So, you’re kicking around the question of what a white aura means, huh? It’s one of those things, isn’t it? Sounds all mystical and profound. To be honest, when I first started poking around this whole aura business, ‘white’ was the color that got me curious the most. Seemed like the VIP of aura colors.
My First Stumbles into Aura Gazing
My journey with this wasn’t exactly a smooth glide into enlightenment, let me tell you. I didn’t just wake up one day seeing glowing lights around people. Far from it. I started, like many, I suppose, by reading a bunch of stuff. Books, articles online – you name it. And boy, did they have opinions! One source would say white is pure spiritual energy, like an angel’s calling card. Another would claim it’s a sign of a new beginning, a blank slate. Then a third would insist it’s a shield, protecting you from bad vibes. My head was spinning a bit. Which one was it?
So, I thought, okay, less reading, more doing. I tried the classic exercises. You know, squinting at my own hand against a plain background, hoping to catch a glimmer. I’d sit there, eyes half-closed, feeling a bit daft, trying to see something around my fingers. Most of the time? Nada. Zilch. Or maybe I’d see a faint shimmer, but then I’d blink, and it was gone. Was it an aura? Was it just my tired eyes playing tricks? Probably the latter, most days.
I even remember trying to “feel” it. I’d close my eyes and try to sense this white energy. Sometimes, I’d get a peaceful feeling, sure. But was that a ‘white aura’ or just me finally relaxing after a crazy day at my old job? That job, man, it was anything but white and pure. More like a murky grey of stress and endless spreadsheets.
That One Time at the “Mystic Fair”
Things got a bit clearer, or maybe just more amusing, after an experience I had. This was years ago. I was still pretty green, exploring all these “alternative” ideas. I went to one of those mind, body, spirit fairs. You know the type – incense smoke thicker than fog, tinkly music, and folks in flowing clothes offering all sorts of readings and healings.
I wandered over to a booth where a lady with impressively large turquoise jewelry was doing “aura readings.” She took one look at me, her eyes wide, and proclaimed, “Oh, my dear! You have such a strong, brilliant WHITE aura! You are a natural healer, so pure!”
Now, at the time, I was working a really soul-crushing data entry gig. The most “healing” I did was fixing typos in financial reports. I felt about as pure as a mud puddle after a rainstorm. But, you know, it sounded nice. For a moment, I puffed up a bit. “A healer, eh?”
Then came the pitch. “To truly activate and maintain this precious white aura,” she continued, leaning in conspiratorially, “you absolutely need this special Lemurian crystal I have here. Only $150, a special price just for you, because of your amazing aura!”
And just like that, my “brilliant white aura” suddenly felt a bit like a sales tactic. I mumbled something polite and backed away. It didn’t stop me exploring, but it sure made me more skeptical of easy labels and anyone trying to sell me something based on my “aura color.”
What “White” Means to Me Now, After All That
So, after all that fumbling, reading, and almost getting fleeced, what do I think a white aura indicates? Well, I’ve landed on something a bit more personal and less… well, less like a fortune cookie.
- Clarity and Potential: For me, “white” often feels like a state of mental clarity. Like after a really good, long walk where I’ve untangled all my thoughts. Or that feeling of a fresh start, like a clean page in a notebook. It’s less a constant color and more a state of being open, unburdened.
- A State of Transition: Sometimes, I associate it with a sort of “in-between” phase. Like someone who’s shed an old skin but hasn’t quite grown the new one. It’s not empty in a bad way, but more like a space being cleared for something new. Pure potential.
- High Energy, but Not Always “Spiritual”: Yes, it can indicate a very high, pure energy. I’ve felt that around people who are deeply compassionate or incredibly focused in a very positive way. But it’s not always saintly. It can also be a very intense, almost overwhelming energy if it’s not grounded.
- Protection or Shielding (Sometimes): I do think there’s something to the idea of it being a form of energetic boundary. Not necessarily a conscious shield, but more like a natural radiance that keeps negativity at bay, simply because the person’s own energy is so clear and strong.
Honestly, I stopped trying to “see” auras in the visual sense a long time ago. It felt like I was forcing it. Instead, I focused more on just sensing the overall energy or feeling of a person or situation. And the idea of “white”? It became more of an internal reference point for certain states of being I’d experience in myself or perceive in others.
So, if someone tells you that you have a white aura, that’s interesting. But I’d take it with a grain of salt and then check in with yourself. How do you feel? Clear? Open? Ready for something new? That, to me, is way more telling than a color label. My journey into it taught me more about trusting my own gut than anything else, and that’s a practice I find pretty valuable, no crystals required.
