There are many hypotheses about the structure of a person, his soul, aura, chakras. Many believe that a person, in addition to his body, has 6 more. These are subtle bodies. They cannot be seen. What is this matter? What are they needed for? How to develop subtle bodies? What gives their development? How they protect and protect a person, this article will tell.
If we consider Christianity, then it is assumed that people consist of a body, spirit and soul. In the East, esotericists speak of the presence of 7 "thin" bodies and more. These fields surround the physical shell, pierce it through. These forms create an aura. Energy bodies are located one after another, but, moving deeper, the connection between them is not lost. To know oneself, a person needs to make a lot of effort.
Conventionally, these thin shells are divided into several categories:
- physical (3);
- spiritual (3);
- astral (1).
It is believed that the astral is a link with the previous types. The physical ones are responsible for the energy in the physical plane, and the spiritual ones are about higher spiritual matters.
They are characterized by their frequency of vibration, the stronger - the farther from material essence. The shells have their purpose, color, density, are located in a certain place.
Physical body
The simplest in structure and function is considered to be our physical essence. But without it, it would be impossible to live on planet Earth and learn new things. The physical is also a subtle body, because it vibrates like the rest of the invisible shells. Complex processes take place in it, for example, the brain functions, thoughts mature, this cannot be explained and attributed to ordinary processes.
The second body is the etheric
Ether is an intermediate element between matter and energy, therefore the second subtle body of a person is called ethereal. It is assumed that it is located 1.5 cm from the material body and is an electromagnetic circuit. The etheric body is blue or grey. Ancient scientists believed that this shell transmits qi energy.
This is the next body after the physical. It is very closely related to the first body. The main thing for which the ethereal shell is responsible is the energy flowing inside us. The state of the etheric body determines the general state of a person's vitality, health.
Through the ethereal shell, a person interacts with the universe. It cannot be seen, the threads of connection are not visible. The second is a kind of bridge that connects the earthly essence with the invisible forces of the outside world. It is also a link with other subtle bodies.
From the point of view of science, the ethereal is a matrix in which energy moves through communication channels, just as a stream of electrons is transmitted through wires. This network is very complex, it contains all the data about the physical body, the work of all organs, the chemical composition of the blood.
The ethereal shell is a medical database of a person. In form, this shell is exactly the same as the physical body. All injuries, illnesses are displayed in it. If a person is physically healthy, then he receives the maximum energy of the universe, in the event that there are illnesses and ailments, the flow is blocked. And energy is limited.
As a rule, blocks are located in the human chakras or in the Nadi channels. Three channels of Nadia are known:
- Pingala (right channel);
- Ida (left channel);
- Sushumna (central channel).
They pass through all 7 chakras of a person. If the chakras and channels are clean, then the cosmic energy easily penetrates the ethereal shell and spreads throughout the body. As a result of this, a person is cheerful, full of energy, glows from the inside and spreads his positive vibes to those around him.
Chakras and their location
- 7 chakra (sahasrara) - in the region of the crown;
- 6-chakra (ajna) - on the forehead, between the eyebrows;
- 5 chakra (vishuddha) - throat area (thyroid gland);
- 4 chakra (anahata) - near the heart, along the central line;
- 3 chakra (manipura) - in the navel;
- 2 chakra (svadhisthana) - in the pubic area;
- 1 chakra (muladhara) - perineum area.
When a person is often in a bad mood, does not forgive insults, accumulates negative emotions, his etheric body does not absorb energy and is at the most impoverished level of its functionality. In the event that a person is not happy with what he is doing, is not engaged in his work, this also negatively affects the ethereal shell, and it begins to work incorrectly. For effective activity, careful work on oneself, one's inner self is needed.
Find in yourself grievances and problems that oppress, find out the origin and get rid of them. Ask the Universe and it will help you find the right path through the ethereal sheath. The main thing is to learn to understand its signals. The ethereal link is a reflection of a person’s life, you can’t stand still, become isolated in your problems and negative emotions. You need to fight with yourself, it is difficult, but it is quite possible. Be patient and learn to understand yourself, and the energy of prana through the channels of Nadi will not keep you waiting.
The third body is emotional (astral)
The third shell is considered a kind of exit to the astral plane. It is present in all people living on the planet. But it does not work for everyone, only people who have known themselves and learned to control their minds turn to their astral and interact with it. This essence was first discovered by the Indian sages. After a while, scientists proved that the astral and emotional are one and the same, like the shell of desires.
The astral sphere is located 10-100 cm relative to the first one. It organizes the energy exchange of a person with other people, desires, emotions. The astral body helps a person to realize his desires and aspirations. It is an aura and has color. This is a whole gamut from black - negative, to white - positive. The color of the aura changes depending on the psychological state of the person. Different parts of the body are highlighted in different shades.
In scientific laboratories there are special devices that can take a photo of a person's astral body and decipher it. Soft, warm pastel colors mean harmony and peace, bright - aggression, dark - depression, oppression. Depending on the mood, the colors of the shell change over a short period of time, an hour, a day.
