Etheric body and energy vibration therapy. Etheric body and spiritual practice

The ethereal subtle body corresponds to the chakra and is controlled directly by it; this is the second body after the physical body, which performs very important functions for the life and development of a person.

The etheric body is the closest to the physical body, it envelops it, as it were, and you can see it. If you look at the hand, at the palm, and scatter, blur your view, then you will see, as it were, a halo, a radiance around your fingers at a distance of about 5 mm. from the skin - this is the etheric body.

Depending on the energy development of a particular person, the thickness of the etheric body will be different. If a person is energetically weak, not hardened, exhausted, his etheric body will be 5 mm to 1 cm from the body, that is, it will barely fit the physical body.

And if a person is engaged in his energy and physical development, sports, hardening, etc., in some cases, the etheric body can reach 5 cm. This is very cool. Such people, with a developed etheric body, do not freeze at all in winter and do not overheat in the summer in the heat, their body is constantly warm as much as necessary.

Interestingly, the color of the ethereal energy itself does not match the energy of the chakra, that is, it is not orange. The color of ethereal energy is almost transparent, with a slight hint of metal, like mercury. How to purposefully gain ethereal energy - this is studied in detail in the classroom in the System of Acad. Mianie M.Yu. To gain energy, there are special techniques.

What is the etheric body responsible for, its functions

1. For maintaining and maintaining the same body temperature, the etheric body itself is a thermal cushion. So that a person does not freeze in winter, and does not overheat in summer.

2. For managing blood flow throughout the body and bringing blood cells from the lungs (where the blood is saturated with oxygen) to every cell of the body.

3. Like Svadhisthana, the etheric body influences the entire circulatory and urinary-genital systems.

4. In particular, the etheric body is responsible for protection against viral infections, and immunity, so that a person can successfully resist various bacilli and viruses.

What oppresses and destroys the etheric body?

1. Not a healthy lifestyle - when a person does not take care of his body, health, does not train his body, does not make him strong, does not temper him.

2. Emotional clamps of Svadhisthana, blocks, fears and complexes - in the field of relationships, when a person is notorious, closed or angry, tightness in sexual matters (fears, prohibitions - “sex is bad, it is evil, etc.”), etc. In general, when a person is accustomed to living in a rigid framework and he does not have the freedom of external manifestations and naturalness, his Svadhisthana, along with the etheric body, will be oppressed.

3. The ethereal body is destroyed - by violating the principles of Svadhisthana - more details. Then breakdowns, negative influences can appear in the etheric body, and the person will lose part of his etheric energy.

How to train and develop your etheric body

1. It is best to train the etheric body with good regular physical activity (sports, etc.) and hardening. Very well activates and starts the processes of development of the etheric body - hardening: dousing with cold water, a contrast shower, rubbing with snow in winter, etc. This immediately includes a set of energy for the etheric body, its growth, self-healing, etc.

2. This is the implementation of the principles of Svadhisthana in your life, read more.

3. These are special esoteric techniques for direct collection of energy on the etheric body (its pumping), its restoration and disclosure. This is studied in detail in the relevant classes at our school.

4. And of course, individual work with a Spiritual Healer, who can directly view, scan not only the etheric, but also any other of your bodies, including the physical, tell where there are damages, deviations, etc., and what needs to be done to make everything restore, heal and strengthen.

And seeing people from above,

I chose wooden

You are an inconspicuous pipe,

So that in the freshness of the morning,

Visiting human habitation

Chastely poor matins

Meet my morning.

Health. The rapid descent through the subtle bodies has led us to the realm of phenomena and effects, on the one hand, well known to every person, and on the other, being the subject of speculative interest of the general public, gravitating towards a miracle, and seeking it primarily in relation to their own health problems.

What is health? Before discussing this issue, you need to decide for yourself what comes first: health or disease, that is, whether health should be considered as the absence of disease, or, conversely, disease as a violation of health. In general, the author takes the second point of view: health should be called such a state of (any) subtle body, in which it withstands the loads that fall on its share in the body without significant damage, and does not cause a significant imbalance and damage to other bodies.

Thus, the concept of the health of the body includes not only the normal course of its own processes, but also a satisfactory relationship with other bodies. The author, it should be emphasized, discusses the problem of health and disease not academically, but practically, that is, from the point of view of prevention and treatment, and then the definition of the disease is as follows: "A disease is such an imbalance in the body that requires the adoption of special measures (that is, a certain treatment)". From this point of view, an increase in pressure and pulse rate in an athlete who has run a hundred meters is not a symptom of the disease, unlike a person experiencing a hypertensive crisis - with which, by the way, not everything is clear either.

The energy of the etheric body is perceived by a person as a vital (animal, vital), as well as physical force. “No strength, hands down” is a typical description of a sharp lack of aetheric energy. Interestingly, the ritual of meeting two acquaintances requires questions, the meaning of which is an interest in the level of energy and the general state of a particular subtle body ranging from buddhial to ethereal; questions about the atmanic and the physical (except for close relationships) are taboo. Examples:

- How are you doing? (buddhial body)

- How are you? (causal body)

- What are you concerned about? (mental body)

- How are you feeling? (astral body)

- How do you feel (health)? (etheric body).

The vitality, endurance, resistance of the physical body to various infections is determined by the general energy level of the ethereal; diseases of physical organs and systems are necessarily preceded by malfunctions with their ethereal counterparts. Good ethereal energy means excellent protection of the physical body: such people do not freeze, with some effort they can walk barefoot over the coals or hold their hand in the flame of a candle without harm to themselves, so that even small hairs do not burn out. On the contrary, the rupture of the etheric body gives rise to an incurable disease of the corresponding physical organ, and in fact the efforts of doctors are directed, directly or indirectly, precisely to the etheric treatment, otherwise the disease quickly recurs.

The quality of the skin is determined by the intensity of its ethereal protection; when the latter is weakened, the skin loses elasticity and firmness, becomes flabby and wrinkled, thus compensating for the loss of its former elastic qualities: it is important for the skin to have a certain mobility around the muscles and bones, which, when elasticity decreases, is compensated by folds. When the etheric energy of the intervertebral discs is weakened, they also become less elastic, but here the compensation is different: osteophytes grow around - special bone processes that strengthen the weakened spinal column; True, from this it ceases to bend, but its integrity is preserved, that is, it does not crumble into pieces.

The culture of the etheric body in the average modern man is very low; we feel it only in that case and in that place when and where strong ethereal disturbances occur, for example, ruptures, usually accompanied by severe physical pain - then you willy-nilly listen. At the same time, it is very important to feel the ethereal structures on oneself in a healthy state - both the well-being of all organs and the efficiency and beauty of all human movements depend on this. But still, even the most ethereally ill-mannered person at certain moments clearly feels his etheric body; this is:

- a state of intense hunger and thirst and, conversely, pleasant satiety after a delicious meal;

- severe drowsiness, fatigue after hard physical work and cheerfulness after sleeping in the open air;

- a state of severe nausea, when the physical body is preparing to expel from itself an etherically unsuitable product;

- physical contact with a loved one or, conversely, an unpleasant person, regardless of the presence of sexual sensations;

- sensations on the beach, in a warm bath or an ice hole.

