Last summer (of 2004) I spent three months, which is my entire break from college classes, in San Diego, California. While there, I surfed the waves every day, while taking measures to keep my skin from burning, and ate the most healthy food (and well-balanced meals) of my life.
But some things stood out for me.
Now, some things you must understand is that I am only recently very ... um, religion-bound. And not even now do I call myself anything, but I practise Buddhism. I have 'been' Wiccan, Satanist, and Athiest before. I've been through many paranormal encounters and experience what people tell me is "lucid dreaming" almost every other night. And that, I believe, might just mean I am a very light sleeper. I have recorded nearly every dream since the age of 10 (in journals) and I have flown in every dream I can remember -- which is more than you think, I'm sure.
But one thing I did not believe in was auras. And one day, after surfing, a friend I was with said I was glowing. I took it as a silly compliment and we giggled, but then she said I was GLOWING. I stared at her for a moment and blamed it on the sea weed. She forgot it and we went on. I went back to the place I was staying at and showered then went out that night. With a different group of friends, mind you, one of the people THEY were with said I had a green ring around my enter body -- with white over my face and hands. I asked her if she was Wiccan and she CRACKED out laughing, saying she was Christian. I thought THAT was odd.
Nothing happened for another month, then while I was out with the first friend (the one that said I was "glowing") we were stopped in the street by a very old lady. She was sweet, and complimented me on my necklace -- I don't remember what she was talking about next, but we got into a discussion on health, and the lady took my hands and told me I would not only gain further power to heal myself but was already on the way to it. I remembered the two incidents about "glowing" and "green outline" from before and the woman just said, "That's right." Then she walked off. I actually BLEW it all off as her being an insane homeless person.
Does anyone have anything to say? I mean, could I have a "healing aura"? Do individuals have different colours? I've seen photographers that specialise in capturing auras on film, but they're too expensive for me to just try without first knowing the basics: how do they do it? why? and how do you know when you're just being scammed?
I'm sorry that I talk so much, but this has been bothering me more lately than it did when it all happened.
[edit::]
I don't know how important this is, but I forgot to mention that I have been battling a genetic disease since around the age I started recording my dreams. I have something called ulcerative colitis, and it is carried by all the women on my father's side. My grandmother, who I was closest to (of all my family) died from it. One of my greatest fears is following her in that way -- after all, everyone says I am just like her -- but that lady gave me some hope. I'm not asking for healing from any of you -- just advice on what this may have been. It is very important to me.
Thank you.
