THE HUMAN BODY IS ACTUALLY FIVE: RECOGNIZING THE SUBTLE BODIES


There is so much more to life than what meets the eye. For many years I thought we only had a physical body. Then in college I read "Star Signs" by Linda Goodman and learned we also have an astral body that surrounds us. Currently I'm reading a book called "The Subtle Energy Body: The Complete Guide" by Maureen Lockhart and now I'm being shown that we in fact have five bodies; our physical vessels and four layers of surrounding bodies of light. Total, each of us have five bodies or what the Hindu's call kosas or koshas. These layers or sheaths are our connection to the divine creator. The more we tap into these layers via meditative and yogic exercise - the more enlightened we become.

Your five bodies are:
1. Physical body
2. Energy body
3. Emotional body
4. Wisdom body
5. Bliss body

The physical body is the first layer and is very dense, so it's no surprise that because if its density, it can be a challenging task to witness the other four bodies that are with us all our lives and beyond, just waiting for us to tap into the depths of our signature and blissful energy. I used to think that my higher self was "out there" somewhere but now I understand that my higher self illuminates right in my auric field. So you see, there is more to you than the human eye can visually detect (except for those who vibrate high enough to see it) and the visual obstruction eludes us from the true expansiveness of our being. The material world is but one small aspect in the grand scheme of things.

This blog is not intended to break down the five layers (although I plan to do that at a later date) but to bring to light to their very existence. I'm sure there are many people out there just like me who didn't know how intricately and precisely we were designed. For me, learning about this makes me want to enter the gates of my bliss body so I can experience what they call pure joy. That's got to be better than any drug I've ever had!

The kingdom of heaven is in our energy field waiting for us to take the throne. We should study all of the five bodies and reach beyond the limitations we have lazily put in our minds. The sky truly is the limit as we ascend to euphoria.

Be on the look out for more blogs on the subtle bodies.

Namaste
