Subtle human bodies: their shapes and structure. Spiritual and energy structure of a person Subtle bodies of a person and his health connection

You must have heard that each of us, in addition to the physical body, has other bodies? This is true. They are called the seven subtle human bodies and six of them cannot be seen. Where are the 7 human bodies located? What is the function and role of the 7 subtle bodies of a person? In this article you will find answers to your questions.

There are 7 human bodies located around the physical body, including the physical body itself, which create an aura. Some people believe that the 7 subtle bodies of a person are similar to the structure of an onion - under one layer there is another. However, this is a bit of an erroneous opinion and with the seven bodies of a person, everything is different. Moving from one layer of the aura, you never lose touch with the previous one. The truth is that there are bodies that are easier to feel, and there are bodies that are very hidden, and one has to practice a lot to "make friends" with them.

To deal with the 7 subtle human bodies in more detail, you can divide them as follows. There are three bodies of the physical type, three bodies of the spiritual type and the astral body which is the bridge between these two groups. The lower three subtle bodies work with energy in the physical plane, while the higher three take care of the spiritual realms.

Each of the 7 human bodies differs in the frequency of its vibration. The higher the vibration, the farther it is from the physical shell. Also, each of the 7 human bodies has its own shape, structure, color, density and location relative to other shells.

So, below are 7 subtle human bodies

First layer. Physical body

Our physical body is considered the most primitive among the 7 subtle human bodies. However, without it, our existence would be impossible, and we would not be able to take lessons on this planet without a physical shell. Why is the physical body considered a subtle body? - you ask. Because it also has its own level of vibrations. Because the same sacred, inexplicable things happen in it, as well as at higher levels. The work of the human brain cannot be called the process of the “material world”.

The etheric body is the lowest vibrational body, located as close as possible to the physical shell. It has a great influence on the physical body and is responsible for the flow of energies in it. From the etheric body of a person depends on his health, longevity, the amount of vitality and enthusiasm.

Through the etheric body, a person communicates with the invisible forces of the universe. The etheric body is a bridge that connects the gross material "skin" with the external transcendental world. In addition, he leads a person to higher frequency etheric bodies, of which he has 5 more.

Second layer. etheric body

Why was the human ethereal body named that way? Because the ether is a transitional state from matter to energy and vice versa. The etheric body of a person is an electromagnetic layer located at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from the physical body. Electromagnetic devices capture it as a bluish or light gray layer of "loose" and flickering energy. In ancient writings, the etheric body of a person is often referred to as a vehicle for qi or prana energy. Wise men of different schools wrote about the same thing in different words.

Speaking in the words of modern science, the ethereal body can be called the human matrix, which consists of network communication channels through which energy circulates, just as current or information flows through electric wires. This is a very complex scheme, because it stores all the data about the human body, from the work of its organs to the chemical composition of the blood. The etheric body can safely be called a person's medical card.

The etheric body repeats its form after the physical body, so if a person has illnesses, injuries, blocks or any other ailments, the etheric body will definitely display them on itself. As mentioned earlier, the etheric body is a connector and conductor between the visible and the invisible, therefore, a sufficient amount of cosmic energy enters a healthy body, but not an unhealthy (physically or mentally) one, because the blocks do not allow energy to flow in the right direction.

Third layer. Astral or emotional body

We want to dispel a little these stereotypes about the astral and the human astral body. The good news is that astral travel is much closer than you think. And the key to it is your third subtle body, the human astral body. Everyone and everyone has it, the only difference is that someone has an astral body that is activated and functions at 100%, while someone else has not been able to set it up in the right way.

The first mention of the human astral body is found in the Indian Upanishads. Helena Blavatsky frequently referred to the human astral body in her writings, sometimes referring to it as the emotional body. It so happened that over time, the concepts of the astral body, the body of desire and the emotional body of a person became synonymous. We can say that this is true.

The astral body of a person is located at a distance of 10-100 cm from the physical body. Unlike the etheric body of a person, which is responsible for the connection of the physical body with its surrounding energies and is the basic conductor, the astral body of a person is responsible for energy exchange with other people, entities, phenomena, events , emotions, desires. The astral body of a person is a tool with which a person translates all his plans into reality. That is why the astral body is sometimes called the emotional body.

The astral body of a person is considered his aura, and it can have color. The color varies depending on the psycho-emotional state of a person, and its spectrum starts from black (negative emotions) and ends with white (complete inner harmony). The color of the astral body can be different - in the region of Anahata, for example, green, and in the region of Manipura - red at the same time. Devices have already been invented that can take pictures of the astral body of a person and specialists will be able to decipher what this or that color means. As a rule, pastel colors always symbolize calmness, while bright or too dark colors symbolize aggression or negativity. The color of the astral body can change throughout the day depending on the mood.

