So What's an Energy Body anyway?
Hello everyone! Ever since I can remember I have always been fascinated by the human body. But the most fascinating aspect of the body by far, to me, is that which makes us 'go' and ties everything together. Take a moment to think about what powers you. Your first thought might be Oxygen. The heart. The brain. Or all of the above. All are correct...but there’s more!
You are alive because your body transforms pure elemental energy forms such as fire, water and air in order to sustain itself. Your body is a bio-electromagnetic structure. To put it very, very simply, this is another way of saying our bodies operate through electrical impulses. We can feel their effects even when we don’t see them. However, many folks have been taught that if you can’t see it, feel it, taste it, touch it or hear it, then it’s not real. We like to have proof just to be sure of things. As a result, the concepts of “spirit”, “soul”, or “life force” have become more closely linked with religious belief systems and less with the scientific. But from my experience, there is no separating the spirit from the physical body, in life. You are as much a spiritual being as you are a physical being. Thus you are the energy of your thoughts and your intentions, your beliefs, etc. All come together to form what you see when you look in the mirror.
The physical body has its own distinct energy field. This is your physical body’s wireless communication system which reacts to things you don’t necessarily see, but are aware of. Regardless of whether the information comes from within you or from somewhere else, the first place it registers is within this field of energy. Ancient health care systems such as acupuncture, reflexology and Ayurvedic medicine all take the body’s energy system into account when treating the individual. For those of you who are still skeptical, science has shown that the brain and the heart each have their own distinct energy fields. These are smaller fields within the body’s larger one. For the most part, your entire being operates through electrical impulses set into motion when you breathe. That electricity is what some folks call "spirit" or "essence". I call it the energy body.
Your energy body is a very subtle substance which surrounds and permeates your physical body. It is here that your concept of self, your beliefs and your wisdom originate and reside. It is through this substance that you intuit/sense other people, events, things and spiritual connections. It is the layer of our being through which we feel happiness, sadness, love, fear, anger and other emotions. All the emotions are pure energy, which all have a very noticeable effect on the physical body. Thus we are either energized and enlivened or depleted and depressed by thoughts that we are creating or by something that we are experiencing. The circulation of particular negative patterns of energy can cause an energetic imbalance or blockage in the body which affects the function of the mental/emotional and/or physical processes. Additionally, if you are recovering from a physical injury, research has shown that treatment through the energy field can help accelerate the healing process.
I have been trained to identify and reconnect energy currents. I employ a variety of techniques to help restore balance and proper functioning of the body. There are many modalities you may be familiar with which access the body’s energy such as Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Acupuncture, Reflexology, Craniosacral Therapy, Esoteric Healing as well as many others. Find one that resonates with you. You can also promote energetic balance within you by keeping your thoughts, intentions and actions positive, clear and focused. Better energy flow means a healthier you. Stay healthy friends.

