ENERGETICS: AURIC FIELD + FOUR BODIES
Understanding How to Work with Your Energy
Our body is actually made up of four distinct parts… physical, emotional, mental, spiritual—and while three of them seem intangible and ephemeral, they do have a physical presence. These are fields around your material body…in fact, a lot of extra physical weight is actually in the emotional body (subconscious) like the physical expands to take up the space allotted to the emotional field.
Each body should be balanced equally to create the whole. This is path to health, wellness, and understanding our true being. The bodies are masculine (physical, mental), and feminine (emotional, spiritual), which if you subscribe to so above then so below so within so without…. Why we need to balance all of them and the world is also doing the same. The world is calling the feminine back in to love, heal, and avoid war and violence.
“Our culture has had an over emphasis on the masculine or patriarchal aspect of things—even religion has been presented as patriarchal in our society.” Religion is not the same as the spiritual body of our being. When there is over-expression in the masculine, it involves the physical or mental side of things… the doing and accomplishing side of the energy is yang and also the linear parts of our life. It’s a very black and white way of thinking that focuses on all things concrete or controllable. The world is shifting to bring in more of the feminine energetics—the emotional and spiritual side of our existence is being pulled forward. The feminine is what synthesizes and embodies our experience and is calling us into being mindful and more conscious. The ultimate goal is to be balanced in all four bodies.
Subtle Body Energies and Boundaries
You have the ability to govern what enters your realm during intuitive practices. By establishing intentions and fostering healthy boundaries, you can ensure that energies with lower vibrations don't enter your energy field. These boundaries not only safeguard you and your energy but also create an atmosphere where you can feel secure enough to open up and trust your intuition, leading to an increase in intuitive insights.
Before beginning intuitive work, define a clear intention and establish healthy boundaries for yourself. Find grounding within yourself and the envelop yourself with a luminous aura of white light, infused with your intent. Imagine a bubble of energy around me, like a supportive force field, and say, "I only allow the highest love in and the highest live out.”

The nervous system, hormones, water, tears, and water absorption (bloating or holding on and not letting go, scarcity, and controlling things too much). Many think that the emotional body extends a beyond the body. How calm or rough the waters are doing emotionally is represented by how in our thoughts and our dream state.
Where the experience of everything and it’s integration and the bridge between the physical and the mental bodies. It involves our feelings and relationship the world we love in. (How what we experience is synthesized and interpreted). Our connections between the mental-emotional body leads to the experience of different interpretations of events. If the bodies are unbalanced, those situations can be greatly misread and misunderstood or processed through narratives of triggers and the ego. When balanced, it represents a securely attached and centered or neutral response from the heart space and intuition.
When the emotional body is balanced: Inclusive, empathic, honest, open, neutral toward triggers, and generous with others. There is a desire to give without transactional feelings. Hormones, adrenals, blood sugar, and nervous system is more regulated. Even the heart beat and blood pressure are balanced. The body is experiencing inflammation or dehydration.
Under-balanced: Lack of trust, emotional intelligence, and very little consciousness or ability to read the room or understand people. Overrun with fear, neuroses, and less empathy for the experience of others because of preoccupation with the self. This can manifest physically as holding water in the limbs, joints, and face (especially from hormone imbalance), dehydration or bloating, inflexibility, and joint stiffness. Lack of sleep from emotional stress presents similar symptoms.
Mentally an under-balance may manifest as self-doubt, projection, and comparison, which causes insomnia and increases the physical symptoms of imbalance. Ultimately, it means that we are not able to be rational, or calm ourselves through mindfully controlling our breathing and attention.
Over-balanced: Mood shifts quickly to aggressiveness, irrationality, irritation, depression, overly anxious, feelings of overwhelm when relationships or situations come to an end. This may manifest as weight gain and too much water/inflammation in the aura and system, the body behaves like a sponge. Alternately, if someone over-fires their nervous system, one can dry out the emotional body, which also manifests as being under-weight, dehydrated, or dissociated. Hormones are key to our health. The heart might feel heavy and the menstrual cycle might be heavy as well. The throat may also feel closed, which can adversely affect the hormones.
How to bring the emotional into balance: Release of emotion, tension, stress, and anxiety through ways that are productive and helpful. The this is done this will create clear flow of the emotional stream. Depending on the individual this may require mindfulness, meditation, dance, cardio, laughing during a comedy, or breath work. Ultimately, the emotional body can be brought into balance when we learn how to balance our hormones. Restorative and Hatha yoga, sauna, light detoxing or fasting (with adrenal and liver support), more touch and intimacy are key. Forgiveness and letting go are important. Learning the value of emotional intelligence and not only mental intelligence is central to empathetic and adrenal wellness.