The activation of the astral body directly depends on the emotional state of a person and his desires and dreams. If a person is purposeful, he has set himself clear tasks, both everyday and grandiosely large, his astral body works actively. It receives energy from space, it interacts with other people, as a rule, as purposeful as he is, and suggests how to act in a given situation. If a person does not know or does not want to know what to do, his astral body "goes out" and the energies of other sources do not penetrate to him. Selfish, destructive desires have a negative impact on the astral body of a person, since they cause great harm to the environment and its energy. People with a negative point of thinking have a bad effect on the astral body of a person. Excessive experiences or prolonged use of narcotic, alcoholic substances that destroy the nervous system at the physical level also have a bad effect.

In order to set up the wrong functioning of the astral body of a person, it is necessary to begin with the desire to be useful to others. Service is like a healing balm for the astral body. The energy exchange between people is activated and a person who does good to others receives even more from them than he gives. This is one of the most powerful practices for activating the astral body.

Secondly, it will be useful to perform regular meditation aimed at monitoring the internal emotions that are projected onto the astral body. Harmonization, calming, normalization of certain desires or emotions will balance the work of the astral body and give you peace and tranquility throughout the day.

For those people who have no problems with the astral body and feel that it is working correctly, it is recommended to perform practices during dreams - astral travel. When the physical body is asleep, the human soul has the opportunity to leave it, enter the astral body and go to other layers of the universe. Some people prefer to perform these practices with the help of hallucinogenic substances, but do not forget that they can do much more harm than good.

All shamans of the world have the ability to see and connect both to their own and to someone else's astral body. Without this skill, they would not be able to heal people, since access to the "information field" of a person lies through his astral body, aura. Professionalism, the phenomenon of shamans lies in the fact that they are able to see and penetrate into the astral body without harming it. In addition, they perfectly control their astral body, not only during sleep, but also during wakefulness. Therefore, one can often hear stories that the same human shaman was seen in different places. There is nothing surprising - he used his astral body to move through space.

Psychic blocks are most often located in or in the Nadi channels. There are three Nadi channels - Pingala (right channel), Ida (left channel) and Sushumna (central channel). All three pass through the seven chakras of man, from Muladhara to Sahasrara. If Nadis and chakras are clear, then the etheric body of a person conducts cosmic energy along the entire length of these channels and centers, as a result of which a person feels healthy, strong, cheerful, happy, full of strength and desire to live and create. Such people can be seen from afar, neither electrical appliances nor clairvoyant people are needed for this. Those whose energy flows through the etheric body correctly spread their rays to everything around them.

However, most people have fears, bad memories, mental disorders, unresolved resentments, psychosomatic illnesses, and a host of other "anchors" that keep them at their lowest frequencies. Blocks can also appear if a person is not doing his own thing, when he is not satisfied with the events taking place in his life, when he deliberately wishes harm to others or engages in destructive activities. The etheric body immediately displays all this data and, as a conductor, does not work correctly.

What should be done to bring the etheric body to the correct work? This requires careful work on yourself and your inner self. First of all, you need to find those problems that worry you. These may be the most secret, secret and inexplicable facts, or they may be banal fears of society. When you figure out what is preventing you from living, you will be able to find a way to solve these problems and set up the etheric body in the right way. Listen to the etheric body - it will tell you how to act. Roughly speaking, if you even just make a request to the Universe, then the ethereal body will transmit its answer to you by any means. Be careful.

Next, you need to realize that working with the inner self requires specific actions. For some, it will be weight loss, for someone - reconciliation with relatives. Someone will need to give up a hated job, and someone, on the contrary, will finally get a job somewhere. The etheric body is not an ephemeral shell that unusual people talk about. This is just a reflection of a person’s life, and the more holistic and purposeful a person is, the stronger and clearer his etheric body is and the more benefits it brings him.

Do not forget that you will have to do self-education. The etheric body requires a person to understand its structure, and the more information-savvy a person is, the easier he will cope with his problems. It doesn't matter what sources you start your education with - from Hindu, Slavic or Chinese teachings, all will equally smoothly lead you to your path of self-realization.

When you start working with the etheric body of a person, be prepared for the fact that your nervous system may “fail”. Mood swings, tantrums, emotional burnout or an inexplicable high are signs that you have activated your Nadi channels and prana energy has flowed through them through the etheric body. Be patient and do not bring mental harm to others.

Fourth layer. Mental body or intellectual

At the level of the astral body, emotions arise in a person, and thoughts arise at the level of the mental body. Any thought processes, learning, subconscious and conscious, is first born in the mental body of a person, and then reaches the physical. Moreover, absolutely any information remains in the mental body forever. Thought forms, which are already a secondary product of the thinking process, are associated with the three subtle bodies of a person: the astral body, the mental body and the karmic body. They are inseparable and fully responsible for human behavior in society. At the astral level, an emotion arises, at the mental level, a thought is born from it, and at the level of the karmic body, the thought takes shape and is fulfilled by a person.

