Human EnergeticsHugo Tobar

Energetic anatomy is the study and description of the human energetic structures. They are:

1. Chakras2. Meridians3. Nadis (which includes Kundalini)4. Aura5. Figure 8 energies (Webbing)

The aura relates to different bodies, dimensions or pla-nes, there are different models in understanding them, a widely used model is as follows:

1. Divine layer (Void)2. Monadic Layer (Vibration)3. Atmic layer Force or will)4. Buddhic layer (Archetypes)5. Mental layer (Thoughts)6. Astral layer (Emotions)7. Etheric layer (meridians, nadis & the Etheric web))8. Physical layer (Anatomy & Physiology)

Figure 1, Representation of the different ‘layers’ or bodies of the aura.

The fi gure 8’s are in fact a mesh like structure, which has been described like a webbing. This is why doing a small fi gure 8 motion over a scar or injury is very effective to doing a large fi gure 8 over a large part of the body such as the torso is effective as well.

Meridians are channels that a particular energy can fl ow through. There are two types of energy ‘Chi’ fl ows in the 14 meridians that have acupoints and ‘Jing” fl ows through the so called 8 extra meridians. The acupoints are like articulations, they can get clogged up, this causes imbalances in the energetic systems due to the blockage in the fl ow of chi.

Figure 2, Detail of an acupoint

There are 14 meridians that have acupoints, two of them are the principal meridians, they are called Conception vessel (Central Vessel or Central Ying) which is Yin and related to the brain (Cortex and limbic system) and Governing Vessel (Central Yang) which is related to the brainstem and spinal cord. After these two meridians there are 12 more, the order of which they fl ow is as follows:

1. Stomach2. Spleen / Pancreas3. Heart4. Small Intestine5. Bladder6. Kidney7. Pericardium8. Triple Heater9. Gall Bladder10. Liver

11. Lung12. Large Intestine

So the Chi that fl ows through these 14 meridians con-tains these 14 energies as its essence. These 14 energies together make a ‘whole’, they are complete and perfect. Together they make what is known as ‘Chi”. In fact the-se 14 ‘energies’ are in fact 7 energies each having a Yin (female) and Yang (male) aspect.

The fact that these 14 energies make a whole was no-ted by Richard Utt, the developer of Applied Physiology. This lead to the development of the Applied Physiolo-gy Hologram and to the concepts of ‘formatting”. These concepts were crucial to the development of Applied Physiology and post Applied Physiology developments such as SIPS, LEAP and Neuro Energetic Kinesiology.

The Applied Physiology Hologram relies on the princi-pal of Chinese medicine that within the part you can fi nd the whole, or in the microcosm is the macrocosm. Richard Utt has developed a whole system of under-standing human energetics based on the hologram. The holographic nature of the universe allows us to describe the ‘energies’ as a relationship between these 14.

Yogic techniques have been practised in India for thousands of years, hatha yoga, mudras are all ways of effecting the nadis and therefore the chakras. Nadis distribute energy between the chakras. Hatha yoga postures (asanas) effect the way prana fl ows through the chakras. Mudras are hand postures that mimic the effect of yogic postures.

Swami Satyananda Saraswati in his book on yoga called “A Systematic Course in the Ancient Tantric techniques of Yoga and Kriya” refers to mudras as “meditational

hand positions”. Mudra means attitude – so jnana mud-ra means attitude of intuitive knowledge (where jnana means intuitive knowledge).

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, attitude has the following meanings:

1. Arrangement of the parts of a body (posture)2. A mental position or feeling with regard to an

object3. The position of something in relation to

something else4. The position of an aircraft or spacecraft relative to

a reference datum (as the horizon or a particular star)

Yogic postures are called asanas. This word means ‘ a steady and comfortable posture’. Asanas can cause a free fl ow of prana in the Etheric body (pranamaya kosha). In the Etheric body nadis are the channels that have prana fl ow through them, nadi means psychic passage or fl ow. Chi (14 meridians) and Jing (8 extra meridians) are forms of prana that fl ows at a different frequency or dimension. These make up the different frequencies of the Etheric body that is bound together by the Etheric web (fi gure 8’s)

Figure 4, Representation of the nadi system

So when one adopts a mudra, a whole powerful array of psychic forces are accessed. With mudras we can access attitudes, postures and different aspects of nadi fl ow. According to Satyananda Saraswati, the mudras have symbolic meaning, “neuropsychic implications” and have power to “evoke forces within the individual”. Nadis course through the fi ngers, each fi nger has a po-larity, the thumb is neutral, this is how fi ngers are used in Kinesiology, in a TL, CL or in a fi nger mode.

Formatting allows the Kinesiologist to use combinations of mudras (fi nger modes) and acupoints. The concept was fi rst developed by Richard Utt from Applied Phy-siology, in courses such as “Applied Physiology and the Brain” and “Amino Acids”. Combinations of fi nger modes and acupoints are used, they can be held simultaneous-ly or sequentially. The kinesiological format enables an appraisal of the stress in the system, via the muscle test. The muscle test can indicate the level of stress in the system. There are 4 different possibilities:

1. No change (no stress)2. Indicator change, i.e. goes from a lock to an

unlock or an unlock to a lock (fi rst stage of stress also known as short term stress or fi ght fl ight)

3. Over facilitated / Under inhibited muscle (Second stage of stress also known as long term stress)

4. Under facilitated / Over inhibited muscle (Third stage of stress or exhaustion)

Using a combination of acupoints and fi nger modes, the energetic stress pattern of any anatomy and physi-ology can be accessed. If music is an analogy, then the fi nger modes and acupoints are notes and the format is a chord.

