In my last post, I described my experience of having my energy channels open and some of the phenomena you might experience.
In this piece, I wanted to take the opportunity to describe more broadly some of the things I’ve learned about the energy body and how to work with it.
Let me preface all this by saying 4-5 years ago I would have been highly skeptical of everything I’m about to say. But now my view is that these notions seemed more aligned to a deeper truth than most of the popular things I see and read about our bodies and nature of reality.
All Things Are Energy
For most of history, humans have thought that everything including this physical world was made of matter.
The latest science suggests that all things, including matter and energy, are ultimately made up of energy. This idea is based on the principles of modern physics, specifically the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. So it’s not that the world we see doesn’t contain matter. It’s just that there is a more fundamental substrate of reality.
According to the theory of relativity, matter and energy are fundamentally interchangeable. This means that energy can be converted into matter and vice versa. For example, nuclear reactions involve the conversion of matter into energy, while particle collisions can create new particles from energy.
Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, describes the behavior of subatomic particles and their interactions with energy fields. According to this theory, all matter and energy exist as waves of probability, rather than discrete particles. This means that even seemingly solid objects, like a table or a rock, are actually made up of energy fields.
Furthermore, recent research has also shown that the universe is composed of dark matter and dark energy, which are forms of energy that cannot be directly detected or observed. These mysterious substances are thought to make up the majority of the universe's mass and energy, and their existence provides further evidence that all things are fundamentally made up of energy.
So What Does This Mean For You!?
Everything that you interact with at the most fundamental level is energy. Thoughts are energy. Emotions are energy. Information in the form of ideas and insights are energy. The coffee you drank this morning is energy. And YOU as the conscious awareness experiencing it all are energy.
Matter experienced on this physical plane is simply a denser form of energy than something like a thought or emotion. Therefore, until you work on your perceptual faculties which I outline below, you will mostly be limited to experiencing matter vs. more refined energies.
For a long time, it’s been hard for science worshipers to grasp the concept of the energy body. This is because they have no direct experience with it nor do we have widely available instruments to measure them. The concept opposes everything they’ve been taught and unless someone has been reading up on the bleeding edge of physics, they probably just bought into the old narrative, maybe even eschewing things that they don’t have access to.
This scenario probably isn’t that different than when someone first came out and said everything is made up of these little things called atoms that we can’t see. Bullshit, we can’t see them! I imagine the initial atom advocates were considered crazy until things like microscopes were not only invented but widely distributed and experienced.
Today we are on the precipice of what mystics have been saying for ages and modern science converging. Though this doesn’t necessarily mean you will start to experience the energy body directly, it doesn’t serve you to remain in ignorance. I think the most profitable thing to do would be to educate yourself and begin to experiment with different access points to achieve greater perceptual abilities which can result in greater health, insight, and wisdom.
As this literacy increases, we will see more interest in all the modalities and agents which impact energy such as acupuncture, sound healing, Qigong, EMF awareness, and more!
We are electric beings and it’s about time we start acting like it.
What Is The Energy Body
The precise details of the energy body are still a mystery to me. People and books out there claim to describe it in detail, but the deeper I go with all this stuff, the more I recognize that everyone is just sharing expressions of their own subjective experience which often aren’t universal nor in alignment with mine.
Therefore, I consume information on the topic from time to time while maintaining an incredibly open mind. In this way, I empathize with everyone who has not experienced the energy body as I too base my daily activities on what is accessible to me. I can’t bi-locate nor do I spend all day in non-dual bliss consciousness. But I love reading about these potentials and find them inspiring vs. threatening to my existing paradigm. I don’t see the achievement of these siddhis as a goal, but I welcome their emergence if that’s meant to happen.
My predominant direct experiences with energy fall into two broad categories:
sensations in my body (pulsing and subtle)
information transmissions through a broader field
Does the energy body look like an actual body in the pictures we see? I’m not sure.
In my own experience, I have seen the auras surrounding people probably around 10 times for a period of 30 minutes to an hour and then it went away. The only consistent thing about these experiences is that they occurred when I was in a state of intense presence.
I like to think of the energy body more as a composite of all the energy from our consciousness experience. The specific shape of it - I don’t know!
The major feature I associate with the energy body are emotions which are felt as sensations. These can be everything from tingly champagne feelings to more abrupt pains and tightness with everything in between.
In my experience, sometimes the energy sensation expresses spontaneously in the body and then is followed by an emotion. Other times something arising in the mind causing an emotion to pop up which then instigates the energy movement. So in terms of sequencing, it seems to go both ways which aligns with Einstein’s theory of relativity.
