Traveling is the preferred spelling in the U.S. Travelling is the preferred spelling in the UK or in the Commonwealth. This American-British spelling difference carries for other forms: traveled or travelled and traveler or traveller. Both spellings are correct.

“Traveled” and “travelled” mean the same thing and neither is strictly speaking “correct” or “incorrect. The correct American English spelling is “traveled,” while the correct British English spelling is “travelled.” So it’s not a battle of travelled vs traveled but rather a question of who will be reading your email.

Gray is the color of ashes and a punishment or penance was to walk barefoot in a town covered with ashes. Gray also has a Biblical meaning and is the Christian color for the season of Lent and closely associated with fasting and prayer.

Spiritual Properties of Grey Grey is often a calm and detached color that lacks energy. It is the color of balance and neutrality. It comes with spiritual properties that can affect those people who are attracted to this color.

Each layer of your aura is said to be represented by a different color. Some believe that the way these colors vary and interact illustrates how emotionally, spiritually, and physically complex you are. For example, some layers may be brighter if you’re more vibrant or have greater energy.

Grey energy is the energy hidden in a product, i.e. the amount of energy required to extract that product from nature, or to cultivate, manufacture, package and transport it. Objects can conceal very different levels of grey energy.

Migraine With Aura About 20% of people who suffer from migraine headaches will have an aura about 20 minutes to an hour before the pain. They may see flashing lights, wavy lines, or dots, or they may have blurry vision or blind spots. These are called “classic migraine headaches.”

Some people have both types of migraines. Although they sometimes have an aura without the headache, at other times they may get a headache after an aura. Without treatment, migraines can last from 4 hours to a few days. Medicines can help prevent migraines or stop them once they have started.

As it passes over the brain, blood vessels constrict, limiting oxygen flow. Researchers believe the cortical depression may be the cause of the visual auras that some people with migraine experience. These auras result in people seeing dark or colored spots, sparkles, or other visual disturbances.

Options include: Blood pressure lowering medications. These include beta blockers such as propranolol (Inderal, Innopran XL, others), metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) and timolol (Betimol). Calcium channel blockers such as verapamil (Calan, Verelan, others) can be helpful in preventing migraines with aura.

Many of the same factors that trigger migraine can also trigger migraine with aura, including stress, bright lights, some foods and medications, too much or too little sleep, and menstruation.

Yes, It Can Happen, and It’s Called an Ocular Migraine. Seeing spots, zig-zags, flashes of light or double vision can be a sign of an ocular migraine, a kind of migraine without a headache.

Auras commonly last 10 to 30 minutes. A sensory aura is also common. It can occur at the same time as the visual aura, directly afterwards or simply on its own. A sensory aura begins as a tingling in one limb or a feeling of numbness that travels up your arm over 10 to 20 minutes.

There is currently a limited amount of research involving prolonged aura (PA) in migraine—having 1 or more aura symptoms lasting between 60 minutes and 7 days. However, a recent study has found that prolonged auras are common and are phenotypically similar to other auras (non-PAs).

“People talk about an aura as being a symptom they experience prior to going into a full seizure. And for each person it’s a little different.” From the perspective of an epilepsy specialist like Privitera, however, an aura is not a precursor to a seizure at all.

An aura – often called a warning – is a sensation which some people get just before they have a seizure. An aura is actually a simple partial seizure (see below) and can happen on its own, without progressing into another seizure.
