What is a light body and what does it have to do with your spiritual growth?
The Light Body is the luminous egg-shaped field of light, or aura, that surrounds and interpenetrates deep into the core of the physical body, anchoring into the Central Channel. The Central Channel is a cord of light parallel to and inside of the spinal column that runs from the root to the crown. It also extends from the root into the heart of Mother Earth and from the crown up to the Heavenly Realms.
This radiant energy within, through and around us, the essence of the Light Body, is intricately connected to the living energy of the Creation, of All That Is. It is the Love-Light cosmic force that creates and animates all life and permeates every aspect of our being and the world around us. It is your spiritual body. As such, it is interconnected with and carries the imprints of your soul. As such, even when you remain unaware of the Light Body, it nevertheless is working on a subtle, vibrational level outside your ordinary perception. When you engage consciously with your Light Body through practices like meditation, energy healing, and self-reflective, conscious awareness, you can transmute heavy energies, remove blocks, and enhance intuitive receptivity to messages from your soul. “Light energy meaning” is how your mission and purpose of your life is encoded within the Light Body.
Elements of the Light Body
Imagine a bright, auric field surrounding and interpenetrating into your body. The human energy field is a complex web of living energy with multiple layers, each of which has an impact on our well-being. The mental, emotional, etheric and astral bodies work together to keep us in balance The mental and emotional bodies are fields mirroring and transmitting both inward and outward what is in our minds and hearts, whether productive or not.
The astral body is the field of the soul and spirit. It creates a bridge of communication and information between that and our conscious awareness. It also is involved in the creation and manifestation of the experiences necessary for our growth and evolution. When we tap into it through practices designed to develop greater awareness of the Light Body, we can understand our soul’s mission and purpose.
The etheric body is closest to and tightly interconnected with the physical body. It reflects our physical health and also transmits all bodily sensations, including pain and pleasure.
While it is not necessary to connect individually with each of these layers of the Light Body, understanding how they work can deepen our appreciation of ourselves as multidimensional beyond the mere physical.
How to Activate Your Light Body and Enhance Spiritual Power
Sometimes, you meet someone whose presence feels profoundly sacred, like you are basking in the gentle warmth of sunlight. How does the light work within them to radiate peace and inspiration so effortlessly, with their energy even resonating within yours, clearing your mind, uplifting your spirit, and expanding your vision? While there are enlightened masters of this living energy who have an innate soul gift for doing this, on the other hand, you, just as anyone, can have a regular, robust spiritual practice wherein you work regularly with the Light Body. Anyone seeking a closer spiritual connection and personal transformation can engage in spiritual body activation. It's a path we can all walk, one that promises to illuminate the very essence of who we are.
As a shamanic healer, I work directly with the Light Body because it holds the key for enormous personal growth and evolution. This is one reason I consider shamanic healing to be a truly beautiful gift and a powerful method for addressing problems of old traumas and blocks that continue to cause difficulties in your life.
Once you are able to make this leap, you can become more consciously reaching for the alignment of your intentions for your life. You can tap with awareness into higher vibrational frequencies–and even towards enlightenment.
Preparation Tips for How to Activate Your Spiritual Power
If you are striving to achieve healing, greater peace and authenticity, these are some tips about how to begin:
Accept your divine source beyond the merely physical, mental and emotional.
Deepen your self-awareness and look beyond the ordinary dimensions of and challenges in your life.
Set a powerful intention to activate your spiritual power.
Be out in nature and connect with the sun as much as you can, as both feed and illuminate your Light Body even without meditation.
Light Body Activation Meditation
Here is a simple meditation practice that will help you activate your Light Body and expand your awareness and connection to your soul and spirit:
Find a comfortable seat where you can be undisturbed. Sit upright, but relaxed either in a chair or on the floor, cross-legged.
Set an intention to connect with the Love-Light within, through, and around All That Is.
Take 3 slow, deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, visualizing Love-Light coming in and Love-Light moving out.
Visualize yourself in a clear quartz crystal with the roots reaching deep down into the Earth and the tip reaching up above you into the sky.
Imagine Rainbow Light pouring down from the heavens above into the crystal and dancing within, through, and around you as it illuminates and uplifts your mind and emotions.
Become aware of the rising and falling of the heart center or chest as the breath goes in and out.
Visualize Rainbow Love-Light coming into the heart center with the in breath and Love-Light going out with the out breath as heavy energies in your body, mind, emotions, and energy body are transmuted and released.
Now that you've activated your heart space, your mind and body may feel very different. You may feel lighter, less burdened by worry, anger and grief, or any other difficult emotions.
Do this practice at least 15 minutes/day. You can also visualize yourself in this crystal palace at any point of the day to continue to build the activation of your subtle awareness of the Light Body with all of its encoding and messages from your soul and spirit. This practice also heals heavy energies and contributes to keeping yourself in balance. Being consistent over time leads to better integration and benefits that last longer.
The Rainbow Body
This Light Body activation can be maintained through regularly practicing this meditation. In doing so, you can achieve a rainbow body state that is anchored in compassion and love. This will help you free yourself emotionally and mentally from self-judgment and from hurts from the past. It will ultimately lead you to the freedom of forgiveness of self and others. However, this is about more than just you. When you transform into this radiant beacon of Love-Light, you influence your environment and bring positive energy wherever you go!
How Does the Light Work?
The fuel that powers your Light Body is love. Breathe with it, extend it outward to others, and direct this loving energy into any areas within yourself that need healing and affirmation—emotions, physical discomforts, and organs alike. This loving energy gains deeper significance when you understand the light energy's meaning as anchored into the heart with a luminous bridge to the higher mind.
It allows you to:
Get rid of difficult habits, unresolved feelings, and negative memories.
Let go of limiting ideas about self, others and the world.
Bathe in luminous light to uplift your soul, mind, and body.
Build the fires of unconditional love and compassion into your life.
Feel immense happiness and brilliance.
Embrace a state of illumination and grace.
Experience a profound sense of unity with all living things.
I have answered the questions, “What is a Light Body and how does the light work? How to activate your spiritual power?” Every problem we face, every challenge we face are a part of a bigger picture–a deep purpose orchestrated and chosen by our soul. Believe it or not, these are gifts, little pushes in the direction of fulfilling our mission and purpose. Like crumbs on a path, they help us find our most profound wisdom, accept ourselves as we are, and naturally shine our light. We are far greater than just living to get by. When you activate your spiritual power, life feels more like an adventure in becoming fully aware and manifesting your highest destiny. Your challenges will feel lighter and you will feel more free.
