XVI. Geography of the Energy Body
On the body, there are certain centers where energy is concentrated. <strong>The</strong>se have come to
be known generally as chakras. We can easily make a connection to a person at any of
these centers, bridging the gap between body and energy-body, physical and spiritual.
Indeed, these centers are like junctions between the two bodies and one can affect the
body on either or both levels simultaneously through the skilled manipulation of these
centers.
<strong>The</strong> function of the chakras are like subtle body organs. Each has a different purpose and
affect on the subtle and physical form, but for the most part, they all gather, process, and
circulate energy. <strong>The</strong>y have been described as "wheels of light", which is indeed the
literal translation of the word chakra, and each one has a distinct frequency at which it
resonates energy, keeping it constantly spinning, pulsing, and in motion.
<strong>The</strong>se centers and their usage has been known to cultures from ancient Egypt and before.
<strong>The</strong> energy flowing through these centers is known as prana in Sanskrit. It is chi to the
Chinese, ki to the Japanese, the ba or "breath of life" to the Egyptians. <strong>The</strong> energy has
been described as a fluid and has been equated with breath, blood and life by varying
cultures. It is the essential stuff of life and it is etheric yet fluid, mutable, and in a
constant state of motion. It is the spiritual mercury of the ancient alchemists, the element
most crucial to transformation and the creation of the Philosopher's Stone.
Different systems depict these centers at varying points in the body. <strong>The</strong> Hindu system of
Chakras has been most widely accepted by the West, and it depicts a set of seven "wheels
of light" which occur in a centralized line throughout the body. <strong>The</strong> Tibetan system,
which may have more purely inherited the ancient wisdom that went before, recognizes
only five. <strong>The</strong>se five correspond to five aspects the Egyptians attributed to the human
soul. As our heritage is Egyptian and pre-Egyptian, we have chosen their words to
describe these centers.

recognize major six centers within the body, and their location and characteristics are as
follows:
<strong>The</strong> first energy center is located at the crown of the head, and is accessible from either
crown or forehead. This is often depicted as two different centers, but due to their
proximity, these are affected as one. To the Egyptians and those that preceded them, this
center was known as the Akh. <strong>The</strong> Akh is the immortal body, that which contains our
undying, Essential Selves. This energy center is the point at which the immortal body
crosses over with the physical form.
