Learn More About The Spiritual Anatomy

We may know about various anatomies, like our physical anatomy or anatomy of plants. However, do we know that we have a spiritual anatomy that interpenetrates all aspects of our lives. From auras to chakras and everything in between (even the hidden ones!), you will learn more about how this anatomy works for us and lives within us.

Transcript

Hello,

Hello and welcome back to this audio podcast here on Insight Timer.

Today I'm going to be talking about and sharing information about the spiritual or the energetic anatomy.

We usually tend to think about anatomy in regards to the physical body,

Like the physical anatomy.

So we know what those things are,

Right,

The head,

The neck,

Arm,

Shoulders.

And then of course,

If you go in deeper to the layers,

There's the bones and even more layers,

There's the tissue,

Even more layers,

There's the blood,

Even more layers,

There's the DNA,

Right?

So we have,

We know that there's this physical anatomy that in many ways,

Even if you aren't a scientist,

You still know a lot about the physical anatomy,

Maybe not the specific details on like the micro,

Micro,

Micro,

Micro like organisms,

Or like sometimes even like the like official names for things.

But we have an understanding that there's this physical body that has bones and muscles and other things connected and everything connects together.

In the same way,

We have this spiritual anatomy,

Or this energetic anatomy that we also need to tap into that also has these different levels and layers that if we know how to really use them and connect with them,

We can really create a world of possibilities for our lives.

I think most of us know about the aura.

We talk about,

Oh,

There's the aura,

You have to find ways to tap into your aura and maybe see the color of your spiritual aura to know if you're on track with something or if you're spiritually connected.

We might even know about the chakras,

Which is the next level or layer beyond the aura,

These energetic centers around the aura,

Within the aura and the physical body that we are all connected to.

And usually we think about the chakras as usually being seven chakras.

However,

Again,

Today's talk is about the spiritual anatomy and going deeper into that.

So I'm going to probably blow your mind in some ways in regards to talking about the spiritual anatomy.

The first thing I'm going to share is that there's actually more than just seven chakras.

Shocker.

Oh my gosh.

So why then have we just been told that there are seven chakras?

Because it's easier to digest and understand that way,

Because there's other seven things in our lives,

Right?

Seven days of the week,

Seven colors of the rainbow.

Okay,

So these sevens kind of pop up.

So let's connect this seven number to the chakras too,

Because this is easy,

Especially for Westerners to digest and other parts of the world,

Eastern traditions,

They know that there's more than seven chakras,

But for the Westerners,

Usually it's like,

Oh,

Seven chakras,

But there's more.

But in order for Westerners to digest certain things that had to connect it to certain things that they already know.

So they connected the chakras to it just being a seven chakra system.

They also did that because if you knew that there were more than seven chakras and your knowledge was expanded,

Certain people would take advantage of that and use the chakra system in a negative way and use it for their own good and try to manipulate people.

So it was only given to the Western world as seven chakras,

Because that's what they could digest at the time.

And it was also used as a form of protection.

In the same way,

There's when it comes to teachings,

There's like the inner teachings and the outer teachings of things.

So we're going to use the example within Christianity.

That's how I grew up.

That's my foundation and base.

I grew up in a Christian household,

Specifically Baptist Christian household,

And in regards to Christianity,

Like we are taught most of us in the Christian world are taught the outer teachings of Christianity,

Meaning,

Of course,

There's the Bible.

You know,

People translate things from the Bible or they look at the Bible and think about it or try to sift it based off of their own understanding and then try to deliver it to other people in their own understanding.

However,

There are these other like hidden teachings of Christianity that most folks don't really know.

Even Jesus said it himself.

He said to the masses,

I give parables,

But he said to disciples,

I give you the keys to the kingdom.

That's the inner teachings versus the outer teachings.

The outer teachings are parables for people that can digest it easily,

That have a basic understanding of things that really can't go too deep.

However,

The disciples are very close to him.

He gave them much more knowledge to spread the teachings and much more dominion over the teachings,

The work and ownership of it so that they can spread it throughout the world.

So in the same way that's happening to or that has happened rather with the spiritual anatomy and the chakra system.

So there are more than seven chakras.

There are,

I'm trying to determine if I'm going to share this,

But I am because this is a spiritual anatomy talk.

There are actually hundreds of chakras in the body.

