Most often in the construct of our very material-centered world, the subtle body gets forgotten and the physical body demands the only focus because it is the most tangible, dense, and recognized. Because they are so ultra-fine and appear almost hidden, we can miss out on the extraordinary powers of the subtle body, which consists of several energy channels. They work in between the physical and the spiritual realms, not easily perceivable by the five senses.
Discovering and working with the subtle body is like revealing a set of magical keys to unlock this technology we call the human being. Tapping into the subtle body requires stillness, awareness of self, and time. But once you tap into it, you realize how immense of an effect it has on all layers of the body, including the physical layer.
I have been massaging for years, and oftentimes people come in looking for the release of stress and tension in the physical body by asking for the hardest pressure, wanting to be tenderized like a piece of meat. I can’t tell you how many people essentially want to get beaten up. No pain, no gain is the erroneous thinking. Of course, there could be a time and place for this type of therapy depending on the person’s needs.
But let me tell you, there is another way, and it is a more potent, holistic way.
What’s fascinating about the subtle body is that because it is less solid, it doesn’t take much force to make big changes like it does for dense energy (i.e. the body). Think about the difference between moving a tree versus moving a thought - which one happens quicker and with less energy? In addition, the subtle body directly impacts the physical body, literally making changes at the quantum level. Everything is energy, nothing is truly solid, just different levels of density, vibrations, and frequency.
Having bodywork that also focuses on and recognizes the subtle body and all of its energy channels (marmas, chakras, nadis, etc) opens up the door for a highly impactful and blissful session that provides deep release of held stress and trauma in all layers of the body, facilitates the movement of live-giving prana throughout the tissues, and positively influences the higher consciousness of our being.
