Our soul is composed of four bodies. Those bodies are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
We know about the physical and the spiritual, but not much about the other two the mental and the emotional, which are equally important, we don’t see them because they are found only in the subtle matter, a matter that has a higher vibration frequency beyond the one of our physical body and our sensory perceptions. All of these energies are regulated by our Creator to move around and through our physical body. The different energy layers are also known as a whole to form our aura.
Our mental body is the energetic part in which we store our fundamental beliefs about ourselves, about others and the world. It helps us process information, solve problems and generate abstract thinking. This is where our thoughts are produced or created in relation to our analytic reason, logic and everyday memory. It is because of our mental body that whichever feeling we think is positive such as love, will create the desire to reconnect with the people we love.
Also the mind retreats and distances itself in order to think better- because of this it always retains this primitive instinct of separation, comparing and contrasting the present situation with the memories of the past experiences, while trying to find a model or value with which it classifies the present situation. This also means that thoughts in our lower mind or the ego are always coming from the past to create a certain separation with the present. When we have clearly identified our negative thoughts and the patterns that generally limit our ability to evolve in life, we will begin to change our internal / external perception and vision of life, allowing ourselves to go with a greater clarity on the Divine unconditional love. When the mental body finally dissipates and no longer directs us, we can create a link to our heart and begin to follow our soul rather than our ego.
Our emotional body is the one through which we learn to manage our emotions in order to cultivate our emotional intelligence, the essence of our soul and the positive drive of our relationships with others. It is the center of our feelings and emotions: love and hate, attraction and repulsion.
When combined with our spirit, it brings us desire and imagination; it is also the location of sensual pleasure, and real appreciation. When we sleep, for example, we interpret our astral perceptions through our senses with dreams or nightmares. Our emotional body holds all the memories and experiences we have already experienced. We often refer to them as our ‘emotional baggage’. In reality the emotional body corresponds to our faculty of feeling emotions- in common language, the language of the emotional body is referred as the ‘heart’ and the mental body as the ‘head’. These labels correspond to the locations of the two different energy centers in our system. The emotional body is also known to be composed of a vortex of colors that identifies our aura, and the natural vibration of light from which all creation is expressed; certain shapes and colors represent emotional characteristics that are unique to each person. For example, an angry or aggressive person will have a lot of red around his aura whereas an intellectual person will project a large amount of yellow and a spiritual person from blue to violet and so on.
Our spiritual body is the one by which we appreciate all the Divine creation from the small leaf of a tree to the most beautiful stars and planets like the sun, the moon, and the stars. It is the link between our soul and the world. When the spiritual body is purified from limiting beliefs, superstitions, prejudices and negative perceptions of life, we can reconnect with God’s Divine Will. Our spiritual body is programmed by our Creator since birth to organize and vitalize the physical body and act as a bridge between the physical, mental and emotional bodies through our energy system. Our spiritual body reacts directly to prayer, acupuncture, yoga and meditation. Often, it is referred to as the body we are going to inhabit when we have evolved in full awareness and full enlightenment.
