   AFAIK, there's no good research anywhere that shows that anyone is   
   actually seeing an aura, and biophotons to the contrary, it doesn't sound   
   likely.

   I vaguely remember a televised test a few years ago, which had nine (?)   
   people in small booths, form which their auras were supposed to protrude,   
   and they had people who claimed to be able to diagnose illness and so on   
   attempt some simple test (I think it was to guess the gender of the   
   subject).   
      
   None of them achieved scores above chance, although, to be fair, it was   
   hardly a conclusive test.   
      
   It is a vague memory though, so some details could be wrong.  I'm fairly   
   confident about the outcome however, since that was the bit I was   
   interested in.

   Without knowing a great deal more about the circumstances, I've no real   
   idea what's going on here: the simplest explanation is probably that she's   
   hypersensitive to body language.   
      
   I know you think you can disguise your postural changes; but I doubt that   
   you can hide your symptoms from someone who's hyperaware of them, in the   
   same way that it's impossible to hide the facial micro-expressions   
   associated with lying from someone trained to read them.   
      
   If she could do it through a curtain, I'd be impressed - since the aura   
   traditionally extends beyond the body it should be easy enough to rig up a   
   simple test setup.
