question/s: when you begin to see auras...

what would you see at first?

I'm trying to open up to it by following one of the links i found on the forums. It said a good way to learn is to start with yourself, a pet, or plant.
I decided to start with myself with the technique of looking into a mirror in a dim room with a white background behind myself.
Today was only the second time i had done it, the first was good as i could see sort of a glow around me but i didn't do it for very long.
Today i did it for a bit & it was pretty cool, to me anyway :)
I saw the 'glow' around my body, it got more noticeable the more i kept focus. It was white light & got so bright i felt like i was glowing so much. I felt great, it was a good feeling, i liked it. Did it for a bit longer then stopped as i was quiet content.
Is this how i would start to see auras do you think? Would the colors somehow appear as i keep doing it and is the white light energy? and do you think the feeling i had is that energy?
