Aura Reading of Beautiful Brittany Murphy

The beautiful starlet died young. At the time of her death last Sunday, Brittany Murphy was just 32. To this aura reader, her story is a cautionary tale. What happens to those who chase after a dream for which they lack performance charisma?

Everyone deserves to dream. No question there. If someone like Brittany wants to act, it’s hardly a rare ambition these days. She or he has every right to pursue that dream. Only Brittany’s life story may remind you that gifts of the soul show in aura reading. If only she had done the sort of research I am going to do here, she might have chosen a different path and be living now.

I’m not criticizing Brittany’s choices. Every soul has the right to pursue any dream. Only millions of people right now are like Brittany, desiring fame and wealth through performance, whether acting or singing or playing guitar, becoming a top model or, if all else fails, celebrity like the small change that Tareq and Michaele Saladhi recently collected — being famous just for being famous.

Celebrity can become a dream. Yet all such dreams are negotiable.

For many people, it’s just common sense not to quit your day job until that part-time gig turns serious. Or, for those who just must go Hollywood, there still can be an exit plan. Ringo Starr had already become rich and famous when he was asked in an interview what he expected to do when the whole Beatles thing blew over. His thoughtful answer was that he planned to become a hairdresser.

Evidently Brittany Murphy had no such plan. When she went into cardiac arrest at home, that future looked pretty bleak. Here are the highlights of her career:

• Born in 1977, in her late teens she actively sought stardom, moving to L.A. with her mother.
• It worked, at first. She won roles in big movies: “Clueless” and “Drop Dead Gorgeous,” plus “Girl, Interrupted.”
• A career highlight was playing Eminem’s love interest in the 2002 movie “8 Mile.” (Not an English major’s dream, for sure! We would have held out until we could be cast in a more high-class film like “Nine Miles.”)
• The descending career arc began. Two movies flopped in a row, including “Uptown Girls” where she played Dakota Fanning’s babysitter.
• Voice work gave Brittany the chance to portray the empty-headed Luanne Platter in the cartoon series “King of the Hill.”
• Earlier this December, she was fired from the movie set of “The Caller.”
• According to The Washington Post, “In recent years, Murphy worked mostly in low-budget movies, while her emaciated appearance sparked concerns about her health.”

How aura reading can bring perspective to Brittany’s sad story

Brittany did all that she could. She was, or became, blonde. She definitely became anorexic. As demonstrated in our photo at the top of this post, Brittany achieved the familiar female star body that is seldom found in nature: Stick arms and legs, plus a very large chest. Fabulous muscle tone is, of course, required.

Such a body takes work, probably surgery and definitely enormous determination. Certainly the paired photos here suggest that, at a minimum, Brittany wasn’t afraid to have temporary work done on her lips.

One reason to do aura reading is to be able to sort out if there is real performance talent. I’m going to do that now.

Certainly there can be factors in success, such as nepotism and pure luck. Yet you’ll find that most performers who do really well do have charisma. And that charisma is strong enough to show at the level of auras.

My related term, as an aura reader, is Auric Modeling.

Auric Modeling and Screen Chemistry

Auric Modeling means something that every human being does. If you’re alive, you have an aura, an energy field. It is full of information. And this kind of information can’t be faked.

Can some parts of a person’s aura change? Definitely.

Are there some parts that can’t? Yes, indeed. One thing that cannot be changed is innate performance talent, a.k.a. “charisma.”

Another thing that can’t be changed, incidentally, is whether a person is born as an empath.

Singing, dancing, and all forms of performance, require technical skill. Brittany Murphy may have developed plenty of that. I only saw her act once, in “Clueless,” and she certainly wasn’t terrible or I would have remembered that.

Acting that part, Brittany had to be able to learn her lines, do the blocking, get her voice right, make her lines sound believable — and I don’t mean to suggest for a moment that she failed to gain a skill set, and a difficult one at that. But no effort could give her charisma.

And charisma matters so much for the arts that, out of all types of work and careers, only performers are said to have, or not have, “screen chemistry.” That’s as close to mainstream as any form of aura reading is yet.

