This is the best way I found to see auras...
1. Use either a solid dark or white background, some prefer a dark one and some prefer a white one (at the present I prefer a white background). Now dim the lights, pull the curtains, or if it's dark outside then just turn on a dim lamp.
2. Now focus on the person, if there is no other person then you can practice on your own hand (I will use the hand as an example but you do the same with another person and you might find it easier to see their aura while looking at their head). While looking, don't stare directly at your hand, look just past it at the background (your hand is in your peripheral view now). Keep looking and you will see a slight glow fading out from your hand. (to make sure, if you think it's an after image just close your eyes until the image goes away then try again) after seeing the glow there will be a slight colored band form next your hand. That is the aura.
