Hi all! Today I will talk about the subtle human bodies, their properties, as well as how they feel. At least how I feel about them. Today I feel 4 bodies, sometimes 5. So, in total, generally accepted for our understanding, there are 7 subtle human bodies (in some sources 9).
Human subtle bodies are energy systems that are designed to support the full functioning of a person as a multidimensional model.
Physical body
Of course, you can’t call it subtle, but it is part of the general family of bodies of our existence in this world. It is what helps us gain life experience and realize God's plans. It is thanks to him that we learn to understand this world and interact with it.
Our task is to maintain the health of the physical body. Keeping the physical body in good shape helps us to better understand this world and gain maximum experience. In addition, we can and should become co-creators with God and help him. Do not ask like slaves, God forbid, but help him create in this world. The big mistake of many people involved in spiritual practices is neglecting their physical body. The body must serve the soul, help it live in this world, and it must be healthy.
Etheric body
It carries life force (prana) and follows the shape of the human body. Our endurance and the health of the physical body depend on the etheric body. Fatigue or drowsiness also depends on our broadcast.
Many people do not know, but a person’s etheric body is located in 2 projections. First, is located close to the physical body and follows its shape (see image). When you bring the palm of your hand to your own or someone else’s body, you will feel elasticity at a distance of 1-3 cm from the physical body. This is the etheric body.
But there is and another projection of the etheric body. It, depending on the strength and pumping, can be several meters or even tens of meters. It is dense and feels quite good. The outer shell is easy to increase and decrease. I move it a few meters quite easily. I feel it like a grayish haze. The external ether no longer follows the shape of the physical body, but looks like a cocoon, naturally increasing in nature and decreasing in rooms.
The main task of the etheric body is to saturate the physical body with energy. After the death of the physical body, the etheric body is destroyed on the 9th day.
Astral body
That is why in esotericism so much time is devoted to astral corrections, without taking into account that the astral body is influenced by karmic, and incorrect actions with the astral can not only not help, but also aggravate the situation. Most often it is the latter that happens.
After the death of the physical body, the astral body disintegrates on the 40th day.
Mental body
This is the body of the mind and thoughts. It reflects our beliefs, and has a higher frequency structure compared to the astral. All religions are also in this body. It is in the mental dimension. The brain does not generate thoughts, it simply processes information from the mental dimension. It is accepted that the mental body disintegrates 90 days after the death of the physical body.
The etheric, astral and mental bodies die along with the physical and constitute the lower triad of the human soul, which is not transferred to subsequent incarnations.
Causal (casual, karmic) body
This body forms the consciousness of the soul based on a person’s actions, thoughts, and emotions. Here the experience of all incarnations, everything experienced and experienced is collected. The karmic body affects our thoughts and actions. It helps to understand this world through logical thinking and reasoning.
Practical guide for:
brain development, sensitivity to energies, solving health problems, gaining the skill of working with the energy of love, relieving psychological problems and mastering methods of changing fate.
After the death of the physical body, the casual body transmits all information and experience further. This information shapes desires and aspirations.
At times I manage to feel this body as a need for some action. Intuition is closely related to this projection.
Buddhic (spiritual) body
This is the body of consciousness or the intuitive body. Here you can find information about your worldview, views, and values. A person with a strong buddhic body calmly handles difficult life situations. He simply feels any situation from the inside, and understands the whole game of what is happening.
I really like being in this dimension, when nothing affects you and you feel harmony and freedom.
Atmanic body
It is the higher self or the main purpose of a person's life. If a person has a developed atmanic body, he feels the spark of God within himself. In other words, he feels a clear connection with the Creator.
There are also sunny And cosmic body, but at this stage I don’t see the point in writing about it. You need to understand and feel the first 7 subtle bodies of a person. You can write a lot, but will it be true?
Addition
Often the 7 subtle human bodies are depicted with this picture.
When I learned to feel subtle bodies from such a picture, I didn’t understand why I couldn’t feel anything other than the broadcast. Only later did I realize that this was a conventional image. In fact, it's not like that. Each structure has its own dimension. And if we take, for example, the mental body (see the picture above), it is in 4th place, but not as depicted, but in 4th place in terms of frequency increase. Those. the densest body is physical, less dense and higher frequency is etheric, even less dense and high frequency is astral, etc.
The mental body is not the same as in the picture in the form of an oval. It changes with thoughts and can be of any size, for example, the size of our planet or solar system.
The etheric body may be larger than the astral body, but in frequency it is in 2nd place after the physical one.
It's enough for today. I think the general structure and purpose of human subtle bodies is clear.
Good luck and prudence to you! Sincerely, .
Let's start getting acquainted with the structure of the human energy body. But before that, let’s take the following as an axiom. The energy body is an integral part of a 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. It has its own anatomy and functioning features.
Let us 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 “subtle” bodies, energy centers, energy channels.
Subtle human bodies. 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 “area of responsibility.” Every body can be developed. Each of these bodies can be controlled. All seven bodies are connected to each other. This is all one whole and the connection between them is inextricable.