The mental body of a person can be cleansed by controlling food and sleep patterns. The simpler, healthier and lighter your diet is, the more active your brain will work, the more information you will be able to perceive and process. The mental body will fill up faster. Proper sleep in sufficient quantities, regular physical activity will also increase the tone of the body and there will be more strength to fill the mental body with new information and clear rooted stereotypes.

Do not forget that the higher the vibrations of your mental body, the finer and better knowledge will come to you from outside. Get ready for new teachings, new incredible knowledge, for adventures that did not happen to you until you began to work with your mental body.

Fifth layer. Causal or karmic body

We have already written earlier on our website that all actions, emotions and thoughts of a person are stored in his energy field. Each action has its own layer. There is an astral body for emotions and feelings, a mental body for thoughts and information storage, and a causal body for performing an action and storing this action in the memory of the Universe. Every human action, even inaction, has some reason and purpose. Moreover, each action is followed by the result and cause of the following incidents. That is, anything from a simple walk to the construction of a ship has a reason, meaning, purpose. Where do people get these or those desires to act in one way or another? How to explain that some succeed in making their dreams come true, while others fail? Why are some of us born into rich families and others into poor ones?

The answers to these and other questions have a karmic body of a person or a causal body of a person. It, like a real information field, retains the memory of all the actions of a given soul in all its rebirths. That is why this body is called the human karmic body. The ancient Indian scriptures paid much attention to the concept of karma. Karma is the totality of all the done deeds of the soul and the result of what he receives in return. Karma is the universal law of cause and effect, exceptionally fair, according to which all living beings get what they deserve and according to which the energy balance of the world or Samsara is maintained. The karmic body of a person can tell about who the person was in a past life or five lives before it. The karmic body of a person remembers all his good and bad deeds, the causal body can tell why this person was born in such conditions and even knows what awaits him ahead. The karmic or causal body of a person is not at all a magic ball for predictions, it can simply calculate what a person deserves for his efforts.

Unlike the astral, for example, the karmic body of a person does not have clear boundaries and there are no electrical appliances in the world that can capture its shape and size. The color of the karmic body is also unknown. However, they say that it is the karmic body that the soul takes with it after death and carries it through the centuries throughout its worldly existence. The ancient yogis set themselves the goal of burning karma - that is, getting rid of the karmic body. To do this, they performed serious austerities, meditated for months, led a monastic lifestyle. They believed that if they could get rid of karma, they would forever leave Samsara (the circle of death and rebirth) and fall into Nirvana, the Absolute, Brahman, etc.

A person can work with his physical, ethereal, astral, mental bodies, performing certain practices, but as for the karmic body, things are different here. All a person can do to "improve" their karmic body is to start following the Dharma. Dharma is the personal duty of each individual, intended only for him and due to be performed in order to maintain the universal balance. It is believed that those who live according to the Dharma burn their negative karma and accumulate positive ones. Positive karma makes it possible to be born in the next life in more favorable conditions, on divine planets, possessing various siddhis. One who does not observe the Dharma will be born in the next life in the body of an animal, plant, or an even lower evolutionary being to go through all the lessons anew.

It is believed that the karma of the family is stored in the karmic or causal body of a person. In many religious movements, it is repeatedly mentioned that the karma of one person is passed on to his descendants in several generations and, for example, grandchildren or great-grandchildren may be responsible for a serious crime. To learn about such curses, you need to learn to see the karmic body of a person, connect to it, read information from it and know how to correct certain other people's sins. Be careful and avoid charlatans, who may connect to your karmic body, however, can cause even more harm. The best thing is to find your teacher and understand that learning takes time.

If you realize your Dharma, live righteously and do not commit sins, your karmic body will begin to be cleansed of the memory of past negative deeds. You will discover the knowledge of how to recover from diseases that have been tormenting you for a long time, and if you manage to get rid of them, you will gain access to how to heal other people.

Sixth layer. Buddhic or intuitive body

Man is the most complex creation of the Universe, if we consider it on the energy plane. It seems to us that we consist only of bones and blood, but in reality there are at least 7 thin planes, 7 shells, on each of which the most important processes of our life activity take place.

