• um we want to be emphasizing energy body okay just for now
• oh i'm not going to repeat much at all about the energy body because we've asked you to listen to all
• and just to say very very brief briefly about the energy body um
• what are we talking about when we say energy body um it's a little bit different than the
• to with a different sensibility when we talk about energy body so overlaps what we're talking to but
• um when we when we use a word like energy body it's as much that we're talking about
• remember when i had this flow of energy that's what the energy body is no that's a certain experience so we're talking
• that we can benefit from from learning to to harmonize the energy body and dwell in that and and let the awareness
• so that's one reason that the energy body is is an uh integral factor of all samadhi
• life and what what reverberates what resonates in the body in the energy body it
• it via the energy body can be really really skillful really helpful when there's
• really really helpful um third reason for the energy body uh the the focus on that and the emphasis
• helpful but whatever we do the energy body is going to be a part of it we're not going
• going to be a part of it we're not going to lose connection with the energy body that's the encouragement so whatever
• directional orientation at any time in practice the energy body is is an integral part of that and is involved
• as the week goes today really to have more emphasis on on the energy body on being aware of that on playing with that
• um you know images and an image resonate with the energy body and come back to the energy body or from images to
• with the energy body and come back to the energy body or from images to feeding the energy body and then go to
• to the energy body or from images to feeding the energy body and then go to the samadhi
• or you might be dwelling with an emotional resonance in the energy body and then that gives rise to an image so
• more emphasis on just dwelling with with the energy body um but there's that fluidity
• creative let yourself be creative but when we talk about energy body we're really talking about um if you like a
• i talk at the end about um walking in the energy body but maybe just to say some general things
• harmonization well-being uh in in the energy body and less about focusing the mind and keeping it on one thing
• moment of this way of looking on my emotions on the energy body on my sense of freedom on my sense of self on
• subtlety of the vibrations for instance in the energy body that we're aware of or the the tones the emotional tones or
• there isn't a linear sort of apart from this energy body emphasis at the beginning it's not like first you do
• um careful about this really an encouragement to use use the energy body and use the sense of soulfulness
• that be your compass the energy body and the sense of soulfulness rather than banging on at
• i got a perception of my body being red energy body or whatever it is great okay and and wonderful or some other
• dwelling in being with emphasizing the abiding in the energy body as the primary thing that will be
• on emotionally as it's playing out in the energy body and if images feel like they are coming
• letting yourself be flexible but the energy body is always involved we're not losing connection with that we're not
• can we do the walking meditation uh again emphasizing the energy body yeah so many of you familiar with what
• walking path sensitive to this field the energy body yeah
• do the walking and walk up and down with the sensitivity to the energy body just just the same with the sitting
• pace of the walking that allows you to get the sensitivity to the energy body you can stop and stand at any point so
• really what's helping this awareness of the energy body yeah now there's formal walking walking up
• the house it's good to slow down that will help this energy body awareness again not because we're aiming for
• um but just the slowness will help the energy body awareness for most people now

• etc energy body skill and awareness we already mentioned where am i with the

• giving them i'm really just attuning to my energy body my emotions my thoughts my experience here
• the other possibility and i mentioned it when we talked about the energy body in this in this series of talks
• person primarily through the eyes is just to play with the energy body awareness and bringing again same as we
• filling out that whole region that whole space that we call the energy body and
• in a dyad or triad relationship how easy it is to lose the energy body scent or it shrinks or it's like when i've got my
• happens and how helpful it is to keep checking in with the energy body and keep opening it up opening up filling it
• um the talk on energy body in this in this series in this course and there's the
• eyes what is it to get the sense of the whole energy body as an organ of sense as an organ of
• sense of the energy field the center the energy body begins to um
• sense of what's going on just how helpful it is to bring the energy body um into play to open up that awareness
• being the energy body the emotions or the breath or meta
• three levels um the energy body the emotion and then perhaps sharing something that was that
• a tracking and a voicing of those three levels or elements of being energy body the experience remember energy body also
• levels or elements of being energy body the experience remember energy body also includes imaginal body now and that all
• affecting right now um my energy body my emotion the emotions that arise what's happening in
• of that situation on the sense of soul making or energy body or whatever but sometimes the sense of how we are
• emotion an image something that's in the energy body and the partner or whoever it is in the diet
• there's a communication through the eyes and it's about through the energy body or it might be that they um
• anything like that and what can actually feel one's energy body um
• other words they just they can get a sense themselves of your energy body experience so your emotional experience
• the same in terms of it involves the energy body the emotion the sensing the soul the sensitivity to each other and
• now that you know the importance of the energy body and how you will notice certainly
• um so the energy body awareness shrinks or i'm only kind of aware of part of my
• in the crucible of one's being with the energy body with the emotions etc and it it did become image or if an image came
• was at that point it was really um almost all about her energy body experience
• significance and the power of the option of uh sensing the energy body or the energy field imaginably sensing it was