However,

If we just look at the major chakras,

You actually have 12 major chakras in the body.

There's 12,

So not seven.

There's actually 12 major chakras in the body.

I also want you to think about this talk specifically because I know some of this stuff,

Your mind might be blown.

Some of this stuff is like,

Well,

I don't believe this.

I can't believe this.

What you're saying isn't right.

I'm going to tell you that this is another level or layer of truth based off of the universal truth because we have to realize that there are these multiple levels of truth.

There is multiple levels of the truth and we see that in many aspects,

Even in things like for example,

Math,

Because you can say two plus two is four,

Which is great,

But like does only two and two equal four?

That wouldn't be right.

Two and two equals four.

Yes,

That's one truth.

Yes.

But saying only two plus two equals four is correct because you can also get the number four by doing what?

Doing two times two,

Four times one,

Eight minus four.

There are these other ways,

These other truths to get to the answer.

I will say what I'm going to be sharing are just all the layers of truth and if they resonate with you,

Great.

If they don't,

That's okay.

Humans usually tend to focus on what they're told as being first as to usually being the first and only truth.

Usually sometimes it takes multiple times or multiple ways for things to be said or done for people to break out of their first way,

Only way version of things to understanding that there were actually multiple ways or maybe even perhaps the way they were taught were wrong and that there's maybe a right way to do things.

I'm just going to be giving you things based off of these multiple levels or layers of truth and you can take it or not.

It's up to you.

Again,

There are 12 major chakras in the body and I don't really have time to break down all the other chakras that we have in the body that are connected with an energy system,

But I will talk to you about these 12 and I will point or tell you,

I can't point,

I'm pointing to them,

But you can't see me obviously.

This is a podcast,

But I will tell you where they are in the body.

There's one chakra,

Which is usually considered to be like the first chakra in the chakra system,

Which is the root chakra.

That's in between the ass cheeks,

Like that coccyx area,

The coccyx bone area.

That's one chakra.

There's another chakra that's called the sex chakra,

Which is in the genital area.

That's another chakra.

There's another major chakra in the stomach or the navel called the navel chakra.

There's another chakra behind that.

So if you think about where the navel is,

But going to the back of the body where the spine is,

Directly behind the navel in that area,

The lower back,

There's another chakra there called the menganin chakra.

There's the solar plexus chakra,

Which is in the soft spot in the chest,

Which is kind of in between the stomach and the hard part of the chest where the sort of heart ribs area is.

That soft spot in the center is called the solar plexus,

The front solar plexus.

There's the back of that part,

Which is the back solar plexus.

There's the heart chakra,

Which is the front heart,

Which is essentially where the mid part of the chest is.

There's the back heart,

Which is the back part of that.

There's the throat chakra,

Which is at the throat area.

There is the ajna chakra,

Which is in between the eyebrows.

There's the,

Let me back up a bit.

The ajna chakra in between the eyebrows generally is considered to be the third eye.

This is incorrect.

I'm sorry to say this is incorrect.

The ajna chakra in between the eyebrows generally tends to deal with your willpower and focus on getting things done.

That's that part of the sort of chakra system.

The chakra above that,

Which is the forehead chakra,

That is where the true third eye is.

Again,

Certain chakras are hidden and we're initially told because people couldn't handle them and they might abuse them.

So the actual third eye chakra is actually on the forehead.

That is the place for a higher intuition for essentially like when you receive sometimes divine words or divine energy,

Which comes through the top of the head,

Which is the crown chakra.

It sometimes comes through this third eye chakra down to that part to sort of sift things out and sort of get clarity on really what the meaning is,

Which then from there goes to the ajna chakra,

Which gives us the details on really what that is.

So the forehead chakra is actually the true third eye chakra.

So those are the chakras.

I said it already,

The ajna,

The forehead,

Which is the third eye,

Top of the head,

Which is the crown.

And then there's a chakra above that,

Which is considered to be the 12th chakra,

Which is about 12 inches above the crown chakra.

So it might be counting and saying,

This is actually maybe more than 12 chakras.

It sounds like it,

However,

The front and back of the chakras,

Like the front and back solar plexus chakra,

The front and back heart chakra,

Those are considered to be like one chakra,

Because they're very well connected.

