The Human Energy Field

One thing we have learned through years of witnessing the evolution of conventional medicine is that there is so much that we do not yet understand about the human experience, the human form, the human condition.  It has been said that this is partly attributable to an excessive pre-occupation with the physical level condition and a lack of consideration for the others aspects of the human being; emotional, mental,  spiritual & beyond.  However, clearly in the last 20 years there has been a new emphasis on “whole” person health with the growing realization of the interdependence of the mind, body, spirit connection.

 

 

The below information is a very basic [& limited] description and simplistic paradigm to help in basic understanding of some of the elements & considerations of the human consciousness & energy body. It can be used as a simple platform to inspire reflection of areas of self so that we are better able to perceive the elements which may be required to bring about healing, wellness, balance and wholeness within us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The image on the left is a reflection of a person’s energy field taken by the “Aurastar 2000” imaging system.  This imaging system is an advanced technology which transmits a “picture” of your energy field onto a grid which is in the form of the famous sketch by Leonardo Da Vinci.  This scan may provide useful information about the present condition of one’s energy field or subtle bodies, one’s body organs and glands, and a variety of other useful information.  The image on the right depicts the location of the seven major energy centers in the human body.  These are called “chakras”.

 

In the image on the left, the colors surrounding this person are a reflection of the energies coming into this person’s being, as well as the energies which are being emitted from this person’s being, as well as the overall energetic composition of this person.  These colors and energies that are around us tell a great deal about our present condition at all levels.  This could be described as one’s “true” colors.

 

These subtle energies, sometimes called “life-force” energies, or ki, or chi, or prana, are present everywhere in and around us, and permeate this entire universe.  Scientists have become aware of the existence of subtle energies through the use of Kirlian photography, as well as other methods, and have already validated the existence of the human auric field which surrounds each one of us.

 

And so it is that now we can see that the physical body, or that part of us that is seen with the human eye, is only a tiny fragment of all that we actually are. Extending outwards from our physical body is our etheric body, which may be likened to an energetic “blueprint” and image of our physical bodies.  Our etheric body is followed by our emotional body which is, in essence, our subjective experience of life in our feelings and emotions. The emotional body is like swirling blobs of color which change with our changing emotions and moods.  The emotional body is a reflection of how we feel.  Our emotional body is followed by our mental body, which is the layer of our being which contains thoughts and ideas.  The mental body is where we try to bring our ideas into form through the use of our mind and our intellect.  Our mental body is followed by our spiritual body, within which, are a number of other layers of differentiated activity.

 

Within each of these body layers, there are intricate energetic structures and systems, the nature and scope of which we are still learning about.  The sum total of these bodies can extend to 3 feet and much more outside of our physical body.  This is known as our auric field.

 

We also have energy centers in our body called “chakras”.  Chakras are vortexes of energy and consciousness centers that transform and transmit energy, and interface between the dense physical world and the realms of light, spirit and pure consciousness.  They are the “machinery” that allows us, as spiritual beings, to take embodiment.  They each have a unique attunement or frequency.  They hold memory within them and are responsible for feeding the vital organs of our body.  When the chakras become blocked, the flow of ki is impaired. When the flow of ki is impaired, the natural healthy flow of our being is disturbed.  This is how illness begins on the subtle levels.

 

We actually have hundreds of chakras throughout our energy body but for the purposes of this site, we will take a look at what have come to be known as the seven major chakras because they are of primary importance in the reestablishment of health and wellness within us.  The Following Chart will give you a general idea about the chakras and their related issues in order to assist you to evaluate your present condition on the subtle levels.