Each of the seven subtle human bodies has its own vibration frequency, and the farther the shell is located from the body, the higher its vibration. The penultimate of the subtlest human bodies is the buddhic body, also called the intuitive human body. Previous bodies, for example, the mental or karmic bodies are responsible for very real events in life - for thoughts, actions, deeds. They store information about the activities of the soul and go on further journeys with it after the death of the body shell. However, at the level of the buddhic body of a person, flashes of intuition, forebodings, instincts, the so-called "sixth sense" occur. Information exclusively here and now. Science is used to giving the phenomenon of intuition a subconscious origin, considering it the result of brain activity. However, people who have at least some relation to spiritual teachings are accustomed to interpreting the emergence of intuition differently. They believe that it originates in the buddhic body, in the intuitive body of man.

The very name "buddhic" comes from the Sanskrit term "buddhi", which means the inner mind, an organ that allows you to comprehend God, comprehend the ideas and thoughts of a living being. Unlike other subtle bodies, the buddhic body of a person or the intuitive body of a person allows him to completely go beyond his physical shell and mind, and get into the information field of the Universe. It is often referred to as the Akashic Records.

The buddhic or intuitive body of a person is considered to be that invisible layer where brilliant ideas and thoughts are born, big problems are solved and insights come. Clairvoyants work through the intuitive body. The better a person's buddhic body is tuned to receive information, the better a person orients himself in life, the more ideas and goals he has, the better his interests are, the more truth he knows and sees.

It is believed that one who wants to know his true destiny must discard all conventions and turn to his buddhic body. It is the buddhic or intuitive body of a person that will tell him what to do and what profession to choose, whether to be near a particular person or leave him, build a house in this place or go in search of another refuge. Intuition is an information wave, it is always active, it all depends on how buddhic or intuitive the human body is tuned to receive.

Intuition is very important for people who are engaged in creative activities. Any artist, writer or musician will tell you that there are times when the "muse" comes and it's easy, fast and pleasant to create. Most likely, at such moments, the buddhic body is activated, it enters into resonance with the information of the environment and projects it onto the person and his activity. In order to develop intuition and increase the activity of the buddhic or intuitive body of a person, it is necessary to perform some simple practices. One of these practices is the abandonment of the constant desire to give everything a logical explanation. Turn off your mind and try to look at the situation through the eyes of a child devoid of stereotypes. Your intuitive body will tell you what happened. Be prepared for the fact that completely inexplicable things will begin to happen to you. This is fine.

Next, learn to trust your own hunches and listen to your inner voice. If you are haunted by an inexplicable feeling of anxiety, this may be the voice of a person’s intuitive body. If everyone around you keeps telling you the same thing, and you stubbornly do your own, knowing that you are right, this means that you, in a good sense of the word, follow the lead of your buddhic body and intuition, which comes from the universal information field. The buddhic or intuitive human body gives commands and clues in the form of dreams. In the people it is called prophetic dreams. In order not to miss a single detail, just start a small diary for yourself, in which write down everything that you dreamed about, saw, seemed unusual. All events will be intertwined later in one inseparable thread, just trust the buddhic body.

The Ajna chakra or the third eye is the symbol of the buddhic or intuitive body of man. If the pineal gland is activated, if a person skillfully uses the information stored in the information field, if he knows and uses the fact that the material visible world is just a drop in the great ocean of the Universe, he becomes friendly with his buddhic body and it begins to supply the person truly sacred knowledge, which he will later be able to pass on as teachings to the next generations. A person with an activated buddhic body is capable of leading thousands of people.

If you have managed to awaken your buddhic body and tune it in the right way, the quality of your life will noticeably increase: those issues that previously required you to take a long time to think will now be resolved in a matter of seconds. Through interaction with your buddhic or intuitive body, you will get rid of the concept of "risk", because now you will inextricably connect every moment of your existence with the manifestation of Divine Energy.

Seventh layer. Atmanic body

There is critically little information in the public domain about the human atmic body: who first spoke about it, who was the first to mention it in their writings, and so on. Modern scholars of Hinduism agreed that the Vedas and Upanishads note the existence of seven subtle human bodies. Each of them has its own clear location and function. The human atmic body is the highest, most powerful, subtlest of the seven bodies. In this article, we have collected useful information about the human atmic body, collected from many different sources.

As you know, each of the seven subtle bodies of a person has its own specific function and connects the soul, and then the body with one or another level of vibrations. For example, the etheric body contains information about a person's health, about his mental state, and the karmic body remembers all the actions of the soul and tells what awaits him ahead, according to his actions. The Atmic body of a person stands above all other bodies and connects the previous six with the Absolute, with God. Many names can be given to this boundless expanse, which is all that exists.

The name of the human atmic body comes from the Sanskrit term "atma". This is a complex concept that requires a long explanation, but if you try to fit it in a few words, then atma is a state of the soul that has realized itself. Atma is the merging of the being with the Absolute, enlightenment. The atmic body of a person received such a name, because it is with the help of it that a person acquires full awareness, peace, with the atmic body he cognizes God.

