand-print was featured in the episode. These photos are taken with a special camera, not the same as the aura camera, and records a true picture. You may have seen the pictures of leaves with bright blue outlines, with little rays coming out from them, a corona effect like that which is around the sun. These are the Kirlian photos. I sure do wish I had one I could share with you right here in this course, but all are copyrighted and owned by those who took the pictures. Do a search on the internet for "kirlian photos" and you will find some of the most beautiful pictures you have ever seen!

Kirlian photos are named after Semyon Kirlian, who invented the Kirlian camera by accident He discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is subjected to a strong electric field of high voltage, an image is captured. These are the ghostly blue images that commonly appear as a glow around the object.

It appears that inanimate objects also have this corona effect around them as well, so there is some argument as to whether or not a Kirlian photo is an actual picture of the human aura. Scientists believe it may have something to do with moisture and surface pressure, similar to the galvanic skin response, but no one knows for sure. If you would like to build your own Kirlian camera and experiment, here are some free schematics and plans at http://cebunet.com/kirlian/plans.htm. It is rather technical and will only make sense to those techies who have a knack for electronics!
