WHAT IS NUTRITION? Subtle body anatomy.
______________Lesson 3 ________________
Today’s article is about different types of energy, energies that give us life. According to Energy medicine, a person is a product of the interaction of two basic energies:
• Energy of the universe
• Energy of the Earth
But what are these energies? And how do they affect a person?
If we look at energy from the Chinese Medicine point of view, then we can conclude that there are 2 basic energies: yin and yang. In Ayurveda, we can find the same principle: here the two energies are described as the energy that comes from the sun and the moon, the Ida and the Pingala.
If we would go even further and look at the energies according to the Law of Duality (one of the 5 universal laws, more information on the 5 laws: http://livingwisdomacademy.com/en/programs/mindfulness/5-universal-laws/),
there are two kinds of opposite energies: Male and Female. So as you can see, all sources of Ancient Wisdom and Energetic Medicine speak about the same, using other words.
ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE:
• This is the descending flow of energy, which comes from the universe.
• This is the Yang energy
• It is the male polarization. And are the qualities of a harmonious man.
The power of activity and action, thought and idea.
• If we look at this energy from the notion of modern medicine - this energy is very consonant with the functions of the left brain hemisphere. The electrical energy of thought, logic, and mathematical abilities.
• If we look at this energy from esotericism, which says that by this energy we are connected with our Creator or the Higher Self. And that this energy gives us energy for existence.
ENERGY FROM THE EARTH:
• This is the ascending flow of energy, which comes from the core of the earth
• This is the Yin energy
• Women's polarization. And are the qualities of a harmonious woman, the power of receiving (the chalice), materializing, a mother, nurture, intuition, creation and creativity, passivity and rest. The functions that are coordinated by the right brain hemisphere.
• Esotericism considers this the energy that allows us to materialize everything in this world.
These two vertical streams are the most important energy givers. And when these streams are violated/blocked, all troubles and misfortunes occur in our life.
But next to these vertical streams or energy, two other horizontal streams of energy exist.
A flow of energy that we RECEIVE from:
• nutrition
• education
• culture and art
• positive contact with people
And a flow of energy that we GIVE to people and the energy sea we live in, in the form of charity, help, care, and compassion.
So we can conclude that if we look at a harmonious person, we will see that all the 4 flows need to be present for balance. And that all 4 energy flows form a cross, that crosses in the region of the heart chakra. Does this sounds familiar?
That's why we find this cross as a symbol everywhere: in religions and in ancient healing sciences. For example, the cross in Christianity, the Maltese cross and the Star of David, to give a few.
It is a symbol of health, happiness, and prosperity. A symbol of a harmonious person.
I want to give you homework: Think about your own flows of energies and where blockades could be occurring.
And in the next article, we'll talk about signs which indicate disharmony.
