How Does Our Physical Body Relate to Our Subtle Energy Systems?
The physical body consists of energy that vibrates very slowly, which is why it appears to our physical
eyes to be solid. This has lead us to focus mainly on the physical aspect of ourselves without
recognising that it is actually created from and sustained by the energetic layers that are outside of
our normal perception.
Our energy points, energetic layers and subtle bodies create an interconnected field of energy
around the physical body that is commonly known as the auric field. Each subtle body connects into
the physical body via an energy point or chakra, which directs the energy into the physical body via
the meridian system.
Our Chakras are subtle energy points, literally wheels or vortexes of energy. They act as energy
gateways or energy exchange points.
We have several hundred of these energy exchange points within our energetic systems but the
most well known ones are the seven which are etherically connected into the spinal column and
head.

When they are healthy and functioning properly the chakras act as gateways for vital life force
energy from the subtle bodies to enter the physical body via the nadis and meridians, while at the
same time providing an exit point for lower frequency energy to be released back into the subtle
bodies for transmutation.
The physical body is dependent upon this vital energy flow to maintain optimum wellbeing. Chakras
can become blocked by long held negative states - rigid thought patterns, negative emotions, toxins
etc. In addition to its other functions each of the seven main chakras represents a level of
consciousness or developmental stage of life.
We have a set of Flower, Gem & Crystal Essence combinations to help you to re-balance your
Chakras. The ten Essences in this range are designed to help you to open and balance a specific
chakra and to help you to release and work with the thoughts, emotions & energies related to that
chakra. You can find our range of Chakra Essence combinations in the Flower Essence shop here -

Our Subtle Bodies & The Aura
The term subtle bodies describes the various layers of vibrating energy that make up a human being
beyond the obvious physical layer. Although they cannot be seen by the physical eyes, they can be
seen psychically through the third eye or with the aid of Kirlian photography.
As you move outwards from the physical body into the auric field, each subtle body vibrates at a
slightly faster vibration than the one before it. So the etheric body is faster than the physical and the
emotional body is faster than the etheric body etc. Each of these different layers of energy, including
the one we recognise as the physical body inter-penetrates the others to work as a complete system.
Our subtle energy bodies include the: Etheric Body, Emotional Body, Lower Mental Body, Higher
Mental Body, Causal Body, Soul Body and the Integrated Spiritual Body.
