The Biological Energy Field
I'm beginning to put together some information for Sandy, my newfound editor and realized that perhaps we haven't examined what it is like to have an energy field.
I mean, we're very used to getting our matter field wet in the shower, soaping it down and rinsing it off but does that happen to the energy field as well? The answer is yes! Because the energy field and matter field are intimately spliced, what happens to the matter field happens to the energy field. There's no difference in these biological entities.
But we can view them by shifting our attention. If our attention is focused on the gross field that we look at with our senses then we are attending to the matter field, and when we do healing in this realm we measure our techniques of healing. If the blood pressure is high, we take a pill and the blood pressure goes down.
If we shift our attention to subtle sensations in the biological field that we call the mindbody, we attend to feelings that we may not be used to observing. For some this shift is very easy and for others it is a stretch. I include myself in the latter group for I was so mesmerized by my matter field training that it took some time for me to understand the subtle energy field.
But with training and understanding the sensations of the energy field that is reporting to me on a regular basis, I now have a trained, educated perception of the field as it is. As I have discussed earlier, this subtle field reports to us through the qualities of opposites: hot and cold, light and heavy, rough and oily etc.
When we participate in yoga posture practice and stretch, the particular positions release energy from areas of fixation, rigidity and stiffness. If we are not too overwhelmed by the stretch, we can get in touch with the energy field in this way as well. After the yoga asana(position), bring your attention to the subtle sensations in your mindbody field and you will notice perhaps a tingling, lightness or have a feeling that there is actually a shining brightness to the area of your mindbody that has been stretched. This is also an experience of your energy field!
So the biological energy field can be experienced. We just have to pay attention to it. DrBill
