The Controlled, the sensitive soul and the accidental
Have you heard about sensitive souls hearing voices in their head out of nowhere? Ever heard someone calling out your name, only to realize there was no one around? Or do you recall hearing weird noises yourself?
Have you wondered what kind of noises are these? Where do these voices come from? Why do only some people experience it?
These sounds come from the astral plane! It connects to only some people. This happens when entities from the astral world try to communicate with those living on the physical plane. People who can hear these sounds that no one can are gifted with the power of clairaudience!
The Etheric body helps in creating impressions coming from the astral plane on the conscious minds of people and they begin to hear voices and weird sounds in their head.
Hearing sounds and voices from the astral plane is possible in three conditions:
- When the person possesses consciously controlled power.
When you are able to hear voices from the astral plane and can consciously control this power of hearing, it is known as clairaudience.
CLAIRAUDIENCE is the supernatural ability to perceive spiritual messages that others cannot hear. It is also known as the power of hearing. It is a special gift of hearing voices from the astral world that are not audible to ordinary people.
We must bear in mind that this is different from a condition in which a person has no control over these faculties.
We have an example of controlled clairaudience from the Mahabharata.
It is written that the charioteer of king Dhritarashtra – Sanjay, was blessed with the powers of clairvoyance and clairaudience. He was given the powers to see and hear what was happening in the Kurukshetra war and narrate the same to the visually impaired king.
Thus we see that when a developed soul directs the power of clairudience, it can be used gainfully for the general good.
2. When the person has a sensitive soul.
Some people are born with sensitive souls. Such people often sense someone calling them or speaking to them. Entities from the astral world easily connect to sensitive souls on the physical plane. That is why they try to communicate to those people more often.
3. Tearing of the atomic web
According to Theosophical literature, we possess something called as an atomic web. An atomic web is like a shield that protects and filters elements from the astral world entering in the etheric world. It prevents the astral elements from exposing our physical consciousness to things we cannot see or hear.
When the atomic web is not present, the contents from the astral plane leave impressions on the etheric brain. Ordinary humans are not equipped to understand or interpret those impressions. Most of us may find those impressions and sounds unpleasant and hence may not be able to handle what we see or hear.
Substances like drugs, tea or other intoxicants, extreme stress, trauma or even an outburst of excitement, cause damage to the atomic web. When the web tears, it allows thoughts from the astral plane to directly enter the etheric plane. This is when the man starts hallucinating.
A schizophrenic often has similar complaints about experiencing voices or visions that others cannot see or hear. As stress, drug addiction or other factors damage his atomic web, he is exposed to contents from the astral plane that causes hallucination.
Have your dear ones ever experienced hearing any kind of sound that inaudible to others?
Would you like to learn in detail about clairaudience and clairvoyance?
We highly recommend you to study Module 9 of our course on The Etheric Double by Arthur E Powell which explains both those concepts and more on etheric sight!
Re-energise yourself the natural way
Often you come across people that are always full of energy. Likewise, you also come across people quite the opposite. Further, there are days that you are full of vitality and vigour, and other days, you feel under the weather.
What explains the varying energy levels and how do you re-energise yourself naturally and easily? Read on…
WHAT IS THE SECRET BEHIND THIS ENERGY?
This energy is what is called as ‘Prana’.
Prana can be defined as the energy that breathes “life” into us and every living being on earth. It is emitted from the sunlight and grants life energy to all organisms on earth, helping our bodies to function effectively.
Can you imagine our bodies functioning without any energy? That is how essential Prana is! Without this life energy, no living body can function at all. Life of all living beings – animals, birds, plants, and humans are a product of Prana. We consume ample amount of Prana present in the atmosphere every day for survival.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PRANA?
Prana is the source of life for every organism on earth and it energizes our body all the time. Helena Blavatsky, the co-founder of Theosophical Society compared Prana, to oxygen. Just as oxygen is an active chemical element necessary for organisms to breathe, so is Prana an important element for all living beings.