The activity of the astral depends on the person, his aspirations, tasks. In the case when a specific goal is set, and a person is set to win, to achieve it, the astral shell opens up to 100 percent. She receives the maximum of cosmic energy, actively interacts with others, the same purposeful people, helps to choose the right direction.
When a person is inactive, he has no desires, no aspirations, the emotional body goes out, no additional energy gets into it. If a man's desires are negative character, aimed only at satisfying their own needs, without taking into account the opinions of others, harming others, this has a bad effect on the astral. Alcohol and drugs have a very bad effect on the emotional shell, as they harm the physical body of a person.
In order for the astral to function properly and receive maximum positive energy, it is important to do good, strive to be useful, and radiate positive emotions. After all, doing good to others, a person receives in response much more affirmative impulses. To activate people should meditate, learn to control their emotions, desires, needs. This will invigorate the spirit and energize for the whole day. Many have learned to properly interact with their third shell and are in perfect harmony with it. It will be useful for them to make astral travel during sleep. During sleep, a person sleeps, and his soul passes into the astral shell and visits other worlds.
Clairvoyants, prophets have long learned to address both their own astral and someone else's. This ability helps them to find the causes of pain, discomfort in other people. The path to this information passes through the astral shell. Shamans, gaining access to the astral plane of another person, only take the necessary information without causing damage. They also develop their ability to move through the layers of the universe thanks to the astral.
The fourth body is mental (intellectual)
It is located 10–20 cm from the previous one. And completely repeats the contour of the physical. Has a rich yellow originates from the head and spreads throughout the body. In moments of mental activity, the mental becomes wider and brighter. During the mental process, small bundles of energy are distinguished in the intellectual shell - thought forms, they show the thoughts, beliefs of a person.
If there is only a conclusion without emotions, then the energy of thought forms consists of an intellectual shell. In the case when the presence of emotions takes place, then the energy consists of both the mental and emotional bodies. The more clearly a person imagines his ideas and thoughts and is clearly convinced that he is right, the brighter the outline of his thought forms is. In case of death, the mental disappears after 3 months.
The mental, astral and ethereal are born together with the physical and disappear in the event of its death. Relate to the material world.
The fifth body is karmic (casual)
This is a complex structure that carries all the information about actions and transmits it into space. Everything that a person does can be justified. Even the absence of action is not without reason. Casual contains information about the possible movements of a person in the future. It is a multi-colored cloud of various lumps of energy. It is located 20-30 cm from the physical. Energy clots are not pronounced and do not have a clear outline compared to lumps in the emotional body. After the death of the material body, the karmic body does not die, it reincarnates along with other bodies.
To improve their karma, they comprehend the teachings of the Dharma and follow it. This is an individual goal for each person, which is comprehended in the process of life. If you exist according to the laws of Dharma, negative energy is destroyed, only positive energy enters. A person who violates the Dharma will be reborn in the next life in the body of another lower evolutionary organism in order to go through all the stages from scratch.
The sixth body is buddhic (intuitive)
This is a thin shell that collects complex higher unconscious processes. Scientists call it the defining etheric field. This is a complex structure along which the second body is organized. In the case when the connections in the ethereal shell are broken, the data for restoration are taken from the sixth. Intuitive has a dark blue color. It has the shape of an oval and is located at a distance of 50-60 cm from the material.
The buddhic body contains a gap within itself, which exactly repeats the etheric one. And it organizes the ego shape and size. Responsible for the birth of brilliant thoughts, insights. It is important to trust yourself, listen to your intuition and the Universe will tell you what to do. Chakra Ajna, or the third eye is a symbol. It does not disappear with the death of a person, but transfers the accumulated energy into space.
The seventh body is atmanic
The most complex human body. Little is known about him. But it is considered to be the thinnest shell. Atma is the state of the soul when it has been able to know itself. Atmanic transmits messages from the human soul to God and receives answers. With harmonious development, internal coherence and complete peace are achieved.
To gain access to the seventh link, one develops the first, material. Then the next, that is, to learn to master all the previous bodies. Atmanic has an oval shape and is located at a distance of 80-90 cm from the first. It is a golden egg in which all the bodies are collected. On the surface of the egg there is a film that does not allow the impact of bad energy.
Solar and Galactic bodies
Solar - is formed as a result of the appeal of the astral fields of a person to the astral solar system. This is the eighth link. It is studied by astrologers. Solar carries information about a person's birthday. How were the stars and planets arranged?
Galactic - consists of the work of the astral field of a person with the astral plane of the Galaxy. This is the ninth body.
All subtle fields are closely interconnected with each other. They have a strong influence on the formation of a person's destiny, his path. Thinking about the good, a person is charged with positive emotions, receives the energy of the Universe, which spreads through all layers, programming them for good luck and success. A person gets into the center of positive vibrations, gives joy, goodness, the world reciprocates him.
