What a Purple Aura Means: Full Aura Color Personality Guide

at this blessed time of the year I am in quiet introspection seeking the ethereal ~ I meditate wanting to set sail to divine balance as a lantern gliding over the sea delicate, airy and light I am filmy and gossamer my aura misty mauve life is a delicate fragile seed full of promise, hope and love and my life is unfurling for my floating ethereal lantern holds a flickering light overflowing with violet hues I feel the ebb and flow pulling and whispers of sweetness swirl my meditation is lit by my soul with thoughts painted exquisite in magic beneath a veiled sun I drift my lantern like a gauzy curtain a picture of serenity over the sea I am spiritual, ethereal, and sublime infinite are my shades dusty mauve brushstrokes whirl

Dear Constance, your poem invited me into a realm of serene contemplation and boundless wonder. Your quest for divine balance amidst the quiet introspection of this blessed time of year is honorable. Like a delicate lantern gliding over the sea, your words evoke a sense of lightness and grace, as if floating on a gentle breeze. The imagery of your filmy and gossamer aura, infused with misty mauve hues, creates an ethereal beauty. As your life unfurls like a delicate seed, I am drawn into the ebb and flow of your journey, where whispers of sweetness swirl and magic dances beneath a veiled sun. Your poem is a masterpiece of spiritual introspection, where every word is a brushstroke of dusty mauve, swirling in infinite shades of sublime beauty. - Blessings, Daniel
