Your Energy Body

Your Energy Body

Excerpted from The Art of Conscious Creation, How You Can Transform the World 

 

A person’s energy body has three major interconnecting elements. One is the overall aura or capsule of energy that surrounds the body, most often in an oval shape extending 24 to 36 inches outward from the surface of the body. The second is represented by the channels of energy flow connecting the seven main energy vortexes or chakras that regulate energy coming into and going out of the energy body. These seven chakras reside on the same linear alignment as the body’s primary energy meridian, through the center of the body, energetically paralleling the structure and function of the spinal cord to the physical body. Doctors of Oriental Medicine were among the first to recognize the extensive energy pathways, using them for the treatment of illness through acupuncture.  The third is the connection with the Universe through the chakra system of energy exchange. 

 

The seven chakras each correspond with key aspects of our terrestrial and spiritual lives, and the frequency of energy that we hold in them indicates how well we are advancing in our consciousness. As our frequency rises, we clear emotional roadblocks, heal illnesses, and generally become happier, more self-actuated beings.

 

The first or “root” chakra is located at the bottom of our torso or tailbone and is generally seen to have a red color. This chakra is associated with physical survival and our physical connection to the Earth and its energy.  Socially and emotionally, it is related to matters that have to do with how we relate to the external world–family, cultural heritage, community and the world at large. The energy here involves issues of safety, acceptance by society and our place in the world.

 

The second chakra is located near the sexual organs, between the pubic bone and the navel, and is generally seen to be orange. This chakra is associated with matters related to sex, money, work, creativity, power, vital energy, control and morality. The energy here involves issues of sexuality, our relationship to money and the flow of your inspiration.  It is our creative center.

 

The third chakra is called the emotional center and is located in the solar plexus region, above the stomach and just below the ribs. It is generally seen to have a pink or yellow color. This chakra is the center of emotion and desire, and is associated with self-esteem and how you perceive yourself in relationship to others. The energy here involves matters of self-confidence, self-respect, emotional vulnerability to others, sense of honor, fear and ego.   

 

The fourth chakra is the heart chakra and is generally seen to be green. This is the chakra which is a link between the upper and lower charkas.  It enables feelings of interconnectedness with all things and therefore enables compassion. This chakra is associated with love and forgiveness. The energy here involves matters of love and acceptance, hope, empathy, kindness and commitment. On the other hand, this is also the center of hatred, selfishness, anger, grief, bitterness and resentment when it is out of balance.

 

The fifth chakra is in the throat and is generally seen to be blue. This chakra is associated with how we express ourselves and communicate, and, as such, it is associated with sound and its creative expressions. This chakra deals with our strength of will, and the energy here involves following one’s passion, voicing our feelings and opinions in the world, standing up for oneself, criticizing and judging ourselves and others, and our ability to influence others. This is also the seat of our addictions.  

 

The sixth chakra is the site of intuition and insight, of which the intellect is one expression.  This chakra is located on the forehead just above the bridge of the nose and between the eyes. It is often called the “third eye” and is seen to have a gold or indigo color.  Besides intuition and insight, intelligence and wisdom, this chakra is associated with sight beyond the five senses, clarity and soul force.  The energy here involves intellectual and Universal truth, ability to grasp the lessons in life, including the purpose and meaning of our emotions, learning to trust intuition and the information available to us, willingness to entertain the opinions of others, questing for greater knowledge and education.

 

The seventh chakra at the top of the head is the spiritual center or “crown” chakra, often visualized as the “thousand petalled lotus,” as it is known in Buddhism. It is generally seen to be white or violet. This chakra is associated with all matters of the spirit. The energy here involves our chakra and its connection to the non-physical universe. This is the primary portal for energy entering our chakra system.  It is associated with man’s connection with and faith in the Universe, our values and ethics, our selflessness and our desire to help others.

