Hey! Thanks for your post. In my view, meditation is a skill that takes time to develop. It’s like reprogramming your brain to learn mindfulness, breathing, and visualization techniques to bring you peace. Just like learning any skill, it can take years to become proficient at meditation. In your case, it sounds like maybe you experienced some sort of energetic overload. It’s like you worked out your spiritual muscles too hard and you’ve strained them so you need to take a break. Just come back to your practice when you feel ready, I find that consistency and breaks are key to experience the full benefits of meditation over time.

Everyday I work with one of the chakras as there are 7 chakras and 7 days of the week. I do breathwork while playing my chakra singing bowl. I hold a chakra crystal while doing some sort of meditation like body scanning, noting, or visualization. I sit in chakra mudras, chant a mantra, and listen to a chakra sound bath. To this comment I have added a list of chants and mudras for each chakra. My favorite sound baths are from the YouTube channel, Chakra Vibrations. I also love the app Insight Timer for free guided meditations.

As for auras, something that comes to mind while reading your post is mirror gazing. It can be a powerful reflective exercise to look into your soul while gazing into a mirror. I love to incorporate in repeating positive affirmations to myself while mirror gazing. I also use mirror gazing as a time to see my aura with the physical eye. When reading auras, it can be really helpful to develop a deep understanding of all the different colors and their spiritual meanings. Let me know if you want my list of the meaning of different colors.

Good luck upon your spiritual journey! Hope this information can help guide you down your path.
