СКАЧАТЬ and the physical body is akin to the jelly. Although physical forms are separate entities, they are linked in terms of energy to all other bodies.

      The human electromagnetic energy field can be measured with sensitive instruments such as vacuum tube voltmeters. It responds to the energetic impulses associated with different kinds of thoughts: positive thinking strengthens the energy field, and negative thoughts weaken it. Certain vibrational wave forms in the environment also influence our energy field. Fluctuations in the Earth’s electromagnetic field, for example, have a direct effect on our vitality and health.

      Western medical science has made extensive studies of the Earth’s electromagnetic field. Careful monitoring has shown that there is a link between field flow (the strength of intensity of the electromagnetic currents or waves) and the occurrence of viral and bacterial epidemics. In short we are locked into a life-field which links and affects us all.

      MAPPING THE ENERGIES

      For centuries healers have been working with different energy systems described by ancient medical and esoteric teachings. To grasp the principles of vibrational healing it is helpful to know a little about these.

      THE AURA

      Since time immemorial artists and mystics have seen auras. Ancient Indian sculptures, Aboriginal rock paintings and Native American totem sculptures all show figures surrounded by light or with lines emanating from their bodies. Around 500 BC the Pythagoreans of Ancient Greece were the first to describe the aura as a luminous body. They believed its light could produce a variety of effects in humans.

      The aura is an invisible, yet luminous kind of radiation which resembles a halo surrounding the physical body. It has parallels with the electromagnetic force field, in that it surrounds the body with a field of biomagnetic energy, which acts as a barometer of the body’s physiological pro-cesses. All life forms possess an aura, composed of vibrational frequencies emitted by fundamental particles of the body.

      Human auras vary widely in size, density and colour and consist of different coloured light rays, each associated with an organ of the body. The vibrancy and hue of an aura depends on the person’s spiritual evolution as well as his or her general health. The more balanced and healthy you are, the greater your auric field.

      The shape, colour and strength of the rays vary from person to person, reflecting their personality, mood, emotions and experiences. For example, a lot of red in an aura indicates the presence of anger, while blue relates to idealism. Those who have auras with soft edges are susceptible to the influence of others, while a hard, distinct outline may indicate a person with a defensive or aggressive attitude resulting from deep insecurity.

      The aura is a reflection of the immune system. The stronger your aura, the more resilient you are to illness. An aura can radiate some three or four feet from the body, its energy infusing the whole subtle body system (see below). In ill health, the aura shrinks back close to the body in an attempt to conserve vital energy.

      THE SUBTLE BODIES

      The subtle bodies are layers of energy. They can be visualized as seven bands of light encasing and emanating from the physical body. Each layer vibrates at a slightly different frequency and can be defined by its colour, density and appearance. Each has a specialized function and influences various emotional, mental and physical processes.

       Etheric body or lining – the first subtle body, which lies between the physical and other subtle bodies to sustain a dynamic equilibrium between them. An energetic replica of the physical body containing a blueprint of all the organs.

       Emotional body – the seat of the emotions. When the emotional body is in balance it brings emotional security and stability.

       Mental body – reflects mental activity and enables us to think clearly and rationally. It contains the structures of our thoughts and ideas.

       Astral body – encapsulates the entire personality. When it is in balance we are more likely to have an intuitive understanding of events and the flow of life.

       Causal body – the seat of willpower, it facilitates interaction with other people and events, allowing us to fulfil our personal destinies. The gateway to higher consciousness.

       Celestial or Soul body – houses our spiritual essence and is, in a sense, the higher self which allows the soul to move freely through us.

       Spiritual or Illuminated body – a fusion of the whole subtle anatomy with the physical body. Our basic energetic blueprint resides here.

       Etheric envelope – forms a protective outer coating around the subtle bodies.

       Immunofluidum – contains and transports qi.

      Like other energy systems, the subtle bodies can become congested with inappropriate energetic vibrations. In the mental body, congestion usually takes the form of half-formed, unclear thoughts which mount up like piles of rubbish and prevent clear thinking. Similarly, unexpressed desires and emotions cloud the emotional body. Lack of exercise and sunshine, or an excess of junk food can muddy the etheric body. Each body can also become over-stimulated and this can lead to a variety of health problems.

      Finally, a condition known as lack of coordination can occur between the mental and emotional bodies, between the emotional and etheric or more commonly between the etheric and the physical bodies. When the etheric body is not properly linked to the physical you are likely to experience chronic fatigue and in extreme cases frailty.

      THE MERIDIANS

      Traditional Chinese Medicine sees subtle energy (qi or chi) as taking the form of vibrational waves. The qi flows along a system of channels known as meridians. The first reference to this energy network is found in the Nei Ching or Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine which is around 4,500 years old.

      These channels form an intricate web through the body, like a second nervous system. It connects the physical body to the subtle energy bodies surrounding it.

      There are 12 pairs of meridians, and each pair is associated with a different organ system or function, such as the heart, lungs or liver. There are also a further eight energy channels known as the extraordinary meridians which hover in between the etheric and physical bodies. They act as an energy reservoir and are closely connected with our vitality and state of mind. Their prime function is to feed the main meridians with qi. Traditional Chinese Medicine maintains that good health and peace of mind are inextricably linked to the smooth and even flow of qi through the body.

      THE CHAKRAS

      Eastern medical and mystical traditions share the notion that special energy centres known as chakras play a vital role in moving energy around the body. There are seven major chakras which are inextricably linked to the meridian system.

      The chakras act as energy transformers, simultaneously receiving, assimilating and transmitting various types of energy. They can be imagined as many-petaled, vibrantly coloured flowers which are attached by invisible threads to the spine. The ‘petals’, known as nadis, are woven into the nervous system, which runs through the spine. They distribute the energy of each chakra into the physical body. The chakras are continuously opening to receive information about the state of the subtle bodies, and closing again, rather like anemones.
