Seeing Auras and beyond..?

I learned how to see auras since I was 12 (now 18).. although I didn't practice it for years now, I regained an interest in spirituality and energies. Although its still hard, I saw my aura clearly (purple-indigo) and others such as teachers and clmates. A long time ago when I was at a Buddhist monastery, they said I was an Indigo child and can easily learn spirituality. The only thing I naturally feel is peoples emotions (somewhat) / characteristics / and Intelligent level before they even speak, just by looking in their eyes and my feelings are usually right. After I learn and practice how to see auras naturally, what should be my next step or what should I learn to do? How I will figure out myself, but I want to be feeling peoples energy. A few problems that I am working on is accepting religion (I don't believe in god, but I do believe in an energy out there in space), and drug addiction (I live in Brooklyn, people in Urban areas loose sense of spirituality) with both seeing good progress.