It's just the front part of it and the back part of it,

Which makes it 12 if you sort of count each one individually in regards to it being from the basic chakra or the root chakra from the buttocks area all the way to the top,

It's 12.

If you include the front and back parts of the chakra,

Like the heart chakra,

The solar plexus,

If you include those to be one chakra.

So 12 major chakras of the body,

Right?

Already mind blown.

Sharing something else.

We think that there's only one aura.

Incorrect.

Again,

Different levels of truth.

There is an aura.

Yes,

Correct.

Is there only one aura?

No,

Incorrect.

Multiple levels of truth.

There are many layers of the aura.

Over 85 levels and layers of the aura.

Not going to get into all of them today.

It's going to get into some of the major parts of the aura.

So one part of the aura,

Which is called the etheric aura,

The etheric aura is the aura that is deeply connected to our physical body.

So usually when folks talk about the aura,

They're usually talking about just this etheric aura that is just around the physical body,

Which is essentially the energetic formation exactly or imprint of the physical body.

So that's the etheric aura.

There's the next level after that,

Which is bigger around the etheric aura,

Which is called the astral aura or sometimes called the emotional aura.

So it deals with the emotions.

Then there is another layer around that called the mental aura.

Deals with the mind and the thoughts.

Those are the three main auras,

The etheric,

The astral or emotional,

And the mental auras.

So if we are able to understand this now and to know this now that you do know this,

And if you say,

Hey,

Okay,

Oh my gosh,

I feel like I'm just overwhelmed.

I just don't know what to do.

Oh my gosh.

You say,

Okay,

Well I know that there is a mental aura.

So if I try to focus and take some deep breaths or some of us use essential oils,

If we use essential oils and we imagine or focus on this third level or layer of the aura,

You notice that your mind will be much,

Much,

Much,

Much,

Much calmer than if you did it without focusing on the mental part of the aura.

In the same way,

If you're saying to yourself,

Oh my gosh,

I just feel so tired.

I just feel so drained.

I don't know what to do.

If you focus on the navel,

Because the navel has to do with energy and vitality,

You focus on the navel chakra,

Do some deep breaths that will begin to re-energize you.

But again,

Like if we don't know these things,

We don't understand how the spiritual anatomy works.

We only understand it based off of what we've been taught in our limited nature and our limits away.

We really won't be able to affect deep change within ourselves.

Like yes,

Change will still happen.

Even if you felt overwhelmed,

You didn't focus on the mental aura,

You still took some deep breaths.

You still use your essential oils to help.

It would help.

Yes,

It will help for sure.

But the effect would be much deeper if you knew,

Oh,

There's a mental aura.

Let me focus on the mental aura as I'm doing this.

Okay,

I need some energy.

Opposed to me just maybe trying to tell myself I'm energized and focused.

I'm energized and focused.

If you focus on the navel chakra and do that,

That will also create some energy.

It's so interesting.

So realizing that there are these different parts of ourselves,

They're all connected in the same way,

But they're also separate.

So if you're in this moment where it's like,

Oh,

Okay,

I'm having a moment,

Like,

How am I feeling?

What's happening?

What am I doing?

You can tap into each part of these auras to sort of figure out what's happening and to figure out maybe which one is quote unquote malfunctioning.

So I'll give you an example based off of my own experience.

So I know for me at one point in my life,

I was heavily involved in teaching,

Specifically dance teaching.

And I was like,

Okay,

This is great,

But I feel like I desire something more.

So then I stopped for a bit,

And then have the opportunity to get back into it.

And I was like,

I don't really know.

But I felt very,

Very conflicted.

I was like,

Why am I feeling so conflicted?

Like,

Is it a yes or no?

I said,

Okay,

Well,

I know that there are these different auras.

Let's tune into these auras and see what's happening.

Come to find out my etheric aura,

The aura closest to the physical body.

That was the one that was like had major,

Major resistance,

Major resistance,

But the emotional mental aura like,

Hey,

Sure,

Let's do it.

That's great.

So I was like,

Okay,

So now I sort of know what's happening,

Where it's coming from.

Now,

How do I affect change,

So that all the auras can be in alignment?

Because here's the thing is that sometimes we feel so conflicted or sometimes so confused about things is because different auras,

Different chakras are giving us different information.