Let's start our acquaintance with the structure of the human energy body. But before that, let us accept the following as an axiom. The energy body is integral part person. Each person. Good and evil. Materialist and esoteric. Atheist and believer. Educated and ignorant. You may not believe in it, but it will not disappear from it. It has its own anatomy and features of functioning.
Consider the structure of the energy body, focusing on the use of this knowledge for practical purposes.
The energy body consists of the following units: the physical body and 6 "thin" bodies, energy centers, energy channels.
Thin bodies person. The human energy body has a layered structure, since all 7 bodies are like a nesting doll. Each new, higher layer of energy has a more subtle organization, its own characteristics and its own “site of responsibility”. Every body can be developed. Each of these bodies can be controlled. All seven bodies are connected to each other. They are all one and the connection between them is inseparable.
Physical body. This body is the carrier of all other, "subtle" bodies. There is no living person - there are no all other bodies. Subtle bodies are “strung” on the physical body. It is on this body - on a person who lives, thinks, feels, creates - that everything that all higher energy fields carry in themselves is manifested. The physical body is the summing up result of the activity of all subtle bodies. A person is healthy or sick, smart or stupid, happy or unhappy, cruel or kind - all this is a consequence and result of the organization of subtle bodies.
ethereal body. This is a thin layer of energy, 1-5 cm thick from the surface of the skin, in special cases - up to 10-15 cm, which a person radiates as a biological object. This layer was fixed by the Kirlian spouses, named as the “Kirlian effect”. The radiation and vibrations of the cells, organs and tissues of the body create their own field. This field is felt as a fairly elastic layer, which can be felt and distinguished by almost everyone. The layer of the etheric body is defined and "felt" in the form of light warm vibrations near the surface of the body. In places of accumulation of the energy of the disease - like cold depressions and bumps in the even surface of the layer.
This body is inhabited by the energy of disease, alien pathogenic energy, which harms health. Contact work with a patient involves finding similar foci and concentrating the energy of a specialist healer in the area of these foci.
Seeing him is also easy enough, with basic astral vision skills. This is very similar to the visible vibrations of the air around hot objects on a hot day. The etheric body dissolves on the 9th day after the death of a person.
astral body. It's "aura". The next layer that follows the etheric body. In size, it can protrude beyond the surface of the body by several tens of centimeters, in special cases - more than a meter. Here lives a plexus of different types of energy. It is this layer that is involved in the energy exchange between people and environment. The layer is heterogeneous in color and depends on the level of health, emotional state, tone, and the presence of other people's energies. We have also learned to photograph the aura.
In this layer, such energy-informational entities as spoilage, evil eye, love spell “live”. Settled entities are “planted” here. This layer needs to be pierced by the energy vampire in order to establish a connection with the victim. Energy and psychoenergetic blocks live in the astral body. This is where the chakras come into play. When working with negative impacts, experts are working with the astral body, groping and "pulling out" alien energy.
At the level of the astral body, work is underway with the human phantom. The astral body is in contact with the energy-informational entities of the astral world - spirits. Yogis after a long workout can show the focus of presence in two places at the same time. This they achieve by isolating their astral counterpart and colossally densifying their astral field. As a result, the phantom becomes dense and visible to ordinary vision. The astral body dissolves (dies) on the 40th day after the death of a person.
mental body. Part of the general information field of the Earth and the Universe. The mental body can go beyond physical body for several meters. Thoughts, accumulated baggage of knowledge and memories live here. The programs of zombies and manipulation of consciousness also live here.
How often I noticed that a person's character, behavior, type of thinking changed under the influence of destructive programs, especially love spells. After that, I concluded, and I am not the only one who thinks so, that the thought process is carried out not in confined space cranium, but somewhere outside. in the mental body. And that this body can be influenced - "clean" or "dirt" it, inspire your thoughts and programs.
There is an ironic question: "Which place do you think?". Mental place...
A thought is born in a person, it is born precisely by the mental body. Or inspired through the mental body. You can “feel” the aura, but thoughts… You can feel them, you can even see them, but for this you should try very, very hard. Thoughts in potential are thought forms that are filled with energy, begin to build their energy-information matrix, and come to life. Remember the expression "What I was afraid of happened." The energy of emotion, in this case fear, brought the thought-form to life. This body is the realm of logic, thoughts and reflections.
The mental body also dissolves (dies) on the 40th day after the death of a person.
Karmic body or "body of fate". It hardly has clearly fixed and measurable contours. It bears the name “the body of fate”, because it is in this body, which is difficult to feel and observe, that a person carries through time and rebirth what is written in the family. This is exactly where it is written.
In this body, information about ourselves accumulates over the course of a lifetime in order to create our new “I” in the next life based on our past life, past "I".
The Buddha said, "Everything we are is created by our thoughts." Our destiny is created by our actions, thoughts, emotions and is embodied in a new round of life after death and rebirth. The karmic body and bodies of higher levels are inherited from us from past lives. It is already with us from birth.