Why do actors need screen chemistry? Because otherwise their performances don’t stick. They’re instantly forgettable.

If you have zero sparkle and verve, you might make a fine accountant. You could even become a good teacher, albeit a dull one. But for an actor or artist or writer, sorry. No charisma and automatically your job prospects shrink.

That’s why I wish Brittany Murphy had gotten some good, detailed feedback about her aura, such as she is being given here, posthumously and with all respect. Just today I read in the Washington Post that when she died alone, her home was well stocked with prescription meds for depression and anxiety, plus even more meds for physical pain.

Aspiring actors, keep reading today’s cautionary tale.

Top 10 Aura Reading Databanks for Performance Talent

For our research, let’s use this photo of Brittany Murphy in full-fledged star mode, pushing it, trying her utmost to make us love her. If you’d like to join me at reading this, use the Photo Reading techniques from Read People Deeper or Empowered by Empathy.

To make things easier, use this Aura Reading Link to open the photo in another window. Then you can pull on the corners to enlarge this great-quality picture.

For this Aura Reading of Brittany, I’m checking her out at the third layer quite consistently. Inch-age, based on my perception, is being supplied for the purpose of comparing the size of different chakra databanks.

1. Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra: Presence as a Performer

1 inch. What makes this chakra databank so teensy? Part of the answer will show in the fourth Aura Reading Databank of this survey. Otherwise, it’s a combination of STUFF and underuse of personal resources.

Blander than tofu, this starlet has no discernable personality. One problem is that she has little sense of self, apart from how she physically looks.

Deeper down, sure, there’s a gift of her soul. Every chakra databank contains a gift. Hers is a complete willingness to please the audience.

To find this, I had to do the equivalent of squinting. If her aura had been free of STUFF…. If Brittany had worked just one fifth as hard at getting to know herself as a person, compared to all the effort she put forth on flab-fighting, couture, etc…. Any of that would have made a big difference, too.

But this still wouldn’t have given her performance talent. It’s called “God-given” for a reason. Everyone has very real talents. They’re just not necessarily for fame-bringing pursuits.

2. Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra: Personality PROJECTED as a Performer

1/8 inch. By the time of this photo, Brittany has stopped trying to project anything. She has become confused about the difference between how a person physically looks and who that person is.

By leaving aside her interest in inner life, Ms. Murphy may have competed to be the thinnest starlet on the set. But she stopped portraying much else.

3. Aura Reading Databank at the Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra: Earning Money

1 inch. Here is yet more proof that, by pursuing her dream of “Famous Actress,” Brittany had made a very extreme choice. And that choice was not supported much financially.

At the time of this photo, Brittany’s aura may have been different from other times in her career. Reading her in this relatively recent picture, I find a lot of fear in this databank, small though it is.

Would this chakra databank have shown up differently if Brittany had chosen a different line of work? Definitely. Everybody has some money-making choices that are more lucrative than others. If they are ignored and/or STUFF is blocking prosperity, there’s going to be big trouble, not a big income.

4. Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra: Physical Stability

This databank includes probing for substance addictions

1/2 inch. Although there might have been occasional playing around with prescribed meds or recreational chemicals, that wasn’t Britney’s real problem.

Here’s a hint, a body that screams, “Feed me.”

Note: I wrote this aura reading research before learning in today’s newspaper about all Ms. Murphy’s prescribed medications.

5. Aura Reading Databank at the Aura Reading Databank at the Belly Chakra: Sex Appeal as a Performer

1/8 inch. Some performers can flaunt sexiness even if it’s quite unimportant to them personally. (See my Aura Reading Research on Brad Pitt .)

Brittany Murphy did not have talent for that, unfortunately. The tiny bit of sexual connection that shows is, frankly, sad. I mean “sad” as an emotion.

The star may have been confused by the popular myth that, supposedly, sexiness means matching the Anorexic Ideal: The larger the implants, the skinnier the rest, the blonder the hair, the more desirable will a woman be.

