I talk a lot about subtle energy, and I wanted to take a minute and explore the meaning of subtle energy with you.  Subtle energy bodies, as described through the link via Wikipedia, are unconfirmed through science study.  Many different religions have coined the subtle body of energy through terms like: the resurrected body, the glorified body, the supracelestial body, the diamond body, the light body, the rainbow body, and the body of bliss.

In my personal experience subtle energy are these things and much, much more.  It is my belief that subtle energy is highly linked to emotions, our emotional body as well as our spiritual body or soul.  I believe even further that subtle energy studies are going to include intuition, psychic awareness, gemstone vibrations, emotional intelligence, and subtle energy movement.

Have you ever met someone you instantly didn’t like, but couldn’t identify why?  Only then to later find out, that person had done something horrible or represented something that didn’t align with your own belief structure?  This would be an example of what I call the emotional intelligence subtle energy body.  Some may simple call it an intuition, yet, intuition in my personal definition is based more on *flashes of insight* without any kind of emotion attached.

It may be safe to say that empathy, which is close to what I’ve described here, is a form of subtle energy as well.  Picking up on a stranger’s thoughts and feelings are often claimed, and I have this *gift* (although I’m not sure why we call it a gift).

In A Course In Miracles, it states:  Thoughts become words become actions.  What we think, becomes what we say, becomes what we do.  This is energy.  Thoughts, even further…. Prayers, manifestations, visualizations are energy in the subtle energy body that I’m writing about.  When this energy is placed with intention, it becomes.

The psychic phenomenon is incredible.  More and more people are becoming aware of spirits who have passed and are trying to communicate with us, which further proves subtle energy.  The Ghost Hunters, although not psychic, have used different tools to measure the subtle body energy with success and with scientific proof.  Go Grant and Jason!  You guys are doing fantastic work!

Gemstones have been known to carry different vibrations.  For centuries, gemstones have been used for their specific vibrations to cause a healing effect in the subtle energy body!  For instance, the most widely known gemstone with therapeutic benefits is turquoise!  The Native American tribes have used turquoise to relieve arthritis pain and other joint issues.

Reiki is a form of subtle energy movement through one’s body.  When I first began studying Reiki, I had flashes of insight that it was much more than I was being taught.  Reiki is known as the universal life force.  It is my personal belief that ALL the subtle energy movement therapies are the same thing with different methods.  Even further, when one steps outside the boundaries of Reiki, one can understand the vast and unlimited benefits of energy healing as a whole.

I’ve mentioned having *flashes of insight* a couple of times writing, and this is where I want to talk about intuition.  For me, intuition is precisely a flash of insight and information that moves so quickly one must only watch it and then remember it as best as one can.  There is no emotion attached to intuition, as it seems that intuitiveness comes from outside of us, or from a place we cannot control.  Many have called this guide communication (and I’ve just recently and hesitantly joined this movement).

Subtle energy can also be physically implemented through various complementary medicine and alternative techniques.  Acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, energy medicine, tai chi, exercise, and meditation are just a few examples of ways to get in touch with the subtle energies within your own body!

I hope to have either clarified what I’m referring to as subtle energies or peaked your own curiosity into becoming aware of your own subtle energies!