A few more insights...
It's been a few years since my visit to the Other Side. During this time, I've heard and read others' accounts of similar experiences, each of which left change in its wake. Some individuals were able to find greater understanding into themselves or a particular life situation, others were able to connect with a loved one, some received special abilities or knowledge which they used to help others, others received a physical healing. Every individual seems to have been provided with the information they needed which helped the continuation of their life's journey. Having been through this, I understand that sometimes it takes extreme circumstances in order for us to get the message. What they all have in common is the knowing that there is more to us, more to this existence, than meets the eye.
Though humanity has had this sort of spiritual understanding passed on through centuries of oral tradition, religious texts and spiritual healing practices around the world, there has also been ongoing question, debate, speculation and skepticism about our spiritual heritage.
But if we look closely we will see that the world of science has been providing insight into the intangible and invisible aspects of our selves and our reality. In thousands of studies throughout the globe, researchers in the fields of Biology and Physics have been measuring and quantifying Spirit and Consciousness even though it is not announced as such.
In very general terms, Biology and Physics study the movement of energy in the form of atoms, molecules, waves and particles. Research by scientists such as Dr. James Oschman, and the late Dr. Candace Pert have measured the existence of energy fields within human organ systems; fields within fields, such as the heart and the brain; and receptors for emotions located within the structure of our cells. (Emotions!) In some cases it seems that the only things separating science and Spirit are language and the size of the structures. But I digress.
If we can momentarily consider ourselves to be a collection of cells transformed by the interaction of waves and molecules, we are in effect observing the interaction of different forms of Consciousness. Everything is made up of the same stuff. Water waves and light waves behave in similar ways. Quantum entanglement can be translated as entrainment. A flock of birds or school of fish moving together as one are examples of entrainment. Consciousness is Life Energy. The concept is very simple and complex at the same time. Yet, from simplicity comes great power. Ancient teachings reiterate this as well.
I believe that one of the reasons for my experience in 2015 was to help me with a personal goal, which was to teach people about the energy of things within and around them and why it is important. There is indeed a lot more to us than meets the eye, many layers worth, and it is all very simple. But humans have a knack for complication. Learning how your energy works is one step towards simplification. Harnessing that energy directly connects you to your Power. Mastering this will bring you your version of peace. (Remember, you are a Creator in every sense of the word.) Use your power wisely.
Insights from Others...
Not long ago I had a chance to discuss world religions with a variety of people. I approached these discussions with a genuine curiosity as I wanted to know why they believed what they believed. When I asked them to consider the notion of humans as God, I saw how it made some people squirm and others become fearful. A couple of folks even chuckled at the irony of how judgmental they were about beliefs different from their own, even though their faith teaches them otherwise. Ironic indeed, though not uncommon. As most of the people I spoke with were between the ages of 45 and 60, I wanted to find a younger person's point of view.
So, I spoke with a high school student close to graduation. This young lady had a religious upbringing and attended private school where religious teaching was part of the daily education. Additionally, one of her parents had been delving into spiritual exploration throughout most of the child's life.
I asked the student for her observations. She answered, “When I was in school, a lot of those stories were confusing to me. Like how are babies sinners? A baby can't even do anything for themselves. Does anyone think about that? There seemed to be a lot of contradictions. When I asked questions, the answers still didn't make sense. I understood that it is good to be a good person and to help each other. What more do you need?” Interesting insight.
I was intrigued by her reply and asked, “So, have you ever felt like you've needed help from somewhere outside of what your parents, teachers, or others are able to provide?”
“No.”
“Are you ever fearful to the point where you feel you need to call upon a higher power?”
“No.”
“Do you believe in God?”
“I believe there is a God, but not that God is a man or a person. It's more like an energy.”
“So, what do you believe then? By what principles do you live your life?”
She answered, “I believe that if you do your best and focus on doing the right thing, that things work out. Things don't have to be complicated, but people make them that way sometimes.”
As I was open to whatever this young lady had to say, I couldn't help but notice that hers seemed like a very fearless, unencumbered approach to life. I asked her one last question. Based on her understanding of God, could it be possible that each of us was indeed God and that there was no separation, she replied, “Yes, that makes sense to me.” Oh my.
An emerging New Thinker! One of many I have met through the years. All of them in various states of awakening. All of them growing in their awareness of the energy of things. Still yet, a newer perspective indeed.
For anyone open to improving themselves, there is much to be gained from this type of insight. We come into the world equipped with God-power which for many of us becomes obscured through erroneous thinking and false beliefs. But in order to see yourself as Creator means to recognize ALL you have created in your life. Not an easy thing to do if you have a hard time being honest with yourself and taking responsibility for having created the good, the bad and the ugly. Yet, courage and honesty are what it takes for us to create change. Think about the type of power you associate with a higher Being. What would You create with it?

KIRKUS REVIEW
In her debut book, a holistic therapy practitioner, reflexologist, and artist relates her story of a near-death experience and its resulting insights.
In January 2015, author Guadalupe, disheartened by difficulties in her professional and personal lives, asked herself, “Is anything I do any good at all? Does it even make a difference?” Just a few minutes later, her car spun out of control on the road, and she experienced a transformative encounter with “The Light” (which she also calls “Source” or “God”). She says that she came to realize, among other things, that people’s lives on Earth are just a small part of their existence. She also says that she heard a voice ask her, “Do you want to live?”; after she responded affirmatively, she found herself back in her car, with no indication that an accident ever happened. She says that she then went on to experience a sense of heightened awareness over the next several months, even sensing life in inanimate objects. However, she became depressed when she tried to reconcile her experience with her profession, but by exchanging therapy sessions with a colleague, she was able to better integrate her encounter into the rest of her life. Her realization that all life is sentient, and that everyone chooses their own life, informed by beliefs, attitudes, and decisions, made her accept her connection with the Source. Overall, Guadalupe presents complex ideas in an easily comprehensible manner. Her account of her near-death experience is engaging, but its true significance in the narrative is in how it affected her professional practice. As a result, readers who are merely looking for a thrilling, supernatural account may be disappointed. The book also includes a clear discussion of polarity therapy, a holistic healing technique based on the idea of energy flow within the body. The final chapter, “Alignment and Transformation,” reads like a self-help book, and as such, it provides invaluable practical advice on changing one’s viewpoint in order to effect positive change in one’s life.
A memoir that offers intriguing insights into how one’s decisions affect one’s body and mind.

