Hi Carol Ann!
I've seen auras on only 5 occasions.
One was when I had my first-born by c-section, had some pre-ecclampsia and was very ill. I began seeing auras around each object in the hospital room. They were short and didn't expand out too much, and were mostly reds and yellows. My husband came in later to check on me and I told him I was fine, then noticed he was purple! He had a huge purple glow about him and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I didn't really understand how or why, but I knew that I was finally seeing "for real" and wished that this is how we were always able to see. He got scared when I insisted he was purple. He got the nurse, and when she came in her aura was a beautiful green. Of course they both thought I was losing it, or dying, even though I tried to tell him how perfectly wonderful I felt. I felt totally in no pain and completely disconnected and free. I remember thinking how easy it would be to let go and how far I could travel. (Darn, I wish I had asked them to hold up a mirror so I could see my own aura).
Next one was after my lung surgery, I had a "visitor" who we'd all seen and spoken with prior to my surgery, but when I saw him again he appeared out of thin air in my room one night. He had a beautiful, large golden glow about him. (It's the story when I had prayed not to die and I just wanted to know. When he appeared he said it was his job to come and let me know I wasn't going to die).
Next was of a man who came out to check my phone line.... I had been gone only about 30 minutes, and when I came home I walked into my house and saw an orange glow throughout the living room. It was so confusing and contradictory to my perception that I actually believed I had walked into the wrong house. I ran out the door but got my bearings when I recognized my front yard. Went back in, the orange glow was still there. I stood there watching it wondering what to make of it, when I realized someone was in my house. I could just sense it. Came to find out that the phone guy was under the house in the crawl space. He'd gotten in there from the back yard while I was gone, never having actually been in the house. The glow "disappeared" after I realized this guy was there and I ran through the house looking for him. It was also weird that I hadn't called him for service, yet he showed me a work order with my name, number, address and showing I'd called for service and made an appointment. He was upset that he'd been called out for nothing, as he could find nothing wrong. And I told him again that I was sorry but we hadn't ordered a service call since there was nothing wrong.
Next one was, believe it or not, at a Barenaked Ladies concert. Ed, one of the lead singers, had an aura that expanded the entire theater. I saw it once they began playing the first song. It started from him and expanded outwards over the audience in a massive spread that quickly filled the entire theater within seconds. (I couldn't see a color to it). I remember staring in complete shock and moving my head as it spread, watching it move over everyone like a mist. I first wondered why no one else was watching this and then quickly realized I was the only one who could see it.
Next one was while visiting with Bruce and a couple of other friends of mine I met through this board. I was able to see the aura/energy of one of them as he spoke with a woman he is close friends with. They had just met physically for the first time, before only having spoken on the phone together. His energy was this smoky white mist that kind of resembled cigarette smoke, and it swirled around her as they spoke. (He's now a TMI outreach trainer and so is the woman).