Clumsy, awkward movements, inability to go around the corner of the table without hitting it; dishes and other small objects that constantly slip out of a person’s hands and break on the floor - all this betrays a person who has not found contact with his etheric body and therefore lives in disagreement with it.

Life of the etheric body . In general, the etheric body can essentially go beyond the limits of the physical; this is especially felt with sharp, angular movements, to which a person is unusual or unprepared. On the contrary, smooth movements, like those of mimes, creating the illusion of moving in a dense environment, mean the exact coordination of the etheric and physical bodies. When they are well coordinated, a person is also capable of fast movements, during which the physical body does not go beyond the etheric - this art is mastered by good dancers and martial arts masters: karate, kung fu, etc.

However, external movements, so to speak, are far from everything and not the most important thing.

Does the reader imagine how his wrist is arranged inside? Does it look like an elbow joint? In fact, between the hand and the forearm there are eight small bones of a rather complex shape arranged in two rows, packed in articular capsules so as to provide the hand with a much greater range of motion than the forearm relative to the shoulder. With any movement of the hand, these bones move relative to each other, the bones of the metacarpus, ulna and radius, and if they are strongly displaced relative to their ethereal shells, trouble can occur - for example, a tendon will stretch; a very gross displacement can also lead to dislocation (the so-called "habitual" dislocations always mean ethereal weakness of the joint).

Thus, one should learn not only visible, but also movements hidden in the thickness of the physical body; this includes tension and relaxation of muscles, sprains, movement of bones in joints and many other things that the average person never thinks about until he feels, for example, a sharp pain in the spleen or a burning sensation in the urethra. The culture of the etheric body includes the ability to treat all the etheric internal organs carefully and politely, watching their spatial correspondences with the physical ones, in which both bodies are interested.

However, the functions of the etheric body are not at all reduced to its interactions with the physical: the astral body, which is connected with the etheric in the most direct way, plays an equally important role in its life, but more on that below.

A developed etheric body capable of steadily transmitting powerful flows of etheric energy through itself is necessary for a good actor and singer, lecturer, orator and animal trainer. Etheric energy is like the sound of a double bass in a symphony orchestra - it is the basis, the foundation on which astral, mental and more subtle vibrations lie. Small children are predominantly controlled by the etheric body: they are tempted with food, spanked and shouted at; a weak fight (that is, without self-mutilation) is nothing but a crude ethereal meditation.

The boundaries of the etheric body are changeable; if a person is healthy and feels well, it goes beyond the limits of the physical by several centimeters or even tens of centimeters. There is a social taboo on the contact of etheric bodies, except for strictly ceremonial moments: a handshake or a kiss on the hand of a lady upon meeting. To approach a half-familiar person so closely as to feel his etheric body with your own means to directly express your frank interest in him, most often perceived as a direct invitation to intimacy.

Essential culture . Where does the education of the etheric body begin? We will talk about proper nutrition a little lower, but, of course, the beginning is not here. Probably, this is, first of all, developing in oneself respect for the dense reality and one's own physical body. All things and objects have etheric bodies, and when a person comes into contact with them, a kind of ethereal meditation arises, the nature of which largely depends on the person: how a cat can be stroked along or against the coat, and depending on this, it begins to purr or releases its claws, so any thing can be handled in such a way that it is pleasant or not, and this largely determines not only the ethereal environment around a person, but also his own etheric body and energy.

You don't have to be "psychic" to feel the ethereal body of a sofa cushion: if your palm does not feel its "field" at a distance, lightly run your hand over its surface, and most of your tactile sensations will relate to the ethereal body of the pillow. If the touch seemed pleasant to you, repeat it and leave your hand slightly pressed to the matter. If you feel a pleasant warmth or a sort of living resilience, it means that the pillow has accepted you and ethereal meditation has begun.

The objects that surround a person constantly, gradually get used to and adapt to him - except for completely careless personalities and outright ethereal vampires and sadists who strive to disrupt and destroy the ethereal field of any thing. Usually these people smell bad, and their touch causes a shudder of disgust: a defensive reaction of the etheric body, trying to free itself from an unpleasant intrusion.

Strong ethereal meditation causes a sticking effect (for example, a spoon applied to a person’s chest in a vertical position does not fall down), which should not be confused with telekinesis: in the first case, there is ethereal interaction, in the second - mental. However, strength, as always, is not the main indicator, more often the quality of meditation, that is, its level, is much more important. Does your etheric body enjoy the posture in which you sit? Does the chair or armchair like where you sit, how do you do it? Usually people do not ask such questions, not noticing that their elementary inattention grossly violates the energy of both the surrounding ethereal medium and their own.

For example, the most intimate moment is meeting with your own bed. We can safely say that a person who lies rudely and inattentively into it will turn out to be a worthless lover! With the right attitude to his chair, armchair, table and sofa, a person feels their joy and opening ethereal embrace when he approaches them alone and regret when parting; they literally help him to rest and work, normalizing and strengthening his ethereal energy.

A similar role is played by comfortable and beautiful clothing: it is an amplifier of personal etheric radiation, and its importance in this should not be underestimated. In general, the impression of human beauty is achieved not so much by physical as by ethereal means - although, of course, the harmonization of the etheric body entails an improvement in the appearance of the physical body: the nose lengthens or shortens by a millimeter, the line of the lips, posture, gait slightly change, and it seems that a miracle happened: the former ugly girl becomes, if not a beauty, then at least a spectacular person.

The technique of sex, if at all it is permissible to use such an expression, lies primarily in the ability of a couple to perceive the spontaneously arising paired etheric meditation, adequately responding to it with their physical bodies. For every physical gesture (not only in sexual contacts) one must have an etheric sanction, that is, the readiness of the etheric body to accompany the physical; much better, however, if it is the etheric body that shows the initiative, dragging the physical along with it - then the person gets the feeling that his hands and other "parts" themselves stretch in a certain direction and are involved in a whole natural movement. If a person is not internally ready for movement, for example, he is secretly afraid of it, but voluntarily forces himself, then the following effect occurs: the physical body goes beyond the etheric and, being partially "naked", produces an awkward, clumsy and, as a rule, unpleasant for the environment (or partner) action.

However, paired ethereal meditation is, one might say, aerobatics: mastering your ethereal body, according to the author, is better to start with simpler things: for example, learn to feel your own ethereal movements and not tear your natural dance in the surrounding space. Each person has numerous restrictions on physical and etheric movements that he imposed on himself (or his parents did), and their awareness and elimination also constitutes an important part of the work of harmonizing and cultivating his etheric body.

Ethereal restrictions of society . And the imposition of hard essential restrictions begin in infancy and never end: swaddling, a firm diet and sleep, don’t put this in your mouth, don’t touch this, don’t scream, don’t run, don’t climb trees, don’t fuss, sit up straight, march in step, dress in in strict accordance with the requirements of the company, lie quietly in a hospital bed and, finally, smile radiantly in the coffin!

