If you have been studying metaphysics for some time, you should be familiar with energy bodies. Think of them as being some of the parts that make up the energy essence of who you are. They encompass and affect everything you are: mind, body, soul, and help with your connection to others and to whomever or whatever you call your higher power. Through these energy bodies, you can obtain greater healing and understanding beyond what you might have thought was possible.

There are five energy bodies, or seven of them, depending on who you ask. I’m going to focus on five. They are Mental, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Ethereal. For today, we’re going to talk about the physical as that is the one that makes the most sense to us. The physical ethereal body direct connects to the body. It is a reflection of the physical body. There is one difference, however: the ethereal body is your ideal body. It is the blueprint for your optimum health. It is also where trauma can stored besides the physical body itself.

Most energy healers worth their salt will tell you that trauma hides in the body. When doing an energy session, the change in energy is noticeable. It can be subtle or obvious depending on how firmly stuck that energy is in the body and the sensitivity of the healer. As we also have an energy body that is directly connected to our physical bodies, we may decide to hold that stuck energy in our energy bodies instead. We can also hold thoughts, feelings, and beliefs there as we can in our physical bodies. It may be possible that if we have pain in our flesh and blood body, it could be due to the energy we store in our ethereal body.

If you or a client has a lot of physical pain and repeated sessions haven’t made a significant difference, scanning the physical energy body for negative energy related to it may be an option. I’m not saying it’s the only option, but keep it on the list for places to check. It could hold the answer you’re looking for, and/or it may allow you to find hidden energy subtly affecting the situation of which you were not previously aware.

Working with energy bodies is easier if you’re sensitive to energy. Each energy body you have vibrates at a slightly different frequency than the others. It helps if you can tell them apart, and when you have chosen to bring one forward to work with it, it’s helpful if you can find energy within the energy body that doesn’t belong there. I know it’s complicated. For those of you who aren’t there, you aren’t out of luck. This is where you can use your pendulum or muscle testing to ask questions such as, do I have negative energy stored in my energy body related to this issue? If yes, the next step is to find out where it’s stored. Then, you ask if the energy is stored in a specific body part. Start with the feet and work your way up.

To clear things in your physical energy body, you set the intention to connect to it by touching your flesh and blood body to clear it out. So if muscle testing says the energy is stuck in the abdomen of your energy body, you set the intention to connect your physical flesh body to your physical energy body, and you would focus your healing energy on your flesh abdomen to send that energy to the energy abdomen. I hope that made sense. You use the physical body to heal the energy body to heal the physical body. It’s a bit convoluted, but unless you can work directly with the energy as a separate-from-you entity, that’s probably the easiest way to do it.

Now, why do we want to do this again? Working with your physical ethereal body allows you to work on physical pain wherever the energy of it happens to be stored. We are multi-layered beings. Traumas, whether subtle or life-changing, mark us. It leaves an energy stamp on us. It can be so large that it prevents us from moving forward in our lives. We might even feel it. Sometimes we can identify it, sometimes we can’t. Am I saying that working with your physical ethereal body will solve all your physical issues? No. There are many reasons and many energies that impact us. However, removing any negative issues in the physical energy body will get you closer to your goal of healing. It’s one less obstacle and anything that can make the path smoother is worth it.
