The Energetic
Bodies
What are the energetic bodies?
Ki. Qi. Prana. Life Force. All are terms you’ve
likely heard, and all refer to the energy at the core of
our physical bodies. This is also a significant
component of our energetic bodies and our connection
to the rest of the Universe.
I think most people are familiar with
the concept of an aura. Using the
term in the generic sense, everything
has an aura … it is merely a
bioelectric field that extends beyond
the physical body. With a living body (people,
animals, plants) this aura that surrounds the body
actually has multiple layers.
Many who deal with the metaphysical refer to the
“subtle bodies” which is a catch phrase referring to the
energies that extend past our physical bodies but that
can’t be seen or felt by most people. Occasionally
someone will refer to a person’s aura when they really
mean one (or more) of the subtle bodies … please note
that the two terms are not synonymous and while the
aura may be considered one of the subtle bodies it is
not the only subtle body a person has.
OK … so what’s the point
of the subtle bodies? As I
mentioned above, our core
life force energy is what
connects our physical body
to the rest of the energy in
the Universe. I think of the
subtle bodies sort of like
the Earth’s magnetosphere … the field protects the
Earth from damage that the solar wind could cause,
but it also interacts with the solar wind (like we see
when the Northern Lights are glowing).
It’s not a perfect analogy but our subtle bodies act in a
similar manner, both protecting us from, and
interacting with the other energies in the Universe.
When in session with an energetic healing practitioner,
they are able to sense the strength of your subtle
bodies, determine if there are problem areas that are
weak, and enhance or repair the energy within.
So why is this important?
Simply put, we need to
maintain the “health” of our
energetic fields in order to
maintain optimum physical
health. Many people are
aware of how important it is to regularly check, clear,
and balance the chakras and/or meridian pathways, but
even most of them neglect the subtle bodies because
they don’t fully understand the intricacies of how the
physical and energetic bodies behave and interact with
the energies in the Universe.
Bottom line … visiting an energetic healing
practitioner and having a session to periodically clear
and balance your energy will give you the best
possible chance at health and protecting yourself from
unwanted or negative energies around you.
