A lot of us think that humans are solid beings. However, science tells us our bodies are mostly space. So, what exactly fills that space and animates us? It’s energy! In yoga, this unseen energy is called the subtle body. Experts suggest that getting hold of it can completely transform your practice. 

In this blog, Ekattva Yogshala will take a deep dive into the world of energy body anatomy. Also curious about how to harness energy for greater well-being? Don’t worry, we will also touch on how our yoga retreats can equip you with tools to explore this fascinating aspect of yoga. 

What is Energetic Body Anatomy? 

Let’s say your body is a vibrant city. In it, cars i.e. blood zip through a network of roads. Those roads are called veins and arteries. But there’s an unseen subway system too. This energetic subway (which is invisible to the naked eye) carries a vital current that keeps the city alive. 

Energetic anatomy is like studying this subway system. Understanding its stations and pathways will help you optimize the flow of energy throughout your body. In simple words, it can help you form a deeper bond with your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. 

What are the Keys Energy Systems of the Subtle Body?

To understand how this vibrant inner world functions in human anatomy, you need to explore energy systems that make it tick. The following systems, like the subway lines in our city analogy, have unique roles and pathways for keeping the energy flowing smoothly: 

1 Chakras

Chakras are the seven swirling vortexes of energy along your spine. Also called power centers, they govern various aspects of your well-being. Each chakra is linked to specific organs, emotions, colors, and even frequencies. When a chakra is balanced, the corresponding aspects of your life flourish. 

For example, a balanced heart chakra promotes feelings of love and compassion. Similarly, a balanced root chakra fosters a sense of security and stability. 

2 Meridians 

Ekattva Yogshala suggests thinking of meridians as an intricate network of energy highways that crisscross your body. They connect different organs and systems. Similar to acupuncture points, meridians have designated stops where blockages can occur. When energy flows freely through them, it means your overall health is optimized. 

3 Aura

Ah, the energetic fingerprint of a person… Aura is a luminous energy field surrounding your physical body. Often described as having various layers, it reflects the spiritual and emotional of human anatomy. Some individuals can even perceive the aura colors. These are believed to correspond to different aspects of your life and consciousness. 

Having a vibrant, expansive aura signifies you have a healthy and well-balanced energy system. 

4 Nadis

Finally, the next part of the energy system is nadis. Remember we talked about those smaller alleyways within the city? Nadis are those subtle energy channels! They weave throughout your body and connect various chakras and other centers. Having clear nadis simply translates smooth flow of energy throughout the human body.
