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.
The subtle anatomy of mankind
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.
There are seven chakras which govern major glands in the endocrine system and influence physical and psychological health. Each chakra has its own ‘pulse rate’ and can alter its vibration so its energy can be used for different purposes. Some vibrate very quickly, others more slowly, depending largely on the ways in which we use and regard our bodies. Each chakra also has its own note (see here).
If one chakra is not functioning properly it affects those above and below it. Ideally the top chakras should vibrate faster and more subtly than the lower ones, but this is not always the case and heavy vibrations can appear in all the centres.
CHAKRAS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
HOW THE ENERGY SYSTEMS INTERACT
The energy systems described above are all interlinked (see illustration here). There is a constant interplay between them, so they effectively function as an energetic whole. They can be visualized as translucent layers held in place with thin membranes which separate yet allow the energies to diffuse into one another.
All seven subtle bodies enter and leave the body through chakras, which tie in with the meridian system. The meridians pass through the organs of the body. The extraordinary meridians link up with the subtle bodies and the aura, interfacing with the whole subtle anatomy system.
The entire energy system is in a continuous state of motion – the different energies are like swirling mists of colour and light interacting and receiving information from each other. They are constantly inter-changing, redistributing and rebalancing themselves.
DISTURBING THE ENERGY BALANCE
In a perfect world we would all have abundant energy and our energy systems would function smoothly. This state of energetic harmony and balance is associated with health, vitality, emotional stability, mental clarity, contentment, fulfilment and a sense of being on the right path in life. The energy systems usually function smoothly in newborn babies, but as we proceed on our journey through life the systems are thrown off balance for numerous reasons.
