The human energy system

"Not only is the universe more complicated than we suppose but it is more complicated that we can suppose." Albert Einstein

Light or energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Light visible to the human eye, occupies that part of the electromagnetic spectrum from a wavelength of 0.000038 cm to 0.000076 cm. There is nothing sacred about light that occupies that part of the electromagnetic spectrum outside of this range, it is just that for practical purposes we cannot see it.

When dispersed by a prism, light is seen to be composed of various colours ranging from red, having the longest wavelength through to orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet having the shortest wavelength. Just beyond the range of human vision at either end of the light spectrum, are the higher frequency colours of ultraviolet and the lower (?) frequency colours of infrared.

It was thought by many around the end of the 19^th century that a medium was necessary for light to travel through, just as sound waves must have a medium. This medium was called the “ether.”

Einstein’s theory of relativity postulates that the speed of light is dependent upon the motion of its source. In layman’s terms this means simply that the wavelength or colour of light is dependent upon the density or vibrational frequency of its source during refraction.

When light enters a glass prism, it’s vibrational frequency is slowed down by the density of the glass. Inside the prism the light is split into different frequencies or colours. Since each frequency or colour has a different wavelength they are each bent at slightly different angles. Those colours with the shorter wavelengths are bent at a greater angle than those colours with longer wavelengths.

Not only do colours have different wavelengths, they also have different temperatures. This was discovered by the scientist William Herschel, in 1800. The difference in the temperature of colour is due to the fact that each colour is vibrating at a different frequency and producing a different wavelength.

This was brought home to me when I was told the following story by a chemistry teacher. She had been a volunteer caring for disabled children. One day, one of the children a little girl aged about twelve, who was born blind, turned to her excitedly and said “ OOOH you are wearing my favourite colour!” My teacher was astonished! She looked at her in amazement. The child could sense the vibrational frequency of the colour she was wearing and knew exactly what it “felt” like. In fact it was her favourite “feeling” but she called it colour as that was how she had learned to interpret it.

Life is a sensory experience! Sometimes when our sense perception is compromised our sensory experience is heightened as in the case of the blind child.

According to the quantum theory of light, developed by Albert Einstein and Max Planck, at the beginning of the 20^th century, light is emitted and absorbed into tiny bundles of energy called quanta. Light quanta or photons as they are sometimes called, provided the first example of particle-wave duality. This is important to what I am building up to, so please bear with me. When interacting with matter, the tiny bundles of light energy, known as photons or quanta, behave like particles. When travelling through space however they behave like waves.

So, what has all this to do with the human energy field and our intuitive experiences?

The physical body is exactly like a glass prism. It absorbs light waves turning them into tiny bundles of energy particles and refracts these tiny bundles of energy particles back into the ether in the form of light waves. We have all met someone we did not like and could not understand why. It is because the tiny bundles of light energy being refracted by their body did not “feel” good when they passed through ours.

Just as a glass prism breaks up white light into separate colours so does the human body break up white light or energy into separate colours through a system known as the chakra system. When white light (energy) enters one of the seven major chakra’s, its vibrational frequency is slowed down by the density of physical matter. Each chakra is responsible for intercepting and transforming energy and refracting it back into the ether as a wavelength or frequency displaying a distinctive colour.

These colours emanating from the body are not seen by the human eye as their frequency wavelength lies outside the normal range of human perception.

We are truly beings of light. Through the medium of a physical body we absorb and transform energy (light) into different frequencies and refract it back into the ether.

For centuries, it has been claimed that all living creatures have a life force or energy (light) body surrounding them. This vital life force, which psychics call the aura, is now known to create order in living systems. This energy is able to influence cellular patterns of growth in both positive and negative directions and it is constantly building and re-building the cellular structure of our bodies. Life-force flows through the body as if it were following an invisible circulatory system, charging every cell in its path. With the help of Kirlian photography, modern science now has empirical proof of its existence and that every living cell is surrounded and nourished by it.

The seven major energy centers in the human body namely the chakras are where the life force, (light or energy whatever you prefer to call it) is transformed, slowing it down to a frequency level where energy sustains and becomes matter, giving us our life experience.

The following information about the chakra system will help you understand how the transformation of energy into matter takes place when creating the human life experience.

The chakras, exist within the energy body interpenetrating the physical body. The energy body can be measured as an electromagnetic force field composed of light or energy. The word chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning “wheel” or “disk” and denotes a point of intersection between energy and matter - or, consciousness and body.

The chakras are where the energy of our emotions and thoughts meet and interact with our physical body. The emotion of love for example related to the fourth chakra is felt in the center of the chest. As the heart chakra opens to receiving love, it fills with the life force. We experience the physical sensation of swelling or bursting with happiness. When our hearts are broken however, a physical pain is felt in the same area, as our heart chakra shuts down repelling energy and losing power as though it were punctured, leaving us feeling powerless and depleted.

Energy entering each chakra is associated with a form of consciousness and we experience this exchange of energy as sight, sound, sensory experience and intuitive knowledge.

Any blockage in the bodies energy system distorts our perception, numbs our feeling and sensory experience and generally dampens our experience of life.

As a human being grows from a baby into adulthood, the chakras develop according to the psychological pattern unfolding in the individual’s life.

Whenever we experience anything unpleasant our natural instinct is to try to block or numb our feelings. This inhibits the natural flow of energy though our system causing blockages. Someone who is continually rejected when trying to give or receive love, will eventually try to stop the energy flow from the fourth or heart chakra resulting in emotional withdrawal and the possibility of the physical manifestation of disease in that area.