A distinction must be made between causal, mental and astral restrictions imposed on the etheric body. Most of the rules of good manners relate to the limitation and ordering of the ethereal manifestations of a person. What can you say about a guest who, not having time to enter your house, will immediately take off his jacket and shirt, begin to subtly stretch in all directions, yawn passionately, scratch passionately, beat his thighs, suddenly sit down on the floor and jump from armchairs on an armchair, and in conclusion, peacefully lie down on the sofa? Even just taking some object from the table and fiddling with it in your hands a little longer than the allotted time is impossible, otherwise the person will be considered ill-mannered, ignorant, not knowing the elementary rules of social behavior.

As often happens, the taboo on gross manifestations, combined with the lack of training in subtle behavior, is perceived by the subconscious as a total ban on existence and any manifestations - and the person hunches over, puts his head on his shoulders, presses his hands to his stomach and tries to move only in those moments when no one is watching him.

The mental prohibitions and restrictions placed on the etheric body are often associated with the failed attempts of man to follow the social ideals of physical beauty and harmony. Who in youth is satisfied with his nose, legs, stomach? The inconsistency with the desired physical forms affects, however, not the physical, but the etheric body. When a person mentally tries to shorten himself somewhere and expand somewhere, he usually does not understand that his seemingly innocent dreams distort his etheric body and violate its coordination with the physical.

However, the worst thing for the etheric body is the war with the astral body. Becoming beautiful is difficult; but it is very easy to become ugly, even ugly: for this it is enough to hate your face or figure. Then the ethereal body sharply goes inside the physical body, protruding beyond its surface in some places in the form of sharp fangs - in this style, artists depict fairy-tale witches and sorcerers.

The social subconsciousness deforms the ethereal energy of the genital organs and the entire sexual sphere especially strongly. In atheistic culture, two completely different concepts merge: the forbidden and the sacred. Generally speaking, it is natural to consider a sexual act sanctioned by a paired egregor as sacred in view of the strength or height of the meditations that accompany it, although, of course, with a low culture of the participants, strong profanity is possible due to a complete misunderstanding of what is happening to them. However, for an atheist there is no concept of the sacred, that is, permitted only under special, sacred conditions, but only the concept of the forbidden for one reason or another. Therefore, a child growing up in an atheistic environment, or even in a religious environment, but not considering sexual relations as a very high version of intimate, naturally forms such a logical chain in relation to the sexual organs: forbidden - therefore: shameful, bad, immoral. Freud and the sexual revolution liberated us mentally, but by no means causally and buddhially, and therefore normal ethereal energy in the genital organs themselves and in the areas surrounding them is found in very few, especially ethereally gifted people, and in the rest, a typical phenomenon is ethereal weakness, the result of which are urological and gynecological diseases, impotence in men and sexual coldness in both sexes. On the other hand, the lucky ones, who know how to boost and bring out the ethereal energy of their bodies, instantly get on spreads of erotic magazines, get first places in beauty contests and become first-class models.

A beautiful, well-groomed ethereal body, whose energy is enhanced by exquisite clothes and cosmetics, is necessary to create the image (image) of a beauty or a handsome man, and here the work of a massage therapist, hairdresser and make-up artist is completed. When such a creature appears in society, the owners of strong and beautiful causal bodies are involuntarily seized with envy: after all, ethereal energy is much denser and more tangible than causal! It literally "captures the eyes" and in a sense is the most tangible power of all presented in the world of human relations. However, having saturated its gaze with ethereal magnificence, the society (oh, human ingratitude!) turns its attention back to the masters of the causal flow, who, having swallowed the insult, continue to reign over the mental and astral planes of the assembly.

Deep feelings. When a person moves, speaks, works physically, he spends the energy of the etheric body, replenishing it directly from the surrounding nature (earth, grass, trees, water, air and sunlight), as well as from the physical body (the energy of digested food) and the astral body ( the life force that the senses give). At the same time, the contacts of both the physical and astral bodies with the etheric are very ambiguous and deeply intimate - to such an extent that sometimes a person does not separate the astral body from the etheric, and in other situations - the ethereal from the physical.

For example, the expressions "deep feelings" and "strong experiences" usually imply the coordinated inclusion of both the astral and etheric bodies. deep disorder, grief, sadness always accompanied by a decrease in tone; vice versa, deep satisfaction means an increase and at the same time stabilization of the astral and etheric energy. intense joy, like great grief, usually deprive a person of appetite - in the first case, he has enough ethereal energy received from an overexcited astral body, in the second there is a cleansing starvation of both bodies. At deep emotion it is difficult for a person to sit still - it also embraces the etheric body, which begins to rush about in space, also vibrating inside the physical body: the throat dries up, the hands get cold, the legs are taken away.

On the contrary, emotions that are not backed up by the ether give the impression of being weak, powerless, unconvincing in appearance and unsatisfactory for the person himself. The level of an actor's professional skill directly depends on his ability to ethereally support the feelings of his hero; the power of the voice over the audience is made up of emotional and energetic components: the first gives, so to speak, the main content of the emotion, and the second provides its content, that is, the fullness and strength of the sound. The expressiveness of the role, in general, the ability of an actor to go on stage and instantly evoke violent feelings in the audience with his appearance is directly related to his ability to steadily keep the ethereal flow going through him into the hall. Experienced demagogues-manipulators, appealing to the lower feelings of the crowd, also instinctively or consciously work mainly on its etheric, and not only astral, as it might seem, energy. In general, the biological, bestial instincts in a person are programs of the subconscious, appealing primarily to his ethereal body. Behavior in situations of acute hunger, fights not for life, but for death with an enemy or potential prey, the state of animal horror and rapid flight cause first of all ethereal, and only then emotional reactions: in an acute situation, a person reflexively makes the necessary movements (for example, jumps into side of the car) and only after a while becomes frightened emotionally.

Group broadcast. Group etheric meditation is the most powerful means of controlling a person; the crowd, driven by the lower ethereal impulse, is capable of atrocities which, in normal circumstances, would seem quite impossible to most of its constituent individuals. In military battles, also driven by the ethereal current, ordinary people perform miracles of courage and selflessness, unimaginable for them in peacetime.

In general, when the egregorial mechanisms of ethnic, tribal and tribal protection are turned on, the etheric bodies of fellow tribesmen are first of all involted, and the latter keenly feel the commonality of their "blood", that is, the proximity of the basic vibrations of the etheric bodies. Therefore, the rituals of a joint meal are accepted all over the world, during which there is an intense ethereal meditation.

Problems of poor sexual compatibility are not always associated with selfishness, rudeness and inattention of partners to each other. Often, such symptoms mean that the paired egregore has a weak etheric body, and then the sexual act occurs mainly on the astral plane, and when meditation descends on the etheric, and even more so on the physical, the ardor of the partners quickly fades. The criterion for the quality of any meditation is, however, the state of the person after it, and sexual relations are no exception. Therefore, although public opinion unequivocally orients sexual partners to clear patterns offered in erotic magazines, films and manuals, it should still be borne in mind that not only are the meditations of different couples completely different, but also from the same couple at different moments a paired egregor is waiting for completely different actions, including ethereal and physical ones.