Physical body. This body is the carrier of all other, “subtle” bodies. If there is no living person, there are no 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 is manifested. The physical body is the summative result of the activity of all subtle bodies. Whether 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.
Etheric 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 is emitted by a person as a biological object. This layer was recorded by the Kirlian spouses, called 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 almost everyone can feel and distinguish. The layer of the etheric body is identified and “felt” in the form of light warm vibrations near the surface of the body. In places where disease energy accumulates, it appears as cold depressions and bumps in the flat surface of the layer.
This body contains the energy of disease, foreign pathogenic energy that harms health. Contact work with the patient involves finding such foci and concentrating the energy of a specialist healer in the area of these foci.
It is also quite easy to see it if you have basic astral vision skills. This is very similar to the visible vibrations in 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 also called "aura". The next layer that follows the etheric body. In size, it can extend beyond the surface of the body by several tens of centimeters, in special cases - more than a meter. A plexus of different types of energy lives here. It is this layer that participates in energy exchange between people and the 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 how to photograph auras.
This layer is home to such energy-informational entities as damage, the evil eye, and love spells. The settled entities are “planted” here. The energy vampire needs to break through this layer in order to establish a connection with the victim. The astral body is home to energy and psychoenergetic blocks. This is where the chakras manifest themselves. When working with negative influences, specialists work specifically with the astral body, groping and “pulling out” foreign energy.
At the astral level, the body is working with a human phantom. The astral body is in contact with energy-informational entities of the astral world - spirits. Yogis after long training can show a focus of presence in two places at the same time. They achieve this by isolating their astral double and colossally densifying their astral field. As a result, the phantom becomes dense and visible to normal vision. The astral body dissolves (dies) on the 40th day after the death of a person.
Mental body. Part of the common information field of the Earth and the Universe. The mental body can extend beyond the physical body by several meters. Thoughts, accumulated knowledge and memories live here. Zombification and mind manipulation programs also live here.
How often have I noticed that a person’s character, behavior, and type of thinking changed under the influence of destructive programs, especially love spells. After this, I came to the conclusion, and I’m not the only one who thinks so, that the thought process is carried out not in the limited space of the cranium, but somewhere outside. In the mental body. And that you can influence this body - “clean” or “dirt” it, instill 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 from the mental body. Or suggested through the mental body. You can “feel” the aura, but thoughts... You can feel them, you can even see them, but for this you have to 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 the 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 a person’s death.
Karmic body or “body of fate”. It hardly has clearly fixed and measurable contours. It is called the “body of fate”, since it is in this body, 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 throughout life in order to create our new “I” in the next life based on our past life, the past “I”.
Buddha said: “Everything that 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 further. 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 the person lives the destiny allotted to him. Or he learns to interact with his “body of destiny” and changes the course of his life.
Ancestral curses and the causes of karmic diseases live here. Here distortions of fate and disruptions to the normal course of events occur, 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 destiny, you yourself need to have access to the higher fields of the Universe, to the space where a person’s consciousness, his soul and karma originate.
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 turning to the very source of causes - to the karmic body.
Intuitive body or "buddhic body". Remember what I said that the mental body is the realm of logic, thoughts and reflections? But the intuitive body is the realm of the extraconscious, intuitive. This is the body of insights, sudden ideas, discoveries. This is where 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 takes place. The Sahaasrara chakra is the transition in the energy body from the level of human energies to the level of Divine energies.
Intuitive body... So-called insights occur when a person resonates with the information field of the Universe and gains access to information directly, without reflection, distortion, or hesitation. The American “sleeping” seer Edgar Cayce called this field of the Universe the “Akashic Chronicles”. Casey himself gained access to information about people and 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 contact with egregors occurs. Religious ecstasy and meditative trance are a manifestation of a person’s immersion in this body and higher bodies.
Atmic body. The highest body in the general structure of energy bodies. A part of a person is like a drop dissolved in the ocean of the one World Soul, God, the Absolute. This is the part of God in man, and the part of man in God. The level of the soul is the level of the atmic body. Nirvana, which many people rave about and dream about, is a 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, you can find the answer to the question “Is the soul mortal?” The soul is immortal as long as the Absolute is immortal. That is, the soul of an individual person was, is and will always be immortal. The applied side of working with the atmic body consists of prayer practice. In the Orthodox tradition, they pray for the soul, and not just for a person. And it is right. All other bodies can be reached more easily. You can work with your soul only by turning to God.
We all know well that we can understand the world with the help of our senses of sight, hearing and charm. Our nervous system is responsible for this, which studies and remembers any data about the physical world. But, besides this, a person develops spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and psychologically. The so-called subtle system is responsible for the listed four development factors - an energy system consisting of seven energy shells inherent in every person. In this article we will talk about the energy shells of the human body and reveal the whole essence of this concept in the “psychospiritual” world of living beings.
Subtle human bodies, definition
The human subtle body is an invisible energy shell consisting of 7 subtle systems. This is known to every esotericist and, because esoteric knowledge confirms the fact that, in addition to the physical body, a person has 7 more subtle bodies that help him enter into harmony with his own. It is believed that several layers of the upper subtle bodies make up the immortal appearance of a person. The internal thin shells disappear after biological death, and at the time of reincarnation new ones will form. 
