What is the Energy Body?

The energy body (also called the human energy field or luminous body) is the energy field that surrounds the physical body. It is made up of universal energy, also called the life-force energy.

Many cultures and traditions have described the energy body for centuries. Ancient Indian (Hindu) traditions describe this energy as 'prana' and use yoga practices to work with it. The Chinese describe it as 'qi' and use acupuncture and martial arts such as tai qi or qi gong to work with the energy. Ayurvedic medicine describes the Indian energy system of chakras, marmas or energy centers of the body. The Jewish Mystical theory of Kabbalah calls this energy 'astral light'. Native American, Buddhist, and Christian traditions also describe this energy field in detail.