After our death, Someone sums up our life, and decides how we should live on. This is the program of our life, which is carried by the karmic body. And everything that will manifest itself later as a cause will be “recorded” in this body. This body gives impulses to the lower subtle bodies of a person, controlling them, and a person lives according to his destiny. Or learns to interact with his "body of destiny" and changes the course of his life.
live here birth curses, the causes of karmic diseases. Here there are distortions of fate and violations of the normal course of events, which are the result of damage.
In order to enter the karmic body of a person, save him and his family from the curse, eliminate karmic diseases, influence his fate, you yourself need to have access to the higher fields of the Universe, to the space where the consciousness of a person originates, his soul and karma.
When working with events, you need to work not with the person himself, but with the field of events, with the karmic body. A person can be just a pawn played by forces that are stronger than the will of the person himself. It is worth referring to the very source of causes - to the karmic body.
Intuitive body or "buddhic body". Remember what I said about how the mental body is the realm of logic, thoughts and reflections? But the intuitive body is the realm of the extraconscious, the intuitive. It is a body of insights, sudden ideas, discoveries. It is here that the concepts of Good and Evil live. It is this body that forms our value system, our unconscious self. Here the transfer of the Divine Self to the level of the human Self is carried out. Chakra Sahaasrara is the transition in the energy body from the level of human energies to the level of Divine energies.
Intuitive body... The so-called insights occur when a person enters into resonance with the information field of the Universe and gets access to information directly, without reflection, distortion, hesitation. The American "sleeping" seer Edgar Cayce called this field of the Universe the "Akasha Chronicles". Casey himself gained access to information about people and about the future in a dream, turning off the distorting field of his consciousness, leaving a kind of "bridge" to the universal information base.
The intuitive body hides the phenomenon of prophecy, divination and clairvoyance. It is into this body that a person enters in altered states of consciousness. Here there is a contact with egregores. Religious ecstasy and meditative trance is a manifestation of a person's immersion in this body and higher bodies.
Atmic body. highest body in the overall structure of energy bodies. A part of a person, like a drop dissolved in the ocean of a single World Soul, God, the Absolute. It is part of God in man, and part of man in God. The level of the soul is the level of the atmic body. Nirvana, which many rave about and dream of, is the state of complete merging of one's soul with the infinite and unknowable absolute. At this level, the very essence of man, the idea of man, his soul is born.
Understanding this, one can find the answer to the question “Is the soul mortal?”. The soul is immortal while the Absolute is immortal. That is, the soul of a single person was, is and always will be immortal. The applied side of work with the atmic body consists in prayer practice. IN Orthodox tradition Pray for the soul, not just for the person. And it is right. All other bodies can be reached more easily. You can work with the soul only by turning to God.
The human soul is a multidimensional structure manifested at 7 levels of reality, different in density and frequency. Each level of reality corresponds to one of the 7 human energy bodies.
The whole universe is arranged like this structure. And even in a long mystical tradition, the central element in the construction of the Universe was the cosmic soul, which existed forever in the world of ideas and primordial images.
1. Physical body
It is a tool of knowledge and action. With the help of this body we acquire the experience of earthly existence. in the occult and religious teachings it is believed that the disintegration of the physical body begins on the 3rd day after the actual departure of a person from life. More precisely, on the 3rd day, all connections of subtle bodies with the physical shell collapse.
“When an offering takes place in the Church on the third day, the soul of the deceased receives relief from the angel guarding it in sorrow, which it feels from separation from the body.”
Revelation of Macarius of Alexandria
2. Etheric body
A thin energy-information structure that displays the state of all other bodies. For people with developed thin channels, the ether is visible as a white haze around the physical body of a person. After physical death, the ethereal body lives for another 9 days in relation to the Earth, after which it dissipates. Further, the human soul leaves our reality.
3. Emotional body
It is a feeling tool. Desires arise in this body and, as a result of the processing of these desires by the higher "I" - emotions. On this plane are shown. Energetically, the astral body manifests itself in the form of an aura and can have various colors and shades depending on the nature of the energy centers. Presumably, this body lives from 40 days to 1 year after physical death, after which the ordered information of this structure passes into the mental plane.
4. Mental body
In other words, the human intellect or the experience of the current incarnation. At the level of the mental body, the thought process takes place. The positive experience of this plan after the end of earthly existence moves in a structured way to the level of the causal body.
5. Casual body
The causal body is the body of cause and effect. It is also called karmic. It is the intellect or consciousness of the soul. This body absorbs the ordered information of all incarnations, in other words, wisdom.
If a person lived an empty life and did not fulfill the tasks assigned to him, or if his actions contradicted the laws of the Universe, which also indicates a lack of some understanding of the universe, these unresolved tasks are transferred to the next incarnation.
6. Buddhic body.
Memory of the soul or spiritual mind. It carries the experience of all incarnations of the soul. Here is what we call Conscience. Not morality, but Conscience. Here our system of spiritual values and priorities is formed.