Each subtle body is controlled, and together they make up a multi-colored human aura. B. Brennan says that the energy shells of living beings permeate their physical bodies, like water permeating a sponge. By the way, it is Brennan’s theory of 7 energy shells that most reliably agrees with all esoteric knowledge.
Important!Modern science refutes the existence of the human aura. In her opinion, thoughts are not capable of going beyond the human brain.
Types of subtle bodies
Initially, I would like to note that the subtle bodies are located in a certain order, like the colors of the rainbow in the after-rain sky. And each of them has a specific function for the energy system of living beings.
Physical
The physical body (material) is only a necessary measure for existence on a given planet. It helps the human soul to understand everything around through the biological. The physical body is one of seven shells that are visible to the human organs of vision. The brain, heart, liver and other organs perform their temporary function in the human biological system, helping him fulfill his purpose in the existing earthly program. 
Physical functions allow the soul to express itself, to show its emotional and psychological characteristics in the form of a large organism. The physical body serves only as a temporary shell for the soul, and after death the biological system changes to another - completely new, but with similar characteristics.
Essential
The etheric body is directly connected to the physical and is responsible for its biological health. A person whose etheric energy shell is strong, has a powerful immune system, overcomes all sorts of diseases without problems, looks cheerful, capable of plunging into an ice hole at any moment. This shell can be normalized or disrupted by improper sexual communication, bad. The health of the physical body is primarily due to the ethereal shell. By the way, it helps our body survive complex operations and crises, which is why it is the focus of doctors’ attention during complex rehabilitation.
Did you know?There are no more than a thousand people in the world who have a 100% developed Buddhic energy shell.
A person whose etheric energy shell is weak or damaged has poor immune defense, is constantly sick, looks unhappy and unkempt. You instinctively want to show pity for him, help him with money, warm him up and feed him.
Astral
The astral energy aura is the third energy shell of living beings. It is responsible for emotional excitability: worries, fear, anger, joy. It is believed that the third shell is much more mobile and sensitive than the previous energy levels. That is why the astral body is often called a protective mechanism of the physical and biological structure of a person. 
People whose astral energy shell is strong can easily get excited, feel other people's emotions, succumb to sympathy and general panic. But this does not mean at all that such people are weak, not at all, they are just very strong emotionally. After all, those whose astral body is damaged often show indifference to the world around them. They cannot, through the astral shell, feel in the physical body all those experiences that are inherent in “astrals”. It is believed that the astral shell dies only on the 40th day after the biological death of a person.
Mental
The mental body reflects our thoughts, logic, knowledge. In the process of being on this planet, we learn everything around us, remember, and put together a certain “picture” about everything that exists. The mental aura is also responsible for our beliefs and stable thoughts. Some ancient Greek philosophers were convinced that our brain is not capable of forming ideas, thoughts and acquiring new knowledge. The entire database is stored in the human biofield, from where, in fact, the brain receives information. This information has already been processed, and the task of the brain is only to convey it through impulses to a specific organ or biological system. It follows that the brain is not an organ of creation of thoughts, feelings and memory, it only connects consciousness, thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
Important!The spiritual energy shell can be fully revealed only after the individual takes the path of purposeful service to God.
The mental aura is a means of connecting the physical and spiritual worlds. She dies on the 90th day after biological death. All four of the above-described subtle bodies of a person die along with his biological structure. Only those that we will discuss below can be reborn. 
Causal
The causal or karmic body is a component of the human aura. It does not die through biological death, but is reborn through the process of reincarnation. Until this process occurs, the karmic energy shell, along with the rest of the immortal subtle shells, is sent to the “subtle world.” It is the causal subtle aura that is responsible for all our actions and actions; it teaches the material body, corrects its logical errors in the process of life.
The karmic energy layer is also called the “spiritual educator.” Many philosophers are deeply convinced that this energy layer accumulates experience in each of the biological lives for further embodiment into something more highly emotional and ideal.
Buddhic
The buddhic subtle aura is the beginning of spiritual consciousness. It is responsible for higher unconscious processes that are not amenable to our thought processes in the biological brain. The buddhic energy shell refers to the eternal world of values, which at a given stage of life extend to any biological subject.
Many peoples have legends that reincarnation occurs according to certain logical conclusions of immortal subtle bodies. They are the highest organs, and it is simply impossible for the human brain to know this. After the rebirth of the soul, it finds itself in a specific place on the planet, where it needs to complete a certain task by plunging into a biological body. That is why esotericists are sure that you need to die in the same place where you were born. And the buddhic subtle aura is responsible for all this. 
Atmic
The most ideal, divine body, the spark of God. Esotericists and philosophers argue that the atmic energy shell represents a higher authority, the connection of which occurs directly with the Higher Mind without the participation of the biological brain and nervous system.
Did you know?The first principles of esotericism were laid down by Aristotle and Plato.
