Cause I can see your aura and it's ugly
Your spirit must be rotten to the core
To a new-age guy like me you'll bring pain and misery
So dear I cannot love you anymore ...

Heh, that's kinda funny Bill! I'm getting this big leaky black hole in my aura just thinking about singing it though ... ;-)

Speaking about auras - weather permitting, I'm usually outside just before dawn, standing there practicing Qigong (a "soft" martial art like Tai Chi). As long as I don't look directly at them, I can always see a white cloud-like field surrounding the trees in the early morning half light.

Modern medical science has no problem accepting, measuring and studying various invisible "bio-electromagnetic" energies produced by the human body, mind and emotions - like brain-waves (through magnetic resonance imaging or CAT scans) or the galvanic skin response (increased heat and electrical energy produced by various emotional / mental states).   

Why then do the skeptics consider it so "flakey" to postulate that the human body - and in fact all living matter - generates and is surrounded by an "aura" - ie this same "bio-electromagnetic" field that lends itself so well to the instruments of scientific measurement? It only seems logical to me.
