Okay, so yesterday I saw this thing online about “pink auras” and what they mean about a person. Honestly, I kinda rolled my eyes at first. Like, who even sees auras? But then I thought, what the hell, it’s raining outside, got nothing better to do. Why not give it a shot?

Finding a spot to try
First thing, I had to pick where to do this aura stuff. My living room has this white wall near the window with okay light. Figured that was better than my cluttered bedroom. Grabbed one of those plain white printer pages from my drawer. That’s it for setup. No fancy crystals or incense – just me standing there feeling a bit stupid.
Looking… and looking…
The instructions said: pick one thing to stare at. Chose a tiny mark on the wall. Stared at it without blinking for like, maybe 15 seconds? Felt my eyes start to water almost immediately. Blinked, felt annoyed. Tried again. This time, I forced myself to stare until tears literally ran down my cheeks – probably closer to 30 seconds. Hurt a bit, not gonna lie.
The weird color blob appears
After whipping my head away from the wall spot super fast, I stared dead center at the white paper. Nothing at first. Then… whoa. A faint, kinda hazy outline formed around where my head would be if I was the subject. It wasn’t bright, more like when you see those heat waves rising off pavement in summer. But the color? Yeah, it was pink. Sorta washed-out, like someone mixed strawberry milk with water. But pink. For real.
Reading up and scratching my head
Right, so what does a pink aura mean? Pulled out my phone. Found different websites all saying kinda similar stuff:
- It’s about being caring and loving people
- Having a gentle, sensitive side
- Liking calm and peaceful situations
- Being creative maybe
Made me laugh a little. “Gentle”? Me? Last Tuesday I yelled at my coffee machine for sputtering. But the ‘caring’ part? Okay, maybe. I do like helping my neighbor carry groceries.

Why I think this might actually be useful
Okay, the method feels goofy as hell, and you look ridiculous doing it. But honestly? Made me stop for five minutes. Made me think about how I act with people. Am I patient? Mostly not. Do I actually care about others? Yeah, I think I do. It’s like a super cheap, quick way to just check in on yourself – even if it feels like you’re tricking your eyes.
Would I do this every day? Nah. My eyes still feel a bit dry. But it was an interesting experiment. And hey, if feeling like a goofball for a few minutes gets me thinking about being nicer or more peaceful? Maybe it’s not such a waste of time after all.