HOW IS PRANA ABSORBED BY OUR BODIES?
According to the school of Theosophy,
Prana is emitted from the sunlight and is present is ample amount in the atmosphere. It forms Vitality Globules in the environment which is absorbed by our Spleen Chakra (force centre) and then distributed to all other parts of the body. Since Prana enters the etheric body through the Spleen Chakra first, it is the most important of all other chakras in our etheric body.
Therefore, it is very important for the Spleen Chakra to function smoothly so that enough energy is absorbed and supplied to the body.
SO WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE LOW ON ENERGY?
Most usually, there is a trouble in assimilation of energy!
Some people are not able to assimilate this source of energy in their bodies because their Spleen Chakra is not functioning properly. This trouble in assimilation causes them to remain low on energy. Such people are often seen inactive and weak.
Because of this lack of Prana, they unconsciously tend to draw the Prana from the sensitive people around them. They suck Prana from others, only to make up for their own deficiency! Doing this does not benefit the one absorbing energy as his Spleen Chakra itself is not functioning properly. But the victims of this episode get drained out and feel tired very soon.
In contrast to this above state, a person who is physically fit and healthy is blessed with a supremely smooth functioning Spleen Chakra. This helps him in generating more Prana than what is sufficient for his body. In that case, the remaining Prana is radiated from the individual’s body in all directions.
You may have seen a person who is physically fit, often brings along some good vibes and energy in the room. It is because of the positive life energy that is constantly glowing from their body.
This overflowing energy makes him an excellent source of Prana for those around him. Such positive energy is very beneficial to everyone around them.
HOW CAN ONE MANAGE THIS SITUATION?
Helping an afflicted person: Pranic healing may also help in restoring the functioning of the spleen chakraSpleen Chakra of the energy vampire.
Dealing with a person low on energy: When one is in vicinity of a person who is perpetually low on energy, it is advisable to create a protective shield around oneself using various practices of Pranic healing before interacting with such a person
HOW DO YOU RESTORE YOUR ENERGY EASILY?
An easy way is to recharge yourself by sitting under a large tree, or around beautiful flowers. Plants and vegetables are known to absorb a lot of Prana that they do not use it significantly for themselves. Trees like oak, pine, eucalyptus obtain high amount of Prana. Sitting under a tree or around flora can help a drained person restore his or her Prana.
However, very often, this is not easily attainable. Fret not. We have something more for you
Deep abdominal breathing!
Deep abdominal breathing is a very simple and effective technique that you can use to restore your energy levels.
To do this, you sit at ease on a comfortable chair and let your belly expand as you inhale, and let your belly contract as you exhale. Do this slowly and deeply for a few cycles, and let us know how you feel!

Do this to get smarter and healthier!
We are all intelligent, but who does not want to be able to have a sharper memory, and a better presence of mind. If you belong to the group of people who would like to get better each day, this blog is for you!
The world’s richest people concur on this simple habit, which makes a world of difference to your mental and physical wellbeing. It is about sleeping early.
Here’s what the world’s wealthiest have to say about this simple habit:
“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
– Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States
“I’m more alert and I think more clearly”,
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com and the wealthiest man in the world
Some of the other leading lights who hit the pillow at early hours to remain alert and fresh the next morning are Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and also the Holy Dalai Lama.
The renowned / popular health and medical information website WebMD suggests that sleeping early can boost your mood helping you avoid mood disorders.
According to American News and opinion website, Huffpost’s ‘9 science-backed reasons why you should sleep early’
“While you snooze, your body is hard at work performing repairs on your heart, blood vessels, brain and other tissues that help keep chronic disease at bay. Skimp on sleep, and that nightly maintenance schedule starts to suffer. Eventually, your parts will start to wear out, setting the stage for major problems.”
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN AND WHAT DOES THEOSOPHY SAY ABOUT IT?
