Human Body Light Linked to Metabolic Cycles

Light emitted by the human body is strongest around the head and face, as has been portrayed for millennia as a human halo.

Science may have taken another step toward validating human auras ~ something well known to psychics and seers the world over for millennia ~ due to recent research on faint light emitted by the body.

Earlier research has shown that the body emits visible light ~ 1,000 times less intense than levels to which our eyes are sensitive ~ but scientists in Japan recently employed extraordinarily sensitive cameras to learn more. They placed male volunteers in their 20s in front of the cameras in complete darkness for 20 minutes every three hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for three days.

They were able to determine that the body emits a visible light at levels that rise and fall with the day, with its lowest point at 10 a.m. and its peak at 4 p.m., dropping gradually after that. This suggests that light emission is linked to metabolic rhythms that fluctuate over the course of the day.

Researchers said the light emissions were strongest from the subjects’ heads, especially from their faces.

Since this faint light is linked with the body's metabolism, it suggests super-sensitive cameras might be capable of identifying medical conditions. "If you can see the glimmer from the body's surface, you could see the whole body condition," said researcher Masaki Kobayashi, a biomedical photonics specialist at the Tohoku Institute of Technology.

Hi,
Nice information. No need of cameras. We can easily see the human aura just by doing some little practice. Find more information about how to see human aura? from this blog.
Nice information.
Your blog is really very informative.
Cool blog and keep it up.
:-)

Interesting information. I hope soon, we can get photos of our aura ;)
Nice information.
Cool blog and keep it up.

another subject i'm really interested in and any updates are really welcomed...

yes even our daily experiences reveal to us the existence of this aura especially in the face...


thanks for this...

Welcome to each of you, and thank you for your comments.

It's interesting how the existence of auras is so apparent ~ even if many of us cannot clearly perceive them.

It pleases me when "science" begins to validate such things and moves steadily to an honest exploration of the parapsychological and metaphysical realms.

To Human Aura, I eagerly look forward to exploring your blog, and I greatly appreciate your compliment.

To Rose, thank you as well for your compliment.

And to Human Being, I agree that our faces and the faces of those around us emit much more information and emotion than just through facial expressions. And you're correct, our "daily experiences" are the proof.
