Besides the aura (electromagnetic field surrounding the physical body) we all have what is called the chakra system, or energy vortexes in the body, that transmit life force throughout our being. When these wheels are open and spinning properly we are healthy physically and emotionally. When they are blocked or they have excessive energy, we become ill, or emotionally disturbed. Usually negative or frozen emotions block us or cause us to have excessive energy or energy loss.

We are beings of light and this light helps us to be healthy and happy. Like plants, we need light to survive, and we need this light to be transmitted effectively up and down throughout the body. Our personal life force energy resides in the lowest Chakra, and travels up through the body and out the crown to connect us with the Universal Source. Sunlight and cosmic energy travels down the body from the head and fills us with life force energy.
