All life is energy and fitting neatly into the physical system is the energy counterpart. This mirrors the physical body on a non – physical plane.

The aura is the extension of the energy counterpart. It protrudes about 3cm around the physical body when it is healthy and can disappear when not healthy.

The chakras are among the most important parts of the energy component. Charkas are Gateways to Consciousness. They are spinning vortexes.

The seven major charkas run in line with the spine and the individual charkas are over certain glands in the endocrine system. The endocrine works in conjunction with the nervous system to regulate the body’s metabolic activities.

They release chemical messengers called hormones into the blood stream which help maintain a balance of the body’s chemistry and the growth / development. The charka’s function is to draw in life force and stimulate the gland’s hormonal output.

When the body is healthy these chakras spin at great speed. When the body is sick or unhealthy the chakras begin to slow down, drawing in the life force at a slower rate and setting up a vicious cycle.

When our energy becomes congested in our body it affects the major organs, which are being prevented from pulsating.

This makes the cells and tissues suffer and negative pressure builds up, this affects the energy counterpart and the aura.

We are required to try to maintain a positive state to remain healthy. A healthy body, mind and spirit.
