The subtle body

 

A subtle body is a philosophical knowledge from many esoteric and religious traditions to understand the non-physical body in all living beings that influence the mind and its emotions, considered as the vital forces of the soul.

It is the living force of physical body but, influencing consciousness and life experiences that can recall past lives knowledge and is the transmigration of the soul after death.

 The subtle body encompasses the mind, intellect, memory, ego, and vital energies that keep the physical body alive and are central to the concept of individual existence and reincarnation.

The subtle body is considered to be the various energetic layers that make up a human being beyond physicality.

The subtle body has layers of depth that exist of the vital life force/energy, the mental or psychological layer and the sheath of wisdom and intellect, manifesting and controlling all aspects of the physical body.

When those layers are in harmony and interconnected the optimal living occurs as medium for knowledge, teaching, healing and reincarnation. It is considered as the astral body and is central to Yogic, Tantric and Taoist traditions and the base knowledge of Hinduism and Buddhism. Many Christians do not believe in reincarnation not understanding Jesus teaching, that is dominated by the control of the Church.

The cultivating and understanding of the subtle body is therefore a means of understanding to a profound sense of self with psychological and meditative qualities to liberate the mind to its optimum purpose.

With some pondering and meditation it becomes possible to influence the energies of the physical and subtle bodies as a means of connecting with the higher Self through the causal body.

As awareness of subtle body develops, one moves closer to understanding of the true Self known as Atman and establishes a connection with universal energy to God.

The subtle vital life force energy exists along pathways known as nadis in the spine, which converge as energy centers called chakras.

Any imbalance within those chakras will cause physical and mental discomfort, illness and disease.

Great healers use the subtle body chakras as a map of the central nervous system function and apply the needed focus on those energy fields.

Vedic Astrology and the birth chart are the map of the astral body and the study of once essential nature that is in constant change and influences of many layers of time.

Upadhis is a term from the Vedanta philosophy and means the Lord of senses which signifies the equilibrium of the mind and once nature to perceive. It works similar to emotional intelligence which is very close to some and very far for others.

As long one is bound by Upadhis and once male or female attitudes, one cannot neglect the pertaining duties to once caste or position in society.

The human cross body and its subtle body has to become one to cultivate once true devotion in the image of God.

Only by the power of discrimination as living soul and the acknowledgment of masculine and feminine energies, the chakras and their equality of balance become the natural medium.