Poor sexual compatibility at the beginning of marriage does not mean anything, just like good: over the years, partners in both cases gradually adapt to each other ethereally, as a result of which paired ethereal meditations are getting better, but their freshness and sharpness are somewhat dulled. It is important that partners are interested in each other: this means turning on causal meditation, which gives sanction for regular meetings. Ethereal relationships and meditations can be very diverse, and most of them are devoid of a clear sexual flavor, so that spouses who do not want to profane sex to a pleasant procedure, emotionally experienced as something intermediate between an aperitif and a warm bath, should take care that they It was what tell each other in ethereal meditation.

So, one should distinguish between sexual problems associated with poor ethereal coordination of partners, and here you can give a lot of valuable advice, and the difficulties associated with the fact that a paired egregor not includes a pair of sexual meditations, and in this case, you need to deal with the paired egregor itself and its higher bodies - atmanic and buddhial.

Therefore, many seemingly purely ethereal problems, say, poor immunity, chronic diseases of various organs of the physical body and disorders of its systems, are not solved either on the etheric or astral levels, and a typical example of this is morbid obesity.

In general, excessive thickness can be considered as a compensatory reaction of the physical body to the weakness of the etheric: without proper etheric protection and energy support, the physical body insures and partially energizes itself with a thick fat layer. Therefore, the standard recommendation for fat people is this: move more and be in the fresh air, because in this case the etheric body is strengthened, and the physical body no longer needs fat protection. High-calorie diets help (and even then badly) only for the time that a person adheres to them, since they only weaken the etheric body; fasting solves the problem only as a means to radically change the etheric energy as a whole, and this takes years of purposeful efforts, which are not at all reduced to only periodic refusals of food.

The physical body delivers (through the Libra channel) energy to the ethereal in two fundamentally different ways: through food and with the help of its own movement. When muscles contract and relax in the physical body, ligaments tighten and loosen, articular surfaces rub against each other, not only waste, but also restoration of etheric energy occurs, and a different, finer spectrum of vibrations is restored than wasted. Nevertheless, ethereal energy, although with difficulty, is able to transmute from one type to another, therefore, the lack of movements that feed the etheric body - muscular, ligamentous and articular - can be compensated to some extent by increased food, but this is suitable as a temporary measure, and with constant use, the ethereal balance is disturbed - a person begins to feel worse and gets fat in an unhealthy way.

My mouth flutters like it's on fire

Guts tremble like Hottentots.

Stomach tense in passion

Hungry juice sharpens in jets,

It will stretch out like a dragon

It will shrink again that there is urine,

Saliva, swirling, in the mouth, mutters,

And the jaws are doubly clenched ...

I want you! Give yourself to me!

N. Zabolotsky, "Fish Shop"

Modern man is in bad relations with his own physical and ethereal bodies and does not feel that the main source (more precisely, soil) of his joys and emotional life in general is ethereal life. If only we knew to what extent our general emotional depression is associated with a barbarous attitude towards our own physical and etheric bodies! They actually act as sacrificial ones, and they are sacrificed stupidly and inefficiently. Of course, the astral body hears the complaints of the ethereal through the channel of Scorpio, but the person completely pushes them into the subconscious - because otherwise he would have to limit his causal flow and take care of his own health and physical body in fact, and this is soulless, selfish, and most importantly, hard and unbearably boring! There is some kind of hopeless infantilism in the public consciousness of the modern world, which organizes societies for the protection of animals and does not understand at all that their own liver, and even more so the heart, are endowed with individual consciousness and need no less care and protection than the Bugs and Badgers, so adored by their owners, and pay a person for attention to themselves with sincere devotion and love.

This is how direct mental programming of the physical body takes place. There are, however, various hidden types of programming, when a person consciously thinks one thing, and subconsciously - quite another; and sometimes mental programming is completely repressed into the subconscious, but at the same time it is very effective: for example, a person can be fat precisely because he subconsciously achieves this, and if this repressed goal is realized and removed, rapid natural weight loss occurs. Many people eat, compensating for the lack of positive emotions with pleasure from this process. This compensation does not quite suit the person, and he wants to more convincingly prove to himself and others that everything is in order, and fat acts as such proof as well as possible. materialized memory about food eaten. In other words, a person gives a command to his etheric body: to deposit part of the energy received from every bite eaten in the form of fat deposits and not to spend the latter under any circumstances. St about Is it any wonder that starvation diets in this case are ineffective?

By the way, the impact on a person of various diets very much depends on what he thinks about his body and products: both allowed by the diet and prohibited by it. The etheric body is literally poisoned by foods saturated with negative thoughts (for example: “I’m forbidden”, “it will hurt me”, “I’ll get better from this”, “I’d better eat something completely different instead”, etc.), and this poison is tolerated by the etheric body much worse than many others (for example, rat poison).

The fifth reason, rather even a large bunch of them, of various disorders and pathologies of the etheric body is the incorrect life attitudes of a person regarding energy metabolism: both within the etheric body itself, and with other subtle bodies, as well as with the etheric plane of the outside world. (In addition, there are direct connections between the buddhial and etheric bodies, so that a violation of ethics immediately leads to a violation of energy, but the author will not talk about this yet.)

At the same time, most of these attitudes are not realized by a person, but for the body it is not awareness that is important, but the actual distribution of buddhial energy.

Views on health . How much mental energy do we spend on our health? For a modern civilized person, such a formulation of the question can cause natural surprise. For him, health is not a value at all (although in words, that is, in the mental-buddhial subbody, he may adhere to the opinion that "health is everything") - in contrast to diseases, which are certainly considered as negative values, although, we note in brackets, this is also not the only possible way of looking at them.

In the public subconscious there is a set of rigid attitudes of the buddhic level, i.e., having the character of life positions, which together greatly limit the role and functions of the etheric body and extremely prevent it from existing normally, exchanging energy with the environment and supporting the body as a whole, and until a person conscious a he does not overcome these attitudes in himself, they lie on the etheric body like heavy fetters, causing all sorts of ailments and illnesses. Below are some of these settings; the author emphasizes that they do not express the way of thinking of the average social individual, but his true positions, which are embodied in his real behavior and actions.

1. Health is from God, and a person cannot influence it in any way; all these exercises, jogging and yoga are either masochism or pleasant activities that help only those who are already healthy.

2. Diseases are divided into two categories: some are fatal, while the rest are the results of a gross oversight: he stood under an open window, did not warm enough when going out, etc.

3. The natural environment is a source of all sorts of troubles and dangers, from acid rain to the ubiquitous mosquitoes. The exceptions are very few safety islands: a trestle bed on the beach, a pool with chlorinated water, a city park with numbered ladybugs.

4. Health and disease are areas that have little to do with the rest of a person's life plots, excluding the obvious obstacles created by the need for treatment.

Etheric body in connection with other bodies . The culture of the etheric body includes the culture of ethereal processes, relations with other bodies of the organism and the etheric plane.