This has absolutely nothing to do with sexual performance, sexual desire, or the ability to give or receive love on any level. Ms. Murphy learned this to her sorrow.

6. Aura Reading Databank at the Solar Plexus Chakra: Self-Confidence as a Performer

1/8 inch. No significant confidence was left by the time of this photograph. Brittany didn’t have charisma as a performer. So it’s not surprising that, after years in the business, she lacked confidence. What the sweet young thing worked at hard at was appearance.

Possibly she worked really hard on her acting, as well. I’m not familiar enough with her history to tell.

What I can tell you, based on familiarity with many, many people’s auras, is that everyone has ways of being talented in life. Especially if those personal, authentic talents are augmented by learning technique, working hard, etc., that person can gain self-confidence at that kind of work.

However, what results from throwing one’s life at a career with a requirement at the level of Auric Modeling and that requirement can’t be met? Hard work and determination won’t make up for that.

If you want to become a dentist, you’re going to need some built-in coordination circuits for doing fine work. Any such talent can be greatly refined. Most human beings might lack that talent in the first place. Yet one reason why you are not, probably, a dentist!

Performing without charisma — in nearly all cases that can turn into the kind of nightmare that developed for Brittany. But by this December, she was so heavily invested in a failing career. What else was she going to do with her life, at the time when her heart gave out? And speaking of heart…

7. Aura Reading Databank at the Heart Chakra: Emotional Range as a Performer

2 inches. Consider this chakra databank Brittany’s great triumph. She worked really, really hard to put emotion into her roles.

Think what that must have been like, playing a vacuous Texan cartoon figure or the babysitter to a much more popular, younger, blonde star.

Frustration and other STUFF at this chakra databank are understandable. I greatly admire that this databank became as large as it did, given the lack of innate acting charisma.

8. Aura Reading Databank at the Throat Chakra: Communication as a Performer

This is a make-or-break chakra databank for any performer. If you’ve got great chops as a communicator, it makes up for just about everything. (Think of wobbly-voiced, off-pitch Broadway chanteuse Ethel Merman.)

1 inch. Brittany has overcome some shyness and used discipline to communicate as a performer. That courage is gorgeous.

Otherwise I notice nothing significant. Charisma of any kind aurically for performance continues to be conspicuously absent.

9. Aura Reading Databank at the Third Eye Chakra: Keeping it Real as a Person

1/8 inch. How could this databank be doing well? Even when Brittany’s career has hit a point of no return, and not such a high point at that, she lives in a fantasy world where anything is possible.

Aura Reading Databank at the High Heart Chakra: Soul Thrill

Research here answers the question, “Does this individual do things each day that makes him/her truly happy, deep down?” Those things don’t have to be grand or glorious. For Rose Rosetree, one great choice is polishing silver. The question here is whether Brittany Murphy did enough Soul Thrill activities, performing included, to make her life feel worthwhile.

0 inches. The Soul Thrill databank flatlines. In this respect, the late actress is not unusual. Life isn’t just about “Follow your dream.” Each of us is loaded with activities, sports, hobbies, choices of all kinds, big and small, that thrill the soul. The trick is to find out what they are.

One way to research this for yourself is a session of Aura Reading Research on the topic of Thrill Your Soul. Another resource is my annual workshop to help you learn these Thrill Your Soul research skills. Some seats are still available for this January 2010 workshop, the tuition just $99.

CONCLUSION

Brittany Murphy was brave. She worked hard. She showed discipline and dedication. The tragedy was, she didn’t have charisma in a field that requires it.

Every soul learns from every lifetime, so this difficult life has surely been valuable for her, long-run.

Also, it was a story of modest success. Many an aspiring Brittany Murphy never made it into a movie at all, low budget or otherwise. She did what she came to do. But the learning may have had more to do with a major life lesson than with the joys of acting.

Brittany learned the hard way that drive isn’t enough. Nor does the strong desire to do a particular kind of work necessarily not mean you have talent. Or that the required talent can be developed. Or that real market demand exists for what you would supply.

Forget “Do what you love, the money will follow” unless you take time to do frequent reality checks.
