Um...I don't specifically believe in magic or however you want to say it...I don't specifically believe in anything. But anyways, I was in the gym and got bored before, so I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the people moving around me, and I managed to generally locate them based on the glowy yellow blobs that I could see. To remind my eyes were closed, and I was listening to my iPod at the time too.
What I want to know is, what the hell is that, seeing people as glowy yellow masses in my mind, which was actually working to locate them, is that an unbelivably undeveloped ability to sense auras or whatever, or some strange translation from my nose pointing out where people were based on body odor?
eeeh...

believe what you want.
"nothing is true; everything is permitted"
Oh I'm sure there are quite a few people here who could fit your experiance into there little paradigm belief systems, but its not about what WE believe about you, its about what YOU believe about you. Look at the experiance rationally and see what possible explanations you can come up with.
If you'd like some info on auras feel free to look into it and formulate your own belief. There is quite a bit of evidence to support auras in the form of Kirlian photography. that might give you a place to start. But even if it is your brain translating info from your nose your still looking at a form of ESP. Might be another good starting point for you.

Woo. Either that or you were looking through your third eye. Nicely done.
Practice this skill.

If you keep going there's a very good chance those yellow blobs will "clear up" and take shape. After that, distinguishing characteristics will stick out and whatnot.
I'd say just keep practicing. I'd also say that the yellow-ness probably had a lot to do with the lighting in the gym shining through your eyelids. Don't worry about color just, yet. In fact, don't worry at all about what it is. Just observe.

Sweet! I have this gift too, or rather this comes easy while other magick things come hard. Its neat that you see them as yellow, because I invariably see them as green.
What I can tell you is that it comes and goes with different things. Lots of meditation seems to bring it up, which is not always desirable. Also, auras might be a bad word, because if you have the same thing as me, you might notice it late at night in your dark room, that you can look through your eyelids, and around the room. To start out, Its always easiest to see my arm in front of my face when I am moving it. You'll notice its not light coming through your eyelids, because you can do it with a thick blindfold or your arm over your eyes in a dark room.
When you are in those states, flying in planes is particularly terrifying, be warned...there is something really fucked about about closing your eyes and seeing reality moving by at 300mph. (Otherwise I have no troubles flying.)
I wish I had more, but yeah, its real, and its nature is magickal, so keep up the mediatative practice (or excercise!) and see if you can grow it, its a good gift.
