To this point I've experienced two different kinds of effects when practicing aura viewing. One is the kind I described previously where I saw fine lines and details but no color, and another is when everything sort of turns to blobs and negatives and I can't make out anything.

I think the first kind would be more useful if I'm actually trying to discern something. I was able to achieve it three times in one day, pretty much instantaneously, but since then I haven't managed to reproduce it. As far as I can tell, the second kind probably isn't aura seeing at all. Can anyone provide feedback or suggest what I might be doing wrong?