According to many spiritual currents, the self-realization of the individual consists in the destruction of the ego, in the burning of karma and in union with the Absolute. To do this, people perform various practices, do yoga, worship various deities, perform austerities and, in general, build their lifestyle according to this great goal. The Atmic body of a person is the key to the door of God, and in order to reach it, you need to know your own Self, which includes seven subtle bodies.

The atmic body of a person translates the appeal of the soul to God and vice versa. The purer the other six bodies, the faster the transfer of this information in both directions. When a person prays, turns to God, meditates on him or performs selfless deeds, sacrificing himself, it is the atmic body that transfers his blessings to the higher layers of space. As a rule, the reward, although it is not the meaning of the activity of such a person, is not long in coming. There is an energy exchange and through the atmic body a person receives goodness a hundred times stronger than he gives.

Only a few can maintain the constant active activity of the atmic body. This requires constant concentration, being in the state of here and now, inner peace and ultimate awareness. Meditation allows you to increase concentration, both during the process itself and throughout the day after practice. The atmic body of a person tunes in to receive energy, and at such moments many people notice an inexplicable surge of strength, unreasonable joy and inspiration. When the atmic body is at its most active, a person can experience ecstasy, visions, hallucinations, and see prophecies.

In most people, the atmic body is in a state of sleep. Blocks are present at the physical level, in the etheric body, in the astral, which no longer allows the atmic body to function correctly. A person has seven chakras and three subtle Nadi channels through which energy flows. If there are blocks in some area in the form of fears, unpleasant memories, attachments, the influence of the ego, and so on, the energy circulates incorrectly, which is displayed on the physical shell in the form of diseases. A person remains at the level of solving his everyday needs and needs, and there can be no talk about the development of the atmic body.

Therefore, in order to gain access to your own atmic body and learn how to work with it, you must start from the very first body - from the physical. The advice here is extremely simple: work on your own weaknesses and bad habits, normalize sleep, work and rest patterns, proper communication, nutrition and living conditions. Education plays a very important role.

After the physical body is “adjusted”, you can move on to the next stage and work with your own emotions. Remember that the activation of the atmic body and work with it can take not only many months, but even years. Monks, wise elders and shamans, who achieved wisdom only after decades of hard efforts, can serve as an example.

When a person has managed to set up the work of the physical, etheric, astral bodies, he proceeds to practices aimed at specific cases, the mental and karmic bodies are responsible for them. The practice at these stages is to mentally work on your knowledge and behavior. Purity of thoughts and deeds is the basis for advancing further, to the atmic body of a person.

The two highest, thinnest layers - the buddhic and atmic bodies will be available to those who have learned the previous lessons and passed them with dignity. The human buddhic body is responsible for intuition, creativity, unconditional discoveries and ideas. At this level, a person draws his inspiration for life and work. When he realized that everything that surrounds him is God, he creates and creates in his name, he gives every second of his existence to him and is grateful for it. It is then that the atmic body of a person opens. God sees that a person has realized and comprehended his secrets and begins to endow him with the joy of being.

Staying here and now is the basis for the proper functioning of the atmic body.

The human soul is a multidimensional structure manifested at 7 levels of reality, different in density and frequency. Each level of reality corresponds to one of the 7 human energy bodies.

The whole universe is arranged like this structure. And even in a long mystical tradition, the cosmic soul, which existed forever in the world of ideas and primordial images, was the central element in the construction of the Universe.

1. Physical body

It is a tool of knowledge and action. With the help of this body we acquire the experience of earthly existence. In occult and religious teachings, it is believed that the disintegration of the physical body begins on the 3rd day after the actual departure of a person from life. More precisely, on the 3rd day, all connections of subtle bodies with the physical shell collapse.

“When an offering takes place in the Church on the third day, the soul of the deceased receives relief from the angel guarding it in sorrow, which it feels from separation from the body.”
Revelation of Macarius of Alexandria

2. Etheric body

A thin energy-information structure that displays the state of all other bodies. For people with developed thin channels, the ether is visible as a white haze around the physical body of a person. After physical death, the ethereal body lives for another 9 days in relation to the Earth, after which it dissipates. Further, the human soul leaves our reality.

3. Emotional body

It is a feeling tool. Desires arise in this body and, as a result of the processing of these desires by the higher "I" - emotions. On this plane are shown. Energetically, the astral body manifests itself in the form of an aura and can have different colors and shades depending on the nature of the work of the energy centers. Presumably, this body lives from 40 days to 1 year after physical death, after which the ordered information of this structure passes into the mental plane.

4. Mental body

In other words, the human intellect or the experience of the current incarnation. At the level of the mental body, the thought process takes place. The positive experience of this plan after the end of earthly existence moves in a structured way to the level of the causal body.