Our planet in the Solar System and in the Universe as a whole, due to its asymmetry and global climatic, economic, biological and tectonic processes, has its own aura, which communicates with the atmic aura of a person, draws information from it and also receives it.
What does the development of subtle bodies give?
The development of each of the subtle bodies gives its own privileges to a biological being. Depending on which shell you develop, you can get the following:
- Physical. Development will help increase health, strength, confidence in the future, and a defense mechanism against many diseases.
- Essential. Development of the circulatory system, allowing you to escape from severe frosts in winter and easily survive the unbearable heat of summer days.
- Astral. Allows you to reveal emotional perfection, positively influence yourself and others. The search for a spiritual ideal in this world is developing, emotions are in the right direction, there are no sudden mood swings of biological objects.
- Mental. A mentally developed person begins to better understand everything that happens in this world. The processes of thinking and cognition accelerate, and the penetration into previously unidentified things increases sharply. Such a person simply begins to think faster, and stupid thoughts leave him forever.
- Causal. Allows you to fully reveal such complex characteristics of biological objects as influence on the masses of people, creativity and power.
- Buddhic. Development will help to clear ourselves of delusions and ignorance in this world. Buddhically developed individuals are able to understand the Spiritual Laws and use them.
- Atmic. Very rarely develops in biological subjects. Atmically developed individuals are close to the ideal; they are the creators of new religions or teachings.
How to develop subtle bodies
To develop subtle bodies, you need to change your lifestyle, thoughts and actions.
An ordinary person has access to the experience of the physical body, an ordinary yogi has the experience of the subtle body, an enlightened yogi gains the experience of the Divine. God is one in everything and everything resides in him, and so is the physical body of a person, of which there are many, but for a simplified understanding we roughly divide them into 7-9 subtle bodies.
1. Physical body serves as an adaptation to existence in the conditions of a given planet and habitat. It serves as a tool and means of acquiring life experience to perform the necessary actions in space when a person fulfills his personal, earthly and cosmic program on the physical plane. Physical the human body is a biological organism, which is the totality of all its constituent organs, which have various functions. These functions enable the soul to express itself on the physical plane as part of a larger organism. The physical body is nourished by nine major chakras.
2. Etheric body is the carrier and conductor of life force (Prana). The vitality, endurance, and resistance of the physical body to infections are determined by the energy level of the etheric body. Hunger, thirst, satiety, drowsiness, fatigue, vigor - this is the influence and manifestation of the energy of the etheric body.
The etheric body has one main purpose: to revive and energize the physical body and integrate it into the energy body of the Earth and the solar system. This is a bundle of energy flows, lines of power and Light. Cosmic forces flow through these energy lines, just as blood flows through veins and arteries. This constant individual - human, planetary and solar - circulation of vital forces through the etheric bodies of forms is the basis of all manifested life and the expression of the essential indissolubility of universal life. The etheric body completely repeats the physical body, sometimes it is called the etheric double of a person. It is believed that the etheric body also dies on the 9th day after a person’s death.
3. Astral body. The area of vibration of this body convincingly manifests itself in the energies of passions, emotions, and desires. The astral body or desire body (sometimes also called the emotional body) is a consequence of the interaction between desire and the central Self, the result of which manifests itself as emotion. The right hemisphere coordinates the activity of the human emotional body, forming from the energy of the etheric body the energy of the emotional body based on the interaction of the energy meridians of the left half of the body. the astral body dies only on the 40th day. In occultism this is called the second death.
Ninety percent of the causes and ill health of a person are hidden in the etheric and astral bodies, according to ancient and modern spirit seers.
4. Mental body– this is the body of thoughts, logic and knowledge of a person in the process. The mental body also contains clots of energy that reflect our beliefs and stable thoughts. These clots are called thought forms. Heraclitus told us that “the power of thinking is outside the body,” that is, that thinking is not based at all on the physiological functions of the protein bodily organization, although as an information process occurring in the body it is associated with function. The immediate material structure, the functioning of which gives rise to thought as an information image, is the field formation of the biosystem. Complex subtle bodies not only ensures all the functioning of the body at the physiological and mental levels, not only serves as a repository of information, but is also a tool of thinking. The brain is a reading device that allows you to draw information from the human biofield system and the information field of the Universe. It only reflects the unfolding of a mental act taking place in a different dimensional area: the brain does not think, because the mental process is taken outside the boundaries of this organ. Remember!!! The brain is not an organ of thought, feelings, consciousness and memory, but it is what connects consciousness, feelings, thoughts and memory with real life, makes it listen to real needs and makes them capable of useful action.
The brain has nothing to do with consciousness. He perceives information from the sphere of consciousness and forms it into a sequence of influences on the nerve centers, and these on the muscles of one or another organ of the physical body. What we call instinct today is the basic set of functions of the human brain. The sphere of consciousness carries out all intellectual and emotional processes in a person’s being. and decision-making is carried out outside our brain, outside our physical body, they are carried out in another dimension - in the sphere of consciousness, and only the consequence of the thinking process is processed - its result.
The human brain is a control system for the physical body and a channel for communication between the physical body and human consciousness.
