“Every living thing pulses with energy. Everything is vibrating in a particular way. Scientists have accepted that the human body has an electrical pulse. This energy extends past your physical body and encompasses your whole body” (www.well-being-oasis.com). This is what we call Human Energy Field or Human Auric Field – in other words, the Aura.
In the same manner that our physical body has a certain anatomy, the Human Auric Field has its own anatomy as well. This is also the anatomy of the overall human consciousness, the anatomy of our Living Matrix.
“The Human Energy Field, sometimes called the Aura, is a complex combination of overlapping energy patterns which define the unique spiritual, mental, emotional and physical makeup of an individual. A person’s Human Energy Field (HEF) is that part of the Universal Energy Field (UEF) associated with that specific individual. There are three basic ways of describing the HEF: in terms of energy meridians, chakras and energy bodies” (The Human Energy Field).
In terms of energy bodies, there are four auric bodies or levels of consciousness:
1. The etheric (or physical energy) level
2. The emotional
3. The mental, and
4. The spiritual level.

These bodies are subtler in nature than the physical body. Each body or level overlaps with and encompasses all previous ones, including the physical body.
The Human Energy Field (HEF) interacts constantly with the Universal Energy Field (UEF) via the chakra system (see below) and this is vital to life. The Human Energy Field serves as an interface, carrier or matrix connecting the human body with the Universal Energy Field. The latter serves as an interface, carrier or matrix for the Universal Life Energy (Ki / Qi and Prana), the energy of life that permeates, vitalises, surrounds, and connects everything.
The Human Energy Field (HEF) consists of energy centers, known as the chakras. The chakras are energetic wheel-like vortices that receive incoming energy and information from the Universal Energy Field and transform it into frequencies that are adequate for us humans. Energy and information that is filtered through the chakras also returns to the UEF via the same system. Thus far, we are aware of 7 – 12 major chakras, and many secondary ones within the HEF. The chakras are essential to the reception and transmission of energy (Ki) throughout the HEF. The chakra system acts as an intermediary between the endocrine system, the nervous system, and the HEF. Chakras channel incoming frequencies through the endocrine system and the nervous system on the physical level, and through the system of nadis on the subtler ethereal level.

The 7 primary chakras
The nadis is a system of pathways through which the chakra system provides human consciousness with Prana. The nadis connect to the chakras. “Various sources have described up to 72,000 nadis or etheric channels of energy in the subtle anatomy of the body. These channels are interwoven with the physical nervous system. Research by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama in Japan has presented findings that confirm the presence of the chakra system in human beings” (source: Human Multidimensional Anatomy).
Chakras are located on a major central axis which is the main energy channel of the HEF, the ‘Chong Mai’ as it is called in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or ‘Penetrating Vessel’. The ’Chong Mai’ is the central energy pathway, as well as the first meridian that is formed in the embryo. It runs parallel to the spine and forms an axis from the perineum to the top of the head. It also extends beyond the perineum and beyond the top of the head.
The meridian system or network is formed by 12 standard or primary meridians known from Traditional Chinese Medicine and used in Shiatsu. In addition to these 12 standard or primary meridians, there are two major channels that run parallel to the Chong Mai: The Conception Vessel (CV) or Ren Mai, which runs down the central line in the front of the body, and the Governing Vessel (GV) or Du Mai, which runs down the central line respectively on the back.
Meridians are also subtle pathways through which Ki /Qi flows in the same manner that blood flows through the arterial system. Standard TCM meridians connect to the body’s internal vital organs and each meridian is associated with a human biological function. Nutritive Ki flows through the meridian system and nourishes body organs and systems. Shizuto Masunaga, the founder of Zen Shiatsu, reviewed and epitomised the meridian network by locating extended channels, the Zen Shiatsu meridians. In the theory of Zen Shiatsu and on the energetic level, each meridian is also a carrier of specific qualities of energy.
Now, if the seven major chakras are located along the Chong Mai and if the Chong Mai is the major central meridian-axis of the HEF, it appears that the Chong Mai could actually be an interface connecting the chakra system with the meridian system.
And finally, since the chakras are connected to the nadis, it also appears that the Chong Mai could be the key in making a connection between the system of nadis and the meridian system used in Shiatsu (if we wish to make such a connection at all, that is…): “The Chong Meridian flows vertically deep within the body, along the front of the spine. The Chong has a close resonance with – if not an actual equivalence to – the Shushumna Nadi described in Hindu Yogic traditions” (The Eight Extraordinary Meridians).

Human Multidimensional Anatomy:
“There were a series of studies on the anatomic nature of the meridian system in animals which were carried out in Korea during the 1960’s by a team of researchers headed by Professor Kim B.Han. [...] Through his research, he discovered that an electrical axis developed in the unfertilized egg which corresponded with the future orientation of the brain and central nervous system in the adult. The creation of such an electrical axis forms a waveguide for a directional energy field that provides spatial orientation to the cells in the developing embryo. It was also discovered that the contour of the electrical field of embryos followed the shape of the adult. Dr. Harold Burr carried out experiments mapping electrical fields around developing embryos. It would appear from the research of these and other scientists that the meridian system forms an Interface between the etheric and the physical body. It is the first physical link between the two.”


Σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία της Παραδοσιακής Κινέζικης Ιατρικής (ΠΚΙ), στην οποία βασίζεται το Shiatsu, ισχυρά και κυρίως αρνητικά συναισθήματα – δηλαδή χαμηλές δονητικές συχνότητες – που παράγονται και βιώνονται για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα, αν δεν τα διαχειριστούμε κατάλληλα, ενδέχεται να επηρεάσουν την υγεία μας σε τέτοιο βαθμό που μπορεί να οδηγήσουν στην εκδήλωση ασθένειας μακροπρόθεσμα. Η Παραδοσιακή Κινέζικη Ιατρική (ΠΚΙ) αναγνωρίζει τα ακόλουθα συναισθήματα ή συναισθηματικές καταστάσεις ως ‘εσωτερικούς παράγοντες ασθενειών’, αν βιωθούν σε μεγάλο βαθμό και για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα: φόβος, θυμός, υπερβολική χαρά, ανησυχία, θλίψη / πένθος και σοκ. Αυτοί οι συναισθηματικοί παράγοντες επηρεάζουν αντίστοιχα τα εσωτερικά Yin όργανα: τα Νεφρά, το Ήπαρ, την Καρδιά, τον Σπλήνα και τους Πνεύμονες. Σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία της Παραδοσιακής Κινέζικης Ιατρικής (ΠΚΙ), οποιοδήποτε δυνατό συναίσθημα το οποίο παράγεται και βιώνεται για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα μπορεί να επηρεάσει την Καρδιά με τον ένα τρόπο ή τον άλλο.