When functioning normally the chakras are fully “open’ and spin in a clockwise direction drawing the life force needed into the energy field.

When the chakra s are spinning counterclockwise however, the life force is repelled eventually compromising the metabolic process at cellular level. This chakra is then seen to be “closed” to incoming energies.

This is how we create our individual life experience. Everything has a vibrational frequency. Love has a certain vibration, fear has a different vibration to love. Money has a vibration, generosity has a vibration, anger has a vibration, jealousy has a vibration etc, etc.

The vibrational frequencies entering your energy field are dependent upon those of your chakras, which are open and spinning in a clockwise direction. Those chakras spinning in an anti clockwise direction are repelling vibrational frequencies away from you, sending them out into the cosmos for someone else who is “open” to absorb and transform.

The following is a brief description of each of the seven major chakras, where they are located in the energy body and their psychological and energic function in relation to the physical body.

Chakra One: Located at the base of the spine, it faces downwards. The base chakra is red in colour therefore having the longest wavelength. In Sanskrit it is called Muladhara, meaning root support. The vibrational frequency being slower and it’s density heavier than the other chakras. Energy transformed by this chakra is associated with the adrenal glands and is responsible for our physical survival. E.g. The flight or fight response.

Chakra Two: Located in the lower abdomen halfway between the sex organs and the navel. Having the colour orange, it is known as Svadhisthana in Sanskrit, meaning sweetness. Energy transformed by this chakra is associated with the male and female sex organs, sexuality and our emotions.

Chakra Three: Located in the solar plexus. It’s colour is yellow. In Sanskrit it is known as Manipura meaning lustrous gem, is associated with the adrenal glands as well as the pancreas. Energy transformed by this chakra is responsible for our feelings of personal power, mental activity, self will and self esteem.

Chakra Four: Located in front of the sternum. It’s colour is green. Known in Sanskrit as Anahata meaning unstruck it is associated with the thymus gland. Energy transformed by this chakra is responsible for our feelings of love.

It is worth noting here that the first three chakras are largely associated with the phycial body, whereas chakra’s five, six and seven are connected to and associated with our Spiritual aspect. Chakra number four, the heart chakra, is seen as the bridge uniting these two aspects of our nature.

Chakra Five: Located in the throat area, it’s colour is cobalt blue. Known in Sanskrit as Visuddha meaning purification. Energy transformed by this chakra is responsible for communication and how we express ourselves both verbally and creatively.

Chakra Six: Located in the center of the forehead. Sometimes known as the “third eye” it’s colour being indigo. The Sanskrit name is Ajna meaning to perceive. It is associated with the pineal gland and energy transformed by this chakra is responsible for our imagination, visualization, vision, intuition and clairvoyance.

Chakra Seven: Located at the top of the head it faces upwards, The colour of this chakra is violet and in Sanskrit it is known as Sahasrara, meaning thousandfold. Energy transformed by this chakra is associated with the pituitary gland and is responsible for our spiritual knowledge, wisdom, understanding and transcendent consciousness.

You will have noted by now, that the colours of the chakras in the human energy field correspond to those seen in the colour spectrum of light when it is passed through a glass prism!

We really are beings of light. Our bodies refract light. Consciousness enters our body in the form of energy or light where it is transformed and sent back out into the cosmos. In other words, you create your own reality through how you transform or refract consciousness in the form of light or energy.

The sixth chakra, situated in the middle of the forehead, is responsible for transforming energy associated with telepathy or intuitive knowledge. Frequencies associated with this chakra are known as higher vibrational frequencies as they are coming from a higher source of awareness or consciousness - i.e. they have a faster vibration. When the sixth chakra is open and fully functional we are able to tune into and intercept information on a vibrational frequency at this Higher level of awareness.

My very first experience of knowingly receiving intuitive knowledge came to me in a dream many years ago. I was worried about someone close to me who was about to embark on a business trip to China. He had been invited to attend an international conference on global energy. It was during the latter half of the eighties and there was a lot of unrest in China after the Tiananmen square incident. This particular night I had gone to bed feeling very unsettled about the impending trip. A few hours later I awoke from a dream in which I had seen a rainbow. The strange thing about the rainbow was that it was only three or four inches long. Stranger still was the message conveyed to me by the rainbow. Intuitively I knew it was symbolic of a safe passage and return journey from China for my partner.

Now I know what you are thinking, “that sounds silly” and I agree with you it does. The profound thing about the dream was the “feeling” I experienced on seeing the rainbow. It was a feeling of ABSOLUTE certainty. Not even the tiniest hint of a doubt was in my mind. I was one hundred percent sure of the significance of the “four inch” rainbow. It meant a safe passage to China for my partner. Simply that, there was no maybe, perhaps or possibly. In fact I could say with confidence that the entire journey would run exactly as planned. There were to be no delayed flights, no lost luggage or any hitches along the way.

It is very difficult to convey an experience like this to someone who has never had one. Those of you who have had similar experiences will know what they “feel” like and understand why there is no room for doubt? This is intuitive knowledge and it comes from an aspect of the Self, rooted in Higher consciousness or awareness.

Information coming from this source is transformed by the sixth chakra or the “third eye. “ It is not uncommon for it to be presented symbolically as this seems to be the universal language of the human psyche. Most importantly though, is the “feeling” attached to the symbol or symbols as they are presented.