• relationship of body and energy body and consciousness um and so uh let's say a little bit
• body center the body and particularly of the energy body and the if you like the state of consciousness
• sometimes this can actually uh so it's felt in the energy body can actually cause the head to tilt back a little bit
• um so there's the movement from the energy body it's from the consciousness that's gathered in in joy etc and it
• that's gathered in in joy etc and it affects the energy body and that actually affects the physical body
• interrelationship and sensitivity to the energy body etc sometimes practicing and you're aware of the energy body and
• energy body etc sometimes practicing and you're aware of the energy body and aware of let's say the uprightness of
• aware of let's say the uprightness of the energy body and just being aware of that uprightness and actually allowing
• and notice how that feels in the whole space of the energy body and then what happens
• just experiment so here's the whole energy body sensitive to that whole space here's
• feel how does the energy body feel when you do that whole body
• maybe you feel that in in um in attending to the energy body or allowing the energy to open a certain
• what i want to focus on that when we're aware of the energy body or dwelling in the awareness of the energy body in that
• aware of the energy body or dwelling in the awareness of the energy body in that fullness
• perfectly still in meditation and inside you feel the energy body wants to make certain movements or actually is making
• um it comes when we're really with the energy body tends to come when we're really with the energy body and when
• energy body tends to come when we're really with the energy body and when when something is opening and
• in the in the chitto and the psyche and the energy body so this this can happen and and really
• really explore it let it let it be there feel how it feels in the energy body now sometimes you might actually explore
• feel yourself actually doing that but feel its effects in the energy body feel its effects on the emotion if there are
• you're really tuning to how it feels in the energy body in the soul in the emotions etc or again you can just let
• in the rest of the feeling of the psyche and the energy body and the emotions what about the angle of the hands
• effects on the feeling of the emotions the energy body etc the touching the earth mudra
• um all of this affects the emotions affects the energy body you know sometimes in meditation we feel stuck
• um they can open the emotions open the energy body shift the view even and all shift the possible sense of possibility
• um with this connection to sensitivity to mindfulness of the energy body what we can add now uh having said what
• meditation up and down it might be more this feeling the energy body and the feeling that it wants to move in certain
• it might just be as i said an imaginal movement of the energy body you look like you're standing still or
• you can feel yourself sitting there etc but you can also feel the energy body um and it might be doing all kinds of
• being in touch with with the space of the energy body but if you want at times you can move
• and down um with the energy body awareness or you can explore some of this movement either
• in action or just just letting the energy body do that but tuning into that feeling
• of the physical body or just in the imaginal energy body if the movement is is imaginable the posture is imaginal
• column of waste is a certain image will affect the energy body so that it wants to move

Energy and Transubstantiation - The Alchemy of the Body (Q & A) - (Re-enchanting the Cosmos: The... 35 mentions

• um sometimes um the energy body rather than my or your and i sometimes got the sense that
• i think the uh the languaging of the energy body rather than my is just to give a little bit more sense of
• um less of the self's kind of tight grip around it my energy body and i'm evaluating myself because it's my energy
• to access and stay and rest in in the energy body when there's some other kind of sensation
• with the floor then it's harder to stay with the energy energy body feelings yeah yeah good
• attention to the body is not by the energy body it's via the sensations especially if you've done mindfulness
• the gears i can shift to sensations i can shift the energy body i can shift to other kinds of awareness of body but the
• if that makes sense so as i said this morning when we talk about energy body energy space whatever i'm talking about
• can be right energy body tends to be you know this kind of space
• there um is is that the energy body and it's just because it doesn't sound very much
• the energy is that what you call the energy body or is peak is that pity is that something different yeah yeah good
• it's all pt and it's all good yeah so is that the energy bodies yeah it's what i want to emphasize i think what i
• experiences that can come within what we might call the energy body it's a way of attending to the space of the body so pt
• so does that make sense in terms of what's the energy body and what's pt just just for that part of the question
• unpleasant whatever you could say call that energy body but actually it's more it's more a certain frequency of of the
• it's more a certain frequency of of the sensation energy body is usually characterized by a bit more we could say
• that can come up um that's that's the energy body feels that way at a certain time as you
• diffuse yeah yeah okay so that that that's more like an like an energy body yeah i think it's all it's all
• characteristic of this way of working with the energy body is a sense of some kind of boundary that is quite diffuse i
• sense of well-being in in the in the energy body space and the mind kind of getting into that and enjoying it we
• you're kind of working this subtle plasticine of the energy body until it if it and if it feels like this is good
• uh abiding with the sensitivity to the emotional resonances in the energy body and if it's difficult then i'm uh what's
• images i'm i'm always in contact with my my energy body i'm trying to include that in the awareness because that's how
• sure like this the nuts and bolts of the energy body uh if there's anyone with with
• take advantage is not much of a sense of any energy body just yeah you just there's a maybe a lightness to the body
• um no no right and wrong today we've said emphasize the energy body but as the retreat goes on we're gonna open up
• is there the body feels like that's energy body that's a you know if we go back to the musical analogy that's a
• lightness just be that's tuning into the energy body and let that um you know the lightness may not be obviously pleasant
• is don't don't we have to be careful the energy body is not a certain experience so i had this
• pt now i'm trying to get that back because that's the energy body no the energy body is a way of paying attention
• because that's the energy body no the energy body is a way of paying attention and so lightness is also
• what's happening there okay now there's stuff happening in the energy body there's stuff happening in the heart
• yes uh look when we talk about energy body we're definitely not talking about just a
• pleasant experience the the anyone comes to me and says my energy body is always pleasant i just you're not paying
• there's an emotion that's making the energy body that's at the same and it's we want to tune more to the emotional