Love This Book
"Love this book! Not because I've known the author for almost 39 years, but because her treatise on positive energy is spot on! Having been in the position of having to deal with a lot of negative experiences in my life, it's very difficult to simply hold your head high. Taking the time to reflect on those short instances of negativity, and dousing them with a healthy dose of positive energy is what's needed. This book will put you on that path.
Thanks for the great read Sonia! Hope there's a follow up......" - S. Gross
Illuminated Universe conveys an amazing experience and a whole lot more!
"Illuminated Universe conveys an amazing experience and a whole lot more! It describes an expansive "peek" behind the veil of what most consider "reality" to be. Illuminated Universe offers explanations to help understand the depths of our being and underlying "forces" that guide Life. The author uses information acquired during and after her phenomenal experience, along with her practical experience, to offer methods that can aid others in developing a more fulfilling life. It is a short but powerful read. Approach it with an open mind!" Karen D.

"Don't let the small size of this book fool you. You will want to take your time reading it to think things over. I found the author's personal story riveting. It was a great introduction on how one can help themselves make connections. The second half of the book has great ideas. I would not read this book once, it has things to ponder, to try, to reflect on and refer to." P. Opolsky

In January 2015, author Guadalupe, disheartened by difficulties in her professional and personal lives, asked herself, “Is anything I do any good at all? Does it even make a difference?” Just a few minutes later, her car spun out of control on the road, and she experienced a transformative encounter with “The Light” (which she also calls “Source” or “God”). She says that she came to realize, among other things, that people’s lives on Earth are just a small part of their existence. She also says that she heard a voice ask her, “Do you want to live?”; after she responded affirmatively, she found herself back in her car, with no indication that an accident ever happened. She says that she then went on to experience a sense of heightened awareness over the next several months, even sensing life in inanimate objects. However, she became depressed when she tried to reconcile her experience with her profession, but by exchanging therapy sessions with a colleague, she was able to better integrate her encounter into the rest of her life. Her realization that all life is sentient, and that everyone chooses their own life, informed by beliefs, attitudes, and decisions, made her accept her connection with the Source. Overall, Guadalupe presents complex ideas in an easily comprehensible manner. Her account of her near-death experience is engaging, but its true significance in the narrative is in how it affected her professional practice. As a result, readers who are merely looking for a thrilling, supernatural account may be disappointed. The book also includes a clear discussion of polarity therapy, a holistic healing technique based on the idea of energy flow within the body. The final chapter, “Alignment and Transformation,” reads like a self-help book, and as such, it provides invaluable practical advice on changing one’s viewpoint in order to effect positive change in one’s life.
A memoir that offers intriguing insights into how one’s decisions affect one’s body and mind.

Love This Book
"Love this book! Not because I've known the author for almost 39 years, but because her treatise on positive energy is spot on! Having been in the position of having to deal with a lot of negative experiences in my life, it's very difficult to simply hold your head high. Taking the time to reflect on those short instances of negativity, and dousing them with a healthy dose of positive energy is what's needed. This book will put you on that path.
Thanks for the great read Sonia! Hope there's a follow up......" - S. Gross
Illuminated Universe conveys an amazing experience and a whole lot more!
"Illuminated Universe conveys an amazing experience and a whole lot more! It describes an expansive "peek" behind the veil of what most consider "reality" to be. Illuminated Universe offers explanations to help understand the depths of our being and underlying "forces" that guide Life. The author uses information acquired during and after her phenomenal experience, along with her practical experience, to offer methods that can aid others in developing a more fulfilling life. It is a short but powerful read. Approach it with an open mind!" Karen D.

"Don't let the small size of this book fool you. You will want to take your time reading it to think things over. I found the author's personal story riveting. It was a great introduction on how one can help themselves make connections. The second half of the book has great ideas. I would not read this book once, it has things to ponder, to try, to reflect on and refer to." P. Opolsky
