An Aura of Mystery

When I first started thinking about what I wanted to call this blog, I was stumped. It was like trying to come up with a good headline. I wanted something catchy, something with an underlying meaning and something which just sounded good. So I made an extensive list of some catchy words and started playing around with them. When I finally came up with Indigo Aura, I instantly fell in love with it. My grandparents and Dan's aunt, Denise, are very into spirtualistic healing, reiki and clairvoyancy. I must admit, I'd always been curious and as I was growing up, every now and then my Grandma would say, 'There's something very special about you.' Something which one of her spiritual friends had also noticed.

It wasn't until I had this very strange experience one day that it stopped me in my tracks. I was at work one day (back when I was working in retail) and a customer, or what I thought was a customer, walked in and stood very, very close behind me. We're talking very close, she definately invavded my private space. She was an older lady with brilliant white hair and repeatedly asked me to check the time. She asked probably about three or four times before slowly walking back out the shop whilst looking at me intently.

It was strange. It could have just been a crazy old lady just wandering the streets of Leamington (probably more likely of an explanation), but for some reason, in a split second, I made the decision to contact all my loved ones to see if they were safe. Or to see if anything formidable had happened at that time of day. Everyone was fine, so it probably nothing more than a confused old lady. But I mentioned the incident to my grandma and she just smiled and said, 'Never pass those things off as nothing'.

Strange as though it may sound, to this day, I still think there is more to it that meets the eye. I think my Grandma might be onto something.

That said, when I had picked the name Indigo Aura for my blog, I googled it to see what it might mean and what an indigo aura stood for. Turns out it relates to the third eye, seeing something that's not always in front of you. To have an indigo aura means you are intuitive and it reveals psychic power of attunement with the self. It indicates people who are clairvoyant, gifted in magic, sensitive, deep feeling, empathic and often spiritual.

Coincidence? I'm starting to think not.