The left hemisphere coordinates the activity of the human mental body, forming from the energy of the etheric body the energy of the human mental body based on the interaction of the energy meridians of the right half of the body. This body dies after the death of a person on the 90th day.
Reviewed three subtle human bodies along with the physical body belong to our material world, are born and die along with a person.
5. Causal body or causal (karmic) . This is the body of our actions, ideas and perceptions, it is expressed in our intellect. It is this body that is our own “caretaker”, which is engaged in the “education” of a person in accordance with the requirements of the Higher powers.
Since the causal body is located in close proximity to the body of emotions and the body of knowledge, it has full potential, beliefs and actual actions. And, having noticed violations, take measures to correct our erroneous emotions or beliefs. The emotional (astral) and mental body, interacting with each other, form the energy of the next body - the causal or causal body.
6. Buddhic body or intuitive – the spiritual principle or body of consciousness (soul), which expresses itself in a person’s insight.
This intuitive energy body concentrates higher unconscious processes. It is also called the “body of values” of a person, a body that is the result of the interaction of a person’s astral-mental body with the astral-mental body of the area. It is not for nothing that many peoples have the belief that a person should live and die where he was born. The buddhic body and the energy of the area prescribe for a person to perform a certain task necessary for the given area.
7. Atmanic body – the body of ideals, the divine principle, the spark of God or the body of the Spirit.
The Earth, due to its role in the solar system, asymmetrical structure, global climatic and tectonic processes, also has its own astral-mental charge. The interaction of this charge with the astral-mental field of a person forms the 7th body based on the interaction of all channels and extra-meridial points.
This body provides communication with the Higher Mind, receives from it the information necessary for a person and transmits the necessary information there
8. Solar body is formed due to the interaction of the astral-mental field of a person with the astral-mental field of the Solar system. It is most fully studied by astrology, and it is astrological patterns, with the exception of the influence of stars and constellations, that determine the interaction of human energy with the planets. It is the planets, their influence at birth, their location in the sky that form the energy of the eighth body, as well as the energy potentials of the corresponding human organs.
9. Galactic body is formed due to the interaction of the astral-mental field of a person with the astral-mental field of the Galaxy.
The eighth and ninth bodies have the highest structure of human subtle bodies and fields.
As has already been said, matter manifests itself in a person in the energies of various ranges of vibrations: from the more “coarse”, visible physical body to the more “subtle” and completely “refined” vibrations of the invisible higher Triad of man.
Each of the bodies has its own reserve of power - energy of a certain quality and level of “density”, “subtlety” of vibrations. A person must be able to keep the physical and subtle bodies in harmony, unity and purity. All subtle bodies permeate the physical body just as water permeates a sponge. Possessing their own reserve of strength (energy), they can function independently of the physical body and are not mechanically connected to it.
The average person has poor functioning thin bodies only because we feed them incorrectly. By eating only rough food, we clog and ruin our entire bodies. Nutrition with subtle energies contributes to the growth of the functioning of not only subtle bodies, but also the entire person as a whole. To achieve success on the path of spiritual growth, it is very important to eat only that food that is suitable for the entire complex of human bodies.
A warning to all: and remember that the intangible world of thought controls and governs the physical world.
Subtle body and physical health
The astral body and surgery
Thoughts about the presence in the human biological body of certain subtle-material (or energy) substrates invisible to ordinary vision have been expressed by scientists for a long time. Outstanding Russian doctors N.I. Pirogov and V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky assumed that a person has not only a physical body, but also a spiritual one.
Now almost everyone knows that some diseases can be eliminated by the corrective influence of a psychic on the patient’s aura. It is also a known fact that among psychics there are many charlatans and people with negative energy. But, alas, most people still do not know that thanks to our own multidimensional nature, we can successfully treat ourselves without any psychics, and not only treat, but also prevent the occurrence of many diseases.
No one doubts that the physical body requires certain conditions to maintain health. The same is necessary for the astral body.
In the East, the influence of a person’s astral body on his physical health has been known since ancient times. Let’s take such a painful phenomenon as postoperative pain, and in general the state of a person’s subtle body during surgery. As is known, during operations under anesthesia, many patients experienced the unusual phenomenon of “split”: they saw their physical body from the outside, like people who found themselves in a state of clinical death. The partial separation of the subtle body from the physical, which explains this unusual state, was, of course, caused by anesthesia, and not by a coma. But one way or another, the subtle body lives its own special life during surgical operations, therefore, just like the physical body, it needs special hygienic conditions. If the biological body can be threatened by infection, then the subtle body can also be subject to adverse physical and energetic influences. After all, the subtle body is closely connected with the physical body, and any injury or surgical intervention to which the physical body is subjected cannot but affect the subtle body. The surgeons of Ancient China knew this circumstance and carried out their operations under special conditions, taking into account the state of the subtle material “double” of the physical body. Agni Yoga says about this: “All physical operations should be avoided unless the conditions of the subtle body are met. The most unavoidable operations should be accompanied by appropriate suggestion so that the parts of the subtle body can take the most necessary position. After all, you need to mentally communicate with the subtle body. If thought affirms fiery self-defense through suggestion, then many consequences will be avoided. Such self-defense from all kinds of infections is especially necessary. If during the operation it were possible to instill the necessary processes, then the help of the subtle body would significantly help the desired result. Such suggestions can regulate all functions of the body. But without this help it is sad to see how subtle bodies are deformed. One ancient Chinese surgeon used to draw out the subtle body before the operation and then explain by suggestion the new use of the organ. Thus, it is not only the physical conditions that must be taken into account.”
