The Chakra System
|
|
|
|
The chart below explains how the chakras relate to the functioning of the body. It shows how and where they spin, and the energy fields that surround the physical body.
- The first energy field that surrounds the physical body is called the "Etheric" body. Its location is 0.25 - 2" away from the skin.
- The second energy field is the "Emotional" body. Its location is about 1 -3" from the physical body. It appears as clouds of rainbow colours in a continual fluid motion.
- The third energy field is the "Mental" body. It extends from 3 - 8" from the body representing mental ideas or thoughts.
- The fourth energy field is the "Spiritual" body. It is made up of four or more layers which help us relate to higher spiritual dimensions. These fields extend to about 24" or more. In very spiritually evolved persons, the aura can extend further.
