The Aura of Your Choice
The stark contrast between the energy generated during the Republican National Convention and during the Democratic National Convention in August was palpable and reminded me of Rosalyn Bruyere’s serious quip “Vote for the aura of your choice,” a recommendation I followed at that time and have at every voting opportunity since. It seems to me that this year especially, the difference between the aura of the candidates and their parties is visible and tangible.
As I write, I can hear the questions!
What is an aura anyway?
How can one see or perceive an aura, if there is such a thing, especially on TV?
Cambridge Dictionary online defines aura as:
1. A feeling or character that a person or place seems to have.
2. A type of colored light that some people say they can see around people and animals, that they believe shows something about their character, mood, health, etc.
3. Light or color that can be seen surrounding something.
How, then, can one see or perceive an aura, especially when watching people on TV?
The simplest way is to turn on the TV, turn off the sound, relax and let yourself drop into a meditative state, soften your vision (like seeing without glasses), and let yourself notice the halo around the person. You don’t need to see a color. Your body will respond to what it perceives from the picture of the person or persons. Our secondary aura automatically recognizes and assesses the secondary aura of anyone we see or think of.
My body either relaxes and opens up, or tightens and closes down, depending on the auric field that is being generated. I vote for the field my body relaxes and opens to.
I did my best to spend real time watching parts of the RNC. I was simply unable to listen to and watch for very long. I found myself responding physically to the energy being generated. In the name of fairness, I went to YouTube to watch and listen to some of the major presenters. I found my responses were no easier to live with. When I went into mindfulness and contemplation, I was able to recognize that the energy field––the auric field of the conference in general and the speakers individually––was simply inimical to my own aura. I came away feeling dread, grief, despair, and an odd sense of anger.
I was able to comfortably watch most of the DNC, though I found I was tired at the end of the day. I also went to YouTube to watch major presentations and get a sense of each individual’s auric field. Watching and listening, I found myself smiling, my heart center open and a sense of joy in life that seemed to be missing entirely from the RNC.
So, I’m joyfully taking Rosalyn’s advice and will be voting for the aura of my choice. And I hope you’ll do the same. Because, when you do, indeed, vote for the aura of your choice, you are in your own integrity. And that’s all anyone can wish for everyone!
