Sirona, I wasn't going to say anything about visualizing the aura except for that little bit about being able to tell when I'm being lied to. I was apparently born visualizing the aura. Before I was in the first grade, I asked, "Why is my Papa glowing like that?" Well, my grandmother, JW from head to toe, told me that my eyes were just playing tricks on me. I knew that wasn't the case, even at four years old. My grandfather was one of the most loving, caring, giving people I've ever known, and his aura was a sky blue alive with coruscating golds and silver. His 4th chakra was as big as a softball and a beautiful emerald green. And it was what I would have called a "thick" aura. It stood away from his body perhaps an inch but was about six inches thick. People who never met him came away from their first encounter with him saying, "I feel like I've known him all my life."
My father, on the other hand, had a thin aura and it was a combination of blacks with scab-colored blotches in it, sort of a red-brown. No chakra above the second had any energy in it and mostly his first chakra was energized a dull red-brown. He had been away at the war, and the first time I saw him, I ran and hid. He forcefully picked me up and I was terrified of him. I am 58 now, and the relationship between he and I has never been good, never.
Wednesday - I felt what you felt. Probably at the same time. And I'll also say this: there are quite a few people on this bb to whom I feel a special connection, but I've never mentioned it to them. Don't want to freak anyone out. Of course, if I were to discuss this with a JW, I would be labeled "demonized" in a heartbeat. Those of us with "special abilities" always are thus labeled, and in Salem and other places and at other times, we were burned alive. I'm soooooo happy that doesn't happen any more.
