The seven spiritual bodies.


Sometimes we wonder about what and who we really are. In the search for answers, we ended up finding a thousand more questions. The fact is that many people only look at the physical and forget to look at the spiritual bodies.


Have you ever heard of Subtle Bodies, which are nothing more than the existence of several bodies within ours? While many people only consider the existence of our physical plane, today we will delve into the spiritual field and help you understand a little more about the fullness of humanity and your bodies and levels of consciousness!


What are spirit bodies?


The human being is composed of the physical body and the Subtle Bodies: the total number of spiritual bodies of an individual is seven! In addition to the physical and the soul, there are five other bodies — also called levels or dimensions — that are essential for human matter to be able to support all the spiritual energy that reaches us directly. It's as if the dimensions act like a filter that protects our physique and keeps us "whole" and connected to everything we can't see.


These bodies are with us throughout our lives and work together, even if they are in different dimensions. They complement each other, providing a greater depth of being in front of the entire Universe.


Discover the Seven Subtle Bodies below and learn everything about them:



First, you must let go of the idea that we are just flesh. There's a lot more you need to discover to understand what it really is and how it works. The seven bodies of every human being: physical, etheric double, astral, lower mental, higher mental, buddhi, atma or spiritual - each of them is composed of specific functions that complement each other.



1. Physical body

This is nothing more than the body that we can see. The physical body is matter and everything that is part of it: skin, cells, organs, etc. It has the function of receiving energy and information from the plane above it. It's like a garment that we receive when we incarnate in this world. For this reason, we must accept it, take care of it and always keep it in good condition, even if we are “with it” temporarily. As this body is visible, it is the only one of the subtle bodies studied and accepted by most scientists.


2. Etheric double body

It cannot be seen, only felt. It is made up of chakras, aura and nadis, thus being considered a bioelectromagnetic body. Because it is formed by a large amount of energy, it has a shiny appearance that can be blue or orange. When broken, it can interfere with the individual's life, as it is not renewed and cannot be renewed — unlike the physical. The etheric double body of an individual is the same throughout his or her trajectory on earth.


3. Astral body

Many people call it the soul, but in fact its name is the astral body. This body undergoes changes in its appearance in the course of its energetic journeys and is extremely sensitive - it is responsible for our feelings and desires. When we sleep, our physical body rests, while the astral body travels! Do you know what we call a dream? In fact, it is a journey of this body, but because we are not aware of these bodies and we have not yet evolved to that point, we remember only small parts of what was dreamed and we call such a journey a “dream”.


4. Lower mental body

It's not the brain, but our mind! The lower mental body organizes everything we think so that our thoughts are then manifested by the brain. He is the rational body that deals with our cognitive issues, evaluates our attitudes and absorbs our material attachments. What we think and feel tends to be fixed in this body.


5. Higher mental body

This body is practically a repository of memories of all our lives. It holds countless abstract ideas and concepts and is considered the source of intuition, creativity and desires - it still has a strong connection to the individuality of being and is the source of past experiences that need resolution.


6. Buddhi

Also known as the cosmic body, it has no connection or relationship with time. Among all the subtle bodies, in the buddhi is found real wisdom. He is the height of enlightenment that is hardly reached, but he is connected with all things and is extremely far from the physical plane and human beings' ability to understand. Even if it is still little known, it is the level that many people try to reach through spiritual and mental evolution.


7. Atma or spiritual

Of all bodies, this is the highest and is above all planes. Taken as pure consciousness, it is formed practically by light and is the apex of spirit enlightenment. Many know it as the Divine Self or Spirit of Essence. He is the deepest connection with the Divine and the Universe and can be called the “coordinator of all bodies”.


As you can see, there are levels of consciousness and planes that we don't have easy access to. The quest for understanding the human being is practically endless, but the more we know our own being, the more we will be on the path of evolution. The seven bodies work together and are always operating so that we remain firm, strong and in search of light and wisdom!
