To think that such a remarkable and efficient design goes unnoticed by most of humanity is a tragedy that has led to many suffering unnecessarily. The subtle anatomy has been all but boo-hooed by a Western establishment that is devoted to fixing the appearance of symptoms while forgoing exploration into cause which simply leaves in many cases, the walking wounded, temporarily “healed” while the next symptom is moving into position to get the host’s attention.

Is it that simple, to think that paying attention to an expanded system that takes the best of Western Medicine and combines with the Eastern modalities would change the face of medicine? Well, yes, and no. The establishment is invested in the rewards of death defying/postponing surgeries. There simply is not the bucks in prevention. Plus, there’s that uncomfortable issue of too many people…Yet, there are a growing number of conscious doctors who are crossing over and integrating. The costs are high because many of the effective modalities have not been OK’d by the AMA and so only those with the cash are benefiting from the miracles that await. It is, however, a start.

So, why am I starting here when I want to discuss subtle anatomy? Because we have all been subject to the creation of false beliefs about our own design, our physical body capacity, and the nature of dis-ease. Those beliefs are strong…and to open to an alternative that involves invisible lines of energy in the body might be a lot to ask, unless you are open to the idea. So open up…

The subtle anatomy starts with a host of human energy fields. There are the measurable electromagnetic and magnetic fields generated by all living cells, tissues, organs, and the body as a whole.And there are subtle energy fields/biofields as well as subtle energy bodies, channels, and aspects of self. Here is where the magic lies.

The morphogenetic field is a group of cells that leads to a specific body structure or organ. The specific cells align by tuning into the resonance to create that which they are designed to manifest: heart, liver, lung…growing evidence shows that the members of a family can pass on behaviors and emotional traits through the morphogenetic  fields. It evens leads to understanding how species pass on common characteristics and developmental patterns. The possibility that the DNA receives suggestions from the fields is ground breaking. What is important to keep in mind is the profound interelationships between body parts in the physical and subtle realms. The mystery grows as to the scope of the design is grasped but the understanding of how it all fits together to create perfection is seeded as well.

Etheric or subtle fields of energy surround every vibrating unit of life. The etheric body links the physical with the subtle bodies, providing the matrix for growth, even preceding the first cellular growth. Consider the process that each human incarnate sets in motion prior to the selection of parents to activate physicalization. It is as if the necessary characteristics are “ordered” to direct the actual form.

Further evidence is showing that the meridians, the energy pathways coursing through the physical body dimensionally, are the actual interface between the physical and subtle bodies, serving to carry the information instructions to be applied to cell and tissue.

Aura specialist, Barbara An  Brennan, has identified the following fields:

Physical field: Lowest in frequency. Regulates the human body.

Etheric field: Blueprint for the physical structure that it surrounds. There is also an etheric field for the soul.

Emotional field: Regulates the emotional state of the organism.

 Mental field: Processes ideas, thoughts, and beliefs.

Astral field: A nexus between the physical and spiritual realms. Free of time and space.

Etheric template: Exists only on the spiritual plane and holds the highest ideals for existence.

Celestial field: Accesses universal energies and serves as a template for the etheric fields.

Causal field: Directs lower levels of existence.

The aura, or the field that surrounds our entire body, consists of multiple bands of energy called  fields, 12 in total. The fields convey information about events taking place inside the body, rather than just the skin. Each layer is also shown to be linked to the 12 major chakras. The fields deliver information about the state of each organ and bodily tissue. Thus, we are, at any moment capable of determining a “state of our whole being, inside and out”, at any moment…if we are so aware and in tune to utilize the existing expanded structure.

Cyndi Dale has expanded Brennan’s work into the 12 Auric Layers which include the following:

First Auric Layer: protection of life energies

Second Auric Layer: Screens feelings and emotions

Third Auric Layer: Filters ideas and beliefs

Fourth Auric Layer: attracts and repels relationships

Fifth Auric Layer: attracts, repels, and sends guidance

Sixth Auric Layer: opens to choices, enacts decisions

Seventh Auric Layer: connects with spirits and Spirit; broadcasts spiritual decisions

Eighth Auric Layer: broadcasts karma and absorbs powers

Ninth Auric Layer: connects with others based on soul issues

Tenth Auric Layer:Mirrors beliefs, serves as a second self

Eleventh Auric Layer: commandeers force

Twelfth Auric Layer: links with energy egg (three layered electromagnetic body that surrounds and penetrates the twelve chakras and auric bands; connects human and divine selves

Here, directly from Cyndi Dale’s The Subtle Body Encyclopedia, is a wealth of information:

THE MAIN BODIES OF THE SELF

There are seven main energy bodies in the twelve-chakra system.  These are:

The spirit: The immortal and eternal essence that carries one’s spiritual truths, which also formulate the spiritual purpose and gifts (related to psychic abilities and the Hindu siddhi). From an Eastern perspective, the spirit carries the dharma or mission.