 

Aura readers report each of these chakras appears like a pinwheel or whirling vortex of energy, extending out from a funnel-like core. These funnels are essentially senders and receivers of energy, pulling energy out of the Universe according to our conscious or unconscious will. Energy can be transported between the chakras up and down the midline (meridian) that connects them.  Each of the chakras is associated with a series of organs, and dysfunction or energy obstruction in a chakra can presage illness in the corresponding organ.  These chakras and their corresponding organs can harbor old memories, including those from past lives, essentially packets of energy-information stuck from long ago, which are one of the main sources of blockages to a free flow of life force energy.  This is why massage and therapeutic touch can cause the replay of old memories. These memories get repressed and trapped because of their overwhelming emotional charge. Some people actually experience moments of clarity from a past life through touch therapy. Other people may not consciously remember a past life, but the emotional residue from a previous existence can also clog up the energetic works, lodging in the energy body until released.

 

One method of releasing emotional charges from old memories and past lives is to call forth the memory, examine and lovingly allow it to go. Meditation and deep breathing exercises can help in the process.  Or alternatively, the belief that enables the memory’s existence can be located, released and replaced with a positive belief or thought that generates a positive reality.

 

The healthy aura, which is the extended energetic body around each individual, generally has a mix of iridescent colors that reflect the person’s vibrant mental, physical and energetic state.  However, colors in the chakras and the aura change depending on the thoughts, memories and emotional charges that are held within. Color represents wavelength or frequency of the thought held in that portion of the energy body. Thus, if the person is depressed or angry or driven by fear, the energy visible in the aura will be gray or black, and may be incoherent or diffused and muddy in appearance. Uplifting positive high frequency thoughts create luminous colors, oftentimes topped by a brilliant gold, and the aura in that area is generally very coherent and clear. Pink is the color of love and in fact, researcher UCLA researcher Dr. Valerie Hunt reported measuring energy frequencies emitted from subjects registering feelings of love as being in the pink range—as she interpreted, blending the vitality of red and the white of higher consciousness.

 

In consciously managing one’s energy, the auras and the chakras can be a very valuable starting place. Throughout this book, we explore the art of Conscious Creation and the ability to use our imagination to make real what is not yet visible to us. This is the same principle. In working with one’s energy, you must use your mind to imagine the energetic system and to give it commands. You are directing energy through your will.  What you can envision, you can make reality.

 

For example, if you wish to replenish your energy supply, imagine a golden cord extending from your root chakra at your tailbone down into the Earth. See a golden ball of swirling energy at the end of the cord. Call up the energy from that cord into your body. Now see a similar golden ball above your head and run a cord up to that illuminated light. Allow that light to come down and mix with the other light. You have now performed an act called “grounding,” which keeps balance in your energetic system.

 

Here are a few other examples of how one can use consciously creative imagery to help manage energy flow in the energetic body:

 

  • Let’s say you want to open your channel to the Universe. See a large cone extending upward from your crown chakra opening to receive information from the Universe, and intend that flow.

 

  • If you want to open your heart to the world, well then, see your heart opening and sending pink light out far and wide.    

 

  • If you want to release anger, pack up those negative wavelengths into a neat tidy balloon, shove the balloon out of your aura, shoot it to the far horizon, into the wisdom of the Universe, and watch it just explode into tiny harmless pieces.

 

  • If you want more balance in your life, allow the lovely green color of balance and harmony to wash over you like a waterfall, starting at your crown chakra and working its way down.

 

  • If you want to start healing a particular part of your body, assemble those molecules of healing high frequency light and send them off to mend the energetic blockage. Really feel the radiance of that energy at work in the area.

 

Energy management of the aura and chakras can actually be enjoyable and fun. There are a number of guidebooks on the chakras and the aura that can be exceedingly helpful in this process including Karla McLaren’s Your Aura and Your Chakras, The Owner’s Manual; Caroline Myss’s Anatomy of the Spirit; Barbara Y. Martin’s Change Your Aura, Change Your Life. However, if you begin actively practicing energy management, don’t underestimate its power to change your life and prepare to enjoy the benefits of your work.