Chakras

Chakras are best described as interdimensional doors. They allow the passage of ‘prana’ between dimensi-ons.

Figure 7, Representation of a Chakra intersecting with a nadi

What is important to understand about chakras is that they allow a bidirectional fl ow of prana, one can give and receive energy through a chakra. This is like a door, one can enter and exit a room. These are the two aspects of a chakra:

1. Yin aspect (receiving energy)2. Yang aspect (giving energy)

Figure 8, Representation of a 4 petalled chakra showing the fl ow of energy in the balanced yin aspect (left) and

balanced yang aspect (right)

Each chakra is made up of a number of cones or petals as they are known in Vedic literature. Each cone has its individual issues associated with it, the base chakra has 4 cones. When they are all in balance they can give and receive energy when appropriate. Chakras and cones can take two different forms of imbalance, they are:

1. ‘over energy’ (OE)2. ‘under energy’ (UE) Under energy means there is a blockage in the energy fl ow through a cone or chakra.

Figure 9, Representation of Yin under energy (left) and Yang under energy (right) in the top cone of a 4 petalled

chakra.

What happens then is the particular cone or chakra is blocked from giving or receiving its particular energy. So yin under energy is characterised by not being able to receive, for example in the throat chakra it is not being able to hear what is being said. While yang under energy is characterised by not being able to give, for example in the throat chakra it is not being able to say what you want to say.

Over energy means there is too much energy fl owing through a cone or chakra.

Figure 10, Representation of Yin over energy (left) and Yang over energy (right) in the top cone of a 4 petalled

chakra.

What happens then is the particular cone or chakra is giving or receiving too much of its particular energy. So yin over energy is characterised by being obsessed about receiving, for example in the throat chakra it is being obsessed about what is being said. While yang over energy is characterised by giving too much, for example in the throat chakra it is talking too much about the issue.

This means there are six possible chakra states:

1. Yin balanced – being able to receive the energy in its correct amount when appropriate

2. Yin under energy – not being able to receive the energy

3. Yin over energy – obsessed about receiving the energy

4. Yang balanced – being able to give the energy in its correct amount when appropriate

5. Yang under energy – not being able to give the energy

6. Yang over energy – giving too much of the energy

The Energetic Moro & Relationships

Stephen Wolinsky in his book called “Intimate Relation-ships – Why they do and do not work” has an interesting theory that says at about 5 to 12 months of age the infant has a sudden realisation that they are separate from mom, this is a shock or trauma. The resistance to this shock or trauma affects all future relationships.

This led him to understand why relationships do not work

1. Misperceptions and relationship distortions2. Unrealistic expectations linked to the separation

response3. Confusions of the dimensions of manifestation

and awareness, caused by the shock response

The way out he says in his book can offer useful expla-nations to the following problems and questions

1. How and why you got where you are (determine where you are in a relationship and what is missing)2. The problems you are facing (why it does and does not work)3. Various remedies to deal with them (how to stop deceiving yourself by going into a trance which denies what is happening)

Stephen Wolinsky then defi nes the problem as an attempt to resolve the pain of separation, which occurs through the following steps”

1. Separation2. Resistance to separation3. Expectations of merger

He says that problems arise in relationships in order to resist past separation and strive for merger. What hap-pens then is that people will relate at one level but not another. Then what happens is that the awareness of other levels is lost or confused. Some examples of these that Stephen cites are:

1. I can relate at an emotional level but not at an intellectual level

2. I can relate in the external world, but emotionally the other is unavailable

3. We have a good sex life, but we have nothing to say to each other

4. There is something missing in the relationship but I don’t know what it is

He says that pain can be triggered by the past time shock of the realisation of separation, this could lead people to stay in relationships that do not provide nourishment for us to avoid:

1. Painful feelings2. Painful beliefs3. A poor self image

4. A fear of being unloved5. Pain of lovelessness6. Pain of worthlessness

The False Core – False Self

Stephen Wolinsky describes the false core as follows: “It is the one concept, the one idea, the one belief structu-re, we hold about ourselves, which organizes our entire psychology and gives us a reason for the separation.”

So often what happens is that people will seek rela-tionships or a specifi c type of individual that either reinforces the false core or with the expectation of overcoming and resisting the false core.

He describes the false self as follows: ‘The False Self is the strategy that we develop and use to overcome the false core’. He then says the following: “In relationships we oftentimes in the beginning present the False Self adaptive identity image automatically. Unfortunately, we forget, and so does our prospective partner, that the identity is fake, something that was made up, not real, a creation. As the years go by we wonder why we feel alienated and misunderstood in relationship, not realizing it is the result of being stuck in the False Core – False Self complex. More importantly our ‘new’ relati-onship partner feels confused too, why is se/he different from how they presented themselves (False Self )”

This is evident when for instance some one says “you are not the same person I married”. This happens in a marriage of false selves.

All of this comes from the sock of realisation of separa-tion, this is a shock to the base chakra, who am I? Where do I belong? Where do I fi t in? Coming out of your False Core – False Self complex, you can wake up and say why am I here? Why did I marry you?
