The Subtle Bodies
The Basics
Physical etheric body
The physical subtle body, or etheric blueprint, tends to be closest in vibration to the physical body and can often be seen with a psychic eye as a white aura around that body. It is a biomagnetic program and holds imprints of past life dis-ease, injuries and beliefs, which present life symptoms then replay. It also holds subtle DNA that may be activated, or switched off, by behaviour and beliefs, and which in turn affects DNA in the physical body. It is connected through the seven traditional, lower frequency chakras on the body, and the soma, past life, alta major and causal vortex.
Emotional etheric body
The emotional body is created by emotions and feelings, attitudes, heartbreaks, traumas and dramas, not only in the present life but in previous lives. Emotional dis-ease shows up as dark or distorted patches within the subtle emotional body, the solar plexus and heart chakras. The emotional body may contain engrams, bundles of energy that hold a deeply traumatic or joyful memory picture. Dis-ease in this body may also be reflected in the sacral and base chakras, and the knees and feet which will act out insecurities and fears.
Mental etheric body
The mental body is created by thoughts, memories, credos and ingrained beliefs from both the present and previous lives. It is connected particularly strongly through the throat and head chakras, but may be reflected in the lower body chakras also. This body holds the imprint of all that has been said or taught by authority figures in the past along with inculcated ideologies and points of view. It may need to be cleared and reprogrammed with a perspective more suitable to the current stage of spiritual growth so that it opens the way for evolution on all levels.
Karmic etheric body
The karmic body or blueprint holds the imprint of all previous lives and the purpose for the present life. This means that it contains mental programs, physical imprints, and emotional impressions and beliefs that you hold about yourself, many of which may be contradictory as they may arise from very different experiences in various lives. When the karmic body is healed, evolutionary intent may be actualised. This body is accessed through the past life, alta major and causal vortex chakras but may also affect the soma, knee and earth star.
Ancestral etheric body
The ancestral body holds all that you have inherited down your ancestral lines on both sides, everything your ancestors passed on to you either at the physical or more subtle levels. This may include family sagas, belief systems and attitudes, culture and expectations, traumas and dramas that shape your world. Healing sent back down the ancestral line to the core experience rebounds forward to heal the line going out into the future, making change possible. This body can be accessed through the soul star, past life, alta major, higher heart, earth star and Gaia gateway chakras. It has a great deal to do with how much at home you feel on the planet and whether you are able to put your soul purpose into practice. You may need to release ancestral expectations from this body before soul evolution can occur.
Planetary etheric body
While you are in incarnation, you also have a subtle energy body that links into the planet and the Earth’s etheric body and meridians. This planetary body is connected to the wider cosmos, the luminaries, planets and stellar bodies and the outer reaches of the universe. Through this planetary body you are, therefore, connected into the wider whole. The planetary body is reflected in your birthchart and is accessed through the past life, alta major, causal vortex, soma, stellar and Gaia gateway chakras. Cosmic or soul dis-ease can be corrected through the planetary subtle body in addition to ancestral and genealogical karma.
Spiritual body or Lightbody
The spiritual body or lightbody is an integrated, luminous, vibrating energy field consisting of the physical body and all the subtle energy bodies, plus the spirit or soul, connected through all the chakras but especially through the higher dimensional ones: soma, soul star, stellar gateway, Gaia gateway, alta major and causal vortex. It is an electromagnetic field of varying oscillation with integrated frequencies from the highest to the lowest: being light in all its varied manifestations. The body itself resonates with the universe, the universal mind and with your own soul or spirit. When the lightbody is activated, it can literally re-encode your ’junk DNA’ bringing out its highest potential and allowing your soul’s purpose to manifest.
