About us
Most of us are aware of the physical
aspects of our bodies. Few people, however, are aware of our energy bodies and
the relationship between these and our physical bodies and our health.
The diagram on the left is a
representation of who we are in terms of energy. Our physical bodies are
surrounded by a number of energy bodies. These fit inside each other like a set
of wooden Russian dolls. The energy vibrations of these bodies are slowest in
the physical body and increase outwards from the physical body. Emotions and
thoughts are held in the energy bodies immediately surrounding the physical
body.
Everyday senses such as taste, touch, smell,
sight, hearing, etc., and day to day feelings and thoughts have a relatively
low energy frequency and do not give the average person the ability to have
much awareness of what is going on in the outer energy fields which have a
higher energy frequency. This is why 
most people are not aware of their energy
bodies.
We are all familiar with the need to eat food and to
drink liquids. These pass through our physical body, we take the nutrients that
we need, and then release from our bodies the waste products. We also need to
do the same thing with the life force energy that is in the air all around us.
We need to take in this energy, process the ‘nutrition’ that it gives us, and
then release the ‘waste products’. This energy is needed in not just our
physical bodies but in the energy bodies around us as well. This life force
energy helps us to maintain good health in our physical bodies, it helps us to
process emotions and feelings in our emotional energy bodies, it helps us to
process thoughts and ideas in our mental energy bodies, etc.. The term ‘life force energy’ is a generic
term for a range of energies that are all around us but which most of us cannot
sense with our physical senses. Life force energy is received into the energy
and physical bodies through the ‘chakras’ as shown in the two diagrams on the
right. A chakra is a ‘gateway’ though which a vortex of energy flows into our
energy and physical bodies and out through which we release used energy. Each
person has thousands of chakras, with the seven most important chakras shown in
the diagrams. The incoming energy flows through the chakras into the meridian
channels and through the nervous system into the endocrine (glandular) system
and into the blood stream. The used energy then travels back out through the
same routes and is released out through the chakras. Further below are some
diagrams of the meridian system, with the meridians represented as the dotted
lines. The 
oriental practices of acupressure and
acupuncture are focussed on ensuring that life force energy flows freely along
the meridians.
Additionally, the chakras are intrinsically linked to our growth as
people through life. Each of the seven main chakras takes about five to six
years to develop fully, and they develop in turn, one after the other. The
first to develop is the root chakra at the bottom of the spine which has the
function of anchoring our energy bodies to the physical body. It develops
during the first five to six years of life. It is then the turn of the next
main chakra above the root chakra, the sacral chakra, to develop fully. The
sacral chakra is linked to a person’s creativity including reproductive
creativity, and develops between the fifth and twelfth years of life. The onset
of puberty arises when this chakra is fully developed. The next chakra is the
solar plexus which is linked to emotional development, developing during the
teenage 
years, followed by the heart chakra which is
linked to the ability to have loving relationships. The fifth is the throat
chakra which is linked to our ability to communicate and to express our
creativity verbally. The third eye chakra is linked to our psychic ability and
the crown chakra at the top of our head is linked to our spiritual connection
with the world around us and the cosmos. At the bottom of our spines is our own
personal pool of life force energy, called kundalini
energy, which trickles out into our internal energy system. It flows more
freely into each chakra when the chakra has developed fully. When all the
chakras are developed, it should flow straight up through all the chakras and
through the crown chakra to link with the life force energy all around us. This then opens the door of opportunity for
significant spiritual growth and for strong spiritual connection to the world
around. This is what happened to me when I was not working for a while.
Linked to
the development of the chakras through life are the energies of the stars and
planets. These are filtered as constituents of the life force energy through 
the chakras into our energy and physical
bodies. In the west, we are used to the concept that the Moon influences the
menstrual cycle of women. What we have less awareness of is the general
influence of astrological energies in our energy fields and how they influence
our personal growth in life. At the soul level, we process through our energy
fields in particular the energies of the stars of the Great Bear, Pleiadean and Sirius systems and the energies represented
by the lunar nodes in our horoscopes. In the other energy bodies and in the
physical body, we process the energies of the planets in our solar system. The
energy of the Moon is connected to our emotions, the energy of the planet Mercury is connected to our mental processes
and communications, Venus is connected with love, Mars with our day to day
energy, Jupiter with our growth and development through life, Saturn with how
we structure and focus our day to day energies, etc.. The energetic
relationships between these astrological energies change as the planets move
closer to or further away from each other as they orbit around the Sun. Some of these relationships have the ability
to influence our personal development. For example, the energy of Saturn
challenges the day to 
day structures of our lives at the age of
14 to 15 as it moves into what the astrologers refer to as an opposite transit.
For young people, this represents an opportunity to experience the challenge of
growing out of the day to day structures which their parents have given them
and to find their own structures in life. This can be quite stressful,
especially as they will also have been coping with a lot of hormonal and
chemical changes in their bodies at that age. Saturn challenges the structure
of our lives again around the age of 29 to 30. Some of these planetary
relationships have the ability to influence our energy fields significantly. As
a different example, between the ages of 38 and 42, the energy of the planet
Uranus in opposite transit pulls on the kundalini to
rise upwards very strongly through all the chakras. The section on the Raku-kei energy gives a brief explanation of how a person can
experience depression and other symptoms if the kundalini
energy cannot move freely under the influence of Uranus.