A good exercise for the etheric body is running long distances over rough terrain. At this time, it is tested in all three aspects: there is an intensive process inside the etheric body, as well as its active exchange with the physical body and the surrounding ethereal environment. At present, a person is considered healthy if nothing hurts him, and he is able to climb on foot to the third floor without it becoming an event of the day. This, however, is not the limit of health; according to the author, in the era of Aquarius, any person who is not able to easily run ten kilometers in an hour along a forest path will be considered sick. During this time, all the main internal organs manage to “ring out”, and they do this in turn, and you can have time to talk with everyone, having listened to his requests and complaints, and then, if possible, satisfy them: some right there, on the run, some later, during day. The heart may ask to slightly increase or decrease the load, the lungs will correct the rhythm of breathing and running, the liver will ask for grated raw carrots and a sprig of dill, which are about to inflame the gums - rinse with chamomile infusion.

Modern Western medicine and the social subconscious view a person as something like a car, and a disease as a defect in one or another detail. This is very convenient for physicians, since it allows them to be narrow specialists, but it is completely inconsistent with the nature of the organism in general and the etheric body in particular: a disease of any organ is only a particular symptom of a general imbalance. However, modern drug therapy, focused not on biological (ethereal) activity, but on the chemical properties of drugs, is most often a much more destabilizing factor than the original cause of the disease - and as a result degenerates into the art of turning acute conditions into chronic diseases.

However, scolding medicine is an occupation, although generally accepted, but completely meaningless. What kind of karma does humanity have, such are the doctors, and until civilization as a whole is rebuilt on a meaningful existence in nature, instead of an ignorant despotic "reign" over it, we will have atherosclerosis and AIDS - this ethereal cancer, as well as doctors who are better oriented by biochemical analyzes and electrocardiogram than by the appearance and pulse of a living patient.

However, the rules of good manners prescribe the presentation of claims in the first place to oneself. Do I respect my etheric body? Do I love him? Do I listen carefully, or do I respond only to deafening alarm signals, accompanied by acute pain and a complete breakdown?

The art of living largely consists in cooperation with one's own organism, which not only takes care of itself, but also gives surprisingly accurate signs, visible only to its owner, and relating to all spheres of his cares and activities without exception. The assemblage point, that is, the center of perception, moves through the body in an extremely complex and incomprehensibly wise way, and its current position in itself tells a cultured person a lot, in particular, it hints at what kind of effort and attention are supposed to be from him. At the same time, the true meaning of what is happening can be much deeper than a person currently thinks.

The more important it is for a person to do something (or not to do it), the denser bodies feel it over time. You can ignore even very clear thoughts and feelings, but when, as they say, the legs themselves take you away, it is already difficult to resist. Sometimes the etheric body contradicts the causal, mental and astral at the same time, and this is a very serious sign that unambiguously tells a person about the disharmony of the situation or its misunderstanding.

Imagine a young man going on a date with his beloved. The meeting is scheduled, he already thought her, feelings, as they say, boil ... but for some reason the coat does not come off the hanger, and there is not enough strength in the hand to open the door, although this problem usually does not arise. What does it mean? The reasons for such a mismatch of thin bodies can be very different. It may happen that the girl does not come on a date, and the causal body of the young man signals to him about the coming disappointment; maybe he subconsciously does not want to go there, and he only believes that he is in love, forcing his emotional indifference into the subconscious, but it materializes in the form of a distinct ethereal resistance; or maybe his own mother, secretly jealous, is trying to prevent him from too close contact with the girl. But be that as it may, it is clear that the date will not go smoothly and will most likely bring disappointment if you do not do enough serious work (internal or external) to eliminate the mismatch. Of course, you can start to figure out what's the matter when you arrive for a date, but it's much more correct to immediately ask your etheric body: "What's the matter? Why don't you want to go on a date?" The answer is likely to greatly surprise the young man, shedding some light on his inner and outer life.

The more attentive and caring a person behaves with his etheric body - when it asks him about it - the purer and subtler it is, the more clearly his connections with higher bodies and the various possibilities of their interaction appear.

How will my relationship with this person develop? Etheric rejection, manifested in physical hostility, often means that too close contacts, even business ones, are either impossible or extremely difficult, since value systems differ greatly. Of course, ethereal agreement does not yet mean buddhic, but, in any case, it is much easier to negotiate and establish a common language with a person who is physically pleasant to you. The information transmitted through a handshake is huge - but you need to be able to decipher it, which requires a pure etheric body with well-developed connections with a thin shelt. The famous Napoleonic “trembling of my left calf is a great sign” is an example of buddhial-etheric transmission, and every person, even not so great, has his own ethereal signaling system, which deserves to be noticed and learned to understand at least a little.

The ability to complete broadcast processes without interrupting them in the middle and not being distracted by other activities is no less important than the ability to politely, without interrupting, talk to people. The natural end of an active process in any body is felt quite clearly by a person: it seems to hang up in the form of a signal: "I'm fine, thank you, you can deal with other bodies," as well as a feeling of inner satisfaction, similar to that experienced by an infant after feeding. In addition, at the end of the process, its fruits ripen, one part of which goes to the overlying body, and the other to the underlying body, and the assemblage point most often moves to one of them (although there are exceptions to this rule).

Processes in the etheric body . There are three main types of ethereal processes: oriented towards the physical body, towards the astral body, and relaxing, that is, putting the etheric body itself in order.

The ethereal process, oriented towards the physical body, is nothing more than a preparation for movement: external (swinging the leg) or internal (compression of the vessels of the organ), and most often complex, that is, both external and internal. At the same time, one should not think that the ethereal process is always something short-term, like the state of a person gathering his courage before getting up from his chair or jumping head first into the water. During all nine months of pregnancy, there is a single etheric process that prepares the expectant mother for the process of childbirth. If at the same time the ethereal connection between her and the father of the child is strong enough, then a paired (more precisely, triple: parents and child) ethereal meditation arises, and the father takes on a significant part of the burden of bearing.

A low ethereal culture, an inability to listen to ethereal processes and, if not help, then at least not interfere with them, leads to various injuries: physical movement unprepared for the ether is fraught with damage, both internal (hemorrhage, sprain, muscle ruptures, bone fractures), and and external (the child misses the pot and flops on the floor; the gymnast falls off the crossbar). The difficulty lies in the fact that the Virgo channel must synthesize various energy vibrations of all parts of the etheric body into a single stream of physical movements, and this is an incredibly difficult task that is not always satisfactorily solved, but only with proper coordination of the etheric body both with itself and with the environment. environment. A climber climbing a glacier holds a very subtle ethereal attention, coordinating the ethereal vibrations of the foot, boot and ice so that slipping does not occur. This, however, is not enough: it is also necessary for the etheric energy to be sufficient to support muscular efforts, interaction and protection of ligaments and joints, and much more, which in the aggregate is described by the short expression "climbing the mountain", and for the etheric body is an extremely difficult task. It is characteristic that when a person gets tired, he begins to slip: the etheric energy switches mainly to support the large muscles of the legs, and the connection with the earth's surface is weakened and is less controlled.

