About the Human Energy Field

-- NadisChakrasLayers Subtle bodies --

The "aura" or "human energy field" is a field of energy which surrounds and penetrates the body.  The aura underlies and supports the functioning of the body.   Contained within the aura are the energetic aspects of every structure and function of the body, as well as everything that we experience (physical sensations, thoughts, feelings, states of consciousness, etc.) 

Energy flows through the energy field through fine channels, or nadis, which are themselves composed of energy.  Where many nadis cross, energy centers (or "chakras") are formed.  As major "hubs" of energy distribution, the chakras direct the energy which vitalizes the nerves and glands and ultimately all of the structures of the body.  Models of the energy field describe layers or subtle energy bodies in its structure.

It is through the energy field that we are connected with everyone and everything else that exists.  Some discussions of the energy field involve energies associated with the body which have actually been measured (see Oschman, James L., Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis).  Our discussion involves aspects of the energy field which are more subtle, most of which have not been detected by scientific instruments. 

HOW DO WE KNOW THE HUMAN ENERGY FIELD EXISTS?

Knowledge of the human energy field comes from ancient texts and metaphysical literature, as well as what is observed through "high sense perception".  High sense perception is a term coined by Barbara Brennan to refer to the phenomena of "clairvoyance" -- the ability to see that which lies beyond the reach of physical sight.  The human energy field can be perceived in a number of different ways by use of what could be considered to be more subtle aspects of the 5 senses.  Clairvoyance or "subtle sight" is only one way.  People who are "sensitive" to the energy field may also hear it (clairaudience), sense it kinesthetically (clairsentience) or even have experiences of subtle smell and taste.  Different people sense it in different ways, although some feel that everyone is capable of developing all types of subtle sense perception.  It is also possible to have knowledge of the state of the energy field through use of intuition -- a kind of "knowingness". 

MANY POSSIBLE MODELS

Those who are able to perceive the aura have attempted to describe it through models which represent the structure of the aura.  Not everyone perceives the aura in the same way, hence there are a variety of different models of the human energy field.  These models all have some value, but are by no means the only way of describing the aura.  Models which are three-dimensional are limited in their ability to capture the complexity and subtlety of the phenomena they attempt to describe. 

It is important to remember that these are only "models" -- attempts to create three dimensional representations of subtle patterns of energy.  Just as atomic and sub-atomic particles do not have the well-defined structures and boundaries of the body, the "subtle energy bodies" of the aura are not like the well-defined structures of the physical body.  Instead they are patterns of energy which are dynamic, fluid and interpenetrating.  The subtler the energy which is being sensed, the less "localized" it is, and thus the more difficult to describe by a three dimensional model

Why Models Differ
There are many ways of accounting for the differences in descriptions of the human energy field.  Certainly the varying capacities of the observers, and the particular frequencies of energy and structures they are capable of perceiving plays a major role.  Auras may also differ widely from individual to individual depending on their particular "energetic makeup" and state of development.  The aura of one person may be very different from that of another.  Some sources assert that human beings are evolving and that this is reflected in development of the aura.  In addition, different people might describe the same phenomena with different models. 

Healers May Need to Create Their Own Models
For those who are developing the capacity to sense energy, it is important to stay open to what is being experienced independent of existing models.  Healers may work with  models which are quite unique, but work well in terms of their healing style. Models also have a value in healer's attempts to communicate with clients about the nature of the healing taking place.
