• a different kind of way that we pay attention to the energy body or imagining the body a certain way
• um so i touched on the energy body we could actually start there
• direction as part of the beauty of it but let's start with the energy body um just to give an example um
• not the the sensing with soul for us without the awareness of the energy body so that's characteristic of the magic
• constitution is awareness of the energy body a sensitivity to the what's happening in
• the energy or the experience of the energy body in the moment what this means for practice again is
• that bringing awareness to the energy body filling that energy body with awareness and sensitivity and the
• in the in the material world um including the energy body awareness can uh because it's a node and less can
• lattice so that bringing bringing the including the energy body awareness just just kind of noticing what's going on
• sometimes what happens is we bring the awareness of the energy body craving um
• right now but because the energy body is is a node in the lattice
• this just now but but let's say it again so in other words when the energy body awareness is included and comes alive
• those resonances in the body and it stimulates the energy body but we could probably take any any two for example
• um i'm i'm aware of the energy body there and the what's what that feels like what
• magic here um well we've touched on the energy body just to kind of recap because so many of
• um but just to say so what do we mean by energy body um energy body is again is actually a

• okay we're going back to our main point the energy body awareness is um one node in this
• what then is the relationship between sorry for the first one's energy body the second one is this is this well it
• and again like i said john's body awareness energy body might be new and it's like wow and that that itself uh
• so but these elements and playfulness heartfulness energy body awareness in themselves

• supporting a sensing result as we're aware of the energy body that way and things uh and the sensing the
• include the body as an imaginal body as we're starting just with energy body awareness which is just kind of a kind
• deliberately imagining the body alongside the the sort of energy body awareness we can start with a deliberate
• um it might become imaginal when we have the energy body awareness and we just start to get into that image
• body in other words being with the felt sense of the energy body and then maybe lightly
• more ethereal register on the spectrum of the energy body from very solid to very ethereal and i i wonder like for a
• exercise would it work um if one's perceiving one's energy body um ecstatically so to speak in in the

• um so will this work if i want to deliberately imagines uh the energy body outside
• any kind of mindfulness of body and whether it's energy body awareness as we've been talking about but just
• um so why why so much emphasis on the energy body um and sometimes i know people have
• one reason is just the energy the practice of the energy body in the way that we're talking about it
• um but it's a it can be a resource this energy body awareness and energy body practice in other ways
• tonight is is another aspect of working with the energy body is that again over time experience with the energy body and

• we get the sense through the sensitive to the energy body we get the sense of this body this energy body meaning this
• to the energy body we get the sense of this body this energy body meaning this body or even just this
• so already we're in the realm of um energetic energy body and and experience and image of materiality if you like on

• okay as i said yesterday the energy body um will not be cannot be lovely all the
• within that track there is the possibility when the energy body is not so open it's a bit twisted or contracted
• possibility might be again to bring in the whole energy body but it the energy body the space of the energy body forms
• the whole energy body but it the energy body the space of the energy body forms a context uh a space really for this
• do know but i can then open up the energy body awareness and let this difficulty uh sit in the middle of this
• uh julius wet body bubble this space of the energy body whereas it gives it a different context it do you understand
• because of that it you can feel that dynamism in in the energy body foreign
• feel a kind of um power and dynamism in the energy body that's related to the emotion and

• actually any movement any gesture any vocalization will affect the energy body um and let's say the emotions what we're
• other since the space that you're in since the energy body sense what's going on emotionally and just be with that
• the experience of self other world energy body and emotional body and then perhaps out of that
• the vocalizations aware of self energy body all of that or whatever other but also all that in a

• getting a set of soul sense for it sensing it in the energy body listening to the energy body listening to the
• sensing it in the energy body listening to the energy body listening to the emotional and soul resonances and then
• observer is much less important than your sense of the energy body the emotional body and the soul sense of

• and it may change the relationship with the energy body and allow other possibilities in terms of opening up the
• energy in the energy body etc so yes we can talk about what generally
• it may be again it may be that the energy body awareness is just more uh readily and wholly available so again
• about just oh how just opening up the energy body can help that will help support the the movement towards a even
• being of our soul of our mind of our heart of our ideas of our energy body uh range etc maybe a shattering this
• diving in and atomizing it and again we talk about the whole energy body and getting that involved rather than
• meditate on the image and in this moment with your energy body with your bodily sensitive sensibility can you feel that
• so it's like okay very gently can you include the energy body experience and and the emotional experience the heart
• let that feeling of power fill uh feel you fill the energy body fill the heart and and the being
• or bad power and just power in the being power in the energy body power in the soul power as the ability to do power as

• light centered there if you're working with light as part of the energy body whereas imagine the breath energy coming
• that kind of body energy body awareness so what you can do you're working in the second genre but
• light is the stillness and it's right up through the center of the energy body space and one can begin to allow that or
• sometimes it's really helpful to feel that you or the body of energy body is kind of falling backwards into a giant
• going avoiding the breath at first going via what you remember of energy body vibrations of different states of
• had soul resonances my sense of the energy body was that they the energy body were creatively and definitely
• other than me so rather than i am the energy body and it's me it was part of me the sense was that they were
• intelligence i've not really worked with energy body as image rather than as the terrain in
• and sense and what opened was a gorgeous sense of twoness with the energy body in a sense that they the energy body were

• so the outer so-called body is still but the energy body is moving and and that's part of what you're paying attention to
• my edge is where my growing is okay then we've talked about energy body so it might be actually to be aware of the
• it might be actually to be aware of the kind of more subtle energy body effects of certain movements it's a slightly
• um but then there's also what does it do in the energy body what in me and then there's a whole other level of sensing
• habits and sometimes what happens is there's a habit of the energy body and and even the amount of energy to be
• when the energy is limited in different ways the energy body is limited then also the emotions and the images
• but there's probably movements in the energy body there's probably some kind of subtle emotion being being
• movement the ripples in the energy body in the consciousness in the being
• job is just to witness and i'm bringing my whole energy body into relationship and into into the witnessing i'm knowing
• um my job is to notice how her movement impacts my energy body or my soul or my emotion or or my mind
• and it doesn't i can feel it in my heart i can feel it in my energy body so there's a lot of possibility here for

• space into inhabiting the fullness of your experience your energy body right now
• very easy at all for most people then you're aware of your energy body you're aware of your emotions
• if you like is with your own experience your own space your own energy body 20 with the other
• so most of the attention on your experience your energy body your space your emotion
• what happens emotionally what happens in my energy body etc and what image is there of this how does it feel just in
• just notices what the effects are in in the body in the energy body in the emotions in the soul at any event
