Term used to denote vital forces which permeate the physical body. Also known as an aura.
Astral or dream body (state of mind).
The first band of the aura, which is an exact duplication of the physical body but vibrating at a higher rate and invisible to the eye.
The subtle body most closely associated with and enmeshed within the physical body. Also often called the energy body, etheric sheath, vitality sheath, vitality body, or perispirit. The etheric body can also be said to be the essential glue-like substance, that binds an incarnating spirit to the flesh of their physical body. Parts of the etheric body can be seen with clairvoyance (or auric sight) as extending an inch or so out from the physical body, as a band of pale-blue or off-white mist. Also see: Etheric Matter.
A structure intermediate between the Astral Body (q.v.) and the physical body. It is an energy-network which linkes the physical body to the corresponding astral, mental and spiritual bodies, and thus literally keeps it alive.
Energy fields of body originating from physical body.
The physical body of a human being is, according to occult teaching, formed of two parts: the dense physical body, and the etheric body. The dense physical body is formed of matter of the three lowest (dense) subplanes of the physical plane. The etheric body is formed of the four highest (etheric) subplanes of the physical plane.
the non-physical soul body.
The energetic counterpart of the physical body, composed of seven major centers (chakras) and 49 minor centers, a network which connects all the centers, and infinitesimally small threads of energy (nadis) which underlie every part of the nervous system. Blockages in the etheric body can result in physical illnesses.
A term sometimes used to refer to the Astral Body, but which actually refers to that vehicle or body whose density lies between that of the astral and physical bodies.
The etheric body, ether-body, æther body, or vital body is one of the subtle bodies in esoteric philosophies, in some religious teachings and in New Age thought. It is understood as a sort of life force body or aura that constitutes the "blueprint" of the physical body, and which sustains the physical body.
