The page you were looking for no longer exists

I saw something today that I'm at a loss to explain.
 
Today I went to one of the neighboring towns to meet a friend.  I had some time to kill so after a bagel I decided to walk down the street and check out a book store.  As I was crossing the street I looked down at my shadow.
 
I saw a circular "halo" surrounding my shadow from about the chest up past my head.  It was a perfect circle and it had the colors of the rainbow in it.  I looked up and around to see if I was standing in front of some sort of glass.  Nope.  I was in a cross walk with nothing but concrete and asphalt around me.  I looked down again expecting not to see it and there it was again!  It was tracking me as I walked.
 
As I stepped up onto the sidewalk it disappeared.  I was a little surprised and confused.  I let it go and after a quick trip through the store I walked back to the meeting place.  I crossed the street at the same crosswalk and looked again out of curiousity.  No halo.  It had only been about 20 minutes.  I looked again for any glass or other reflective surface and nada.
 
I'm not sure what it was.  Any ideas?

    aura? you seen anything like that before?
  • wishyouwerehere said on Oct 11, 2009....
    I'm going with aura also - never seen my own, but I see energy in others from time to time, just that I can't do it deliberately.
     
    How wonderful, Uni!

    phoeby - I've seen auras before (not my own), but they didn't look like this.
     
    wishy - I can't do it deliberately either.  I'm puzzled that I saw it on my shadow as well, if that's what I was seeing.  It was very pretty.

    I'm gonna agree with Phoeby and Wishy, and that is just too cool Uni.  Sounds like you have a nice colorful, bright aura ... so neat!
  • wishyouwerehere said on Oct 11, 2009....
    I'm not surprised you have a beautiful aura ;)

    Aura sounds about the only real thing, and I'm kind of envious of seeing auras.. that would be so neat.. =p

  • pleasantskies said on Oct 11, 2009....
    Whatever it was, that's pretty cool.

    Perhaps it is something else, I wonder what it could be...

    The greatest things I have found to date, escape explanation, though the joy felt can be known as such.

    I will suggest something both easy and fun.
    Continue down the rabbit hole, the unexpected will continue as long as you allow it.

    If you are open to expanding your ability to percieve objective reality, then CONCIOUSLY acknowlege & accept what happened. . . . You might want to run this past Raindrop Kisses  for her take.

    I'll bet it was your aura too.  The other thing that came to mind was chakra.  Is that the same thing?  I'm not sure.

    Your aura, is the energy field emanating from the surface of a person or object. You can see aura's on people, animals, tree's, flowers, ground surfaces.. anything that has energy/matter is going to have an aura.  A persons aura can stretch from their body for a long length and the healthier a person is, the brighter and stronger looking it is.

    If you want to try and see aura's and haven't before.. look at the tree's of a forest from a distance. See the mirage look around them? There you go.
    There are also way to PHOTOGRAPH a persons Aura! I've had it done. Kirlian photography is what its called.

    Chakra's are .. best explained as points of energy in the body that are connected to you that have each, their own purpose.

    Each is connected in some way as energy points related to the Endocrine system.

    QUOTE "It is noted by many that there is a marked similarity between the positions and roles described for chakras, and the positions and roles of the glands in the endocrine system, and also by the positions of the nerve ganglia (also known as "plexuses") along the spinal cord (branching to plexuses by endocrine glands or organs), opening the possibility that two vastly different systems of conceptualization have been brought to bear to systematize insights about the same phenomenon. By some, chakras are thought of as having their physical manifestation in the body as these glands and their subjective manifestation as the associated emotional, mental, and spiritual experiences." END QUOTE

    There is The Crown Chakra, The Brow Chakra, The Throat Chakra, The Heart Chakra, The Solar Plexus Chakra, The Sacral (or Womb) Chakra and the Base (root)  Chakra
    Each has its own function, each has a color related to it.  Some may visualize their chakra's as those colors and some see them as prisms that reflect each of the colors as they flow.

    (Just figured I'd offer up a tidbit of my knowledge since I Have it..)

    As for your Halo.. It MIGHT have been you seeing your aura.. or it may have been a spiritual guide present with you. hard to say. Usealy I can see halo's on others through way of their aura, but this sounds like you seen something close to what a prism would reflect. Which I have seen around spirits. What some might see as 'orbs'

    Maybe you were protected today :)

    Uni you should really do a search on auras, there is so much to know.

     

    The aura is a protective shield that keeps you healthy and joyful. However, stress and illness may adversely affect your aura. When something blocks the energy flow within the aura, the shield weakens, making you unhappy, depressed or sick.

    OMG!

    Was it wet out, or raining that day? Share this with "COAST TO COAST AM" with Gearge Noory!

  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 11, 2009....
    Well, I've been out all day, so I'll do a group reply.  I think it could very well be my aura.  I am a little surprised by the color though.  I have had my aura read and it's never been described as rainbow colored.  I'm probably more inclined to think it could have been a spirit or guardian.  I've had encounters before where there was an interveining force or spirit.  Yesterday I was feeling very relaxed and it's possible that I was ready to see the orb.
  • mixednuts said on Oct 11, 2009....
    Thanks for your reply! Now you can sleep!
  • gingersoul said on Oct 11, 2009....

    Hey....did you see this?

    This is a humongous halo for sure....;-)
  • RollingC said on Oct 11, 2009....
    Sounds like you saw your own aura to me which is amazing.  I've never seen my own except in a photograph.

    @ Ginger...that is one big halo for sure.

     
  • MsStar39 said on Oct 12, 2009....
    It is said that we all have aura's but everyone can't see them.'
  • hairbrushedhubby said on Oct 12, 2009....

    My take on it is that it was a sign,

    You have been nominated as a saint.

    Yep sounds good to me, Saint Uniquely-Ironic. he he.

  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 12, 2009....

    ginger - nope, nothing that big :)

    RC - it was neat!  wouldn't mind seeing it again.

    MsStar - everyone does indeed have an aura, some stronger than others.

    hbh - I don't think sainthood suits me.  I'd have to be all good and stuff :P

  • kalbs said on Oct 12, 2009....
    OOOps!!  I should have asked a couple of questions. . . .
    Q: Was your shadow cast onto cement or asphalt?
    Q: Was the street wet, or damp ?
  • RollingC said on Oct 12, 2009....
    I've seen aura's and you can actually train yourself to 'see' them but it's not real easy.  You got to concentrate and relax mentally at the same time and it doesn't always work but when it does it's amazing.  Some people can actually see the colors which I can see only occasionally....except in a photograph...then it all comes out and it's really a mind boggling experience.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 12, 2009....
    kalbs - on asphalt and it was dry.  Haven't had rain in over a month.
     
    RC - I've seen auras on people.  Colors.  Usually people I know pretty well.  I think I'm not relaxed enough to see them on strangers.
  • queenparanoia said on Oct 13, 2009....

    one word...

    cool... :-)