5. Casual body

The causal body is the body of cause and effect. It is also called karmic. It is the intellect or consciousness of the soul. This body absorbs the ordered information of all incarnations, in other words, wisdom.

If a person lived an empty life and did not fulfill the tasks assigned to him, or if his actions contradicted the laws of the Universe, which also indicates a lack of some understanding of the universe, these unresolved tasks are transferred to the next incarnation.

6. Buddhic body.

Memory of the soul or spiritual mind. It carries the experience of all incarnations of the soul. Here is what we call Conscience. Not morality, but Conscience. Here our system of spiritual values ​​and priorities is formed.

7. Monadic body.

The Monad is a hologram of the Creator, the essence of the soul. Atma is God in man.

The causal, buddhic and atmic bodies form the immortal part of the human soul. As a rule, direct access to our consciousness to these bodies is closed and it is opened only to those who have reached the level of ethics and practice necessary for this. So, some people remember their past lives, establish a connection with the “Universal Mind” and read information from the depths of outer space.

There are several layers of superposition of energies in space, the denser the energy and the lower the vibration, the more tangible it is. human perception. These layers are called subtle bodies. A person has a huge number of subtle bodies, and the higher they are in vibration, the more difficult it is to catch them with the physical senses. Many modern schemes of the human energy system are built on the basic seven bodies. This is quite enough to perceive them at a certain level of enlightenment.

Subtle bodies are fields formed from the glow of the spirit through the physical body or, in other words, the aura. Many people work with subtle bodies as with the primary sources of human ailments, but they are only barely perceptible outlines of the glow of the spirit. Just as the physical body itself is not the source of manifestation, so everything that radiates through it is not the primary source.

A stable, even aura, subtle bodies aligned along the axis, a healthy physical body are the result of a pure, conscious internal energy space. A consequence of pure, expanded and structured consciousness.


Subtle bodies are light fields, at the level of which energies of a similar level of vibrations come into contact, having an approximate density. Each subtle body touches and captures its range of energies at its own level. There are 7 main subtle bodies:

Physical body

Although according to the general standard, the physical body is classified as subtle, I would not classify it that way. But I understand that leaving the usual patterns can confuse a person even more. Everything is relative, and relative to the physical body, the other fields with each layer are thinner and more elusive with the main human senses. The physical body can be decomposed into components, but these will be lessons in physiology. All people know more or less the physical body what it is in general and how to use it, they also have an idea.

The physical body, when considered as a separate organism in terms of energies, vibrates in a special way at low frequencies and belongs to the Earth's ecosystem. Studying it, treatment is possible by material ways that resonate at the level of the physical body. For the spirit is a vessel, through which there is an interaction with the dense layers of consciousness, manifested in matter.


The physical body is limited by dimensions, being in a density and a low-vibration flow of energies, it deforms every moment and, ultimately, passes into other formations, disintegrates or decomposes. The more often the physical body is a conductor of low vibrations or negative experience, and also, the more it interacts with the alchemy of certain substances, the faster it wears out, being destroyed.

The physical body is instrument of human interaction with the material world. All other formations of energies are radiation and a continuation of the physical body, and vice versa, the physical body is a continuation of thin bodies, ∞.

etheric body

The body or energy field, barely perceptible to the human eye. The etheric body perceives, like any field, energy fields similar to itself.

The etheric body is human electromagnetic field. People involved in bioenergetics work with these fields to a greater extent, correcting them, charging, filling and stabilizing them. Ether is the energy that binds subtle bodies, it permeates the entire space of the Earth, Cosmos, and the Universe.


The etheric body is a learning level, as the first formation of a special life of organisms in the Universe.
The etheric body is a shell and is a relay that transmits an energy impulse to the physical body, capable of activating certain tools for understanding one's nature and understanding the world.

astral body

The emotional body of a person. At this level, the human mind is able to come into contact with many types of energies of fear, anger, lust. Represents a sphere from which rays emanate in different directions. They permeate space, thereby allowing consciousness to be located in many layers of the mental level at once.


Astral energy is energy at certain vibrations. It is already atmospheric, but does not shrink to matter.

mental body

Everything that is revealed through the mental body has nothing to do with the knowledge of its highest essence.


The mental body is the link between the higher spheres and this reality. This is an attractive psionic energy, and sometimes it “tightens the screws” so much that it becomes unbearable for a person to live. No matter how enticing the illusion born of the mental may look, any upsurge will be followed by a downturn.

Causal body

The experience of this and other incarnations, dissolved in consciousness, has energy codes that are “recorded” in the matrix of the causal body. The dissolution and acceptance of the energies of the past will never lead to the dissolution of the causal body, because it is such a powerful energy link in the subtle bodies of a person that a complete purification of the causal is impossible.


