Our four bodies: why are they important? Find out

June 21, 2023 0 Comments

Humans are spiritual beings composed of more than the material bodies we can all see. Here we will tell you about the four decks that surround our soul, which serve as a vehicle for its journey through time and space.

Knowing our composition is essential to understanding who we are and our mission on earth, as well as creating awareness to pay attention not only to our physical but also to our minds, emotions, and soul or spirit. Here we detail what these four different bodies are and their importance.

Many times, despite our change, we feel empty, disconnected, and misunderstood. It may be time to ask yourself why all this happens. Why do we resign ourselves to living «semi-happy», in a constant internal struggle, and far from our essence?

1- Etheric or spiritual body 

It is the first quadrant of matter and an intermediary between the intelligent soul and the physical body. Its element is fire and is the first quadrant of matter and maintains the divine project because it represents the perfect image of Christ to be materialized in the material world.

This is where our true essence lies, where we reconnect with ourselves and everything around us. Being in contact with this part of our being brings us balance and tranquility. We do not feel fear, and we are filled with love and trust in the higher self. On the contrary, not being in contact with our spiritual body can bring us mental blocks and lead us to experience anxiety, depression, and a lack of connection.

What to do to improve our etheric body:

• Practice meditation and deep breathing
• Work energy with pranic healing, Reiki acupuncture.
• Connect with yourself, can be in retreats
• Practice gratitude, humility, and generosity.

2-  Mental or psychic body

It is the second quadrant of matter and is made up of the air element. It is meant to be the vehicle for the mind of God. It is shaped by our beliefs, desires, attitudes, judgments, prejudices, values, and goals.

Our mental body also includes how we process information and use words, which is the fundamental element for our thoughts to become a reality. 

When we keep our minds healthy, we become proactive beings capable of solving physical or emotional problems, helping others, and maintaining healthy communication. On the other hand,  when it is not balanced, we experience low self-esteem and lack of purpose, among other problems.

What to do to improve our etheric body?:

• Reading and learning new things
• Having conversations with emotionally intelligent people
• Meditating and practicing positive thinking mantras
• Learning to channel thoughts

3- Emotional body

It corresponds to the third quadrant of matter, and its element is water. It represents our experience on the earthly plane and how we interpret it as the vehicle of God’s desires, which are manifested through man.

It is formed by the nervous system, touch, hormones, and tears, and here lie emotions such as anger, resentment, jealousy, revenge, guilt, sadness, fear, pain, and others. It is in this body that our sufferings and emotional wounds are kept. If we do not do something to heal these wounds, the negative energies that generate these emotions will harm our health and life in general.

What to do to improve our emotional body?

• Reflect on what we feel
• Do introspection work, and meditate.
• Practice gratitude.
• Write about our experiences.
• Deepen the connection with our peers

4- Physical body

It is considered the densest of the four bodies, and its element is the earth and the fourth quadrant of matter. This is the one that houses the soul on earth, and it is known as energy, the etheric, mental, and emotional bodies; it is our temple.

In a way, the physical body tells us how things are going with our other three bodies; that is why it is so important to listen and pay attention to it because it can be affected by what we eat and do and what we feel and think. If our physical body is balanced, we will feel flexible, open, and healthy; otherwise, we will age faster, get sick, our organs will be interrupted, etc.

What to do to improve our body

• Eat healthily
• Exercise
• Sleep well
• Spend time outdoors
• Practice Yoga, Pilates, or other discipline that promotes flexibility.
