5 bodies concept - ARE YOU NURTURING ALL OF THEM?
RELATIONSHIPS
PHYSICAL BODY (made of matter)
A single structure comprises billions of smaller structures of four major kinds: cells, tissues, organs, and systems.
Task: being (existing)
MENTAL BODY (made of thoughts)
An amalgam of our core beliefs, values, and perceptions outlined by social and intrinsic programming.
Task: thinking
EMOTIONAL BODY (made of emotions)
The blueprint of our emotions, feelings, and relationship to all things.
Task: feeling
ENERGY BODY (comprised of chakras - energy centers)
Our own energy system & connection to the universal energy can be accessed through the collective unconscious & deep-dive
Task: manifesting
SPIRITUAL BODY (The Soul, Divine Consciousness, The Oneness)
The only permanent among all other bodies conditioned by ceasing to exist when we leave this dimension & planet.
Task: experiencing (oneself)
For the full optimal health - a synergetic and harmonious relationship among all the bodies is paramount.
Yet somehow, modern medicine scraps ONLY the surface and pays attention to 2 (max 3) bodies.
This is WHY so many diseases are left untreated. Even though symptoms are displayed in the, let's say, physical body - the actual root cause may be in the emotional one. It's not until we become FULLY AWARE of presence, tasks & needs of all of our bodies.
