Okay, so you want to hear about my little adventures with trying to see auras, specifically the purple ones? Pull up a chair, this is how it went down for me.
How I Even Got Started on This Aura Stuff
Honestly, I’d heard people talking about auras for ages. You know, that glowy energy field thing. Sounded a bit woo-woo at first, if I’m being frank. But then, a while back, I was looking for ways to, I dunno, get a bit more in tune with myself, maybe see things a bit differently. I stumbled across some stuff online, people talking about how they could see these colors around folks. Curiosity got the better of me, simple as that. I figured, why not give it a shot? What did I have to lose, right?
My First Awkward Attempts and What I Learned
So, I decided I was going to see these auras. My first few attempts were pretty comical, looking back. I’d just stare really hard at my hand, or at my dog, expecting some magical light show. Nothing. Just got a headache and probably looked a bit daft. I quickly realized that just wanting it wasn’t enough. There had to be some kind of trick to it.
I dug around a bit more. Some folks were saying things like:
- You gotta be relaxed, like super chill. Meditation was mentioned a lot.
- A plain, preferably white, background helps a ton.
- Soft lighting is key, not too bright, not pitch black.
That made a bit more sense than my random staring contests. It seemed like I needed to set the stage a bit.
The Mirror Technique and Finally Seeing Something
So, I decided to get a bit more methodical. I found a quiet time in the evening, dimmed the lights in my room, and sat myself down in front of a mirror. Behind me was just a plain white wall. This felt a bit more like an actual experiment.
The main technique I picked up was this: I’d look at my reflection, but instead of looking at my eyes, I’d focus on a spot right in the middle of my forehead. Just softly gaze at it for a minute or two. The trick was to then, without moving my eyes from that spot, try to become aware of the space just outside the outline of my head and shoulders. It’s like using your peripheral vision, but really gently.
Man, it took a while. Days, actually. Lots of just seeing my own tired face. But then, one evening, I started to notice a very faint, almost transparent shimmer around my shoulders. It was super subtle. I almost thought I was imagining it. But I kept at it, same routine, few minutes each day. And then, the shimmer started to get a hint of color. For me, the first color that really came through clearly was this delicate, kind of hazy purple.
Diving Deeper into That Purple Glow
Seeing that purple was a bit of a ‘whoa’ moment, you know? It wasn’t like a bright, solid color, more like a soft, slightly see-through mist. It seemed to hug the outline of my head and shoulders. I tried not to get too analytical about it straight away, just wanted to get used to perceiving it.
What I started noticing over time was that the intensity or clarity of this purple haze seemed to change. If I was feeling particularly calm, maybe after a good walk or just a quiet day, the purple felt a bit more vibrant, a bit easier to see. If I was stressed or my mind was racing, it was much harder to pick up, or it would look very faint and muddled.
I didn’t immediately rush to look up “what purple aura means.” I was more interested in my own direct experience. Some people talk about balancing chakras, or using crystals, or even taking special baths to improve their aura. I haven’t really gone down those paths much myself. My approach was more about just being still, looking, and noticing.
What I Think About It All Now
So, that’s been my journey with this purple aura thing. It’s not like I see it all the time, or around everyone. It’s more of a personal practice, something I do when I feel like it. It’s taught me a bit about patience, that’s for sure, and about how subtle our perceptions can be if we just quiet down enough to notice.
Whether it’s a ‘real’ energy field or just some kind of optical effect from staring, I don’t know for sure. But the process of relaxing, focusing, and looking inward (or outward, in this case) has been pretty interesting. It makes you pay attention in a different way. If you’re curious, give it a go. Just don’t expect to see a disco ball around your head on the first try. It’s a slow burn, this kind of thing.
