Key Takeaways

1. The Human Energy Field: The Foundation of Health and Healing

The human energy field is composed of seven levels. Each level penetrates through the body and extends outward from the skin.

Energy fields as life essence. The human energy field, or aura, is not just a mystical concept but a fundamental aspect of our being. It serves as the template upon which our physical body is formed and maintained. This field consists of multiple layers, each corresponding to different aspects of our existence - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Health and the energy field. Imbalances or distortions in the energy field can manifest as physical or emotional ailments. By understanding and working with these energy fields, we can address the root causes of illness before they manifest physically. Healing modalities that focus on the energy field, such as hands-on healing and chakra balancing, can be powerful tools for maintaining health and promoting recovery.

2. Understanding the Seven Levels of the Auric Field

Each level is different according to the makeup of energy-consciousness in that level. This gives us a wide variety of life experience from which to learn.

The seven-layered aura. Each level of the auric field corresponds to a different aspect of our being:

  • First level: Physical sensations and body awareness
  • Second level: Emotions and feelings about oneself
  • Third level: Mental processes and rational thinking
  • Fourth level: Relationships and interactions with others
  • Fifth level: Divine will and the power of truth
  • Sixth level: Spiritual ecstasy and divine love
  • Seventh level: Divine mind and connection to universal wisdom

Holistic health approach. By addressing each level of the auric field, we can create a comprehensive approach to healing that encompasses all aspects of our being. This multi-dimensional understanding allows for a more nuanced and effective approach to health and personal growth.

3. Holographic Healing: A New Paradigm for Health

Consciousness is the basic reality. God is everywhere, in everything. God is above us, below us, all around us, and within us.

Mind over matter. The holographic model of healing suggests that consciousness, not matter, is the fundamental reality. This perspective shifts our understanding of health and disease, emphasizing the power of our thoughts, beliefs, and intentions in shaping our physical reality.

Interconnectedness of all things. In the holographic model, every part contains the whole. This means that:

  • Healing one aspect of ourselves can have far-reaching effects on our entire being
  • We are intimately connected to the world around us, and our actions affect not just ourselves but the entire universe
  • By tapping into this interconnectedness, we can access vast resources for healing and personal growth

4. The Balancing System: Your Body's Inner Wisdom

Within you is a wonderful system of checks and balances that is designed to keep you, your auric field, and your physical body in perfect operating order.

Trusting inner guidance. Our bodies possess an innate wisdom that constantly works to maintain balance and health. This balancing system communicates through physical sensations, emotions, and intuitive insights. Learning to listen to and trust these messages is crucial for maintaining optimal health.

Honoring the balancing system. Practical ways to support your balancing system include:

  • Paying attention to physical sensations and addressing discomfort promptly
  • Honoring your body's need for rest, nutrition, and movement
  • Acknowledging and expressing emotions rather than suppressing them
  • Making lifestyle choices that align with your body's natural rhythms and needs

5. Transforming Pain into Personal Growth

Healing is remembering who we truly are. It is reconnecting to our core in the areas of our psyche where we have disconnected from it, and living accordingly.

Pain as a teacher. Physical and emotional pain often serve as messengers, pointing to areas in our lives that need attention and healing. By approaching pain with curiosity and openness, we can uncover valuable insights about ourselves and our needs.

The healing journey. Transforming pain involves several stages:

  1. Acknowledging the pain and its impact on our lives
  2. Exploring the underlying causes and beliefs contributing to the pain
  3. Releasing old patterns and emotions that no longer serve us
  4. Cultivating new, healthier ways of being and relating to ourselves and others
  5. Integrating the lessons learned and embracing a new, more authentic self

6. Cultivating Self-Love and Acceptance

The only way to remember who we are, to create our lives the way we want them, to create health and to feel safe, is to connect fully once again with our core.

Self-love as healing. Cultivating a loving and accepting relationship with ourselves is fundamental to the healing process. This involves recognizing and releasing self-judgments, embracing our imperfections, and honoring our authentic needs and desires.

Practices for self-love:

  • Mirror work: Looking into your own eyes and speaking words of love and acceptance
  • Body appreciation: Thanking each part of your body for its service and unique beauty
  • Affirmations: Regularly repeating positive statements about yourself
  • Self-care rituals: Engaging in activities that nurture and honor your body, mind, and spirit
  • Boundaries: Learning to say no to others and yes to yourself when appropriate

7. Harnessing the Power of Intention and Core Essence

It is from this inner source that all creativity from within arises. It is the eternal fountainhead within each of us from which all our creations come.

Connecting to core essence. At the deepest level of our being lies our core essence - the unique spark of divinity within each of us. By connecting to this essence, we tap into our innate wisdom, creativity, and healing power.

Intention as a creative force. Our intentions shape our reality on multiple levels:

  • Haric level: Aligning our intentions with our life purpose and deepest values
  • Auric level: Directing energy and consciousness to support our goals and desires
  • Physical level: Taking inspired action in alignment with our intentions

Practices for harnessing intention include meditation, visualization, and conscious goal-setting that aligns with our core essence.

8. Creating a Healing Environment: From Diet to Energy Spaces

Everything we just said about sound, we can also say about color. Both are created through a vibrational wave, and thus both have a wave structure and a frequency of vibration.

Holistic environmental healing. Our environment profoundly affects our energy field and overall well-being. Creating a healing environment involves:

  • Nutrition: Eating organic, whole foods that resonate with our individual needs
  • Color therapy: Using specific colors to balance and energize different aspects of our being
  • Sound healing: Incorporating music, chanting, or nature sounds to promote relaxation and balance
  • Space clearing: Regularly cleansing our living spaces of stagnant energy through smudging, crystals, or intention
  • Nature connection: Spending time in natural settings to recharge and align with earth energies

Personal energy management. Being mindful of the energetic impact of our surroundings empowers us to create spaces and routines that support our health and well-being.

9. The Healer-Physician Team: Integrating Complementary Approaches

The five major objectives are: To obtain a clear understanding of the disease process going on in the patient. In healers' terms this is called a dis-ease description; in physicians' terms it is called a diagnosis.

Collaborative healing. Integrating traditional medical approaches with energy healing and other complementary therapies can provide a more comprehensive and effective approach to health. This collaboration allows for addressing both the physical symptoms and the underlying energetic and emotional imbalances.

Benefits of integration:

  • More accurate and holistic diagnosis of health issues
  • Reduced need for invasive treatments and medications
  • Enhanced healing and recovery times
  • Greater patient empowerment and involvement in the healing process
  • Addressing root causes rather than just symptoms

10. Uncovering the Healer Within: A Journey of Self-Discovery

You are your primary healer. One of the most powerful paths of self-healing is to enter into a positive emotional relationship with yourself.

Awakening inner healing power. Each of us possesses an innate capacity for healing and self-renewal. By connecting with our inner healer, we can tap into this powerful resource and take an active role in our health and well-being.

Steps to uncover the healer within:

  1. Cultivate self-awareness through meditation and reflection
  2. Listen to and trust your intuition and body wisdom
  3. Explore and release limiting beliefs about health and healing
  4. Develop a compassionate and nurturing relationship with yourself
  5. Learn and practice energy healing techniques
  6. Seek guidance and support from mentors and healers while honoring your inner authority

By embracing the healer within, we empower ourselves to create lasting health and transformation on all levels of our being.
