The Human Energy System

The Human Energy System

One way that we could get an overview of this is to see creation as being rather like an electricity generating system.  To be usable the output from a power station must be gradually stepped down through sub stations and transformers until it reaches our electricity meters where it is refined further into a power that is safe for us to use. In the same way the creative energy of Source is gradually stepped down in lower and lower vibrating layers of interconnected energy until it is vibrating slowly enough to form physical matter.  

How the Human Energy System Works
The Aura, Subtle Bodies & Chakras

Seen from an energetic perspective all life forms, including human beings, are made up of layers of vibrating energy, each with their own specific vibration and purpose. The physical body consists of energy that vibrates very slowly, which is why it appears to our physical eyes to be solid. Through lack of greater vision or information we have tended to focus exclusively on the physical aspect of ourselves without recognising that it is actually created from and sustained by the energetic layers that are outside of our normal vision. These energetic layers or subtle bodies create an interconnected field of energy around the physical body that is commonly known as the auric field. Each subtle body connects into the physical body via an energy point or chakra, which directs the energy into the organs and glands of the physical body via the meridian system.

The picture below provides a visual image of the subtle bodies, energy points and chakra points as they relate to the physical body.The Aura & Subtle Bodies

• Etheric Body
• Emotional Body
• Lower Mental Body
• Higher Mental Body
• Causal Body
• Soul Body
• Integrated Spiritual Body

The term subtle bodies describes the various layers of vibrating energy that make up a human being beyond the obvious physical layer. Although they cannot be seen by the physical eyes, they can be seen psychically through the third eye or with the aid of Kirlian photography. As you move outwards from the physical body into the auric field, each subtle body vibrates at a slightly faster vibration than the one before it. So the etheric body is faster than the physical and the emotional body is faster than the etheric body etc. Each of these different layers of energy, including the one we recognise as the physical body interpenetrates the others to work as a complete system.

The Subtle Energy Points

• Earth Star
• Hara
• Thymus
• Soul Star

Within our subtle energy system there are many energy points or centres, each with their own particular focus and function.  Check out the next post where I describe in more details each of the energy bodies otherwise known as “lightbodies”.
