How exactly do aura's feel

Mon, 05/15/2006 - 11:30
How exactly do aura's feel? Can you have aura's and not have an actual seizure? I think I had some this weekend. I went off into like a "spacy" feeling. Like I was tingling and I couldn't make myself snap out of it for a few seconds. I have had a headache since I has these feelings. I have had E a long time, but I am new to all the terminology and so forth. Thanks.

Auras can be very scary.  During one, it can seem that you've entered into a new plane of consciousness.  Consensus reality is the one we usually occupy, however mystics and saints and visionaries knew and still know that there are other planes of consciousness.  In aura, we can break into that  "otherness."  For the uninitiated, it can be frightening.  

You have a writer's skill here, as you tried to capture the experience in words.  That's hard to do, yet you succeeded.  Please know that there is nothing to fear.  You are closer to God now.  Is there a doctor you trust who you can speak to now? You need to speak to someone who will hear with understanding.

I suggest you read Gopi Krishna... or at least Google him.  Read more of these threads and post again so we know how you are doing. 

All best wishes,

i wont go outside anymore. i listen 2 music. i've written some. i think 2 much. i feel like my house is a safety blanket but the walls have been closing in. this whole epilepsy thing. auras, afraid 4 no reason. crying everyday. they have left me with no choice but 2 put my back against the wall and turn all the lights on.'just like heaven' popped into my head a couple weeks ago. i put it on and now i cant listen 2 it, think of it or any other song about birth and death and all inbetween without crying. dont listen 2 daylight fairytale-the killers if your depressed about life. i hide my tears with sunglasses. if i could pour from me all of the pictures, the happiness, the saddnes, the life, and my reel of tape. i would say, "here world this is it. this is why i'm crying."

you sound a lot like my daughter with your thoughts she is 14 and she says she hates her life and she also finds home a safe place but you have to not lock yourself up due to fear when she sometimes goes out i think i take it the worst...I was wondering how old you are?? I have been trying to find another young person for my daughter to talk too about how she feels and that she is NOT the only one that thinks she has it so bad with having seizures and her depression too...we can't change what we have but we can change how we look at it they say our subconcience is so powerful that if we train it it can heal us ...all the best Hello ee I will send my prayers to you
