Hello, everyone
No one in the Metaphysics threads had anything to say about this. Perhaps it was the wrong forum for this topic.
I have been making attempts to see my aura and it would appear that I have some degree of natural ability. For the first couple of days I have been working on focusing the visuals. Getting clearer and longer lasting images by working with my peripheral vision. Today I was practicing and I could make out a shape which can best be described as 3/4 of a circle bulge in my aura protruding upward from the scalp of my head to about 2 1/2 inches. It was roughly the size and diameter of a large fist. Although I did not actually see a chakra as such, I believe this to be the silhouette of my crown chakra.
However, another object came into more clarity after awhile, but it was above the crown area. It first came into focus as a point of light shining out from a pin prick. Then gradually a spherical object came into view around it placing the point of light at its center. This sphere was of a golden-white light that had a visual quality similar to some of those detailed photos of the sun's surface:

Of course, there were no flames shooting out of it and it was composed of a bright golden-white light with a mistiness to it. I'm not sure if it is an eighth chakra or not because it was bigger than a fist. It was closer in size to that of a basketball.
But something disturbed me. As this golden-white sphere came into view something else came into view as well. All around my aura, as if superimposed on top of it, there was this purplish "oily" looking light. It's form was similar to the shape and appearance of oil resting on the surface of a glass of water although it's form barely morphed but ever so slightly. It looks as if someone has taken a picture of such oil, placed it on a transparent animation cell, and lay it over the visual perception of my aura. At first I thought it was apart of this new golden-white sphere I was seeing, however this purple stuff radiates out from my head to cover my whole perceivable aura and then some.
I've never heard of such a thing in any writings concerning the aura. Anyone have any idea what this is?
Thank you for your time.
Just what I've read, not from personal experience :
There are chakras outside the body, one of them is above the crown chakra. The purple was probably from the brow chakra. Dunno about the rest.
Yes, there is another chakra which is situated above the crown, and it sounds to me like this is what you saw. :P
I don't know how much you know about the aura, but there are actually several layers to it, not just one. It incorporates the physical auric body,the etheric auric body, vital auric body, astral auric body, lower mental auric body, higher mental auric body and spiritual auric body. Each layer of aura can be viewed separately, and often look a little different (i.e they aren't all just a mix of colours, like most people percieve the aura to be).
It sounds like you were viewing the vital auric body - but some extra questions are in order to clarify this. Was this purple layer an obvious egg-shape, or did it more contour around the shape of your body? Did it extend over this extra chakra you mentioned, or was it below it?

No, it was neither an oval envelope more did it conform to the shape of my body. It extends beyond the range of the mirror. Seeming to flow out in all directions starting at my head.
