Body Wonders

by Michael Curley

Our bodies are a wondrous creation, which contain a multitude of facets of which most of us are barely aware. This amazing vehicle, which we take for granted is a miracle of creation in itself, but when we look further and discover that we have in fact have several bodies, of which only one is physical, then our wonderment turns to awe. Until fairly recently the scientists, who demand proof of everything, denied the existence of these subtle bodies. However, with the advent of Kirlean photography enabling the human aura to be photographed, there can no longer be any doubt even to the scientists that there is more to the human body than meets the eye. Let's take a closer look (figuratively speaking of course).

The human aura is a band of energy, which extends out from the physical body anywhere from a few feet, to many hundreds of feet. It is constantly changing, and for those who can see and interpret its condition, it tells a story about the holistic condition of a person. A healthy person has an expanded aura, an unhealthy person, a contracted one. This aura is charged with energy, which can be seen as colours. In fact, whatever happens in the physical body, must first manifest itself in the aura. So "reading" an aura can predict illnesses before they actually occur. For a complete examination of the human aura, see Barbara Brennan's book "Hands of light".

The chakras are spinning, coloured wheels of light. You have seven major chakras and many more minor ones. These are energy centres which regulate the distribution of energy, or prana, or chi for use by the body. Without this prana, we would die. It is not food that keeps the body alive, but prana, and so the condition of the chakras is fundamental to the condition of the whole, holistic, person.

There are meridians, or energy lines criss-crossing the body. These are made use of by techniques such as Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Reflexology. Releasing blockages in the energy flowing around the body can cure illnesses without any recourse to drugs. I find it curious that what is now described as "alternative medicine" has in fact been around for thousands of years and is steeped in tradition, whereas modern medicine is very recent and is in fact a new alternative to traditional medicine.

The body contains positive and negative electrical charges. When there are blockages, or these electrical charges are out of balance, we can become ill. Rebalancing these charges can make us well again. Techniques such as Polarity Energy Balancing make use of this to heal.

Then there is the sacred geometry of the physical body. Are you aware of this:

The width of your outstreched arms is the same as your height. If you put your legs out to the side and stretch out your arms (like the upper set of arms in Leonardo's drawing), a perfect circle fits around your body with its centre at your navel. The human body is governed by the phi ratio (1.618). The length of each bone in the body has a phi ratio to the next bone. the same ratio occurs with all your fingers and toes. Nothing in the human body is arbitrary. The length of your hand in is a phi ratio to the length of your lower arm, as is the length of the foot to the lower leg bone, and so on throughout the body. The list goes on and on.

There are 100 trillion (100,000,000,000,000) cells in the average human body. When the human body is adult, it has to replaces two and a half million red blood cells every second of its life. For more information, see "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life", by Drunvalo Melchizidek.

The human being is a multi-dimensional, holographic entity which exists on many levels simultaneously, although we are normally only aware of out immediate physical surroundings and that which our physical senses can perceive.