The relaxing etheric process occurs when the etheric body is subjected to strong overloads or modes of operation that are unusual for it. For example, a man falls to the ground and is badly hurt; even if nothing is broken and no bruising subsequently occurs, he needs to lie down or sit quietly for some time in order to "come to his senses", that is, to balance the etheric body and bring it into line with the physical. If the blow is very strong, a person may faint: the consciousness is turned off and the assemblage point descends into the etheric body, after which the subconscious, without interference from the "mind", puts it in order.

Another variant of a blow to the etheric body, after which a person needs some time to recover, is a direct ethereal aggression of the environment: an unexpected loud sound (shout, thunder); hypothermia, after which a person "shakes" for some time, that is, there is an intense ethereal vibration, passing even to the physical body; finally, an unexpected boorish attack - a typical low-air attack, a modern version of a blow with a whip. In any case, a person needs some time for ethereal relaxation, and until it ends, it is better (if possible) to do nothing, since the protection of the etheric body is broken, it is temporarily vulnerable and may refuse even in routine procedures - for example, a person does not hold on well to feet or drops objects from hands.

The third variant of a sharp blow to the etheric body is an unexpected transmission from the astral (through the Leo channel): for example, joy or grief, which can even take away the ability of articulation from a person. Often negative emotions are transmitted by Leo to clearly localized areas of the etheric body, and, repeating regularly, cause illnesses that are difficult to treat with medical methods: migraine, ulcers, angina pectoris, and many others. The cause of physical illnesses in this case is the weakness, lack of training and lack of culture of the etheric body, which cannot cope with the load coming from the astral body, and therefore rushes in those places where it is maximum. However, negative emotions do not necessarily destroy the etheric body: if astral meditation is completed, then, no matter how difficult it is, it descends into the etheric in the form of a certain, albeit difficult, but in principle feasible task, which in any case can be considered by a person. like an on-air workout. So in volleyball they take a heavy serve: first they soften it when they receive it, and then they turn the hostile energy of the attack into the force of their own blow. In other words, the most unpleasant emotional experiences, descending on the etheric body, can be processed in the etheric body in such a way that the person will only strengthen energetically. Where one gets an ulcer, another will become the boss, and the third will successfully divorce his wife without the slightest damage to health. Do you, dear reader, know how to work in unbearable conditions? If not, then learn it, otherwise you are unlikely to do something outstanding in your life.

The ethereal process, oriented towards the astral body, is nothing more than preparing the ground for future emotions - a process that some people master masterfully, while others, on the contrary, have not the slightest idea about it or consider it something completely unacceptable.

Example 1 Spouse meeting. Tired husband, angry and irritated, comes home from work. A good wife will not wait until his difficult astral state materializes in one or another deliberately unpleasant and unfair form (reproaches, claims, etc.), and instead of joining in the negative causal, mental or astral meditation offered to her, then there is a quarrel on the material of events, opinions or emotions, she quickly fills him with a bath or prepares dinner, raising the ethereal energy, which will rather quickly change the spouse's astral (and sometimes mental or even causal) anger to mercy.

Example 2 Preparing for the long-awaited meeting . After a long separation, a dear person comes to you. Nature itself provides that this meeting is accompanied by strong emotions, and your body prepares you for them in advance. For the past few days, there has been a joyful-anxious (does it really go? Has the plane flight been cancelled?) expectation, accompanied by intense etheric excitement, that is, increased and largely chaotic excitation of the etheric body. His energy can be wasted as such: rushing around the apartment from room to room, breaking dishes or destroying furniture, harassing others, and then there will simply be no emotions left at the time of the meeting; you can poison the astral body with it, that is, start to worry emotionally, swear at everyone, get angry in advance at possible transport delays, etc. - then the emotions at the meeting will be poisoned by irritation or grief, to which the visitor has nothing to do; and finally, by constantly making energy efforts on oneself, one can bring ethereal anxiety and excitement into the framework, collecting emotional forces for a future joyful event and trying not to waste them on trifles and frankly for evil - then the meeting can remain unforgettable for both.

Example 3 Preparing for a break. In the life of every person, unfortunately, there are negatively sharp clarifications of relationships, for which the body also prepares in advance. Even preachers and saints are subject to fits of anger - what to demand from us sinners? However, a scandal can be carried out in different ways, and in the process of preparing it, a strong ethereal process necessarily arises: a certain almost physiological excitement, the result of which is irritation or anger collected somewhere in the depths. In this case, it is important not to release them ahead of time, that is, until the situation has matured, and the ethereal process of meditation has not ended. This is how revolutions are being prepared: both family and national: the latent anger accumulated as a result of many years of oppression turns into an active-emotional state and breaks the chains that seemed indestructible: the eternally submissive husband leaves the family and files for divorce, the people throw off the power that has held for many decades. If, however, one does not wait for the end of the ethereal process of meditation, then the resulting outbursts of irritation and anger turn out to be ineffective: a stereotype of regular destructive emotional quarrels is formed in the family, as a result of which the humiliated and destroyed husband returns to his usual slave state, and individual terrorist acts and strangled riots lead to the savagery of the people and the tightening of the political regime.

Example 4 Work on yourself: extermination of shortcomings . The energy of thought is often completely insufficient to eliminate bad habits, such as laziness. A person knows perfectly well that he definitely needs to do this and that - but he simply does not have enough strength for this, or at least it seems to him. In many cases, righteous anger at oneself, more precisely, at one's lower beginning, can serve well, for the power of anger can drive away even laziness. However, this anger must be constantly burning, otherwise laziness will soon return. A restless ethereal process – restless waves constantly moving through the etheric body, and carrying the energy of a person’s deep dissatisfaction with himself, may well serve as a source of the energy of anger. If, however, this discontent is of a more superficial, purely mental or mental-astral nature, then one can hardly say that a person is internally ready for serious work on himself: mental and even emotional disapproval of himself is still not enough to the average lazy-egocentric individual has taken up self-improvement of any kind in earnest. Now, if the inner turmoil reaches the etheric body and a person literally begins to find no place for himself - then we can hope that his inner motivation to work on himself will be sufficient, and he will actually change something in himself.

Collectives. The ethereal energy of the family and the country is clearly visible in the level of their well-being and the quality of the environment; significant indicators are also the number of sick leaves per capita and the length of the working week. The ethereal energy of the book sounds most vividly on those pages where the characters drink, eat, sunbathe, hug or simply walk through the forest, for example:

"In the grass, among the wild balsams,

Daisies and forest baths

We lie with our hands thrown back

And lift your head up to the sky."

B. Pasternak

The family's ethereal problems are more related to the state of its buddhial rather than the causal body. For example, in a family where relations between parents are poor, children get sick more often, regardless of the level of family income.

