(END VIDEOTAPE of INDIGO CHILDRED FEATURE)
COOPER: OK. I've never heard of this. [Indigo Auras/Indigo Children] I'm not going to ask you if you actually believe it or not. What did doctors say about it who you talked to?
TUCHMAN: A lot of pediatricians and child psychologists basically say, either they have never heard of it, or they don't really believe it. But I will tell you, Anderson, there are an awful lot of people throughout the world who do believe in this. And you do a Google search and put in indigo children, you will see 520,000 hits.
COOPER: don't understand, though, OK, allegedly these are kids or people born after 1978, what is it about that year, why would there suddenly be this rash of children in that age group?
TUCHMAN: The significance of that, 1978, the harmonic convergence that happened. This is a very new age thing.
COOPER: It certainly is. All right, Gary Tuchman, thanks. I'm actually going to get my aura photographed right now. I want to introduce you to Nancy Stephens, a photographer who says that she specializes in capturing auras, correct?
STEPHENS: Correct.
COOPER: So you sit here. This is your special camera.
STEPHENS: This is an aura camera.
COOPER: An aura camera. All right.
STEPHENS: Put your right hand and left hand on the hand plates. There are pickups that will register your predominant energy centers, which translates as your aura.
COOPER: All right.
STEPHENS: OK.
COOPER: I'm not sure I have any predominant energy centers. But let's give it a whirl.
STEPHENS: Just look straight ahead. Take a nice deep breath. Exhale.
COOPER: OK.
STEPHENS: Just takes a couple of seconds. It's calibrating your energy right now.
COOPER: It's calibrating my energy?
STEPHENS: Yes. Good. OK. We're done.
COOPER: OK. Walk over here with me, if you will. We'll develop the photograph in a little bit.
STEPHENS: OK.
COOPER: How long have you been doing this?
STEPHENS: Since 1999.
COOPER: And -- here, if you'll just come over here. What is the aura that you're alleging you can photograph?
STEPHENS: The aura is a combination of your physical energy, your emotional energy, and important to me, at least, is your spiritual energy.
COOPER: And what can you tell or what do you say you can tell by people's aura? Is it color?
STEPHENS: Everyone has a unique -- it's like a snowflake or a thumbprint. Everyone has an unique aura. Red is your physical energy, to the other side of the spectrum which is purple, which is the spiritual side of you.
COOPER: And what is the benefit of knowing what one's aura is?
STEPHENS: It gives you insight as to what your gifts are, your strengths and also your challenges. Just like in everything in life, there's a challenge and there's a positive. There's a yin and a yang.
COOPER: I'm not sure I buy any of this. But we're going to develop the photograph in a little bit.
STEPHENS: OK. And we'll look at your...
COOPER: And we'll check out my aura.
Coming up next on 360, gift or not, if your kids are misbehaving, should you spank them? There's a new survey out that's pretty fascinating about the long-term effects of spanking. After we tell you about that, you may rethink your thoughts on how you punish.
Plus, "Sex and the City"'s Kim Cattrall, she is back with a new book, she talks about sexual intelligence and why she thinks people are still having trouble talking about sex, that's later on 360.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)...Later in the show...
COOPER: Earlier in the program we told you about indigo children, kids who some feel are mentally and spiritually gifted or said to have indigo-colored energy fields or auras around them. Aura photographer Nancy Stephens has taken my picture to see what kind of aura I have. And she joins me to talk about it.
How did the photo turn out?
STEPHENS: Fabulous.
COOPER: Let's take a look at it. What do you see in this? Uh- oh, what is that?
STEPHENS: OK.
COOPER: That's yellow, isn't it?
STEPHENS: Yes. The yellow reveals that you are an intellect. You're very intellectual. The white above you, that white arc displays your spirit guides, otherwise known as angelic beings or deceased loved ones.
The purple on the left side reveals that you are a visionary. It's a combination of red and blue, equals purple. Red is grounded strength. It's a chi, vitality, it's leadership and courage. And then the blue which is hidden within the purple reveals that you're very good at communication.
COOPER: So, you basically -- I don't quite understand how your camera works, but I mean it gets these things, are they different for everybody?
STEPHENS: Every photograph is unique, like a snowflake.
COOPER: And what -- do you do this, what, at bar mitzvahs and parties?
STEPHENS: I get called to many unusual events. They range from -- I have done bar mitzvahs. I've done animals. Showers. I just did an Overeaters Anonymous party last weekend.
COOPER: Let's just take a look at the photo again. It is an interesting -- why do you think people want to have your services? What do you think this gives people?
STEPHENS: Because it indicates what their strengths are, their emotional energy, their spiritual energy, and their physical energy. It gives them a lot of insight as to who they are.
COOPER: Hmm, interesting. Well, I'm not sure I buy any of it, but it's -- you know, clearly, a lot of people out there do and I appreciate you coming in and showing us how it works.
STEPHENS: You are quite welcome.
COOPER: Thanks very much.
STEPHENS: A pleasure.
COOPER: Returning now to the president's aura, not a color but a number. As we said at the top of the newscast, it's about 37 percent in the polls, give or take. That's the approval rating. On the radar tonight, how his shrinking job approval rating may affect his agenda from country, from tax reform to Social Security to Iraq. A lot of the Republicans he'll need on his side have started edging away instead. According to Joe Johns, our Capitol Hill correspondent, some won't even be seen in public with him. That must hurt. Tomorrow, we'll look at the price of shrinking poll numbers and how presidents turn these things around.