Body and Soul (Q & A) - (Tending the Holy Fire) 32 mentions

• um or heard recordings we've been emphasizing the energy body and that kind of awareness and opening that up
• put out there and and that we we engage in is a so energy body being a concept is a stretchable concept
• with a fairly narrow and simple sense or idea of what the energy body is as we get into it more and practice more
• briefly tonight is is again the the concept in this case of the energy body and the experience of the energy body is
• concept in this case of the energy body and the experience of the energy body is is a growable one yeah so
• this tonight i'll say it now anyway we talk about energy body it's uh it's a kind of vague open
• body so all that is wrapped up in in the possibilities of what energy body can be does this make sense yeah
• yes also about the energy body yeah so um
• um that i think are probably probably both call an energy body they feel quite different from each other
• each other is whether one's the energy body or they're both energy body and what to do with each of them one is a
• strong okay yeah so um i i would say it's all energy body okay energy body i i sort of if i could
• um i i would say it's all energy body okay energy body i i sort of if i could press rewind i might have chosen a
• as stone you know um all of that is energy body it's just it's the the range of what's available
• um for instance i'm interested in energy body but right now i'm interested in that kind of
• now i'm interested in that kind of direction of energy body that's about developing the samadhi developing that
• things with the energy but somebody direction the energy body um but it's actually all of that whole
• um but it's actually all of that whole range is is energy body so it in terms of the actual image that's involved it
• there's just space there all of that is energy body it's all in the range of the playground does that
• right thing so um sandy's asking so far her experience of the energy body is very much related to diana or janna
• that the dominant texture of the rupert of the of the energy body is uh peacefulness like a really exquisite

• and energy body is is basically we can use the energy body awareness to cultivate well-being and that well-being
• there are many reasons i think to to to um to incorporate uh energy body awareness another is emotional awareness
• then you've got a reason to be with the energy body that has just to do with navigating practice so for example
• it's an emptiness practice or a meta practice the energy body tells you here i am doing matter may you may you be
• and ride that wave catch that current in my cell let it fill the energy body resonate with it so the energy body
• my cell let it fill the energy body resonate with it so the energy body sensitivity is working to
• for us the energy body is one of the things that tells us there will be an alignment
• mentioned with uh anna it's when we say energy body uh what we've mostly been emphasizing so far is the
• arising that image had a certain perfume and opened the energy body a certain way so i can kind of lean more into the

Growing the Energy Body (Q & A) - (Foundations of a Soulmaking Dharma) 29 mentions

• um if there are questions about about what we can talk about the energy body what that is and how to practice with it
• here for me just because of what happens in the energy body so i'm checking in just almost as the things going on and
• if you like things to try with the whole energy body thing that feel like really easy and comfortable and familiar and
• follow another route yeah um so specifically with the energy body i i find it a lot easier just to almost
• um what i didn't quite understand was the specifics about the uh energy body and their do you want to see more well
• aches and pains and it'd be okay okay i haven't said anything about energy body it's just simple mindfulness okay so i
• is that when i start here it doesn't open up the energy body it just kind of stays at this kind of level of aches and
• i would say it doesn't matter so a lot about this energy body business is just um familiarity of accessibility the more
• and then part of what happens when that gets imaginal is the energy body starts to open up get different more energized
• with the image i could balance the energy body sense with the image or i can come mostly to the energy body and i
• energy body sense with the image or i can come mostly to the energy body and i can peel off into some kind of samadhi
• being will just get used to perceiving the energy body so that you don't need to go around that way yeah so if it's
• i understood correctly with working with the energy body one might end up in a pool like like you need to decide where
• sacredness in pt or the breath or the energy body or something the better it works yeah
• yes i wonder about individualism collective energy body yeah like catherine yesterday sort of set his
• form a collective energy body could you see it like that yeah absolutely so thank you for
• mentioning that um yeah no question about it so energy body experience
• these ways and now we're talking about energy body but also with image um you start to have a certain range and
• like oh hold on this is a whole other thing now collective energy body sense could be in a diet a triad could be a
• certain way what what allows us to feel a shared sense of energy body and what gets in the way of that
• like it's almost a different energy body so that body i'm used to working with uh
• that body i'm used to working with uh that the energy body of release and grasping and all of that it's just like
• physical somehow like like with the energy body working with never say it feels like
• done a lot of practice with emptiness practices where the energy body is involved but it's really involved in two
• doing an emptiness practice and go into some samadhi with the energy body um but all that as you point out
• perceptions and what becomes available in the energy body yeah um so yes yes a lot can be more subtle i
• it's it's not quite as vivid in the energy body as you that's doesn't matter just get into it and enjoy it and you
• what i'm saying is you don't have to lean on just the energy body aspect to to um navigate you know there's
• have to always be immediate i want it now reflected in the energy body you understand so trust it's already there
