The article below will discuss this.interesting phenomenon like the astral body. We will talk about what it is. How does it relate to body and soul? What can influence him? How can it be cleaned of negative energy, and what happens to it after a person’s death?
What is it - the astral body of man
Esoteric (however, many ordinary people in the lastthey begin to consider time in the same way) they believe that the physical, visible body of a person is far from being the only one. According to one of the common theories, there are several additional layers around the material. They are called subtle bodies or otherwise - energy. For most people, they are, of course, invisible.
Thus, man representsa multi-layered structure that is a complete indivisible system - all its parts must be in harmony with each other. Otherwise, dysfunctions of the body may occur on a physical or spiritual level, which often leads to great unpleasantness.
All people have, in addition to the material, 6additional bodies: ethereal, astral, mental and several others. They are superimposed on each other on the basis of the doll. The farther the body is from the center of the human entity, the thinner and more transparent it is, and the easier it is to damage it. Each of them is endowed with its own specific features and characteristics. But all of them can be controlled. In this article we will pay the most attention to the astral body. In addition, it is one of the most famous.
Astral body
So, we found out that it is the second in a row afterethereal. What features it is different. So what is it - the astral body of man? His other name is the emotional body, as it contains all the emotions and characteristics of our essence. It has a strong influence on emotions, but is itself exposed to them. Therefore, in mentally immature, especially young people, the astral body can look like a blurry cloudy cloud, while with the growth of emotional stability it becomes more and more transparent, clear and physical in its outlines. Thus, in a strong and charismatic person, the aura is much more powerful than in the weak-willed and characterless.
Origin of the term
The concept of the "astral body" comes from Plato's philosophy, where it is applied to the astral plane. In the nineteenth century, this term became widely used by theosophists and Rosicrucians.
The idea of numerous subtle bodies goes to the ancient religious notions that after death comes the afterlife, in which one of the elements of the essence of man continues to exist.
Main characteristics
Итак, мы с вами выяснили, что это такое - astral body. We continue. Aura surrounds the person at about thirty to forty centimeters. Although this characteristic may vary depending on the state of mind. After all, the slightest change in the emotional background modifies the astral body. The soul is clearly and clearly reflected in it. Sensitive people may feel the emotional projections of others, especially if they are negative outpourings, and especially receptive - even if the person has already calmed down after a surge of negative emotions. Thus, with the help of aura, we exchange energy with other people.
It is believed that the negative is expressed in this area inin the form of dark gloomy colors, and if a person is full of happiness and joy, it will be expressed in clear, sonorous colors. The main shade of the aura is silver, with small patches of blue and blue. Thus, most often it looks like a multicolored cloud, the outlines more or less resembling a person.
The formation of this thin body occurs between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one.
We get what we give
So, here are accumulated all the emotions of man, in thatincluding repressed fears and anxieties. From our very childhood, the emotional body absorbs a wide variety of emotions, resentment, stereotypes, and long-standing beliefs. Often, this information penetrates the outside world, conflicting with it. This is important to remember, since the astral body unconsciously transmits vibrations into the Universe, and their character directly depends on our emotions. It is believed that these messages attract positive or negative events to our lives, depending on what we broadcast. And if these vibrations are repeated for a period of time, then at this time we will all the time face certain situations, people and problems, constantly attracting them to us, without even noticing it.
Since our life is filled with emotions, the astralthe body is one of the most important components of human nature. It affects a person's mood during the day, in his view of the world and his own life. There is also no doubt that emotional stability also affects physical health, and it, in turn, affects the duration and well-being of life.
Two levels of emotional layer
By the way, there is a theory that in the astral plane emotions appear on the first, more superficial level. On the second - the deepest, deeper feelings are reflected, for example, love or happiness.
Training
In order to make your astral body morestrong and powerful, it, like the physical, must be subjected to constant training. So, his stamina can be achieved by increasing discipline and responsibility. However, these qualities in any case will not interfere with any one person. Also, developments in this area can be obtained during the fights verbal and emotional, when you have to defend their opinions and values, develop stamina and strength of mind. Of course, one should not forget about meditations, which in principle are useful for restoring and purifying the astral body.
Cleansing
Indeed, should be cleaned regularlythe emotional body is the same as the physical body. But how to do that? There are special techniques for cleansing the astral body, which imply complete relaxation and visualization. Of course, the focus in such exercises is on working with emotions. Some healers specialize in the purification of subtle bodies, but it is necessary to select professionals in this field with extreme caution.
However, there are more realistic methods.For example, control over your emotions in order to avoid further accumulation of negativity and neutralization of what is already stored in the aura. In the end, it is we who choose what our reaction will be to this or that event in the outside world.
You can try to take an observer position ina situation that causes you to have negative emotions, and evaluate it from the side. Perhaps this can change your attitude towards her. There is even such a thing as “the culture of the astral body”, which implies taking care of it and keeping it clean. It is worth remembering about her. After all, this body is a tool that connects us with the outside world on a more subtle level.
И, конечно же, следует обогащать его positive impressions and emotions that can be gathered from everywhere - from good books and films, music and visiting exhibitions, staying in nature and in the circle of native people. Such measures will allow not to pollute the thin bodies, and also heal the wounds caused by negative impressions. And do not forget that positive thinking in some cases is really useful and effective.
Exit to Astral
How can a person use the capabilities of hisastral body? This question probably interests many. In the esoteric, there is also such a thing as "astral projection." This is closely related to the so-called lucid dreams. Unlike the latter, where a person acts within the boundaries of sleep, without going beyond it, the projection assumes the very real separation of the ether part from the physical part.
Since the aura is able to move inthe space is incomparably larger, it allows the astral traveler to pass through walls, instantly move from one place to another and thus get to any point of the Universe inaccessible to us in reality. Although inexperienced travelers often move in space under the influence of astral currents, regardless of their own desires, but the ability to move at their discretion comes with experience.
Possible hazards
Но, как и осознанные сновидения, выход в астрал may not have the best consequences - various entities live in the astral. They may notice the traveler and follow him, perhaps not bringing real harm, but causing a lot of trouble. In addition, the astral body’s exit from the physical body for the first time can often not be accompanied by the most pleasant sensations. They sometimes turn people away from such experiences forever.
You can often hear stories about how a persongoes into the astral space by chance, without having the appropriate experience. Usually such spontaneous actions frighten and perplex travelers. But often the causes of such a strange state become clear, and one single exit becomes only the first astral journey on a long journey. Often this random hit in the subtle world is obtained soon after the accumulated practice of lucid dreaming. But this does not mean that such experience is obligatory before mastering the astral projection.
However, no less rarely do people try for a long timeto get into the astral, but the success of their attempts do not always end. It is not known what it depends on. There are a huge number of different manuals, courses and seminars that set out the practices of going out into the thin world, as well as safety techniques and experience of experienced travelers.
What happens after death?
According to different theories, the astral body after deatha person leaves the material shell at different times: someone claims that at the same time with the soul, someone - that forty days after his death. At that moment, the etheric immediately begins to collapse, and after 2-3 days it usually completely disappears. But the astral is separated somewhat later. In any case, sooner or later it falls into the first energy layer of the Earth, changing its shape and then falling into other worlds, depending on the nature of human life and death. However, there is also evidence that on the fortieth day after death the aura completely disintegrates.