Our thoughts, attitudes, judgments, and prejudices are the Mental Body. It is also how we perceive our worth and value in the world informed by early mirroring and what is reinforced. Some believe it is about a foot out in diameter from the physical body, some feel it is inches.
The intellectual in all things including analytical thought, how we process information, how we learn in school, and how we use our words. Also includes focus, clarity, direction, and contributions to creation and society. It is a key element in thoughts becoming reality.
When the mental body is balanced: Proactive problem solving, concise communication, innovations coming into fruition with clarity and ease, and the ability to solve emotional or physical issues in a direct and supportive way. There’s very little waste, nonsense, or going around in circles. Instead, a balanced mental body offers direction that points true north (and benefits everyone).
Quality of someone under-balanced toward mental: Confusion, brain fog, ideas lost quickly, lethargy, lack of purpose, neuroses, doubt, a lack of work ethic, feelings of low esteem and low worth. Physically, it manifests as a lack of a menstrual period and little self-care.
Qualities of someone over-balanced toward mental: Ego-centric, excessively driven, sociopathic, narcissistic, and having little or no empathy especially when it comes to work or success. In a less extreme way, it’s doing too much or frequently being on overdrive. This manifests physically in headaches and jaw aches.
How to bring the mental into balance: Kundalini yoga, moderate cardio, talk therapy with an emotionally intelligent leader, and being in touch with emotions and spirituality for balance. The type of person living mostly in the mental body tends to overthink and overdrive, and doesn’t let go of emotional strife or forgive easily or often. They might need to re-root (i.e., work through old emotional issues from the first years of life) and often need a mental release, which most frequently comes from strong emotional support or handing the reins over to a mentor who can lead them through positive thought mantras or positive stress releasing actions.

The brain, the organs, skin and everything in between. We generally are able to track all that is happening in our physical body. The signs are visible or recognizable. The culture of western medicine uses the body to track the experience of the body through pain and discomfort and joy or contentment. Our physical experience in the world, our physiology, our ability to heal.
When the physical body is balanced: Open, flexible, alive, our vitamin and mineral elements should would be balanced and pain-free, and have a balanced ph.
Under-balanced: rapid aging, loss of elasticity, organ function is disrupted, issues with absorption and elimination, and a sense of tightness, heaviness, and stress in the body.
Over-balanced: Over focus on physical strength, beauty, and anti-aging. A doubt that the body can heal itself, and an over-reliance on outer support (makeup, beauty processes, drugs, surgeries, and injections) to maintain the body’s radiance and youth back. Often a sense of bypassing elements of nature (whole food, water, air quality, quiet, physical touch, uninhibited sexual experience, movement) for more focus on more instant gratification and erasing of time.
How to bring the physical into balance: Simple movements and slow, balanced repetitive sequences, meditation, walking, massage, barefoot or bare hand earth play (dirt, water, soil, sand), yoga, stretching, and weight bearing exercises that let you feel the strength in your own body and the union of all things physical.

What it is: Connection to all things, including the earth/self, to what we call God, the universe, the beyond, the divine, or higher self. This provides protection, union, help, and guidance from an outside source as well as from those who have passed on. It connects us to all that is. Many do not understand or acknowledge this aspect exists. It has little to do with what we believe culturally when it comes to religion or spirits—it is more the element that no one and no situation stands alone, that there is no one fault, that we are all connected, and that it always takes more than one body to create all that exists in life. It is the most outside ring in our aura or energetic field.
What it represents: The unity of all living things, including the union between our soul, life experience, and destiny. This is not about going to church. In fact, it has little to do with religion.
When balanced: Calm, fearless, highly creative, and operating without limits—paired with the fortitude and support to create action from ideas. Along with this comes the acknowledgement that there’s a higher force guiding and protecting the project, and that there is something bigger at play than you. The spiritual body represents the synthesis and balance of the other three—it is very similar to the idea that we are greater than the sum of our parts.
Quality of someone under-balanced toward spiritual: Disconnected from the understanding that we are all one and feeling or thinking that we can do things on our own or alone. That we are not co-creating our existence, that we are victims of fate (or the health care system, the government, or the media) and most often (or entirely) dismissive of listening to the gut. This person generally separates from being an active or conscious member of community or society, and feels deserving and expectant of others’ energy or time. They also feel left out, or like they have not been seen or heard. There’s also a tendency to put a high emphasis on how things look or how they appear instead of focusing on transparency and honest heart communication. There’s also a heavy focus and over-reliance on doing, controlling, and the grasping of an exterior reference or relationship.
Quality of someone over-balanced toward spiritual: Head in the clouds, not turning ideas into reality, a false god complex, a lack of unity between action and behavior, a lack of connection to interpersonal responsibilities (relationships, physical health and wealth, respecting other people’s bodies, paying bills, debts). There is generally a feeling of entitlement and being overly deserving.
How to bring the spiritual into balance: Meditation, meditation, meditation. Breath work. Gratitude, humbleness, generosity and the act of giving—seeing others as you see (or wish to see) yourself, and acting accordingly.
Also it’s key to connect personal gain with universal oneness, and to understand that heaven is within, that you are always supported and no one physically holds your key to ultimate, consistent joy.
