Seeing Auras

[Tiria_Wildlough]

Some people hate me because my aunt was a killer. great-great-great-great aunt and on and on. they say that she's called Bloody Mary. But, I don't believe in ghosts or the supernatural coming back to life. So, it's hog wash to me.

Wait, what?

Never mind.

Maybe we should drop the topic.

haha please!

This thread again?!

I really don't understand this...

I know. It's confusing.

I think basically what they're talking about is seeing a colored glow around a person. But by my definition aura is a feeling, influenced by the quality of a person's spirit. Like, some people just feel wrong and other people seem to project happiness or confidence or optimism.

I'm just repeating myself, aren't I?

It;s not really just a colored glow. Well, sort of. The glow is energy, your energy, but it reflects what you're feeling. Pockets, how do you not understand?

[Mhera]

Yeah, I can't say what I really think, it would be edited in a heartbeat.

^^^^^^

[Wylder Treejumper]

Well, it doesn't really mesh with anything I can think of. Plus, I never really heard of it before. Also, it's confusing because some people agree it's there, but don't agree on what it is. Plus, the whole "auric energy manipulation" thing sounds pretty suspicious.

[Izeroth]

 No offense, but how can you be sure it isn't just a trick of the light?

[Romsca]

I thought people saw auras before they got migraines...

Okay, not sure what you mean by that first sentence, Pockets. *Confused look* A lot of people either don't know what auras are, or know but simply couldn't give a care. So yeah, people don't talk about 'em much. *Scratches neck* I'm pretty sure that not really anyone knows what an aura is. We just have different opinions, I suppose. But I personally think (My opinion, doesn't have to be yours, okay?) that auras are energy surrounding a person that changes color, and sometimes shape, to reflect what a person is thinking or feeling.

No offense, but how can you be sure it isn't just a trick of the light?

I don't think I can answer that without blowing up. Sorry, Iz.

Say what now?

au·ra
?ôr?/
noun
noun: aura; plural noun: aurae; plural noun: auras

    the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place.
    "the ceremony retains an aura of mystery"
    synonyms:   atmosphere, ambience, air, quality, character, mood, feeling, feel, flavor, tone, tenor; More
    emanation;
    informalvibe
    "an aura of sophistication"
        a supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature, viewed by mystics, spiritualists, and some practitioners of complementary medicine as the essence of the individual, and allegedly discernible by people with special sensibilities.
        any invisible emanation, especially a scent or odor.
        "there was a faint aura of disinfectant"
        Medicine
        a warning sensation experienced before an attack of epilepsy or migraine.

So, yes, it is something you might have before a migraine, it is also a general feeling, and a 'supposed emanation.' Personally, I'm skeptical, but I'm just kind of like that. However, I do think that because it is a spiritual sort of thing a little more respect might be shown. If Christians' beliefs are to be respected, and atheist's views are to be respected, there is no reason Cornrflower's... (Not entirely sure what to call it... Beliefs? Spirituality? Something like that?) shouldn't be respected as well.

[Mhera]

It's not so much the aura part as the ghost part I could (but won't, don't worry ) comment on.

Anyhow, I've never had a migraine but my mom gets them every so often. She describes the aura related to them as something that occurs before the migraine takes place that makes her head feel weird and fuzzes or dims (forget which, maybe both) her vision.

[Izeroth]

 Oh, well if you mean the state of near-unconsciousness, I've experienced that before. Everything was kind of fuzzy, however. No wierd colors or lights.

[Mhera]

No, I think it's a different thing than the I-might-faint fuzziness. As far as I know, a migraine aura can actually last awhile before the headache starts, and my mom at least can function pretty normally with it (like being able to drive somewhere if necessary or interact with people without them noticing something's off). She's never mentioned colored lights being a part of it, though.

So the I-might-faint fuzziness, migraine aura, and color aura are three different things, I think.

[Kitsune]

I have had migraines before. The aura one sees when experiencing a migraine is like the white glow in your vision after you look at the sun or a bright light. It stays in one spot as you look around.

Even though it has been defined many times before, I feel like a concise definition is needed. Your aura is an extension of you. Its color is based on character, emotions and well being.

Your aura changes colors frequently. Auras have what I call a "base color(s)" that reflect your personality. These can change, but not as often as other colors; they change with your character. The other colors in your aura represent your emotions and well being. A good example of this is when a person is relaxed, they will probably have shades of blue or another cool color in their aura. If they suddenly are insulted, red will flare up like their anger. It basically is, like I said earlier, an extension of you. There is more to auras, like their movement and manipulation, but I am not to confident in that area yet and I do not want to provide you with the wrong information.

I don't think that your definition is the only one, Plugg. Lots of people think of auras as a feeling, but your definition can be true for some people, too.

Corn, while I don't agree with your ideas of natural energy and stuff, I do think it is possible. Just sort of the weirder side of Naturopathy.
