Your Aura’s Purple!
I’ve had an interest in auras ever since that ridiculous scene in Almost Famous where the “clairvoyant” shouts that William’s aura is purple. Really, really purple. I don’t put much stock in horoscopes, tarot cards, crystals, and palm reading, but I find them entertaining and interesting to explore.
I had been feeling restless and anxious for a change for several years. But I couldn’t figure out where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do, or really commit to the kinds of drastic changes that were calling my name. I was too pragmatic and practical, comfortable and settled, and weighed down by my things and my indecision to make any moves. I was getting really tired of feeling stuck and I was hoping something would push me towards a decision.
My sister came to visit me in November of 2019 and we were both feeling like we could use some points in the right direction. So we headed to Tertiary Sight to get our aura photos taken. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, but I didn’t feel a huge connection to my colors and their meanings didn’t make me feel any closer to ready to make any changes. I was just as detached and ambivalent about the photo as I was about my life at that moment.
It took covid blowing my world apart and a lot more soul searching before I was ready to take a leap. I agonized and debated, made lists, and finally I just said- forget it, I’m doing it. The worst thing that happens is I find a big girl job and move somewhere for it. But I want to try this crazy nomadic adventure while I still can. I had packed and purged and was getting ready to load up my car and drive away when I realized I didn’t want to leave without seeing what my aura looked like on the precipice of this crazy adventure. My friend Michael had never even thought about getting an aura photo, but he was excited about the prospect and we both went for my last night in town.
I will never forget that feeling when Jane pulled the protective paper off my photo. I gasped at the multitude of colors and the possibilities in each one. In this video, Jane explains the colors, what the placement of each color means, talks about how they relate to my new journey, and then compares this photo to my last photo when I was first toying with the idea of doing this crazy adventure.
It’s a relatively long video, and Jane offers far more insights. But basically- here’s what my aura photo says about me.
In my Expressive/Energy Out quadrant I am green: determined, growth, healing, perfectionist, ambitious
In my Receptive/Energy In quadrant I am yellow and purple: whimsical, optimistic, generous, enthusiastic, joy, visionary, charming, playful, inspirational, and big ideas.
In my Present energy/Conscious Thought- my arch (hope and aspirations) are Blue and White (with yellow, green and purple): Intuitive, Sensitive, depth of feelings, empathy, truth, intense, cosmic wisdom, big picture, thinking, and open.
My throat/voice are purple: visionary, charming, playful, inspirational, big ideas
My heart is white: intense, cosmic wisdom, big picture thinking, and open.
Jane talked a lot about storytelling and communication, the importance of sharing stories and journeys. Seeking out magic, embracing nature, looking for the truth, growing into what you’re hoping to find, and clearing paths to get there.
She explained that my red and magenta photo were about doing the work and asking the questions to get me started on this new path. That most people don’t like a big red card because it means big changes and decisions need to be faced. That red is about security and safety, and that a lot of my conflict was about leaving that behind.
Next we did an Oracle Card Reading. Jane was so curious about how much blue I would pull from the deck since I had so much blue (finding and speaking my truth) in my aura photo. The cards did not disappoint.
I was a little freaked out by the Death card. Had I pulled a grim like Harry Potter? But alas, this death is referring to the old me and my old life. It’s the closing of one chapter to make room for a new beginning. Reclaiming your power and starting again. I’ll take it!
A cleanse card seemed appropriate for my present energy card. Clearly I was in a time of big cleansing. The fears that held me back, the indecision, the stuff… my energy and my life were getting a solid purge.
My Receptive Energy card was trust. To just trust my truth, feelings, sense of release and power, and trust myself. To surrender to the truth, and trust it.
What an incredibly empowering and supportive experience to kickstart the crazy. I absolutely loved my time with Jane, and hope you’ll book some time at Tertiary Sight. If you have questions, curiosity about feelings you can’t quite process on your own, or just want to get a really unique photo of yourself… you can’t go wrong with an appointment here. She’s currently closed while her camera gets some love, but I couldn’t possibly recommend the experience any more enthusiastically.
