Feeling Auras

[Ink]

I learned last night that the colors I feel might be Auras, but all information about Auras speak of seeing it. I do not see the color, I feel the color. Also the colors of Auras and what they mean are not the same as how I understand them. Are what I feel Auras or something else? I also feel a color from everything not just living beings.

Sounds more like you're empathic. If you think about it, Auras are seeing a person's energy, if you're empathic your feeling the same energy just not seeing it.

Different people "see" auras differently. It can be any sense (I know people who "smell" them) and the meaning varies from person to person. My understanding of it is that you are working with a sense that we don't really have a place for and so our mind transforms it into one of the senses we are more comfortable with. It is a normal part of brain functioning: our eyes for example fill in much of what we "see" in normal sight. Each person will do this differently. For example I tend to see textures, not colors. You have to work with figuring out what you are seeing means to you.

Ok, I understand that it is possible to feel it. I have never heard of words, numbers, objects, or memories having Auras though. Is this same thing?

Through search it says empaths go through emotions other's experience. I do not do that. I just feel the color the person or thing gives off.

It might be connected.

In music, I was taught to use colouring and emotion to discern tones. It's very well possible to develop a way of sensing differences between words, numbers, objects, memories etc. that does not rely on the visual or aural senses, but on some others. This might tie into percepting states known as synesthetics and cross-esthetics: using different or more senses than other people in the same action.

I also have a more spiritual (less technical and not scientifically proven) explanation. It involves the sensory and emotional baggage we (the users of an object) instill into that object by using it in a certain way. For instance, it is said to be possible to store energy in a crystal, for later use. Afterwards, someone walking by would sense it. This effect I believe is not only possible with crystals and energy, but also with emotion and sensation in all other kinds of objects, including words and numbers.

Why does the musician write down that specific chord? Because it feels that specific way. Why does the poet use that specific word? Because it feels that specific way. By using it, they enhance the feel of it. The more feel instilled into it, the more likely someone else is to pick up on it.

Tying that into cross-esthetics: as much as one can smell or hear an aura, one can also see auras in inanimate and even abstract objects (words, numbers etc.). The difference isn't made by the objects themselves: it is made by the percepting brain.

It reminds me of The Village when the blind girl can see people's colours, or rather she can sense them because after all she doesn't have the ability to physically see.

Namaste, Gede...