The soul: The aspect of self that moves through time and space to garner experiences. Typically, the soul carries at least one major misperception that underlies all negative karma, or harmful repetitive patterns.

The mind: The aspect of self that carries beliefs and thoughts. The mind is a “nonlocal entity” interconnecting with other minds through a thought-field. There are many parts to the mind. The “higher mind” links with the spirit and the supraconscious; the “middle mind” connects with the brain (or physical body) and the unconscious; the “lower mind” represents the soul and the subconscious.

The physical body: The carrier of the mind, soul, and spirit and the holder of the chakras. The other aspects of self plug into the chakras through the planes of light, levels of awareness that bridge life and death and assist in soul evolution.

The chakras: Regulate all aspects of human existence, both physically and through the subtle energies as twelve vortices that link with the endocrine system. The “you inside of you.”

The auric field: Manages the relationship of the self with the world through twelve bands or layers that protect, filter, and emit information. The “you outside of you.”

The energy egg: The energy egg, illustrated in figure 5.27, is an electromagnetic body that penetrates and surrounds your twelve chakras and auric bands. It creates the outer rim of your human energy system, psychically appearing as a pulsating, three-layer field of incandescent energies. Working with the energy egg for healing helps achieve several goals. Through the energy egg, you can clear negative programs, connect your higher consciousness to your everyday consciousness, diagnose and release negative energies, and attract the spiritual energies or “waves” that create lasting change.

THE THREE LAYERS

First layer: Physical, this layer is located right next to the twelfth auric field and the body. It relays information-energy between the body and inner psyche and the world at large. Through it, you deflect or attract energies to support physical manifestation based on internal programming (often subconscious or soul-based). This layer can be contacted through the pineal gland, but also through the twelfth auric field and chakra, which connects into thirty-two secondary spots in the body.

Second layer: Imaginative, this layer is in between the first and third energy egg layers. It looks like a thin line of energy that intersperses black energies and white energies. This layer attracts that which you imagine within your unconscious. You could call it the layer of wish-making and dreaming. If your programming is warped, you will access energies that deter you from destiny, or form fantasies that are unrealistic. If your use of the second layer is healthy, your twelfth chakra and auric field enable the manifestation of desires into your everyday life.

Third layer: Spiritual, the aura farthest from the body. This layer is an incandescent, shimmering body of energy that interconnects the outer rim of the twelfth chakra and auric field and the spiritual realms that lie beyond the human self. It attracts only that which fits your highest spiritual needs and purposes; it is therefore connected to what you could call your highest consciousness. It can actually call energies into your life that do not yet exist on this planet, but which will benefit you and other people. The possibility for producing physical and emotional miracles lies in working with this layer.

SECONDARY ENERGY BODIES Following are a few of the secondary energy bodies within the twelve-chakra system.

• The causal body regulates the physical body.

• The mental body processes thoughts and feelings.

• The emotional or blue body holds feelings.

• The pain body records your relationship with pain and holds the energy of pain itself.

• The gray body connects you with beings from this dimension and others.

• The tar body holds the codes of your spiritual purpose and spiritual destiny.

• The silver body attaches to the Akashic Records, the memory of everything you have ever done, said, or thought— or might in the future.

• The silver cord connects the soul to the body while you are alive.

• The physical etheric body, next to your physical body, holds all the energetic programs affecting your health and well-being. It is the same as the tenth auric layer, which lies outside of the skin and associates with the tenth chakra. This etheric body can psychically journey separately from the body, as when one is dreaming.

• The soul etheric body covers the soul and holds its energetic memories, imprints, and needs. It can travel separately from the soul through the various planes of existence.

• The etheric mirror reflects your essence as human and divine and is a template for physical health and function. It is located in the etheric realms and mirrors your optimum human state to you, generating the correct and perfect codes for your physical and energetic body. Through it you access accurate DNA patterns and use intention, vibrational methods, or various techniques to translate healing directly into the body.

• The light body is a series of vibratory energy bands that emanate from the central core of the body. When opened, these surround the body and allow it to tap into the various

All I can say is…wow!!! Twenty minutes ago I was a body doing work at the computer with an awareness that was somewhere out in the forest wondering what the tides might be doing…

This is a significant introduction to the oh so much more parts of you. Simply drink it in. This is the design of every living human being. Let that in. When you interface with someone, there is a whole bunch of energetic interaction that is below consciousness. You can make adjustments to be able to make conscious what is actually going on if you are so directed. Awareness of the expanded you is the first step.

Now, as you go about your day, bring to your awareness that what is before you is so much more. Start to tune in and notice what is revealed. Consider tuning into your own auric layers for communication. That first step activates a reciprocal process that will unfold if you stay in alignment with it. Pay attention and ask questions. Talk to your self on all levels. Befriend all your energy bodies and get conscious reports on your current state of being…it is entirely doable…it is part of your original design.
