The Human Auric Field (a short introduction)

 Dear Readers and Friends,

Today I present an article about the controversial world of esotericism, treated very lightly, I'd say. As with every topic in this fascinating world, I always begin with the same rule: not believing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist and that you're not exposed to it. In fact, knowledge of such phenomena can help us avoid being influenced by them. Believe everything, but don't trust it. Don't dismiss anything out of hand, but don't assume every piece of information is correct.

The energetic vibrations of all physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual functions resonate within and around our physical body, forming layers that make up our auric field, or aura.

These layers that make up the aura , which we can imagine as an onion, form different subtle bodies, the first of which is our physical body and the others surround our physical body on an energetic level.

They are layers because they are different densities, different energy vibrations.

The densest body of all is our physical body.  This is precisely why they are called subtle bodies, as we saw previously, precisely because they are less dense than the physical body, more subtle.  As subtle bodies are further from the physical body, their density decreases.

Although we speak of distinct layers for their different energetic qualities, in reality all the layers interpenetrate, forming a single whole.  For clarity, we consider them separately and create this separation of the various bodies, but in reality, they blend together into a single whole.

There are different layers with different names that also change according to the different traditions or different authors who speak of these subtle bodies. 

The main ones are the etheric body , which is the densest body after the physical body.  It is therefore the first energy field, the first subtle body we have besides the physical body.

The second is the emotional body , the third is the mental body and finally the spiritual body  , these bodies then have further subdivisions within them.

The etheric body carries vital energy throughout the body; it is the body responsible for the life and health of the entire human being.  It is the body where the meridians we've discussed in several previous articles are located.  The chakras , in fact, are also located on the etheric body, but not only that; they are also located on the other subtle bodies.

The emotional body , as the word itself suggests, is the energetic field where our desires and emotions are reflected; it's where our emotions take shape.  If a person could see this subtle body, they would be able to see emotions as a tangible, physical manifestation.

The mental body is where our thoughts reside, and the same things we just said about our emotional body apply.

Finally, the spiritual body , which has to do with universal divine wisdom, our inner wisdom, our Higher Self and so much more.

Obviously, this little introduction serves to give you a starting point and try to understand the human constitution from another point of view.
