The Subtle Energy System

Aura

The aura is the psychic and spiritual electromagnetic energy field that surrounds, penetrates and emanates from every living thing, including Mother Earth. It resonates with all of the information there is to be known about you – past, present and future: it is the blueprint of your life. Within every human aura there seven layer or bodies, and these are collectively known as the Subtle Body System. Each body contains its own unique store of information and also corresponds to one of the chakras.

Chakras

The chakras are central processors for every aspect of our being – spinning energy vortexes, taking in and releasing life-force energy, or chi. Everything that we think or feel has an effect on the chakras. An imbalance will impair our ability to process energy efficiently, which can influence temperament, energy levels and sleep patterns, for instance, or lead us to take excessive notice of one aspect of our lives to the detriment of another. There are seven major chakras, located along the spine and each has a specific colour connection.

Meridians

The meridian system is at the heart of traditional Chinese medicine and is probably most widely recognised in regards to its connection with Acupuncture. Meridians are energy channels (there are fourteen in total) that follow recognised pathways near the surface of the skin. Each meridian has a start and a finish as well as a specific direction of energy flow. Each meridian is named after an organ or function; however, meridians are non-physical, etheric channels that provide life-force energy, chi. They are generally associated with various emotional states. A positive emotional state would enhance the meridian’s flow, whilst a negative one weakens it.
