Every human being has 3 other “subtle bodies” in addition to the physical body that we see. Human beings are not simply material beings, but have many levels of subtle emanations that are as bodies around the physical existence. Our four bodies are as follows:

Physical body – contains physical parts such as organs. Problems in the physical body are studied and addressed by science and medicine.

Etheric or Energy body – the exact duplicate of the physical body, organs and all, but formed of energetic material, that completely surrounds and interpenetrates the physical organism. It is the electromagnetic energy system surrounding and interpenetrating the physical body. The etheric body has every organ and every part of the physical body replicated in energy material. It is the connecting link between the physical existence and the subtle or spirit aspect of life. Every gland in the physical body has a corresponding chakra or center that is the energetic component of the gland and in turn of the organ. The chakras are in the etheric/energy body. Most energy work such as pranic healing, reiki, acupressure, and acupuncture is performed on this body to clear and heal blocks.

Emotional or Astral body – made up of the sum total of all our emotions and feelings. The emotional body also has a set of duplicate and corresponding chakras in the emotional realm. Therapists that deal with the emotional state of their clients focus entirely on this body. Techniques such as EFT/EET are especially effective on this level.

Causal or Mental body – made up of the sum total of our thoughts and thinking processes, apart from the brain. The mental body is very complex, having also the corresponding chakras in mental material, as well as the subconscious mind and parts of the Antahkarana, or bridge to higher consciousness. The causal or mental body is healed through hypnotherapy, thetahealing, affirmations and breathwork.

Most healing modalities only work on one of these bodies, which eventually lead to recurring problems and patterns though there might be temporary relief initially. Therefore, for the most effective and permanent healing to occur, the healing work must be done on all four levels, otherwise known as the Integrated Healing Approach. At The Third Eye, healing is done on all four levels in order to heal the root cause of the problem while neutralizing the negative effects on all bodies of the individual.
