My Weird Journey Trying to See My Own Pink Aura
Okay, so honestly, I saw this stuff about auras popping up everywhere online, especially this pink one they say means love and calm. Figured, why not? I’m a pretty practical guy normally, but hey, I’ll try anything once. Grabbed my phone, searched real quick for how beginners can even try to see it. Found some basic steps everyone seemed to say.

First thing everyone demanded? Chill out. Like, really chill out. I thought, “Sure, easy,” but nah. Tried sitting on my living room floor, aiming for comfy. Shut my eyes tight first try – big mistake. Felt nothing but eyeball strain. Realized that wasn’t working. Took a breath, sat back against the couch, kinda slumped there. Let my shoulders drop. Didn’t force anything. Just kinda… existed. Felt weird at first, trying not to do anything. Kept breathing slow. Took maybe five minutes before I stopped wanting to jump up and check my email.
Step two was about the hands. Instructions said stare at your own hand, but kinda softly. Not like squinting at a tiny bug. So, I put my right hand flat up against a plain bit of my white wall. Held it there. Started staring somewhere around the middle. Didn’t look at my skin, more like trying to see the air right around it. Felt super dumb at first. All I saw was my hand and the wall. Nothing glowy. Rubbed my hands together quick like some sites suggested – got them tingling a bit. Held my right hand up again. Just kept looking. No pink. Still just my hand.
Felt kinda ready to give up. But then… something sorta happened? I kept my gaze loose, still staring at that fuzzy space around my fingers. Started noticing this really, really thin outline around my hand. Super faint. Not pink like bubblegum at all! More like a super pale, see-through… something. Like heat haze on a road, but barely there. It didn’t feel like it was part of the wall, and it wasn’t my skin. Just this kinda shimmering outline hugging my fingers.
This is where folks call it pink! Mine definitely wasn’t screaming pink. Maybe, maybe, if I squinted (which I wasn’t supposed to do!) it had a tiny, tiny hint of something like the very pale inside of a seashell? Or maybe just dirty white? Honestly, I don’t trust it. Here’s what I think actually happened:
- My eyes were tired from staring weird.
- Rubbing my hands probably got blood flowing, maybe making things look different.
- Wishful thinking is strong! I wanted to see pink.
- My brain could just be making stuff up around the edges.
Finished up by blinking a bunch and shaking my head. The weird glow-thing faded real fast. Felt a bit light-headed, actually. Don’t know if I saw an actual “pink aura,” man. Saw something, for sure – that weird outline. Was it the famous pink glow for beginners? Ehhh… doubtful. Maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks because I stared too long at a blank wall near my skin. Either way, it was a strange little experiment. Made me way more aware of how I look at things. Worth the twenty minutes? Yeah, kinda. Cool to try. But I ain’t quitting my day job to read auras anytime soon!