In practice, it has control over the mental body, a certain code in the causal body activates a number of events in a person’s life, and the mental body instantly reacts to an event with a certain reaction, which is the beginning of the elaboration of karmic experience. The causal body is subject to transformation, depending on the degree of awareness of each, these transformations take place and all bodies change.

Buddhic body

The body of awareness, the body of the unmanifested "Buddha". Thanks to this body, a person does not go into the astral search for his essence, but has luminosity for the transition to higher layers of self-knowledge. The causal accumulates over the centuries, but the buddhial body simply is and has no differences from the buddhial bodies of other people.

Atmic body

The body of the absolute. Complete, total unity with the space of the Universe.

What you need to know about subtle bodies

For a person who sets himself the goal of getting to know the subtle worlds by looking a little further, the study of the subtle bodies themselves will not bring results.
Subtle bodies are only the radiation of the inner infinite space from the spirit to the soul and further through the physical body into the expanses of the Universe and from the Universe in the reverse order under the sign of infinity.


Concepts allow only at a very primitive level, conditionally decompose and describe some processes. Not in these bodies is what people are looking for, but where it comes from ... So close that it's even hard to believe it, the Universe consists of all this. And this search is possible not with the mind, but with the heart. To everyone who is ready for this, let the gates of accepting new experience and new opportunities in the numerous manifestation of the spirit on earth be opened.

Millions of people, in search of truth, clutched at the air, not realizing that everything is inside them, and the subtle world with all its inhabitants is just a projection of consciousness. Man is everything from which he tries to separate himself, and this is the great game of duality.

A person who sees the ether, astral, mental, subtle bodies, entities and is not aware of their primary source, also sleeps deeply, playing his game, watching other dreams. Any experience is unique and priceless, at what level awareness no matter the person, and no matter what game he plays.

The energy of a person is as deep and incomprehensible to the mind as the Universe, with all its inhabitants, is immense. To understand a person in it is often beyond the power of the tools available to him. What a person consists of is not capable of exploring itself, being motivated only by desire emanating from the lower layers of his perception. The study takes place naturally and multi-level, deep and chaotic, according to special algorithms that will forever remain a mystery to the mind.

The paradox of the current stage in the development of science is that the more scientists try to move away from the "remnants of the past", the more they approach them. The hypothesis that the physical body should not be considered the only component of a person has long been considered by the most respected researchers. Invisible to our eyes, the subtle bodies of a person, their forms and structure came to the attention of scientists as early as the middle of the 20th century.

What is the subtle body?

Subtle bodies mean systems controlled by energy centers - chakras . It is rather difficult to explain these rather abstract concepts in a few words to the unprepared. Some philosophies and Eastern religions consider subtle bodies to be conductors of a person in other worlds, where they are perceived in exactly the same way as the physical body in the reality around us.

Essences of the subtle world, the classification of which will be presented below, are divided by esotericists into 2 groups. Some of them are immortal and travel with us from one life to another. The second is mortal, like the physical body, which is subject to decay after its own death. The concept of subtle bodies should not be confused with the concept of the soul. According to esotericists, the soul is consciousness, the “I”, which persists after physical death.

7 subtle human bodies

Non-physical shells - essence of the subtle world, to lassification, left to us by ancient teachings, distinguishes 7 energy systems:

  1. etheric body(energy center - svadhisthana chakra ). It is considered the closest to the physical shell of all subtle bodies. Many people are able to see the ethereal component not only of living beings, but also of inanimate objects. The etheric body is responsible for the circulatory and genitourinary systems of the human material shell. It is responsible for the immune system and thermoregulation of the body. The shell itself needs protection. The ethereal component can be damaged by the wrong way of life and negative emotions. One of the easiest and most affordable ways to support the body is through sports.

  2. astral body(energy center - Manipura chakra ). Responsible for our well-being in the astral world. If this body is not damaged or destroyed, a person is well protected from negative energy effects, better known as “damage”, “evil eye”, “curse”, etc. People who have a healthy astral shell are able to influence others. In addition, there are special teachings, thanks to which a person gets the opportunity to travel in the subtle world. However, if the traveler makes a mistake, he risks not returning to the physical world.
  3. mental body(energy center - Anahata chakra ). Thin invisible human body, their shape and structure must be studied in order to preserve their health. Each of our intangible substances requires its own nourishment. The mental body needs knowledge, the search for truth. For most people, mental activity ends after getting a profession. And someone stops studying after school. The mental essence of those who do not strive for any new knowledge gradually atrophies. Like any organ of the physical shell, it turns into a vestige. Having not received mental progress in this life, the soul is forced to return once again to the world that it has just left or to descend to a lower level of development.