The free
flow of incoming and outgoing life force energy and the flow of the internal kundalini support good health and the development of the
chakras. Anything that blocks the free flow of this energy has the potential to
cause disturbance to mental, emotional and physical health, and to the
development of the chakras. The most common blockages arise from life
experiences and from internal behavioural patterns. For example, a person can
sometimes encounter a very 
traumatic event in life such as
unfaithfulness by the person’s spouse. If the pain of the trauma is more than
the person can cope with at the time, the energy of the trauma ‘sits’ in the
energy field waiting for the right time for it to be released. Sometimes,
however, the person will avoid dealing with the release of the pain, and there
is then the potential for the energy of the trauma to interrupt the natural
flow of life force energy through the energy field. If the person feels very
bitter or angry about what has happened, there is a need for these feelings to
be processed out of the energy field. However, what often happens is that the
feelings get held within the energy field. If the person keeps going over and
over in the mind and in the emotions what has happened, the energy of these feelings held by the
person becomes bigger and bigger and creates further potential for the
interruption of the natural flow of energy through the energy field. If the
person then holds feelings of suspicion
or mistrust for the next close partner and is expecting the next partner also
to be unfaithful, that holds further negative energy in the energy field. The
cumulative effect of all this is to build up a big ‘lump’ of unprocessed energy
in the energy field which affects the person’s emotional and mental state, and
which also has the 
potential to cause physical illness due to
the interruption of the free flow of energy through the energy and physical
bodies. Such events and behavioural patterns are referred to as ‘issues’ by healers, and their resolution is often linked to improved
health conditions.
Relationships with other people can create blockages in a person’s
energy field in a different way. Mental and emotional and physical
relationships with other people create connecting strands of energy between the
chakras of the people in the relationship. If there is a lot of negativity in
relationships, the energy in these connecting strands is usually negative and
we may find it uncomfortable to deal with. Again, if it then ‘sits’ in the energy
field, it can interrupt the free flow of energy and affect a person’s
behavioural patterns and health. For example, a parent who often tells a young
child that he or she is useless and no good will be
sending a stream of very unpleasant energy into the child’s energy field. If
the child cannot process this negative energy back out, it can create energy
blockages in the child’s energy field. If the negative energy sits in the
sacral chakra, it can affect the creativity of the child. If it sits in the solar
plexus or heart chakras, it can affect the child’s emotions and capacity to
open up to receiving and giving love. If it sits in the throat chakra, it can
make it difficult for the child to express him/herself. It can also create the
potential for physical illness in the child.
Relationships with other people can also
affect our energy fields for another important reason. Although most of us do
not have the awareness of where we come from before physical life because of
the limitations of the physical senses, we ultimately come from what is called the Universal or Divine
Consciousness. Different cultures have
different concepts of this. European cultures refer to this as God. Some Asian
cultures refer to this as the Source. When we are incarnate in our physical
bodies, we become fragmented from the Universal Consciousness. Additionally,
the physical world in which we live is one that has been created in polarities
or dualities, e.g. male/female. The effect of all this is that in physical life
not only are we separated from where we have come from but we are also not
complete as we do not have all the dualities within us. If we are aware of
this, we can work with spiritual practice to link back to the Universal
Consciousness and we can work on issues of duality and have learning
experiences from these. If we are not aware of this, however, which is the
state of most people, we can often feel that we are not fully integrated with
the world around, we can feel isolated and separated, we can feel that we are
not achieving full communication and understanding with other people, we can
feel incomplete, etc.. Having relationships with other people is a way of
dealing with this, and where two or more people come together it is possible to
form an integrated energy whole or union in relationships. A negative relationship is where a person
uses another person as a crutch to give them access to the energies they are
missing, and where there is the potential for negative behavioural patterns to
arise such as jealousy, forcing opinions on the other person, emotional
manipulation, etc. – all arising intentionally or unintentionally to prevent
the loss of the other person and that person’s energy. This throws all sorts of
negative energy into the energy links between the energy fields and chakras of
the people involved. If this is not processed out properly, the energy fields
become clogged up with this negative energy, resulting in emotional and mental
behavioural disturbance and sometimes can influence physical health. A positive
relationship, however, where there is mutual support and respect and love
brings positive energy into the energy links between people and helps to
support good health.
Sometimes, the root cause of addictive
behavioural patterns is linked to feelings of separation and isolation, and the
addiction is a form of nurturing which the person is unable to find
externally.
The life force energy that we take in
contains the elemental energies of Earth, Water, Air and Fire. These are
essential energy building blocks which need to be in place to support the
physical manifestation of life. The element of Earth is connected with
physicality and materiality, the element of Water is connected with emotions
and feelings, the element of Air is connected with mental and thought
processes, and the element of Fire is connected with action and making things
happen. Lack of or imbalance of these energies can influence behavioural
patterns and affect our energy and physical bodies, sometimes affecting our
health.
Most people in Western societies hold a
number of energy blockages in their energy and physical bodies which affect
their behavioural patterns and their health. Relatively few Western people
reach the stage where all their chakras are fully developed and where they can
experience the subsequent spiritual awakenings as they feel themselves
reconnecting to the world all around.
