Nimbus
| Knowledge Sphere: | Real Social Dynamics |
Quick Definition: The positive energy that a PUA projects, or the manifestation of a person’s state of mind that creates a strong aura and vibe around his body. Aka “halo”.
Full Definition:
A nimbus is not something that is physical, but it can be observed through the actions and interactions of the owner of that energy. It is a positive energy that is subcommunicated through a PUA’s actions. Great pickup instructors possess a very powerful nimbus or presence. As Jeffy often says, “I am surrounded by a shining nimbus of golden light”.
A halo is a similar concept, and the term comes from the golden circle above an angel’s head. It is a powerful visualization technique that many PUAs use to help get them into state, and surround themselves with an energy and vibe that is very powerful.
And sometimes, if you look close enough, the nimbus and halo shines so bright you can almost see it.
