Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I just got done reading this article:

http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm

And I tried to see my own aura through a mirror. It said to be in front of a white background and to focus on one point (like the brow chakra) for 30-60 seconds and pay attention to what your periphrial vision sees.
Well, I did this, but I'm not quite sure what to make out what I saw. First of all, I couldn't make out any colors surrounding me and second, what I DID see was my face kept going really dark and old-looking. I was kinbd of scared by this. I'm thinking this could be because I'm sick(ish) right now, kind of unmotivated lately and I don't think I was concentrating hard enough.

Any tips (concerns?!)?

If you don't have tips or any experience seeing auras, I HIGHLY recommend that link I provided. It's got some SWEET AWESOME information.

Yeah it can do that, and being sick wouldn't have helped because depending on the area being affected it will make your aura darker in places. So if you have a cold, throat or ear infection the area around your head will be darker. But then you may have been concentrating too hard.

Next time you are brushing your teeth focus on the tooth brush and brushing. Then out of the corner of your eye see if you notice a haze around your head. Some people may not be able to see colours. I think Edgar Cassie (sp) only saw white and dark, but I have to double check that one.

Another suggestion is to use your finger tips. You won't see your full aura but it might give you some practice.

in front of a white surface touch the finger tips of both hands together and just look as the finger tips for a moment. Then slowly separate them you should see a faint haze and possivly some colourings.

On certain websites, they say your aura is like a giant colored flame. When I see the aura, however, it is like an outlie of the object (hand, head, finger, ect.)) How I see the aura is that i usually don't look directly at it, i unfocus my eyes and look out of the side of my eye. It could take meditation and and relaxed concentration. Just build up your aura. I got started here. it may help you. http://www.spellsandmagic.com/

I wish you the best of luck and mood rings can also display your aura. So, try and buy one of those If you want.

Later.