  4. Karmic body(energy center - vishuddha chakra ). The expressions "bad karma" and "good karma" are familiar to many people. In fact, karma cannot be good or bad. This is the totality of our actions committed in past lives. The task of the new incarnation is not to receive punishment for "bad karma". The soul returns to correct mistakes.
  5. (energy center - Ajna chakra ). The subtle bodies of a person, their forms, purpose and structure cannot always be understood and explained. The buddhic body gets its development only when a person develops his extrasensory abilities. Both the process of improvement and its purpose are important. If you strive to become a clairvoyant just to earn money and fame, your actions will be considered selfish, and the buddhic essence will not receive the desired development.

  6. spiritual body(energy center - Chakra Sahasrara ). There are several ways to develop this body, the main of which are serving God, fighting evil on a subtle level, and spiritual teaching. This essence is revealed at the seventh, the highest level of human development on earth.

  7. <
  8. Absolute body(energy center - chakra Atman ). The body is developed in those who are called messiahs and great teachers, such as Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha. The shell is filled with absolute energy, which comes from the Absolute (as God, the highest being, is sometimes called). The body can exceed the size of the physical shell.

The subtle bodies of a person, their forms and structure have not yet been fully studied by modern scientists. The equipment of the new millennium is not so perfect as to cognize the spiritual substance. Skeptics are used to believing only in what can be perceived by the senses. However, even people far from religion, mysticism and philosophy recognize that there are worlds and dimensions invisible to us.

In addition to his physical body, there are also 7 subtle or energy bodies, each of which has its own special important functions and structural features. It turns out that together with the physical body, a person has 8 subtle bodies. Subtle bodies are part of the human energy, some of them (upper bodies) are immortal, as well as, part (lower bodies) are mortal or replaceable, with a new incarnation (formation of the physical body), new lower bodies are formed in a person.

Subtle bodies - determine the energy strength of a person, protection and many abilities that are directly related to these bodies. Each subtle body is controlled by one or another. And all together, Subtle bodies form a multi-colored Aura of a Human. Let's consider everything in order, and in subsequent articles we will study each subtle body in more detail.

What are the Subtle bodies of a Human. Definitions, structure, etc.

The subtle bodies of a Human are the main energy systems (shells, etc.), controlled by their respective ones and designed to hold free energies, protect consciousness, strengthen other energy systems (abilities, etc.), give a person a form in, etc.

There are errors in the drawings, they are approximate to create a general idea.

Basic Subtle Bodies:

And the eighth body (or rather, the first, or the lowest) is the physical one, it controls it.

Each subtle body accumulates and retains the energy of its level, which is necessary for a person for life, development and activity.

Etheric body accumulates ethereal energy, Astral body - astral, Mental - mental, etc.

Each type of energy has its own characteristics and purpose. Etheric - retains heat around the body and maintains body temperature. Astral energy is needed for protection and fighting, it is the energy of strength. Mental - for mental work, to think, control thinking and thoughts.

Each subtle body has its own thickness, which is different for different people. In energetically developed people, subtle bodies are large, pumped up with energy, then they say - “Big Man” :) If a person is exhausted, subtle bodies can hang on him like rags, then one physical body can barely move.

What gives the development of the Human Subtle Bodies?

Each subtle body is a set of its capabilities and abilities for a person!

For example:

The development of the physical body - you know what it gives - strength, health, pleasure from feeling yourself, comfort and confidence in life, resistance to diseases, etc.

The development of the etheric body is the control of the circulatory system, it makes it possible not to freeze in winter and not to die from heat in summer, and many others. others

The development of the astral body - gives a person invulnerability from the negative emotions of other people, the ability to influence their energy, the ability to punish others for injustice, etc.

How to develop your Subtle bodies?

1. Subtle bodies develop and grow automatically, with the development of the corresponding chakras, that is, when a person realizes the aspirations and principles of these chakras. For example if a person is engaged in mental work, then his mental body will develop and grow, etc.

2. Through a purposeful collection of the appropriate energy on the Subtle body, with the help of special esoteric techniques of energy collection. Regularly filling his Subtle bodies with energy, a person develops them, they increase and grow all the time, their systems and abilities are revealed.

3. Through the right way of life - one that does not lead to energy depletion, but, on the contrary, contributes to the harmonious development of the personality, and, accordingly, its Subtle bodies. When there is everything important in life - sports, hardening, emotional training, relationships, mental work, spiritual development, Service (social activities), etc.

4. Through the removal of negative, blocking or destructive influences from the Subtle bodies and the corresponding chakras. A person either does this himself, if he has the abilities and powers for this (in meditation, for example), or it helps to do it (individual work with a professional).

In the following article, we consider the main features of all the subtle bodies of a Human.

There is a need to work with, clean the Subtle bodies, etc. - write to.