7. Monadic body.
The Monad is a hologram of the Creator, the essence of the soul. Atma is God in man.
The causal, buddhic and atmic bodies form the immortal part of the human soul. As a rule, direct access to our consciousness to these bodies is closed and it is opened only to those who have reached the level of ethics and practice necessary for this. So, some people remember their past lives, establish a connection with the “Universal Mind” and read information from the depths of outer space.
Thin bodies
It is believed that a person, in addition to the usual, physical body, has several more invisible (under normal conditions) bodies. There are many such theories. Even in the classical Christian interpretation, a person consists of a body, spirit and soul. In Eastern esoteric schools with various variations the existence of seven or more "subtle" human bodies is affirmed. This implies that all these bodies, or fields, permeate the physical, material body - as in the example above, water soaks a piece of sugar, and so on..
The most important point is that in addition to the physical there are also subtle bodies. There is no consensus on the number of these bodies, or shells, yet, and the terminology is rather arbitrary. Therefore, we will give here their description according to B. Brennan, which is most fully consistent with almost any system of esoteric knowledge, on the one hand, and is confirmed by separate scientific data, on the other.
All subtle bodies are located both inside and around our physical body. They penetrate it like water soaks a sponge.
1 - ethereal body. It is located in four-dimensional space, completely repeats the physical body and goes beyond its contours by 2-3 cm. This is the body of life and health, the physical body depends on its state. With a clear manifestation of aggressiveness, fears, the development of animal instincts, the body is deformed, and with it the work of the first chakra is disrupted. It is a repository of information accumulated in this life.
2 - astral body . Located in a five-dimensional space, repeats the contour of the physical and goes beyond its limits by 5-10 cm. The body of feelings, desires, emotions and passions. His condition is directly dependent on the desires of man. With an overabundance negative emotions the body is deformed, which disrupts the work of the second chakra. It is a repository of information accumulated in this life.
3 - mental body . It is located in six-dimensional space. In general, it follows the contours of a person. It goes beyond the limits of the physical body by 10-20 cm. This is the body of thought and will. With an overabundance of negative thoughts, the body is deformed, the work of the third chakra is disrupted. It is a repository of information accumulated in this life.
4 - karmic or causal body . It is located in seven-dimensional space. body of cause and effect. It collects information for further incarnations. It goes beyond the limits of the physical body by 20-30 cm. This body controls our thoughts, desires and actions.
5 - the body of the monad, individuality . It is located in eight-dimensional space. It has an oval shape and goes beyond the limits of the physical body by 50-60 cm. Inside this oval there is a void that completely coincides with our ethereal body. That is, the ethereal (first) body fills this void, and thus its shape and dimensions are determined.
6 - the body of the Absolute, God or, atmic body . It is the thinnest and purest body. Has an oval shape. Located in nine-dimensional space. It goes to a distance of 80-100 cm beyond the limits of the physical body. In people with high energy, it can be even more. Outwardly, it looks like a golden egg, containing all the previous human bodies. The outer surface of the egg has a protective film 1-2 centimeters thick. This film is strong, elastic and prevents the penetration of external influences on a person. This body provides a person with a connection with the Creator, with the Higher Forces.
FINE HUMAN ANATOMY
IN classical understanding essence of the aura today, the following main points can be distinguished. It is generally accepted that the main condition for successful mental activity of a person is a healthy and well-developed aura. She renders positive influence on the personal qualities of a person and their development, but, on the other hand, the stronger a person becomes spiritually, the more his aura becomes stronger. In addition, it is she who is the most effective barrier to any harmful external influences. Thus, a sufficiently powerful aura is capable of in itself, to a certain extent, influencing the course of events. At the same time, in real life the power of a powerful and developed spiritual aura can extend far beyond the physical presence of the person who possesses it.
However, to complete the picture, it is necessary to add to the above the concept of the energy structure of the human body, which is generally accepted in esoteric knowledge systems.
As a matter of fact, today there is no doubt that a person has not only a physical body accessible to our direct perception, but also several more “thin” bodies - this is recognized even by the “academic” bodies, their structure, functions, etc. but these are already questions of terminology or author's interpretations.
Nevertheless, the main conclusion that can be drawn from this model of human structure is clear. If we really consist not only of various substances (matter, ether, etc.), but also of various subtle bodies, each of which can be considered as part of a separate world (physical, astral, etc.), then a person represents is, in fact, the most complex system of interpenetrating worlds.
FIELD INTERACTIONS.
Using figurative thinking, we can imagine a relatively visual model of such a system. For clarification, you can take a regular piece of sugar. This is a crystalline structure. Sugar is impregnated with liquid (it is interesting to note that, according to modern concepts, individual liquids can be considered as liquid crystals). Any liquid can be saturated with gas. Further, both liquid and gas can be ionized using radiation. This gives another level of interpenetration. As a result, we have four interpenetrating environments simultaneously and in one subject. To an outside observer, they exist in each other; in this case, areas of inhomogeneity may appear. It depends on the degree of saturation and penetration, as well as on the unevenness of the structures in terms of density and energy concentration.