In ancient Eastern medicine, even physical infection is associated with the state of the subtle body. It would seem that microbes should infect the physical body, and not the subtle one. But the fact is that all unfavorable (as well as favorable) influences are carried out first at the energetic level, and then at the physical level. The ancient texts of the East say that powerful rays emanate into space from every cell of the human body, capable of killing all harmful microorganisms at a distance. The artist S. N. Roerich, the heir to the amazing knowledge of his parents, also spoke about this in his speeches. These rays represent the energetic protection that the subtle body has and which it provides to the human biological complex. And only if the state of the subtle body is not stable enough, energy protection does not work, and bacteria are able to invade the physical body, thereby causing disease.
Helpers of the subtle body, or Why does a person need an appendix?
Energy protection is not the only function of the subtle body. He is also in charge of powerful systems for cleansing the entire body, which also operate at the energy level. Consider, for example, the activity of the appendix. From the point of view of traditional Western medicine, the appendix is an atavism, an unnecessary organ. But is there anything unnecessary in nature (especially in humans)? Hardly. The appendix actually performs the most important function of processing the psychic elements of food. Its removal in case of inflammation, as is currently practiced, deprives the body of valuable mental function.
The most important organ of the human body, the spleen, also performs not only traditional physiological functions. This organ has a psychoenergetic function that is inaccessible to ordinary anatomical observations and is associated with the activity of the subtle body. The Living Ethics says about the mysterious activity of the astral body and the physical organs especially closely connected with it: “Indeed, it is possible to perform operations on the spleen. Physically, the organism can exist for some time even without it, but this will be a purely physical decision. Until now, people do not care about the consequences of the subtle body, meanwhile, the organ associated with the subtle body should be very protected, but not destroyed. The same thing happens as with the removal of the appendix. A person not only lives, but even gets fat, but still one of the main functions of psychic energy is already impaired. The appendix absorbs the psychic elements of food. Someone can live without such elements, but why deprive the body of such helpers?”
Damage to the astral body
Probably everyone knows about the existence of such a painful phenomenon as phantom pain. In medicine, there are cases where people with amputated limbs continued to experience pain in... a non-existent arm or leg for several years after amputation. Imagine: an arm or leg has been gone for a long time, but a person continues to feel it all, even his fingertips, as if he had it! And, naturally, he also suffers from pain in the old wound, which also no longer exists. Surgeons explain this phenomenon by the fact that in the brain of a person who has undergone amputation, for some reason, a focus of constant excitation has been established, activating the group of nerve cells that are “responsible” for controlling the amputated arm. But the brain rarely makes mistakes, and in this way. What is the cause of such a strange disease? The point here is not in the brain or nervous system, but in the trauma of the astral body. Phantom pains represent precisely damage to the astral body. After all, the astral body is also material, although it consists of more subtle matter than the biological one. With any injury, injury or any disease leading to amputation, not only biological tissue is affected, but also astral tissue. And if the physical tissue of the body can be cured quite quickly (or amputated), then injury to the subtle body sometimes has more serious consequences than the physical one. The astral matter of an arm or leg cannot be amputated - like gas, it remains connected to the subtle body, and at the same time it is still alive, feeling!
Phantom pain is a very serious phenomenon, because conventional painkillers do not help. As a rule, hypnosis is used as a life-saving means of healing in such cases. Only suggestion, that is, a mental order given by the mind to the “mind of the body” - lower manas, can help with pain caused by damage to the subtle body.
Gradually, the activity of the lower manas restores the balance of the injured astral tissue through volitional order. This method of treating the subtle body is mentioned in Agni Yoga. The book “Fiery World” from the “Agni Yoga” series says: “We often hear about the pain of old wounds. They seem to have healed, the physical tissue has united, but nevertheless the suffering continues. You can also hear that only suggestion can help in such cases. Wouldn't the subtle body hurt if it was damaged? The wound will heal physically, but the subtle body may feel pain. Of course, if a person’s consciousness is developed, then with his order he will force the subtle body to improve its health. But in other cases, suggestion is required in order to influence the subtle body according to the physical process. Thus, those who understand the complex of the organism will improve the position of all its bodies.”
Damage to the astral body can be caused not only by particularly severe physical injuries. Thanks to society's once widespread fascination with extrasensory perception, we already know that some diseases can be caused not by physical, but by energetic reasons. The latter include the so-called damage, the evil eye, “energy shocks” and other types of negative psychoenergetic influence from people with strong negative energy. The latter can be expressed in the form of real blows to the aura, causing temporary deformations of the biofield and even damage to the subtle body. The books of Agni Yoga say that such impacts can cause sharp stabbing pains in the eyes, ears, neck and shoulder joints, as well as in the lower abdomen. In more serious cases, negative energetic influences can cause something like neuralgia of a special type. However, a person who leads a normal lifestyle both morally and physically should not be afraid of damage and the evil eye.
