Auras and Crowds

Posted on November 27, 2011September 12, 2026 By kal 2 Comments on Auras and Crowds
Energy work, Experiment, Quickie

Recently I had my first experience of Thanksgiving in the States. I was excitedly looking forward to Macy’s parade and was wondering what kind of energy would be floating around.

I know from experience and dowsing that the energy of crowds is fascinating and disturbing. From experiments I have conducted in shopping halls I have learned that it isn’t the wandering around shopping centers that makes you tired it is the rustling interaction of aura energies that is the cause.

When we are in such an environment where people are moving hither and thither (often frantically) and passing quite close to each other, through each others personal spaces (auras), then this interaction causes upheavals or eddies in our own auric energy. This turbulent energy causes us to become:

  • Tired
  • Irritable
  • Moody
  • Angry

and other synonymous emotions.

Macy’s Parade

As I set of for the parade my expectations were that a similar effect would be experienced. To this end I spent a few minutes re-arranging my aura to fit snugly about my body and also some levels of protection around me. I hoped that this would keep me from the energetic maelstrom and my emotions would be my own.

The number of people watching the parade is staggering. Down each of the (seemingly narrow) streets people thronged for the merest glance of the floating balloons, never mind the actual people parading. My girlfriend and I found the going tough as we tried to get close to the avenue that the parade was flowing down.

As we pushed our way through I realised that I wasn’t feeling the effects that I associated with being in crowded places. My aura shrinking plus protection must be working well today I thought, even though the number of people was immense. Having failed in anyway to get close enough to the parade we gave it up and stood (pressed in from all sides) some thirty foot from the passing parade.

As I looked around me I noted with some pleasure that even though the people were hopelessly too far to see the parade they were still pretty amiable. Considering the often bumps and grazes they were taken from people still trying to move forward and indeed people giving up and moving back out of the gathering. Every so often a cheer would erupt when one of the mighty balloons (visible from afar) would pass by.

Having energy in mind from the outset my curiosity was peaked. Why weren’t the crowd feeling the effects of interacting energies? With some trepidation I lowered my protection and set about making my aura its normal size.

By making my aura its normal size I simply removed the intention for it to be fixed close to my skin and to puff it up with air so that it ballooned out.

Having done this I tried to forget that I did it so as to later see how my feelings had been. All the while this was happening my girlfriend, who is not fond of crowds at the best of times was getting more and more irate. At one point she decided enough was enough and began making her (crushing) way back out of the crowd. Dutifully I followed her and we were able to take refuge in a cafe close to where the crowd was thinning out.

Whilst she was trying to collect her thoughts (and her energy) she looked across at me in annoyance. Why are you so cheerful? she asked. I reflected upon my mood and realised that I was indeed cheerful. I said that the mood of the crowd must have affected me.

Even as I said it, my mind was formulating an idea. Could it be that the crowd having a collective psychology during the parade also had a collective energetic state too? Did the crowd have a kind of collective aura too? One that you naturally tapped into (if you didn’t have protection around you)? If so, why wasn’t my girlfriend affected in the same way? Why wasn’t her aura joining in so to speak?

It was time to dowse some answers…

  • Did (or do) crowds that have a purpose or intent create a collective aura? Yes
  • Was reconfiguring my aura stopping me from interacting with the crowds aura? Yes
  • Was placing protection around me also interrupting the joining of auras? Yes
  • When I lifted the aura configuration and protection, did I join with the crowds aura? Yes
  • Was the whole of the crowds mood like it was because of the crowd aura? No
  • As a percentage how much was psychological and how much energetic? 25/55 (I know the figures don’t add up, there is a missing component that I couldn’t find). Note though that 25% was psychological, I wasn’t expecting that at all.

A curiously interesting set of results I have to say and another avenue of energetic exploration. But a point still remained on my to ponder list. Why wasn’t my girlfriend affected by the crowd aura? I questioned the rods…

  • Had my girlfriend put some protection around herself? No
  • Had she intentionally shaped her aura? No
  • Was she being affected by the crowd aura? Yes
  • Was it having the same effects on her? No
  • It was having a negative effect.

There was obviously some reason as to why she wasn’t being affected in the same way. Then it came to me, was it because she was going through her period? Yes! Aha! What a finding. Definitely more to explore about energies here.
