The aura is an energy field that surrounds us, and can be seen by some people. It looks sometimes like this picture:

I see auras under certain conditions, and when you see them at first, it isn't unusual to see the crown chakra aura, as it glows very bright in some people, especially children.

We are all surrounded by this energy field, and if you try, especially under lower lighting, you may eventually see all of a person's aura. The aura over the chair may be residual energy, either from you, one of your children, or even perhaps the previous owner of the chair (if it is not new).

You have begun on a wondrous journey into the energy fields of the human body. I suggest that you Google "aura" and "chakra"- there is tons of stuff on the Internet to explain these phenomena, so I have no need to do it. Also, try Inward Quest's search engine. There have been plenty of questions about auras and chakras. Try this question to start you off.

Good luck!

For the last several years I, too, have been seeing white auras round objects and people. Often I need to use my peripheral vision to see these auras, but, in the case of trees juxtaposed with the sky, I see them without using my peripheral vision. I even see auras of trees against the evening sky. I have also seen beams of white light emitting from my fingers when I look at my hand using my peripheral vision. These auras are not chakra auras. Chakra auras are coloured and frequently change upon emotional mood. I see only white. I also see frequently what is termed as 'faerie lights', as well as bright sparkles, black dots, energetic shimmering, and comet-like trails. When I look at an overcast sky, the sky turns blue, then pinkish-red. I enjoy this experience immensely! :o)
