Energetic bodies are like energetic psycho-emotional packages, created by human beings, based on their life experiences, to protect themselves from suffering, painful and traumatic memories and records but that, on the other hand, also serve to inhibit, block and hinder their potential throughout one or more lives. So, the unbalanced patterns coming from their beliefs can influence their behavior in a negative way, blocking their real Essence, Oneness and Happiness from manifesting. The primordial energetic imbalance, that can develop in countless types of diseases (physical, psycho-emotional, behavioral, social) is nothing more than our own ignorance, (that Hindis call avidya) about the true One Reality that we already are. The imbalance causes an amount of characters in our existence, allowing them to interact and manifest themselves, interfering with our behavior and inducing us to attitudes unfavorable to our purest will. Those characters are what we call energetic bodies. The energetic bodies, different from our physical bodies, are abstract, cannot be touched, but felt. Our physical body is like a wrapper spread over a group of many bodies that form our psycho-emotional and energetical complex. Those energetic bodies together constitute our personality and our character. They are psycho-emotional units (acting in the astral and mental levels) that are built from pleasurable or painful experiences throughout life. It’s important to notice that much before being able to manifest thoughts (that is, being born and learning how to talk), you could feel. From the moment your central nervous system started to be formed within your mother’s womb, you started to feel, and started to keep records of psycho-emotional information in your unconscious. Those psycho-emotional nuclei are bound and interact together forming our personality and character, with its complex web of control and defense, always working towards our two basic and atavistic pulsions: search for pleasure and avoidance of suffering (that is repressed but remains alive in the unconscious impulses, manifesting in the psychic, emotional and physical levels). It is as if we were in a constant football match, that takes place inside ourselves: the Light team (the balanced energetic bodies) and the Shadow team (the imbalanced energetic bodies). Our task is to “convince” the Shadow players to play with the Light, because our true nature is equilibrium, detachment, joy, strength. Everything that doesn’t belong to this real nature is a “ghost”, belief and energy placed on the wrong polarity. Mônica likes to use the clothes parallel: For each experience we go through in life, we wear come energetic clothes. If the experience was pleasurable, constructive, we wear new and clean clothes; if the experience was painful, traumatic, we war old and dirty clothes. And we live full of, cram with, burdened with several layers of clothes. In each experience we have, when the mind/ego identifies the experience at hand with a similar outfit from the past, those clothes vibrate their positive or negative qualities, as if the same thing was going to happen all over again. We say, jokingly, that in Fogo Sagrado we undress the old and dirty clothes and send them to the CCL’s laundry, which returns them mended, clean and ironed. The Hindis call those psycho-emotional impressions (the energetic bodies) samsakaras (impressions) that engender vasanas (our beliefs, patterns and tendencies). So we see that emotions are highly predominant factors in our lives. And in this dual Universe, where everything is made of pairs of opposites (do you remember Yin and Yang?), it couldn’t be any different with emotions. Emotions are energies that also have two polarities: for example, when we talk about fear we are also talking about courage or prudence; when we say anger, we also mean an energy able to create, to build; when we mention anxiety, we mention calm, surrender and relaxation; and, on the other side of anguish, confidence, hope and lack of blame live. They are the same energy with different polarities. The countless lives on our journey through multiple existences print and root psycho-emotional bits of information – both positive and negative, depending on the quality of the experience (that can be a huge trauma due to an event that happened only once or a pattern, acquired due to a repetition of events) – in our unconscious, that shape our character, our personality, and fructify (psycho-somatized) in different ways: physical, psychic, emotional, relational, professional or social diseases. This collection of negative psycho-emotional information – the imbalanced energetic bodies – is channeled and manifested by the channeler therapist to be routed and transmuted by the EGREGORA to its positive, balanced polarity – the Enlightened Body – and returned to the client as a Guardian with a Mantra. Many energetic bodies act only on the unconscious, causing symptoms, and the person can’t bring the connection between symptom and cause to the conscious. Many times, a desire hides a necessity, or vice-versa. Few times, extremely strong experiences generate a complex of defensive energetic bodies – as an onion and its layers – that hide the core of the problem. With his or her ability, the channeler and the director can clean the field until they can see the core and route it to what would be, in this case, the psycho-emotional and energetic ressignification of the contents. Nowadays, Science knows that the brain can’t recognize the difference between past and future, thus keeping our records constantly updated. To do so, the brain gives support to all energetic bodies, by structuring neuronal webs that manage the whole physiology of the neurotransmitters and hormones, and that keep all the past records alive and acting in our minds and bodies. When the channeler recognizes an energetic body, the neuronal web that used to support that pattern or belief starts to crumble. When the client receives the Enlightened Body and works with the Mantra, he or she builds a new neuronal web that substitutes the previous one and supports the new and more balanced patterns that came with the Enlightened Body. The Orientals call it “creating a second nature”. The energetic bodies are psycho-emotional quantum units, constituted by emotional information (a “feeling”, linked to the level of the astral body) with a theme (the perspective of the fact, linked to the mental body). When the channeler recognizes the content and gives back the Enlightened Body, there are still some memories – more or less alive – of the old pattern in the unconscious. If the client doesn’t work with the Mantra, the cleaning certainly happened, but no one can guarantee that the old patterns won’t be rebuilt.
