THE BIO-ENERGY BODY

You have a ‘frequency’. And your level of energy, your level of life vitality can be captured on film. It’s called the bio-energy field and it is the total read of the life-energy or vitality of any organism. It surrounds every single living thing, from a planet, a human being, an animal, a tree, a leaf to a cell. Today science has found a way to read the frequency as it appears by way of a light and colour spectrum resulting from bio-feedback measurements.

Bio-feedback technology can capture a read of what is happening inside of us. It is a picture of our overall vital energy, sometimes describes as our ‘vital body’. In old world paintings you see halos or auras painted around subjects, which can be seen by a trained eye. The aura is not a mysterious and mystical thing. It is simply the energetic picture of our body’s state of wellness or illness. Today we can use it to see imbalances both on a physical and mental level. It can take a read on the health of your seven chakras, your meridians and your organs.

This science originated as Kirlian photography which came out of Russia in the 1930’s, the first to capture this energy field. This photographic phenomenon happened by accident when Semyon Kirlian was exposed to a harmless electron cascade. He saw a visible aura around his hands which he captured on film. A theory was developed that perhaps a stream of sub-atomic partials move in and out of living tissue and it could reveal important information about the life and health of an organism. Thanks to today’s computer technology you can view the full moving bio-energy field in real virtual time as it is receiving, transforming and expressing energy.

Everything that appears in the physical body is reflected in its energy field and vice versa. By returning the flow of energy to normal it reflects in the field. Restoration and balance between the biochemical and bioenergy components can result in improved health. Ancient practices that work with the energy field have manifested in more modern forms as Reiki, chakra balancing, Craniosacral therapy, gem therapy, Therapeutic Touch and the use of tuning forks to name a few, bring balance to the bio-energetic flow and field of the body.

Seven Major Chakra Centres

Teachings in the ancient art of energetic healing encompass the practice of balancing and restoring the bodies energy force; known by different cultures or practices as life-force energy, chi, yin yang, prana, vital or universal energy. This book will refer to it as life-force energy here on in. When this energy is allowed to flow freely, it can enter from the top of the head and even in through the eyes and channels itself down and up along the spine, and outward through an alignment of seven major energy centres known as chakras. Chakra is a Sanskrit word which means ‘wheel’. Each exists as a swirling vortex of light and colour also forming a vacuum in the centre. This magnetic draw attracts to them anything that corresponds to their particular colour and light frequency spectrum.

The seven major chakras correspond to seven major organs and seven glands. There are an additional 21 secondary or minor chakras, each corresponding to different areas of the body. The working of the chakra system is complex. There is a corresponding force for each of the seven major centres. It is through the process of evolution of consciousness that the energy forces to and from the chakras can be transferred and transmuted. Holistic health practitioners today use the foundation of ancient energy therapies to assist with balancing the chakra system in order to keep the free flow of life-force energy moving to the corresponding organs and glands.

Again, how you think, feel and express yourself in this life, has an energetic effect on your physical vitality. Keeping your chakras healthy and in balance by learning to quickly transform your stress and negative thinking through meditation is a method of approach that can be learned. A holistic therapy specifically called ‘chakra balancing’ is becoming more available as a means to de-stressing and keeping the centres in balance. Yoga, breath work, meditation are all excellent mediums to relax the body and transform stress. It is encouraged to keep this energy flowing and uninterrupted.

Each of the seven major chakras represents seven states of consciousness as well. Let’s look at animals for a moment. Their lower chakras would be most enlivened hence the dominating instinctual nature, otherwise known as ‘animal instincts’. For humans, chakra 4, 5 and 6 are the most enlivened today for the majority of people. They are most dominant in the building and maintenance of our vital force. We live in a particular time in evolution where we are most developed emotionally, mentally, creatively and spiritually than ever before. We are communicators. We are more in control of our animal nature than we might have been 30,000 years ago. We are climbing the chakra scale you might say as time goes on. This is also true on the single life experience. As we move from birth to full adulthood, we have the potential to become more in control of our lower nature. As we age we develop our will and gain more self-control.

The individual, who expresses an imbalance emotionally and mentally and doesn’t take care of his or her physical needs, will not be as open a receptor for downloading the life-force energy. They will find themselves drained and fatigued on every level and eventually could succumb to illness. When we are knocked out physically, our emotions are usually running rampant. We are irritable and sometimes even irrational in our thinking. An individual who is balanced in their lifestyle choices, their expression, their emotions and thinking, will be that much more receptive to drawing down the life-force energy, allowing it to move freely to ‘feed’ us.