What will save you from damage and the evil eye
Recently, it has become extremely fashionable to explain almost all diseases by the evil eye and damage. With this approach, the cause of the disease seems to come from the outside and does not depend on a person’s ability to correctly manage his psychoenergetic potential. But is this really so? How serious harm can negative psychoenergetic influences such as the evil eye and damage cause to a person? And is their action always as inevitable as some fans of occult horrors claim?
The human biofield is a real energy fortress, the purpose of which is to provide the body with an uninterrupted supply of psychic energy and protection from negative external influences. If a person’s mental energy, and with it his aura, are in balance, no evil eye or damage is scary for a person.
The aura surrounds the physical and subtle bodies like a cocoon. The outer edge of the aura ends with a special layer of subtle radiation, consisting, as it were, of discharges or sparks that protect the entrance to the aura itself. This “protective barrier” in the full sense of the word protects a person, repelling hostile energies that are dangerous to health with its energetic tension. But in order for the aura’s protective system to operate successfully, one circumstance is needed: emotional calm and peace of mind. The aura of an excited, indignant or irritated person, according to clairvoyants, is similar to the sea: it is all agitated, now expanding, now contracting. The tension inside the aura is constantly changing, causing overloads, and the result is a weakening of the protective line of the aura and even its breakdown and injury. A broken aura resembles a broken vessel, from which precious contents flow. In the same way, from a wounded, pierced aura, precious psychic energy, accumulated by the body and serving as its main source of vitality, goes into space. Strong excitement, despondency, fear, irritation in themselves weaken a person’s aura. Negative thoughts and feelings affect it in the same way - anger, greed, envy, etc. Thus, people, without knowing it, pollute, infect, break their basic subtle-material defense, poisoning their body and depriving it of vitality . Vampires and black magicians are not as terrible for the human aura as our own negative thoughts and feelings that violate the natural harmony of psychic energy in the body.
The protective function of the etheric body is also closely related to the state of psychic energy. In addition to supplying the body with subtle types of energy, the etheric body has another important function, which is to protect both the subtle and physical bodies of a person from adverse external influences of both a physical and subtle material nature. Agni Yoga says that the entire surface of the etheric body emits lines of force into space that resemble invisible rays. These lines, like the spines of a hedgehog, protect the subtle-material complex of a person from negative energetic influences. If a person’s psychic energy is in harmony and balance, the force lines of his etheric body are evenly distributed perpendicular to its entire surface. But in the case of strong negative emotions and other unfavorable factors, the astral body receives damage that is transmitted to the person’s etheric shell. As a result, the force lines of the etheric body, instead of being evenly distributed, become entangled and hang on some part of it, forming gaps in the body’s protective network that open the subtle bodies to harmful external influences.
The spiritual teachings of the East more than once say that a person with a pure aura and pure thoughts is practically invulnerable, since such a person is energetically fused with the Cosmos, its pure and powerful natural energy. And anyone who tries to attack such a person will actually oppose himself not only to him, but to the entire Cosmos. How successful would such an attack be? Is it possible to seriously harm a person who is under the protection of Nature itself? Evil eyes and damage are terrible only for those whose aura and subtle bodies are contaminated with negative thoughts and feelings and are therefore weakened.
The aura of a spiritually pure person has increased resistance to all kinds of negative psychoenergetic attacks. Even if the biofield of such a person is attacked, his aura will be able to reflect the main harm of the attack, and the negative consequences of a blow to the aura in the form of incomprehensible pain or neuralgia will soon disappear without a trace. Only in very rare cases of attacks by real, “professional” and extremely powerful black magicians, a person may need outside help. But such cases are few and far between. There are not many sorcerers in the world who have such strong energy. And if this happens, the Cosmos and its higher creative forces always come to a person’s aid - whether through other people who know how to stop witchcraft, or thanks to special circumstances, but protection comes. An honest and decent person always receives the support of the invisible higher forces that exist in the Cosmos and stand guard over the cosmic principle of the Common Good. It is only necessary that the person himself is worthy of such support. And for this we must live in accordance with the laws of cosmic ethics, proclaimed by all religions hundreds of years ago.
I would especially like to say about those people who tend to see the evil eye or damage as the cause of any disease and, accordingly, immediately rush in search of psychics, magicians and other occult healers, without properly trying to fight the disease on their own and with conventional methods. Such lovers of “occult” treatment, of course, do not know that the influence on their body of other people (who often charge a lot of money for their practice, which in itself is not an indicator of a high spiritual level) brings them considerable dangers.
With bioenergetic influence, the conformity of the spiritual level and, as a consequence, the energy of the healer and his patient is of decisive importance. If the spiritual level of the bioenergy therapist is higher than the level of the patient, the healing process can be successful (excluding karmic cases of incurable diseases and situations when the patient has such a dark aura that the light energy of the healer has a “burning” effect on it). If the spiritual level of the healer is lower than the level of the patient, then an attempt to transfer energy from the healer to the patient can cause an energy blow to the latter. The coarser, low-vibration energy of the healer, pouring into the patient’s biofield, disrupts its natural vibrational level and, instead of helping, brings additional disharmony and danger to health.