On the material of family life, many aspects of the interconnection and interrelationships of subtle bodies become clearly visible, which are not obvious when considering the organism of an individual person. For example, the distribution of the buddhial energy of a family egregor among family members, that is, their comparative significance for him, is well assessed by the distribution of his ethereal energy, outstanding in caresses (“strokes”) and food; while the emotional accentuation may be quite different. For example, the most significant child for the family may not attract so many emotions, especially if everything is in order with him, and his brother or sister is constantly bullying or harming, but you can be sure that caresses, tender attention and health care he will get more. The ardent emotional love of the mother for the child, as well as her mental attachment to him (“I never thought of anything but him”) in many cases is accompanied by an extremely poor ethereal diet - and the child dies almost like in an orphanage. In general, the mother is first of all checked in ethereal meditations with the child, and they begin at the moment of his conception. However, the ethereal exchanges of a mother with an unborn baby (the author's pen refuses to write "fetus") is a topic for a separate study, but early childhood deserves special mention.

The first months after the birth of an infant is essentially an ongoing ethereal meditation between him and his mother, even if she is not breastfeeding him. Unfortunately, the modern system of obstetrics severely disrupts the etheric and astral contact between mother and child, which develops during pregnancy: a child born in a foreign environment (air) is received by an outsider (obstetrician), whose rough scissors cut not only the physical, but also more subtle aspects of the umbilical cord, and besides, the newborn in many cases is taken to another room for several days - for him to another universe, potentially hostile, where he remains without his usual protection. Therefore, even with breastfeeding, it turns out to be difficult to achieve an adequate ethereal connection with the mother, in which, for example, there is no problem for her to understand why the baby is crying: he wants to eat, drink, is cold, his tummy hurts, the diaper is wet, he just misses and needs affection. A vicious astral-etheric circle arises, completely separating the mother from the baby: ethereal insensitivity leads to negative emotions associated with the mother’s insecurity in herself and the child (for example, the fear of not fulfilling her main duties and losing the child, so small and helpless), which, in in turn, sharply worsen the etheric contact.

If it is nevertheless possible to establish it, then the mother does not have problems typical for the first year: when and how to start complementary foods, when to wean, etc. - such ethereal information comes to her through a direct channel and is completely distinct. I must say that a normal healthy baby is not a vampire at all - he gives his mother no less ethereal energy than he requires from her in the form of milk, regular diaper changes and other attention - but his the ethereal flow (which, by the way, also carries certain information, for example, regulates the chemical composition and amount of mother's milk) must be perceived, and not fenced off from it, and this also requires some skill. This is mainly why second children, as a rule, are given to parents easier than first-born - mom learns get full pleasure(read - astral-etheric flow) from the baby, and not so much to be afraid of him and his condition as to rejoice in them. Pathology occurs where adult problems and other people's karmic knots are projected onto the baby. Unwanted children, "targeted" children (that is, those born for one purpose or another, say, to keep their father or receive benefits), as well as children conceived and born as a result of the concerted efforts of large teams of gynecologists and resuscitators often have strong congenital ethereal and other deformities, and as a result of this, are seriously ill until they get rid of the parental curse; if the latter has a significant effect on higher bodies, then the general fate of a person can be very difficult.

As children grow up, their need for mother's ethereal energy changes, moving into the spheres of more subtle caresses and signs of attention, but the general need for ethereal support remains in force for a long time, although its forms and types of energy flows change. The ability to move, wear beautiful clothes, cosmetics and jewelry are inextricably linked with each other and the ability to perceive ethereal radiation from another person, as well as engage in ethereal meditation with him when it arises. The ability to lend a hand and lean on it, to walk side by side so that it is convenient for both, to smile warmly in time and break the painful silence - all this is an ethereal culture, and this is what parents should teach their growing offspring, who want their children to have less in life. unsolvable problems - from sexual to their own parental.

Book. Writers gravitate toward the ethereal plane, who do not want to stray far from the physiological "soil" of their characters' existence, and they, sparing no paper, describe the physiological and bodily sensations of the characters, primarily hunger, satiety, hangover, heat, cold, fever and etc. Few people know how to do it with talent, and the classical writers of the 19th century - Tolstoy, Gogol, Balzac, being realists in their spirit, nevertheless did not pay attention to the ethereal plane, confining themselves to the physical and astral. In the 20th century, especially under the influence of naturalism and feminism, physiological sensations became the object of closer attention of writers, but in general the corresponding descriptions refer to the most primitive bodily sensations - in particular, because the literary language does not have in its stock of words describing details and subtleties of the ethereal life of the body.

2. Human etheric body

The next body that you should definitely pay attention to is the etheric body. The etheric body is more subtle, not very tactile, not very visible, but you can do one very simple exercise. The palms are rubbed, and, having connected the tips of the fingers, you begin to spread them. And you see how such translucent tapering threads begin to stretch between the fingers. They seem to be plump at the edges, and narrow slightly towards the center. Or just look at your palm and see that around it there are energy contours around the fingers. Yes, that's how transparent vibration of air is.

For example, go for a walk with your loved one and say: “Here, stand up, please, right there somewhere against the background of the moon, so that it can be seen, well, so that a small backlight can be seen. Preferably in the dark, but with a little backlight. And you begin to look at it in a state of focused vision, and you begin to see that a contour appears around it. Moreover, depending on what happened to the person before you started looking at him, you will see that somewhere there is a lot of contour, somewhere there is little contour.

For example, those who are in an evil state, well, or just had a fight, are still boiling - they have a powerful energy pillow in the abdomen. Those who are in love are in the region of the heart. You have probably read about the chakras, so they are simply diagnosed.

So let's get back to the etheric body. It is the human energy body. The amount of energy of a person's body clearly depends on his etheric body.. If the etheric body is weakened, then the person is like this - ummm ... "I am a pale spirochete, I have no strength for anything, I can only sit and watch TV, giving it my last strength."

The etheric body reacts perfectly to our thoughts, to our attitudes, to our emotions. And it is controlled by the power of thought, very strongly. It is very easy to pump it up, it is easily pumped up by ... Let's suppose how you can pump up the etheric body: breathing - yes, yoga - yes, sports - yes, sleep, physical exercises, imagination, meditation - yes, contrast shower - yes, solar energy - Yes.

The etheric body is very sensitive to thoughts. And very often we create diseases for ourselves.. Yes, I must say about illnesses that they rarely occur at the bodily level. Only if you and I somehow accidentally poisoned or irradiated this lovely body. More often diseases start from higher levels, and they simply fall to lower levels.. Probably, it is necessary now to say about all the levels at once, in order to understand in general what it is about. The lower level is the bodily level, the highest level is ethereal, even higher is the emotional level, the so-called astral layer, even higher is the mental layer, even higher is the causal layer.

The worst option is a disease that starts at the causal level, descends further into thoughts, further descends into emotions, further descends into energy, and then is realized in the body. The body is useless. Because it is necessary to correct any disease at the level at which it arose. If we treat the level below - it has no reasonable justification. This is nothing more than supportive therapy, but not a cure. I hope that this question does not cause any discrepancies. There is a stream of life. There is such a thing as the flow of life. This is a set of laws that exist on the various planes of existence that are available to man. And when a person begins not to comply with the laws of these planes of existence, the laws begin to adjust him a little to suit themselves. As if hinting to him that it would be nice to follow the laws.

