Excuse me while i head butt my way into this discussion. @
Poetic Justice and @
Serenity, I have seen this sort of discussion happen so many times, and I think I have an idea as to why nobody ever walks away from it satisfied. Basically, there are always two sides: (a) the one who is/considers themself to be very familiar with scientific knowledge and thought (here, Poetic Justice) who doesn't quite understand metaphysical things but sincerely wants to; (b) the one who is/considers themself to be very familiar with metaphysical workings, and often practices them, and (at least initially) has enough patience to try to explain it to the scientific minded person.
So we have a discussion between two people coming from very different perspectives participating in a nice an civil conversation. Because its often clear that the metaphysics person is explaining, and the physics person is trying to understand, the metaphysics person tried to put what they're explaining in some sort of physics jargon. However, and this is where the disconect happens, the jargon does not actually explain what is trying to be explained, often because the metaphysics community often uses the same terms to mean something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. So, the term energy does generally mean the potential to do work in both realms, but what counts as "work" does not (though the term "work" isn't ever really metaphysical jargon). And, really, in metaphysics, "vibrations" is a metaphor for who know the hell what. It does not meaing the oscillation of a material. It may happen someday that metaphyscial "vibrations" are actually waves propogating across some medium, but not yet.
So, with that compounding factor going on, the scientifically minded person often picks up on the jargon, and understands it as actually meaning what the terms mean in scientific jargon. And thus the information that is (b) is trying to transmit to (a) is lost, there's a misunderstanding, there's accusations of self contradiction where there were no contradictions, people get upset, and no one walks away with a better understanding of the world.
I don't know a good solution. As far as I understand metaphysical things, the English language does not provide the terms to adequetly convey whats going on, and so conveying that info to someone who doesn;t already understand is incredibly difficult.
As far as auras go, I do believe in them, I think they're something that exist independantly of micro-expression and the like. While I acknowledge that Poetic Justice's explaination is good and parsimonious, I don't accept arguments of parsimony when it comes to my religious beliefs, so...
ETA: I just remembered I wanted to say this. @
CindyLou , I have a friend who sees aura differently, and sees Yang as being bright and Yin as being dark. So, while the anger explainations may be true, they could just be remarking on your introvertedness.