But in order for us to be deeply centered and balanced,

That moment or those moments are usually when all the auras all the chakras are connected and giving us the same message and same answer.

So there are different ways that you can have each chakra,

Each aura be as effective as possible to give you your desired result.

So I'm not going to go over the different ways to do that with the chakras,

Because that is going to be a very long,

Long talking podcast.

And this one has already been fairly long,

But I'm just going to give you different ways you can do that in regards to the auras.

So how you can balance and focus your auras to really get to a place where you can understand more of what's happening in your life and to have true divine censoring.

So if we think about it,

Let's say in regards to the etheric,

So that's the aura closest to the physical body,

You can do power poses,

Power poses.

So if you look up power poses on YouTube,

You might find a video by someone called Amy Cuddy.

So Amy last name,

Cuddy,

C u d d y.

She did a TEDx talk on power poses and the science behind it.

So you might want to go check that out.

She gives some detail in regards to how that works and how it can be effective for us.

But doing power poses is one way to help affect the etheric body to find a state of balance and center when you're noticing that maybe you have like some resistance towards something or some fear towards something.

Getting the physical body into a particular shape really helps to affect the physical body,

But also starts to align the other parts of the psychology to help you move forward and to make the best decision.

So power poses.

One of my favorite ones that I really enjoy doing is called the Wonder Woman,

Where you put your hands on your hips.

So you put your actually put your hands in a fist first,

Put the fist on the hips and you look up into the sides like you're a superhero,

Like Wonder Woman.

That is powerful.

You stay like that for two minutes and all these amazing things within the neurology takes place to help you feel more confident,

Feel more powerful.

Sometimes I tell my clients to do this.

If you're about to go in to your boss and ask for a raise,

You hit that hit that position for two minutes and that helps to boost your confidence,

Boost your testosterone level to really give you a sense of like strength and power.

So that's for the etheric.

Something you can do for the emotional part of you is you can really focus on the things that you love.

Like what are some things that you have a deep passion for?

Like do that.

That will help to reset your emotional aura and to help you really find a balance and joy within your emotions,

Within your emotional aura.

Something you can do for your mental aura to stimulate the mind is what are some of the things that you feel like you can do to help your mind find a sense of deep balance,

Deep sensory.

Really it tends to be,

First thing you think about or it's something that I tell my clients to do first off is to breathe.

Focus on the breath.

Something called square breathing is helpful,

Like taking deep breaths in for four counts,

Pausing for four counts,

Breathing out for four counts and then pausing again for four counts.

That is very powerful to help really calm and balance the mind when you feel like you're going crazy.

Your mind's all over the place.

And then I'm going to give you a bonus because there's the three auras that I mentioned,

But then there's this other layer of us.

You can call it another aura,

Another dimension.

Again,

There's many other dimensions,

But here's a bonus,

Which is at the soul level.

So beyond after you reach the mental aura,

There's another level,

Another aura there,

Which is like the soul level,

The soul connection.

So something you can do to connect to your soul,

Which also helps to ultimately connect you to your spirit is simply doing meditation.

And of course you being here on Insight Timer,

You might have some experience doing that.

Maybe just a bit of experience doing some meditation here on Insight Timer.

Doing meditation really helps to connect you at your soul and spirit level,

Which then also helps to affect all the other auras to find a sense of deep balance and deep peace and deep focus as well.

So I hope this talk on the spiritual anatomy was helpful.

I feel like this within itself can be its own course talking about the spiritual anatomy and how it can work best for us.

I believe that a course like this is something that I may want to do in regards to maybe like a live session here on Insight Timer,

Because I feel like I need to show pictures and diagrams and you see my body so I can sort of see where I'm pointing to different things,

Different parts of the body to connect to different parts of the chakras and everything.

So yeah,

That will be a more intensive process.

So if that's something that you're interested in,

Let me know in the comments and maybe that's something I can do.

I can offer like a two hour course on the spiritual anatomy and how you can use it for your benefit.

So thank you for tuning in for today and I'll see you next time.

Bye bye.

Reviews

This is such a wonderful teaching. Will you please make it a series and go in depth about all of the spiritual anatomy? I really feel that I would benefit strongly from such deep knowledge and I know that I am not the only one who craves to know more about themselves. Thank you so much in the meantime for sharing what you have. You are truly a blessing, Kadeem One! 🙏🏼
