What is...

THE SUBTLE BODY?

In the West, the concept of energy is still quite foreign and few people are familiar with the subtle body. The subtle body is the part of ourselves that yogis, Chinese medicine practitioners and traditional eastern practices often reference. It can be felt but not seen. This is the part of you that feels a vibe when you enter a room. The subtle body is full of vibration and information, and many of us can feel it but do not know how to use it to understand ourselves and influence our experiences and lives.

Understanding the chakra system is the key to becoming conscious of this unconscious material so we can positively impact our growth and healing.

CHAKRA SYSTEM.

The chakras are not physical structures but each one is associated with specific systems of the body and can impact physical ailments. Even though the chakras are not considered to be physical structures, their locations do correlate with large plexuses of nerves and endocrine glands. In other words, there is anatomical evidence that communication between the nervous system and the endocrine system in heightened in these areas of the body.

Before anything comes into form on the physical plane it exists as energy, which is why the chakra system can provide great perspective for preventative health. With the sensitivity to understand the subtle sensations of the energetic body, we can respond to our needs before those subtle vibrations become physical illness, dysfunctional relationships, self-limiting patterns or poor life decisions.

Just as the physical body develops over time and we must learn to crawl before we can walk, the subtle body has a developmental path, and each chakra serves as a building block for the next.