As already mentioned, it is practically generally accepted that the totality of intangible, subtle, energy - they are also called differently, but the essence is the same - human bodies and together form his aura. And to date, a special photography technique has been developed that allows you to see the human aura. Note, however, that in such images a single structure is fixed, that is, all bodies or shells are fixed as something integral.
This is consistent with the biofield theory, which tries to explain everything from the standpoint of classical physics. For biology as a science of living matter, the concept of a biological field is as fundamental as the concept of a gravitational field for physics. Today there is a theory of the biofield, which, trying to explore the features of the energy structure and the corresponding structures of a person, considers all the actual material as lying either in the sphere of bodily sensations, or as manifestations of fluctuations in the general psychophysiological tone of the body, in contrast to the views of esoteric science. Supporters of this theory, as a rule, in every possible way avoid appealing to various kinds of "otherworldly" forces and entities, but strive to explain everything by objective biophysical processes; this system, unlike the esoteric one, does not oppose itself to the usual picture of the world, but tries to organically link itself with it. Performing in relation to biological objects, in fact, the same function that a hypothetical gravitational field performs in relation to physical objects, the biological field seems to be something no less real.
THIN FIELDS
We are talking about the subtle bodies of a person, or his energy shells. First of all, it should be noted that the human energy fields are heterogeneous and highly variable. The roughest fields can be felt by almost anyone, and even without any training. These energy media have their own channels in the physical body. They practically correspond to those "meridians" that are used in traditional oriental reflexology. The needles are inserted into separate points along the meridians. These channels flow on the verge of contact between muscles, ligaments and bones, in many places deepening significantly into the body.
It is more difficult to feel (let alone see) fields that are much more subtle. Nevertheless, we have many descriptions compiled by psychics - people who, due to their special susceptibility, have access to a special, "energy" vision. Below is one such description.
Energies form more or less even concentric spheres around the physical body. In a healthy person, normally, energy originates in the region of the crown, spilling like a solid fountain in all directions; then, in the perineal region, the current is reversed for a new rise to the source. A person, just as the heart sets the blood flow in motion, carries out the movement of planes and volumes of energy around his body. The reverse and cyclic movement of energies occurs, apparently, because their structures are comparable with the structures of the earth's gravity. The energies of the most spiritually developed representatives of humanity have the ability to “emerge” in the rough, heavier energy layers of the physical plane and therefore can change the direction of movement at will, depending on the will of their owner. Being in such a spiritual field. a person feels lightness and freedom. By the state of the fields, one can judge the state of a person or his environment. So, for example, in a perfectly healthy person, the field has evenly marked surfaces with deep and juicy coloring. Any thought colors these spheres in a somewhat new way.
With a systematic leakage of energy, the fields acquire a pear-shaped shape, with the wide side facing down. Due to the fact that the fields themselves, as one of the components of a person, are very heterogeneous, their energy diversity is ordered by the structure of subtle bodies.
Your aura is the path to spiritual perfection.
All human bodies from the physical to the body of the Absolute are interconnected and influence each other. Human health and destiny are also interconnected and depend on the state of subtle bodies. For example, thoughts about good things give rise to positive energy in a person at the level of the mental body, which causes similar vibrations at the level of emotions and desires (astral body). Further, this positive energy fills the physical body, and the person begins to feel a surge of strength, energy, joy and happiness. Consequently, he has no health problems, in terms of fate he feels like a “creator” and is firmly moving towards the intended and intended goal. This example clearly shows how a person, consciously improving thoughts, emotions and desires, improves his life in general. Being in a positive stream of vibration, a person becomes inaccessible to negative energies, fewer black stripes remain in his life. Such a person attracts to himself and radiates into the world around him only positive energy. And the world responds to such a person in the same way - a person's health improves, he finds a better-paid job, relations with relatives and friends are harmonized, the family becomes stronger and happier.
etheric body
The first subtle body is the etheric or energy body of a person. This body is a copy of the physical body. It exactly repeats its silhouette, going beyond its limits by 3-5 cm. The etheric body has the same structure as the physical body, including its organs. It consists of a special kind of matter called aether. The ether occupies an intermediate position between the dense matter of which our world consists, and even more subtle than ethereal types of matter. The bodies of many entities are composed of ether, the mention of which we meet in mystical literature. Any person, if desired, can see a bluish haze of the etheric body around his fingers, if he looks at them with a dispersed gaze on a white background. In addition, the well-known Kirlian effect makes it possible to photograph the etheric body. The color of the etheric body, as psychics describe it, changes from light blue to gray. In a sensitive person, it has a bluish tint; in an athletic, physically strong person, gray tones predominate in the etheric body. The etheric body forms the so-called "energy matrix" of the human body, which corresponds to the organs of the physical body. Distortions that occur in the human energy body lead first to disorder, and then to the rebirth of the organs of the physical body (their diseases). Most psychics feel with their hands the distortions of just the energy body, and make corrections to it. In the case of correct influence, after the correction of the energy body, the healing of the physical organ occurs. In the same body, there are various energy flows, including energy meridians, which are affected by acupuncture and acupressure. Since the etheric body completely repeats the physical, it is sometimes called the etheric double of a person. After the death of a person, the etheric body dies on the 9th day.
