The latest scientific evidence highlights that all living things including human beings have a colourful and constantly vibrating energy field within and around them, also known as aura. It is visible to energy sensitive people and to some extent it can be captured by the Kirlian photography.
The Human Energy Field has an egg-like shape and on average, emanates from the physical body approximately 60-80cm outwards. It creates an energetic boundary around the body that contains us and psychologists often describe it as our ‘personal space’.
This energetic boundry has a certain capacity and directly translates into the amount of energy transactions we can cope with in life. A person with a strong and vibrant energy field has much greater capacity for life and much more energy resources than a person with a weak and contained auric field.
This field is electro-magnetic in nature and consists of different layers that become subtler and finer as we move out of the body. Each layer has a different purpose and its unique frequency band.
The human energy field also has a main channel which runs vertically through the centre of the body. The main energy centres, often called chakras, which transmit and receive energy from our life transactions emanate from the central channel.
Our aura has two key sources of fresh energy supply- from the Earth below the feet as well as from the sky through the crown chakra above the head. These two places ensure continuous energy supply to the energy field and need to be open so it can function optimally. If the energy flows from the ground or sky are restricted for some reason, people will start drawing their energetic resources from other people they encounter. For this reason some people we engage with are just draining to be with as they quite literally consume our energy resources.
The field is a living part of ourselves that nourishes the physical body and also contains all our life experience- our feelings, thoughts, actions and desires. It is dynamic, constantly expanding and contracting with every energy transaction we have every minute, with every single thought or feeling we experience. Since we are made up of energy, we are constantly participating in energy exchange with the external world and other people. So, when we feel something, that feeling travels from our body through the layers of the energy field and is sensed by people around us at the subtle, energetic level. As part of our daily energy exchange, we also receive and absorb energies from people and places. As a result, we affect each other and are interconnected by this extraordinary and intelligent field of energy.
Since all our energy transactions are stored in our energy field, we need to process them to keep it healthy and balanced. When the flow of energy in our field is strong and balanced, we are healthy and have a positive outlook on life. The field has an incredible capacity to heal itself, if it is given periods of quiet time and stillness to clear the build-up of difficult and non-serving energies.
However, our busy and stressful lives alongside other upsetting and traumatic experiences can slow down the energy flows in our energy field and lead to stagnation, imbalances and eventually blocks which, if not addressed, can manifest as physical illness as well as emotional and mental disturbances. At that stage, we will require help from an experienced energy therapist to clear the energetic imbalances in order to improve well-being, regain balance and return to our true nature.
