The Energetic Body

In her book The Anatomy of the Aura- A Start Here Guide for Beginners-, Eliza Swann lists a few words and their definitions so we can begin to understand our auric energy field. There are a number of books about this topic, some with a scientific approach, others with a spiritual approach, but I believe your curiosity about it is the best way to start.

THE AURA OR AURIC FIELD

Aura is an energy field that surrounds, penetrates, and extends out beyond the Physical Body. It is electromagnetic and made up of varying types of vibrations or frequencies that are particular to the individual. An Aura surrounds every living thing, including humans, animals, and plants. Inanimate things such as rocks, objects made by humans, and the sun, the moon, earth, and all the other planets in our universe have auras as well. The Aura has layers in it that correspond to the different mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual components of an individual

THE BIOFIELD

The word chosen by a team of National Institutes of health Scientists in 1994 to describe the field of energy and information that surrounds and interpenetrates the human body. It is composed of both measurable electromagnetic energy as as yet immeasurable subtle energy.

THE CHAKRAS

Chakras are located at points on the body where a number of nadis (energy channels or meridians) converge. In Indian Tantric traditions, from which the concept derives, chakras are focal points for meditation within the human body, visualized as structures of energy resembling discs or flowers.

ELECTROMAGNETISM

Exists within every biological body. electricity is required for the nervous system to send signals throughout the body and to the brain, making it possible for us to move, think, and feel. Human electricity in the brain and nervous system creates human magnetic fields.

There are billions of nerve impulses in the body, and these are constantly creating complex magnetic fields. the human electromagnetic field is generated most strongly by the heart.

ENERGY

Energy defies simple explanation. the word derives from the Ancient Greek energeia, which loosely means "activity." Energy is an invisible force that animates, transforms, and changes objects, Scientists have categorized different form of energy, such as electrical energy, magnetic energy, radiant energy or thermal energy. Many spiritual traditions describe a universal energy that animates all life.

ENERGY HEALING

Describes any practice that works on healing subtle or invisible energy to restore health and balance to a person, place or thing.

THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY FIELD

UEF has many different names, including the Universal Mind, The Collective Consciousness, and the Akasha. This is the energy field of the entire universe.

It links everyone and everything in our universe and beyond- past, present and future. It can be compared to a huge energetic spiderweb that joins all of creation together.

VIBRATION

Is an instance of shaking motion, quiver, or tremor caused by an external force such as sound or movement.

There is no solidity to be found in the universe. Any form that appears solid is actually created by an underlying vibration. Matter is constantly changing from a solid particle to an energetic wave through vibration.

RESONANCE

Comes from the Latin resonare, which means "to resound"- to sound out together with a loud reverberation.

Objects tend to vibrate at a specific rate known as the object's natural, or resonant, frequency. An object will vibrate much more strongly when it is subject to vibrations at a frequency equal or very close to its natural frequency.

In physics, this phenomenon is called "resonance." Resonance also applies to the human energy field (HEF), each person hsa a specific energetic vibration. your particular vibration will attract and amplify any like vibrations in your environment. Like intensifies like.

THOUGHT FORMS

Are mental constructs or images that are highly charged with repetition, emotion, and energy. Though forms can be projected consciously or unconsciously at another person.

A thought form can mark or alter a person's energy field and can cause a person to attract or be attracted to whatever the thought form represents.
