About the Human Energy Field
-- Nadis,
Chakras,
Layers,
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.