astral body
Otherwise, the body of emotions. It already consists of a finer matter than the ethereal. This body extends 5-10 cm beyond the limits of the physical body and does not have such a clearly defined form as the ethereal one. It is a continuously iridescent colored blobs of energy. In an unemotional person, this body is quite uniform and discharged. In a very emotional person, these multi-colored clots are thicker and denser - flashes of negative emotions appear as clots of energies of “heavy”, dark colors: crimson, red, brown, gray, black, etc. If a person is emotional, but easy-going, then clots of negative energies in the emotional body are relatively quickly absorbed. In the presence of lingering negative emotions (resentment, aggressiveness, etc.), clots of negative emotional energy arise, which can remain practically unchanged for a very long time. Such formations can adversely affect human health. By the colors of the astral body, you can determine which emotions are more inherent this person. Astral energies create a whole so-called "astral plane", where many entities live, of which the most important are egregors (they can arise from subtle energies not only of the astral, but also of the next, mental plane). In addition, all entities created by people in dreams live on the astral plane. The more vivid the dream, the longer its objects can persist on the astral plane. The astral plane has several levels (or floors), and we can safely say that the lower floors of the astral plane are the lower floors of the Subtle World. The entire astral plane occupies 6 floors in the Subtle World. A person has the opportunity to consciously get into this plane in the astral body and observe what is happening there. After the death of a person, his astral body dies on the 40th day. Other, more subtle bodies can remain on the astral plane much longer when this is due to karmic interactions.
mental body
The third human body is called the mental body. It is the body of man's thoughts and knowledge. It is very developed among scientists, researchers and people in general, whose life is determined mainly by mental work, and much less so among people who are mostly engaged in physical labor. The mental body goes beyond the physical by 10-20 cm and generally repeats its contours. It consists of even more subtle energy of the mental plane, which occupies the 7th-8th floors of the Subtle World. The mental body has a bright yellow color emanating from the head of a person and extending to his entire body. When a person thinks intensely, the mental body expands and becomes brighter. In the mental body, one can discern clumps of energies that reflect our beliefs and stable thoughts - they are called thought forms.
Thought forms can only consist of the energy of the mental body if our beliefs are not accompanied by emotions. And if beliefs are connected with emotions, then the thought-form is formed by the energies of the mental and emotional planes. The more stable the thoughts and beliefs of a person, the more clearly outlined are the thought forms of his mental body. After the death of a person, his mental body dies on the 90th day.
The next section is devoted to a more detailed description of thought forms.
The three subtle bodies discussed above belong to our material world, are born and die together with a person. The next, fourth body already belongs to its immortal component and goes through an endless series of reincarnations in the process of reincarnations.
Karmic body
Otherwise, it is called the causal body of a person. This is the body of the soul, which contains the causes of all human actions and information about his future possible actions. The karmic body looks like a cloud of multi-colored clots of subtle energy, which protrudes 20-30 cm beyond the physical body of a person. These clumps are much more diffuse than those seen on the emotional body, and lighter tones predominate in their coloration. After the death of a person, his karmic body does not die, but. is included in the endless process of further reincarnations along with other, even more subtle bodies.
Intuitive Body
The fifth human body has different names by different authors, but they are all similar in defining its main characteristics: it is a subtle energy body that concentrates higher unconscious processes. According to the terminology of B. Brennan, it should be called the determining etheric body. This is the matrix on which the first (etheric) body is built. In those cases when any failure occurs at the level of the first etheric body, it is restored according to the pattern that is laid down in the fifth body of a person. It looks like a dark blue oval, extending 50-60 cm beyond the limits of the physical body. Within the intuitive body there is a gap which coincides exactly with the first etheric body which fills it. This is what determines both its shape and size. However, the fifth body is capable of not only restoring, but also distorting the etheric body, if certain prerequisites for this arise.
Heavenly body
The next, the sixth body, was called the celestial body. It extends 60-80 cm beyond our physical body. Clairvoyants see it as multi-colored rays of flame emanating from the physical body of a person. It is at the level of this body that a person is able to experience the highest feelings - spiritual ecstasy experienced in the process of prayer or meditation.
