In humans, apart from the physical, there are still three whole bodies. It is mental, astral and etheric. The astral body is a world of emotions, fears, experiences, complexes, aggression , etc. It is stronger than the remaining two bodies affecting our life in society.
By philosophers, the astral body of man is defined as the subtle matter between the physical body and the soul, and the first who uses this term is by no means a Buddhist, or a Hindu, but Plato. This was part of his theory about the world of planetary spheres.
What is the astral?
As we have already said, the human astral is the second, after the etheric, body. It surrounds us at a distance of 30-40 cm, in the shape of an oval. The astral aura (or emotional body) of every person is of different color and density. As the personality progresses, the development of the astral body also takes place. So, in people with persistent principles, plans, developed spirituality, the astral will be dense with a pronounced form and a translucent color. If a person lives at the crossroads of his changeable interests, desires and needs, his emotional body will be turbid, formless, heterogeneous.
Although we are born with an astral, it can and should be developed.
The function of the astral body is the interchange with the universe. We spread our emotions, experiences, fears through the astral into space, and then we get a mirror image of what we sent to him. On this principle, there are various visualizations and affirmations, when you get what you think about.
Also, thanks to the emotional body, we feel each other. If we are talking to a person who has something wrong, he does not need to cry and talk about his grief; we will perceive it with his astral and so on (unless, of course, we suffer from "astral blindness"). The astral aura is changeable, it is in constant motion. Our emotions and thoughts are changing, and the astral is changing too. Anger, fear, anger, irritation are expressed by murky, dark colors, and love, joy, fun - light, translucent colors.
Cleansing of the astral body
And now, about how to clean the astral body, because we will never see it, if we do not work on its quality.
Never, under any circumstances, divide your body into "interesting" and "not interesting". This applies to those who, carried away by ether and astral, believe that custody of their physical body is a waste of time. We are one and whole, we can not divide ourselves into "bodies."
Make your astral brighter and cleaner. For this, listen to pleasant music, records with children's laughter, read books in pleasure. In our body, there should be unimpeded circulation of energy. We need to visualize how the prana - life-giving energy flows through the channels. To do this, you need to do a simple exercise daily: imagine a golden cloud of energy above yourself. Breathe it and spread prana all over the body. 5 minutes of such cleansing of the astral body and there will be an exchange of heavy energy for easy, positive.
How to see the astral body?
First of all, assign the exact date "look". Prepare, rejoice, anticipate and cross out the days
Imagine that you have turned into the Sun - hot, sparkling. You feel good and warm. Now go back to the physical body, feel your "hands-feet". Close your eyes and see with your inner vision how your physical body radiates sunlight and heat. Repeat several cycles of rebirth from the Sun to a person, this helps to reveal the astral and teaches you how to get out of the physical world.
After mastering the previous exercise, try to leave the physical body without closing your eyes. You watch, and your astral walks around the room, looks and memorizes objects.
