A photographic process involving high frequency electric currents, discovered by S.D. and V. Kirlian in the Soviet Union. Kirlian photographs are noted for showing brightly colored halos or "auras" surrounding objects.
Aura or energy field photography developed by Semyon and Valentina Kirlian in Russia, 1939. Taking pictures of the emanations and radiations surrounding objects and persons, which the human eye does not see.
Named after Semyon Kirlian who, in 1939, discovered - reportedly by accident - that when an organic or nonliving object is placed upon a photographic plate and subjected to a high electric current, a glowing "aura" forms around the object and is imprinted on the film. It is more accurate to say that rather than revealing a natural aura, this process produces such. However, fluctuations in the magnetic fields surrounnding the subjects can be detected in this way, and Kirlian photogrgaphy, the technique having been improved upon through the years, has recently come into use as a medical diagnostic devicec. It also has a popular market at psychic fairs as a sort of high-tech, more expansive version of the mood ring. Kirlian photography does produce some beautiful and interesting effects.
A photographic method involving a high frequency electric current, discovered by Russian Semyon Kirlian; Kirlian photographs often show colored halos or auras surrounding objects.
A technique that New Agers use to shoot people in the aura and get paid for it.
The photographing of the human aura. Two Russian scientists, Semyon and Valentina Kirlian founded this process.
Semjon Kirlian, a Soviet scientist, invented a method in which the bioenergetic emission of the hands and feet can be made visible and photographed in a harmless high-frequency field. Using the old Chinese system of meridians as well as the findings of the electro-acupuncturist Dr. Voll, Peter Mandel established an organ topography for the Kirlian photos. Direct information about weakened parts of the organ system can be deduced with the help of energetic phenomena appearing in photographs of the individual. It is the most refined, and tested, system of analysis of Kirlian photography available.
The process for taking pictures of the emanations and radiations surrounding living objects.
(corona-discharge photography, electrography): Purported means of recording one's aura (see above). Soviet electrician Semyon Davidovich Kirlian and his wife, Valentina, developed Kirlian photography in the early 1940s.
A photographic method involving high frequency electric current, discovered by S.D. & V. Kirlian in the Soviet Union. Kirlian photographs often show colored halos or "auras" surrounding objects.
Photographs showing the human aura or energy body
A photographic process that measures living auras.
A type of high-voltage, high-frequency photography, developed in the Soviet Union by Semyon Davidovich Kirlian, which records on photographic film the so-called “corona discharge†of an object caused by ionization of the field surrounding that object; it is claimed by some that this process indicates the existence of hitherto unknown radiations or energy fields such as “bioplasma†or the “psychic aura.
A special photographic technique that shows up the energy field around the body, typically the hands.
Kirlian photography refers to a form of contact print photography, theoretically associated with high-voltage. It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is subjected to a strong electric field, an image is created on the plate.