Keter body
The seventh body of a person is the highest, its name comes from the Kabbalistic term "Keter" - the crown. It goes 80-100 cm beyond the limits of the physical body. For people with high energy, this distance can be even greater. The keter body looks like a golden egg, in which all other human bodies are enclosed. The outer surface of this "egg" has a protective film 1-2 cm thick. This film is elastic, but strong, and prevents the penetration of negative external influences. Inside the golden egg, people endowed with the gift of clairvoyance can observe the main energy flow connecting its poles and passing through the human spine. Colored hoops of light are sometimes visible on the surface of the keteric body - they correspond to bright events in a person's previous life. This body provides a connection with the Higher Mind, receives from it necessary for a person information and send back the required information.
A Brief Note on the Cosmic Plan
Above the seventh layer of the aura, i.e., the keteric body, sometimes the eighth and ninth are also distinguished. Each of them, respectively, is associated with the eighth and ninth chakras, located above the head and not mentioned in all sources. Supporters of this concept believe that these layers, or, as they are also called, levels, are characterized by very subtle vibrations and, corresponding to general rule alternation of substance and form, have a crystalline structure. The eighth level consists predominantly of liquid substance, and the ninth is a crystalline structure - a template for all forms below it. Very little information about these layers can be found in the literature, but it would be wrong not to mention them at all.

We all have 7 bodies. Let's briefly review (or relearn) about each.
Many of us believe that the physical body is the whole person, but this is not so. BODY PHYSICAL- this is just a space suit of a true person, which consists of subtle bodies. Our eyes are designed to see only dense material objects. But if we begin to develop spiritually, then more perfect parts of the brain and the vision of subtle objects will open. And in our world there are people who see the subtle plans of the surrounding life.
ethereal body is the matrix of the physical body, but in a subtle, spiritual-material form. If the organs of the etheric body are healthy, then they are automatically healthy in the dense body as well. And the etheric body will be healthy when the mental and astral bodies create healthy and clean organs in it through pure thoughts and good desires.
To the "seeing" the etheric body appears greyish-violet; short pale bluish rays emanate from it in all directions, the so-called AURA of health. If these rays are perpendicular to the surface of the body, the person is healthy; in the sick, they fall down and are confused, especially in that area of \u200b\u200bthe body that is sick. It is these short rays, which are a manifestation of vitality, that repel illness from a person.
Some sources put the Etheric body in the explanations after the Mental one - the fourth one - explaining this by the fact that in terms of vibrations that exist in a modern person with his expanded consciousness, it surpasses both previous ones.
astral body- the body of our emotions, feelings and desires. And only when our feelings and desires are completely controlled by our highly spiritual bodies, then the need for an astral body will disappear.
The astral body is developed person is a cloudy, vaguely defined mass of astral matter of the lowest type, which is capable of responding to animal desires. Its color is dull - brown, muddy red and dirty green tones. Various passions appear in them as heavy waves; so, sexual passion causes a wave of cloudy carmine color. And a rush of anger - a red lightning with a bluish tinge.
The astral body of a moderately developed person is larger in size and has a luminous appearance. And the manifestation of higher emotions evokes in him a wonderful play of colors. Its outlines are clear, it takes on a resemblance to its owner. And the "wheels" of the chakras in it are already clearly visible, although they do not rotate.
The astral body of a spiritually developed person, on the other hand, consists of the finest particles of astral matter and is a beautiful sight in terms of radiance and color. Unprecedented shades appear in it under the influence of pure and noble thoughts. The rotation of the "wheels" indicates the activity of the higher centers; the absence of gross particles makes him unable to respond to the vibrations of low desires, and they rush past without being attracted or touching him.
Thinking or MENTAL BODY given to us in order to think about everything for living in eternity. The mental body has a higher vibration than the astral body, and when it is fully turned on, the astral body does not participate in the joint work. The mental body is an expression of the Personality, but the Synthesis of incarnation is preserved in the higher, immortal nature of man.
It develops by clearing thoughts and expanding consciousness.
In a highly developed person, it is a beautiful sight of rapidly pulsating delicate and bright shades of light.
People engaged in mental and mental activity rarely plunge into that atmosphere of feelings and desires that are so important for a person engaged in physical labor.
The immortal Triad of the human soul has the names Manas - Atma - Buddhi - (otherwise activity - will - wisdom).
CAUSAL BODY(manas) stores the memory of all our lives that we once lived in the universe. We were from different worlds were men and women, rich and poor, kings and beggars...
All of us had our memory erased for a while so as not to cause harm in our current existence. All people who have contact with us have had it in previous lives, and the memory of previous relationships can only hurt.
ATMIC BODY stores all the information about our present life - from the day of birth to the present day. It does not disappear with the death of the physical body, but is present with us until we learn and understand all the lessons destined for us.
BODY OF BUDDHI is the most important. It summarizes the entire experience of our soul, which has accumulated over the entire history of our existence in eternity.
Only in the sphere of the Spirit (Atma-Buddhi) there is complete Unity, which says that we are all one in origin, one in the way of our evolution and one in the common goal of our being. The only difference between us is that some started their journey earlier and others later. Some went faster, others slower.
The recognition of the universal Brotherhood and the desire to realize it in earthly life is the strongest impetus for the development of the Higher nature of man.
