The book also includes a detailed history of the study of the aura, as well as practical exercises for readers who wish to develop their own ability to perceive and interpret the aura.

very informative and educational

This book was a godsend to demystifying the human energy field. It is not at all full of mystical mumbo-jumbo as other new age books, but is in all essence the work of a sincere scientist in the medical field of his time. In a time where empiricism was beginning to reign, Dr. Kilner's pioneering research in an otherwise "unknown" domain is, in my opinion, very much needed in our modern fascination with the mysteries of alternative medicine paradigms. What I really appreciated is his honest and sincere documentation of his personal experiments with blue cyanin-dyed goggles that enabled him to "see" auras around human beings while at the same time not claiming any "occult" powers or clairvoyance. Instead, he honestly documents his findings in a very scientific and objective manner, and any sincere student of alternative medicine will find his work most enlightening. I hope his work gets the recognition that it deserves in our post-modern era.

The great parapsychology book looking at Auras with science

This book should be an inspiration to all parapsychologists. He stays completely in the realm of science careful not to sway the audience. His main acheivement is proving the existence of the Aura. Yet, he goes further trying to find applications to his discovery. He surveys some people to get a general idea of the norm conditions of a healthy person. He also tries looking at a few sick people to see if the physical can cause auric effects. He asks his readers if they can continue investigating his findings by providing the screens neccessary for auric sight. Yet, the screens aren't provided any more which makes this book its only flaw. That, however, does not sway my decision about this book being one of the greatest science books written and any laymen can follow without any problems understanding. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. One of the greatest parapsychologists ever.
