Wait 'til you hear what happened to me last night!
Another friend popped over to see me yesterday (I seem to be popular at the moment!) and so I was quite late going to bed.
I thought I would read before I went to sleep, as it had been a hectic night - I'd been cooking and generally entertaining my friend - so I needed to wind down a little.
As I looked at the page of my book, I couldn't see the words properly. It was like someone had flashed a bright light in my eyes, or, you know when you accidentally glance at the sun, and you get spots in front of your eyes for a while? It was like that.
I rubbed my eyes a few times, but it lasted for about 5 minutes. Then, I started to see colours. Not straight in front of me, just on the left hand side, and in my peripheral vision. I looked at the cat (not straight on) and saw all these beautiful colours shimmering off him. It was like a heat haze, but the colours were undulating in and out as he breathed. The same thing happened when I looked peripherally at the left hand side of my body. Golds and yellows shimmered and undulated from my arm and upper torso.
By now, I am panicking a little - this wasn't like "seeing" an aura in meditation, or the way I have strained to see them before, just making out a flash of colour. This was like I had taken an acid tab!
I suddenly thought, "what if I am having a brain heammoraghe?", and so I said to Lightning Tree, "please, can you make it stop? I am very grateful that you have given me this gift, but I need to find out more about it, and about how to control it". Immediately, my vision returned to normal.
All the time this was going on, my left eye and left side of my face was burning hot.
I am going to me Spiritualist Church tonight, and I am going to ask the Medium about it, so I'll let you know what happens.
