Behind the obvious physical being is a series of more subtle vehicles of consciousness, each with its own aura (shown here as concentric ovoids around the body) and energy dynamics. The set of small circles down the mid-line of the body are the chakras.
Beyond the consciousness of the gross physical body itself is the emotional, mental and spiritual consciousness of what could collectively be termed the psyche. The Psyche is not a single entity in the way that the Physical Body is, but rather the sum of a number of distinct “subtle bodies” note or vehicles of consciousness that exist as frequency levels on the Etheric Plane. The word “subtle” is used to distinguish these bodies from the gross physical body.
