Am I seeing auras?

Q: So I started using meditation because I wanted to see auras.

One day I went to go see a play,and I saw this glow and I wasn't sure if it was the lighting or I was seeing auras. The glow was the color of their shirt. I asked my friend if she saw it and she said no.

Sometimes I can see a white glow around people if I really try. The glow isn't huge,its just a little silhouette around them. Am I really seeing auras?

Last night I heard a woman's voice. I checked to see if anyone was awake in my house though and no one is. I'm scared and confused.

Eva's response: It's all going to be ok.

It does sound like you're in the beginning stages of being able to see auras. The first thing you need to be able to do is ground and protect yourself. To ground yourself, sit on the edge of your bed with both feet flat on the floor and imagine tree roots growing out the bottom of your feet to literally root you into the earth beneath you. Imagine those roots going down, down, down until they reach the core of the earth. To protect yourself, imagine you're in a bubble of the purest white light.

The voice could be due to a number of reasons - you may have been dreaming without realizing it, or it might have been a spirit trying to communicate with you (do you remember what she said?). Or maybe, you're experiencing migraines, which can sometimes involve seeing auras (migraine auras are irritating and uncomfortable wheras a true aura is peaceful and enjoyable to look at) and sometimes migraines can involve hearing voices - rare, but if you hear her again and it bothers you, go see your doctor to get migraines ruled out.

Don't worry about it too much - try and get out into nature a bit more. A walk by the beach or in a garden can be wonderfully therapeutic.
