All living creatures are surrounded by their own energy field – also known as the aura or bio-energy field. The existence of this field around humans is accepted by the World Health Organisation and its image can be seen using special equipment.
In the East, this electro-magnetic energy system has been understood for centuries; the Chinese refer to chi and meridian lines and in the Indian culture, energy centres within this field are known as chakras.
When a person is healthy, their energy field also feels healthy, with no major imbalances and little trapped, or blocked, energy. By contrast, when a person has an injury or illness, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, imbalances that correspond to the nature of the issue are present in the energy field. The energy field influences, as well as being influenced by, our health.
