My Go at Spotting Red Auras
Alright, let’s talk about this whole ‘aura’ thing. Specifically, red auras. You hear folks mentioning it, right? Supposedly means strong energy, passion, maybe even anger or stress. Sounds intense. Always kinda wondered if it was something you could actually, you know, see.
So, one time, figured I’d give it a whirl myself. Wasn’t expecting some big spiritual revelation, just plain curious. I was sitting outside a coffee shop, lots of people walking around. Seemed like a good place to try this aura-spotting business.
How I Tried It
Didn’t do anything weird. No special glasses or chanting mantras. Just tried what I’d read somewhere: kinda relax your eyes, look slightly past the person, at the space around their head and shoulders. So I picked someone sitting across the way, reading a book, and just sorta… softened my gaze. Stared at the air around their outline.
- Focused on the ‘edge’ of the person.
- Tried to keep my eyes relaxed, not strained.
- Did this for a few minutes at a time, on different people.
- Honestly felt a bit awkward, hoping nobody noticed me staring vaguely past them.
What Actually Happened
So, did I see a big, vibrant red glow surrounding anyone? Short answer: nope. Not a chance. What I did see was… well, not much. Maybe a tiny bit of fuzziness right at the edge sometimes? Like when your eyes get tired? Or sometimes, if the light hit just right, maybe a faint shimmer, but gone in a second. Could’ve been anything. Definitely wasn’t a clear, distinct color. No red, no blue, no green.
Thinking About It Now
Maybe seeing a literal color isn’t the point? Got me thinking about people I’ve known who were just… intense. Like this manager I worked for years back. Didn’t need to see a ‘red aura’ to know he was radiating stress or frustration, especially when deadlines loomed. You could just feel it when he walked into the office. That heavy energy, you know? It wasn’t a color, it was a palpable thing.
That job nearly ground me down. Learned the hard way about managing that kind of intensity, both from others and in myself. Left that place eventually, found a role where things were more balanced. Maybe that’s closer to what people mean by ‘auras’ – not seeing colors, but picking up on that real, tangible human energy. The vibe someone gives off. You learn to read that pretty quick after a while, no squinting required.
