‘You Can See the Whites in Her Eyes’ – Chris Evert Once Narrated a Spooky ‘Aura Reader’ Tale and How She Enjoyed the Whole Process

American tennis great Chris Evert was a force to reckon with in the 70s. Later in the 80s, she faced some tough competitors. Out of all, Martina Navratilova was the toughest. Evert and Navratilova turned into intense rivals and were the best crowd entertainers of their time. Chris Evert gave up tennis in 1989. Later she appeared in an interview with the Times. Here, she discussed various aspects of her life and tennis career.

Interestingly, she also recalled a time when she visited an Aura reader. Here’s what she said about the experience.

When Chris Evert met an Aura Reader

The interviewer asked Evert about her recent visit to the Aura reader. To which Evert agreed and explained the different ‘aura’ a person has and how the lady was surprisingly right about almost every aspect of her life. “You have like seven or eight of them, things like spirituality, career, health. And this woman was right on every single one of them; about my strengths and weaknesses and my fears _ things people wouldn’t know about me. Like my relationship with my parents. All these dark secrets that everybody has,” Evert said.

When the interviewer asked if it was like a fortune-teller, the former world number one said, “But she’s not a fortuneteller. She sits back and her eyes roll back in her head. You can see the whites of her eyes. I had to say my name three times, and then she said the first aura she saw was my favorite color. And it was lavender. She was right.”

Evert asks people to take mental health seriously

After the covid-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp rise in cases of mental health issues. A few prominent celebrities and athletes came forward and publicly discussed the challenges they were facing. With this, the discussion about mental health has become common.

One of the very common forms of mental health issues is anxiety. On the occasion of Mental Health day (10th October), the 18-time Grand Slam champion took to her Twitter account and urged her fans to talk about their problem and ask for help if they are suffering from anxiety.
