I had <i>no</i> idea how much of a community it is, and it's amazing! Thanks Gina and Nicole for the interview, hope you had a great weekend.Tiana Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568247032288076461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827750013790933422.post-45766641021910813052010-05-22T21:01:59.497-04:002010-05-22T21:01:59.497-04:00Jamie and Crimey~ I have not always known I could ...Jamie and Crimey~ I have not always known I could see auras. But a few years back I became friends with a woman who was very centered and organic in the most peaceful, wonderful way. She talked about seeing auras as if it were perfectly normal, and when I questioned her more about it she told me what she sees. A couple nights later I was talking with another friend who was telling me an emotional story. Suddenly, around her head and shoulders I saw a pale, wispy white "light," that seemed to expand and contract as if it were breathing. I started to cry. My poor friend thought I was reacting to her story!<br /><br />After that, I started looking for people's auras. The more relaxed and practiced you become, the more color you are able to see. I don't know why this is, except to say I believe an openness to the experience is necessary. Now, it's hard for me <i>not</i> to see auras.<br /><br />At a funeral for her mother, a neighbor was on the alter reading a poem. She was literally glowing green. I leaned over to the girl next to me and said, "Isn't that vivid color beautiful?" The girl squinted her eyes and then looked at me. "What color?" she asked.<br /><br />Another time when my daughter was seven, she was drawing a picture at the island while I cooked dinner. She was deep in concentration, and the tip of her little tongue was actually visible between her parted lips. A field of magenta color surrounded her, so bright nearest her face that her profile seemed lit by neon. It was beautiful.<br /><br />Usually, to see such vivid colors in people just going about their lives, (as opposed to emotional or creative moments), I have to meditate. However, I see pulsing whitish-blue halos around people all the time. Sometimes, like if I'm in line at the grocery store or something, it feels like an invasion of privacy and I look away. Funny, right?<br /><br />Everyone can see auras, if they just try. An aura is a normal part of the natural world. Try it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827750013790933422.post-85542581567223191942010-05-22T17:40:08.162-04:002010-05-22T17:40:08.162-04:00I really enjoyed this interview, ladies!