Unfortunately, many people do not understand the undesirability of the invasion of foreign energy into the body. At the slightest ailment, instead of properly taking care of their health, they begin to visit different healers, saturating their subtle body with energy of one or another level, until their aura begins to resemble a cocktail of unnaturally mixed heterogeneous energies. And they attribute the negative physical consequences caused by such a mixture to the influence of the disease itself.
"Cocoons of the Spirit"
Most people generally think little about what exactly, what kind of energy they saturate their subtle bodies - the main repository of the body's vital energy. Agni Yoga says a lot about how a person’s habitual thoughts and feelings determine the state of his subtle and physical bodies. And if bright altruistic thoughts and feelings with their positive energy “brighten” and heal our body, then negative mental experiences saturate it with negative energy, steadily reducing the energy potential of the astral body, and with it the vitality of the physical body.
In “The Facets of Agni Yoga” it is said about the impact of the energy of thoughts on the state of both the astral and physical bodies:
“Among the highest thoughts, the body is transformed. Thoughts of lust have a particularly clear effect on the nervous system, and the body succumbs to them especially quickly. Each thought of any order affects and each leaves its own glyph ( Greek. - drawing, pattern, sculpture) on the physical shell. Like a well-played violin, the body sounds to habitual thoughts. But the impact is much deeper, and it affects other human bodies. The astral and mental shells react most quickly to thoughts. They become so accustomed to being in tune with their usual thoughts that their consequences sometimes occur instantly.”
As stated in the teachings of Living Ethics, each person is the “architect” and “builder” of his own subtle bodies: “Each thought contributes its elements to the composition of these bodies. These shells can be shining, luminous, clear, dull, gray, obscured and dark. The thought of Light brightens them, the thought of darkness darkens them.
The physical body is also lightened and darkened. Often this influence of thoughts can be clearly seen on a person’s darkened face. Shells are cocoons of the spirit they envelop. Everyone has them, but their composition is very diverse. The fetid, poisoned physical body of an alcoholic also contains the astral and mental bodies corresponding to it in composition - a very bad house. People care about their home, but they do not care about the room in which their spirit lives. Building elements enter bodies through consciousness, or rather, consciousness imposes its own characteristics on them and colors them in appropriate tones, thereby determining their essence. Two may look at the statue of a naked goddess, but each will put the stamp of his consciousness on this perception. This is why control over thoughts is needed, so that elements that are obviously unsuitable or that bear the stamp of darkness do not enter into the construction of bodies.”
Of course, one can object here: how can we learn to prevent negative thoughts from entering our consciousness if the life around us is full of imperfections, to say the least? Any of us can be rude in transport or in a store, unfairly fired from work, and so on. But here - alas! – a person will have to choose: either react to rudeness and injustice with complete composure, not allowing himself to become irritated, angry or depressed, or, surrendering to the will of overwhelming negative experiences, pollute and darken his aura with them, harming both his spiritual state and and physical health. In “The Facets of Agni Yoga” this problem is considered as follows: “A high spirit, perceiving phenomena of a very low order, is not infected by them, because it puts the stamp of its understanding on them. The low one will resonate with them in unison and introduces elements of darkness and decay into its microcosm. And it is not what defiles a person that enters him, but what he puts the stamp of his lusts and desires on and what comes out of the conveyor belt of his consciousness, stained by his unclean reaction to this or that influence or impression from the outside. For the pure, everything is pure, but an unclean heart can pollute even the pure. Thought can be a polluter, a weeder, a sanitizer, and a purifier. It is very important to trace the usual flow of your thoughts and note their main direction and features. What does a person bring from the conveyor belt of his consciousness into the sphere around him - Light or darkness? They contribute everything constantly and continuously, but what? The bearer of light carries Light, the bearer of darkness brings darkness. The variations between these two poles are infinitely varied and numerous. The purpose of the Teaching is to teach people to bring light into life instead of darkness. By bringing light, a person does good both for himself and for others; bringing darkness - evil. And no considerations will help if darkness is introduced.<…>Thus, with the thoughts of each day, a person attaches himself to the pole of darkness or Light, saturating his shells with their elements.”
As for how to react to surrounding imperfections, the conclusion remains to be made by the person himself. However, the consequences of saturating a person’s subtle bodies with creative or, on the contrary, destructive energy are obvious: “Some people are old at thirty years old, others remain vigorous until almost one hundred. You can ask yourself: why? The question is relevant, because science pays a lot of attention to the problem of life extension. It also happens that even in a relatively young body, something in the psyche shows all the signs of old age, or, conversely, in an old and weak body the spirit is young and vigorous and full of vital energy. There is a lot to think about before learning how to prolong a person’s life.”
As we see, such an important factor for all of us as health is determined primarily by the state of our invisible subtle-material double.
