The Aura or Energy body

The energy body is also called the aura or bio-plasmic body. It surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body and vivifies it. It controls the physical body as well as psychological, emotional and spiritual states. It has channels of energy which circulate Prana, which nourishes the system. The etheric body also stores all information, particularly the original causes of physical, emotional and mental imbalances.

One of the original pioneers in scientific research of the aura or energy field was the eminent Russian scientist, Semyon Kirlian. Kirlian used ultrasensitive photographic process that showed a colorful, radiant energy field surrounding the physical bodies of humans, animals and plants. This energy field, or aura, extends about 4 to 5 inches from the skin's surface. Experiments in Kirlian photography have also revealed that diseased energies appear first in the energy body before manifesting as a physical ailment.

When prana circulates around the energy body and energy channels easily and properly, our body stays healthy and we feel good and happy. But through different reasons that energy flow may become blocked or inhibited and healthy prana may not be able to flow to certain areas of the aura and the corresponding organs or parts of the body. When this happens, health is inhibited and dis-ease manifests.

Sometimes the body can naturally correct this imbalance and regain health, but other times the aura and energy system needs assistance. This is where Pranic Healing offers a quick, easy, and non-intrusive way of restoring proper energy levels and energy flow in the system. And anyone can learn to do it!

 

 

Chakras: The aura's energy centres

Just as the body has internal organs that perform specific functions, the aura has energy centers or chakras which also have specific functions in controlling physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states.

The chakras are similar to power stations, providing fuel for the different systems to function effectively. And just like you have veins and arteries that distribute and circulate blood in the physical body, there are energy channels in the energy body that move energy around.

Many healing traditions teach of 7 chakras. However in Pranic Healing we deal with 11 major chakras, some of which have remained secret over many centuries because they exert such powerful effects in the body. Not having knowledge of all the chakras and their functions, is a limitation in the ability to heal. Imagine going to a physician who has no knowledge of some of your internal organs - they would be limited in the treatments they can give you.

 

                 BASIC CHAKRA
The basic chakra is located at the base of the spine or the coccyx area. This controls, energizes and strengths the whole visible physical body, especially the spine, the production and the quality of blood produced, the adrenal glands, the tissues of the body, the internal and sexual organs.
                 People with highly activated basic chakra are usually healthy.

 

SEX CHAKRA
This chakra is located on the pubic area. It controls and energizes the sexual organs and the bladder

 

MENG MEIN CHAKRA
The meng mein chakra is located at the back of the navel. It serves as a 'pumping station' in the spine and is responsible for the upward flow of subtle pranic energies coming from the basic chakra.

 

NAVEL CHAKRA
This chakra is located on the navel and it affects the general vitality of a person. Malfunctioning of the naval chakra results in constipation, appendicitis and difficulty in giving birth, low vitality and other intestine
                  related diseases.

 

SPLEEN CHAKRA
The front spleen chakra is located on the left part of the abdomen between the front solar plexus chakra and the naval chakra. The front and back spleen chakras control and energize the spleen. The spleen purifies the
                  blood of disease-causing germs. It also destroys worn-out blood cells.

 

SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
A human body contains two solar plexus chakras-the one located at the solar plexus area and the other in the back. Both controls and energizes the diaphragm, pancreas, liver, stomach and to a certain extent energizes the
                  large and small intestines, appendix, lungs, heart and other parts of the
                  body.  Malfunctioning of this may cause diabetes, ulcer, hepatitis, heart
                  ailments and other illness related to the organs mentioned above.

 

HEART CHAKRA
Like the solar plexus, the human body contains two heart chakras, one located at the center of the chest, and the other located at the back of the heart. The front heart chakra energizes and controls the heart, the thymus
                 gland and the circulatory system. Malfunctioning of the front heart chakra
                 manifests as heart and circulatory ailments. The back heart chakra
                 primarily controls and energizes the lungs and, to a lesser degree, the heart
                 and the thymus gland. Malfunctioning of the back heart chakra is marked
                 as lung problems such as asthma, tuberculosis, and others.

 

THROAT CHAKRA
This is located at the center of the throat. It controls and energizes the throat, the thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, and lymphatic system and to a certain degree, also influences the sex chakra.

 

AJNA CHAKRA
Also known as master chakra, the ajna chakra is located at the area between the eyebrows. It controls and energizes the pituitary gland, the endocrine glands and energizes the brain to a certain extent.

 

FOREHEAD CHAKRA
This is located at the center of the forehead. It controls and energizes the pineal gland and the nervous system. Malfunctioning of the forehead chakra may result in the loss of memory, paralysis and epilepsy.

 

CROWN CHAKRA
The crown chakra is located at the crown of the head. It controls and energizes the pineal gland, the brain and the entire body. It is also one of the major entry points of prana into the body.

 

HAND CHAKRAS
There is also a smaller chakra (called a minor chakra) in the palm of each hand. It is these chakras that allow a person to scan the aura and feel energy as well as using cleansing and energising techniques to distribute
                  prana around the aura and etheric body.
