So, what exactly is the energy body and how does it work? There has been a lot written about this phenomena and although it has yet to be fully corroborated by science and the medical world, it is believed in esoteric teachings that it is an integral part of a human’s being-ness and maintaining a healthy energy body enables a person to be free from physical and emotional ailments.

The energy body is basically energy which surrounds the physical body. It is moulded around the physical body and therefore is a similar shape to the person it is part of. It has a number of names: aura, etheric double, doppelganger and even when a person dies, for a period of time, the energy body remains and can appear as a fluidic ghost like apparition. Which is why ‘haunted sightings’ around cemeteries are so prevalent.

As everything on the planet is made up of energy, from the table leg to the atmosphere, just vibrating at a different level, it stands to reason that our own energy body is closely connected to the planet and the elements that are a part of Earth’s basic composition.

That being the case, the energy body is dependent on these elements of nature. As a human being we are utterly dependent on nature, indeed, without the ‘Earth’ and the food she provides, we would have no physical existence. Going a little deeper, it could be said that the Laws of Nature rule our existence. There is no man-made structure that can stop a tsunami, earthquake or volcano. If the planet chooses to erupt - we, as humans, have to accept the inevitable.