Modern science has come to the conclusion that all changes that occur in the muscles, cells or nerves of a living organism are accompanied by electrical phenomena. Whenever electrical phenomena occur, there must be ether; and indeed, the human body is completely penetrated ether: not a single particle of physical matter comes into contact with another, all particles are surrounded by ether. etheric body, or etheric double, of a person consists of particles of ether, which penetrates all solid, liquid and gaseous particles of the physical body, enveloping each particle with ethereal matter and representing, in general, a perfect duplicate of the dense body.

For the clairvoyant, the etheric body is clearly visible, and even experimental science is already beginning to study it; Thus, in the interesting work of Dr. Pogorelsky "Electrophotosthenes and Enertography as proof of the existence of physiological polar energy, or the so-called animal magnetism, and their significance for medicine" (St. Petersburg, 1899), one can find a reproduction of a number of photographic images, in which One can clearly see both some of the elements that make up the human etheric organism and its radiations. The French doctors Luis and Baradyuk and a number of other investigators, such as Durville, Rocha, Narkevich, Iodko, and many others, have worked hard on the study of the etheric body and its radiations.

etheric body can be considered both as an architect who creates and maintains a connection between the physical particles of the body, who distributes and combines physical molecules into certain combinations, and as a conductor of life force, prana.

One of the functions of the etheric part of the spleen is to receive solar energy ( prana), which is poured into the atmosphere around us; the colorless particles of prana introduced into the human body take on a beautiful pink color and, like blood balls, run through all the arteries and veins, as well as along the nerve plexuses. That this flow of prana is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system may be deduced from the fact that when it is artificially delayed, a complete cessation of sensation is obtained. By means of magnetic passes it is possible to achieve a complete stupor of that part of the body on which the action of the magnetizer is directed; this numbness is of the same nature as with impaired blood circulation, for example, with freezing; but those who deal with the effects of magnetic currents know that it is not the blood circulation that is disturbed, but the influx of vitality, or prana: the nerves remain completely untouched, but they cease to serve as a transmission apparatus, since the prana running through them has become dependent on the consciousness of the magnetizer.

To people who have already developed a more subtle inner vision, the etheric body appears grayish-violet; short, pale bluish rays emanate from it in all directions, the so-called aura of health. By the nature of this aura, one can judge the state of human health: in a healthy person, the rays are all perpendicular to the surface of the body and parallel to each other; in the patient, they seem to fall down and are confused, especially in that area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe body that is affected by the disease. These radiations are not only indicators of good or bad health, but also a means of protection. Since these rays represent - next to purely physical secretions (for example, salts) - currents of excess vital force flowing from the body, they, at normal intensity, repel invisible disease-causing agents from the surface of the body, resembling a wheel that, with its movement, scatters those that adhere to him particles.

Thus, a healthy aura protects a person from contagious diseases. When the body is exhausted and the strength of the current is weakened, germs of bacteria penetrate freely into the body and cause various diseases. It should be added to this that sometimes a weak organism, deprived of an abundant influx of prana, unconsciously acts like a sponge, absorbing the excess prana of a healthy person, and sometimes with such energy that it causes temporary exhaustion in a completely healthy person.

During sleep, the person himself, or his immortal beginning, is removed from the physical organism, giving him the opportunity to restore the expended forces, and only the physical body with its etheric double remains in bed. Both of them are thus left without their master and master, and are exposed to such influences as are best suited to the inclinations of the sleeping man. Currents thought-images, created by the person himself in the waking state, as well as thought-images of the surrounding people, rush through the physical and etheric brain of the sleeping person, mixing with the automatic repetitions of vibrations that arose in his brain during the day, and all this produces those confused and torn dreams that are so common at night. These distorted dreams are very instructive; they show the true activity of the physical brain at a time when it is completely left to its own powers. He is only able to repeat scattered fragments of his former vibrations without internal connection and order, connecting them at random, no matter whether they make sense or not, being content with the kaleidoscope of visions flashing before him.

When one reflects on this phenomenon, it becomes clear that the physical and ethereal brain is nothing more than an instrument of thought, and not its creator, which is absent during sleep.

At the moment of death, the immortal essence of a person is removed from the physical body in the same way as during sleep, but with the difference that at the same time it carries along the etheric body, which is released from its dense counterpart and makes further life impossible for the latter. After some time, usually 36 hours after death, a person throws off himself and the ethereal double, continuing to live in his astral body, and the ethereal double remains close to the corpse he has abandoned and also begins to decompose. Not infrequently, friends and relatives of the deceased see this double, since a strong tension of the nervous system makes it more subtly receptive and this is enough to see the detached etheric double. All the stories of ghosts in cemeteries are based on this, where shocked people can actually see ethereal bodies over the graves of the dead.

In a normal person, this branch etheric body from the physical occurs only after death, but in mediumistic people a partial release of the etheric body can occur even during life, a phenomenon extremely harmful to the health of the medium, since it always causes nervous disorders of a different nature. Any partial release of the etheric body (all of which cannot be released without causing death to a person) plunges the physical body into a lethargic and even cataleptic state, followed by an extremely strong exhaustion of the medium. Most séance phenomena are due to other causes, but some mediums, such as Eglinton and Mrs. Esperance, have had this dangerous property of the etheric body. All the witnesses who saw these mediums at the time of the release of the etheric body assert that the consequence of such release was each time a reduction, a shrinking of the physical body.

Speaking of the physical body, we mentioned prana. Ancient wisdom teaches that the entire Universe with all its worlds, people, animals, plants, minerals and atoms is immersed in the great ocean of Life, eternal and unchanging. The ancient Hindus called this great ocean of Life Jiva and asserted that the entire Universe is only the manifested Jiva, which has become objective, closed in limited forms. They taught that every organism, from the smallest molecule to the greatest planet, appropriates to itself a particle of the Jiva or universal Life, and this particle becomes its own life. Imagine a living sponge submerged in the water of the ocean, which surrounds and soaks it all. Ocean water circulates throughout the sponge, filling every pore, and we can imagine both the whole ocean and that part of it that has penetrated the sponge if we mentally separate the part from the whole and take both separately. Each organism can be compared to such a sponge, immersed in the ocean of the Jiva and containing a particle of this ocean, which has become its "breath of life."

In Theosophy, this particle of universal Life contained in man is called prana and, together with the etheric body, constitutes the second principle of the human organism. What is called Nephesh in the Hebrew Scriptures, "the breath of life", blown into the nostrils of Adam, is not prana alone, but prana in conjunction with the third, astral, principle of man, the principle of passion and desire. These two principles together make up what in esotericism is called the "Sparks of Life."

The Secret Doctrine says that the lowest manifestation of prana has as its conductors the infinitely small builders of the human physical organism. Science suspects their existence, but sees in them only casual visitors to the human body, the source of various diseases. The occultist, who recognizes the same life in every atom, and in air, and in fire, and in water, asserts that our whole body consists of such "infinitesimal lives." The highest form of prana is called in occultism "fiery lives"; it can be called the "creative energy of life", it is she who directs and directs the infinitely small builders of our body.

According to the book " Man and his visible and invisible composition".
