The Boy and this girl were out pottering around the other day and came across a shop that offered the service to take a picture of their auras.
In parapsychology and many forms of spirituality an aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object like the halo or aureola of religious art. An aura may be held to reflect the moods or thoughts of the person it surrounds, and depiction of such an aura in religious art usually connotes a person of particular power or holiness. (Read more here and here.)
So, after letting the sales girl fuss over them for a bit, this girl and The Boy lined themselves up for a aura photo to great hilarity. Her photo was pretty much all purple, with a tinge of blue and diagnosis all around- meaning, at every chakra- was the notions of spirituality (a lot of it), peace and healing. In contrast, The Boy’s was yellow, orange, gold, with hints of red; meaning he’s mainly full of energy, creativity and enthusiasm. Which, the girl was quick to add made for good complementary, one to another. She did warn him not to try to lie to this girl since she, apparently, had the “in” with the divine plane.
This girl is including a little write up on the colours here.
