All energy and all matter have vibrational frequencies co-existing within the same physical space and time without necessarily interfering with each other. Extending outward from our physical body and interpenetrating it, is a series of invisible energy fields called subtle energy bodies__ etheric, emotional, mental and spiritual in that order, extending outward from the physical__ each vibrating at progressively higher frequencies overlapping and interpenetrating the lower frequency subtle bodies.

The 5-D circulatory system exists within the etheric subtle energy body. It is an energetic blueprint for the physical body, interpenetrating all the atoms, cells, tissues, spaces and organs of the matter body and extending from ½ to 1 inch outwardly from the physical. The quality and formation of this etheric energy body determines the condition of the physical. Disruptions in the etheric body can transfer to the physical.
The next subtle body outward from the etheric is the emotional, surrounding and interpenetrating both etheric and physical bodies. An emotional trauma in life can imprint into the emotional body and in turn impact the etheric, eventually bringing disease or dysfunctions to the physical form.
The third subtle body outward, is the mental. The brain is born of the Mind__ not the mind being formed from the brain__ for it’s the Mind which has, over aeons, manifested the physical brain in mankind. The mental body surrounds and interpenetrates the emotional, etheric and physical bodies. A distorted mental concept or attitude stored in the mental body will in time impact the emotional body, then the etheric and finally the physical, causing declining health.
The spiritual energy body is the fourth, subtle energy field outward from the physical, and it too surrounds and penetrates all the other subtle energy bodies as well as the physical. Any problems with belief systems will impact first from the spiritual onto the mental, then to the emotional, then the etheric, and finally precipitate dysfunction or disease at the physical matter level.
