Human beings are not just the physical body. You have seven auric bodies. These seven unseen bodies are known as energy bodies, energy layers or auras. The seven non physical bodies aren't separate from the physical body, they are all interconnected with each other. The health of any of these bodies contributes toward the overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a person.
These energy bodies are affected by all aspects of your lifestyle. The energy that feeds them comes from outside and inside. Everything in your life influences these bodies. The health of these energy bodies depends on the amount and quality of prana or chi flowing through them which is generated in the Kundalini Line and Chakras.
When any one of the auric bodies is not working properly, it affects the other bodies and the physical body, as each body relies on the others to gather and distribute energy.
1 - etheric body
The etheric body is made up of vibrating energy. It underlies the physical. This body operates as the life force battery of the body. It is the closest for the physical body and is typically the first auric body that people are able to see. It extends about 5cm from the physical body and connects inwards to the base chakra as well as to the organs of the body. It is the life force energy that surrounds all living things. The etheric body stays with the physical body until it dies. It is attached to the organs, glands, nervous system and the chakra system. When viewed, the etheric body is most often a bluish-white. The aura will be clear when the person is at their optimal health. When it becomes cloudy, dull and gray, it indicates that the person is in poor health, depressed or is abusing drugs or alcohol.
This auric body expands about 10cm outward from the etheric layer, the emotional auric body connects to the sacral chakra. This layer of the aura changes most often in colour, as it is affected directly by your emotional state. When people see colours in the aura, the emotional body is what they are viewing. This body is especially easy to view when the person is in a highly emotional state. Generally, the brighter and clearer the colours are in this layer, the more balanced and healthy the person is emotionally. Muddy colours typically indicate emotional stress and trauma. The emotional layer should appear clear and bright, which means that the emotions are being filtered in and out into the other bodies. When this layer appears thick and dense, it indicates that there have been prolonged periods of emotional distress.
The size of the mental body varies greatly from 5 cm to 30 cm. The average size ranges from 10 to 20 cm. The mental body connects to the solar plexus chakra. Healers have stated that there is a brain located in the solar plexus. Researchers believe that this "second brain" saves information about physical reactions to mental processes and sends out signals when making decisions later, including affecting the emotions of happiness and sadness just like the phrase that we use when we say it was a gut reaction. The mental body is where your thoughts and ideas originate. The thoughts are then filtered from the higher mind through the mental body and delivered into the solar plexus chakra to be processed. At this point the information travels upward to the brain to process and communicate the thought outwardly through speech or action.
The mental body is where you do your everyday thinking. It is the mind that you use to reason, to form mental arguments, to create thought forms and to memorise things. The mental body forms part of your personality. If you are always thinking negative thoughts then eventually those thoughts can permeate through into the physical body. Therefore changing your negative thought patterns can often change your health for the better.
The astral body is primarily a connective bridge that carries energy from the higher planes of existence and delivers it into the lower three bodies, mental, emotional and etheric. Its primary function is to connect with the heart chakra and deliver the pure energetic and vibrational energy of love from the spiritual planes into the heart chakra. The astral body extends 30 cm from the physical body and when fully functioning, can expand much further. In babies and children this connection is wide open, this is one reason that children are so capable of unconditional love. Young children are innocents who are fully connected with their higher selves with little barrier between the bodies. As you age you begin to close that connection as a protective measure. By the time you become an adult the physical, emotional and mental layers are fully formed. It then requires a conscious effort to open these bodies back up to their full potential in order to cross the astral bridge and connect again with the heart chakra. When unconditional love is firmly anchored in the heart chakra, you won't be judgemental or suffer severe emotional impacts.
This body contains a full imprint of the physical body. It is extremely valuable to be able to view the etheric template body, as it indicates physical disease and illness in the physical body. A person who can read this body can work as a medical intuitive and provide information on where disease is manifesting in the body, which is beneficial to both the person and the doctors who are treating them. If caught in time by a medical intuitive, the disease can be seen before it enters the physical body. Action can then be taken to head off the illness. The etheric template contains the pattern that was dictated for how your physical body was intended to be formed in this lifetime, including your genetic code, hair colour, skin colour and texture, eye colour, height and so on. It is a much larger field than the etheric layer of the body, averaging 60 cm in size. The etheric template is a carbon copy of the physical body. It indicates the current state and health of the body while also retaining the image of how the body should look when it is perfect health. You can use the the power of meditation and manifestation to connect with this layer and bring energy down into the body, in order to restore it physically. This body is connected with the throat chakra and with your power of speech. This gives you the ability to manifest. With words we manifest and create. What you speak you become. Each person has the power on an individual level to change their energy and their world by carefully and deliberately choosing their words.
This body expands, on average, 90 to 120 cm from the other layers. The celestial body is very light and ethereal and its tasks are focused on the spiritual realms. It is connected to the third eye chakra. This is the realm where you are able to connect intimately with the Other Side for communication. When the third eye is in balance and open, you can "see" through this realm, which is much more expansive than what you see with your physical eyes. The colours are ethereal and have many more hues than the physical eyes can see. You will be able to see symbols and images in this layer, as well as guides and other beings. The entire workings of the person can be viewed in the celestial body, including explosions of emotional outbursts with the colours flaring, mental thoughts being processed, and physical disorders and energy manifesting. When working with this layer use meditation and other spiritual practices.
7 - ketheric body
The ketheric body extends another 90 to 120 cm around the physical body. This layer connects to the crown chakra and when fully balanced, open and operational, the energy emitted creates a gold and silver light. The golden light reflects during the solar time of day while the silver reflects the lunar time of the night. Ancients have depicted this aura and it indications of spiritual mastery by drawing or painting a golden halo around the head. This auric body is connected to the spiritual planes the we return to once we leave this earthly plane.
WEALTH AFFIRMATIONS I have adequate money and don't ask for more to enrich myself. I use it in ways that will generously assist my brethren on earth. I will give rather than lend to those who are unable to pay me back in a financial sense. I shall prudently accumulate riches. I am thankful for having more than I need and the chance to share it with others.