This phenomenon draws from two principles based in theosophy.
-
- The role of physical elemental.
- Creation and use of Prana, or vitality, through the day.
The physical elemental has a big role to play in the working mechanism of dense physical body during night time and the effect when we wake up.
Keep reading to know more…
WHAT IS PHYSICAL ELEMENTAL?
In simple words, the physical elementals have two important roles
-
- They keep the physical body tense during day to perform tasks and help them remain alert at all times. This makes sure, that physical body is prepared for action all day long.
- They also help in absorbing Prana when the dense physical body is relaxed and at rest during sleeping hours at night.
Thus, Physical Elemental takes in Prana from the environment and assimilates it into the physical dense body, hence working like a machine throughout.
NOW WHAT IS PRANA AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR OUR BODY?
Prana is a life force emitted from the sun that enters some of the atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere. This configuration can be termed as vitality globules.
Prana as described in The Etheric Double by A. E. Powell (Theosophist and Author) is a “Life-Breath”, in every creature.
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, (Founder of Theosophical Society, Author, Occultist and Philosopher.) compares Prana to oxygen that also supports life. In western words Prana can literally translate to ‘vitality’.
Indra Deva, the King of Heavens and a God from Hindu Scriptures says, “I am Prana, and Prana is Life.”
HOW DOES A PRANA OR VITALITY GLOBULE WORK IN OUR BODY?
Prana holds all cells and molecules in our body together. Without Prana our dense physical body would be nothing but independent cells performing scattered tasks. The formation of Prana happens only during daytime due to availability of sunlight. It is absorbed through Spleen Chakra in our body and then distributed to other Chakras.
YOU MUST WONDER… HOW PRANA IS CONNECTED TO SLEEPING EARLY?
So, this is how it goes…
Like mentioned earlier, Prana comes directly from the sun, therefore its existence is unquestionable during daytime, but what happens when the sun sets and there is no sunlight anymore?
Here’s the answer…
Prana, is at its peak level (highest) during dusk and worn off (lowest) at daybreak. Therefore, all living beings must absorb/assimilate it during its maximal existence.
When the sun sets…
- Prana is maximum in the atmosphere
- But the production is halted
- Every living-being then absorbs Prana
- Dense physical body needs to be relaxed so that our physical elemental can absorb Prana efficiently
- The sooner your physical body is relaxed, the more they can assimilate Prana from the atmosphere.
Therefore, your physical body needs to be at rest early. When you sleep early, the amount of Prana is ample for absorption and as you delay your sleep, the amount declines as well. As the night falls, the amount of Prana reduces.
Therefore, when you sleep late, the amount of Prana absorbed is less resulting into low energy when you wake up. During dawn this level of Prana is almost down to zero and therefore there is not enough Prana for Physical Elemental to absorb.
Now can hit the hay early tonight and experience the change yourself.
Don’t Worry, Be Healthy!
Bobby McFerrin released a song called “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” in 1988. This song went on to become one of the biggest hits, and humming this always filled me with lot of joy and happiness. Little did I know that those feelings also contributed to great health!
Now, we do know today that your emotional and mental state does affect your health. Indeed, we hear many people say that happiness is the key to good health.
EVE WONDERED WHY THESE EMOTIONS ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR HEALTH?
To start with, let me tell you that there are various perspectives and beliefs to emotions impacting your health.
Let’s see what western medical science has to say about it.
Multiple studies carried out by physicians suggest that mental disturbance can have physical effects.
Mental Health Foundation believes that mental disturbance can slow down your body’s working mechanism.
-
- It can lead to various short-term diseases.
- Induce other chronic diseases leaving your system exposed to other bacteria and viruses.
- In extreme condition, it can end up being a cause for Insomnia.
While, western medical science believes that your physical and mental health is not separate, let’s see what Theosophy has to say about it.
According to Theosophy, the etheric double or widely referred as ‘Health Aura’ plays a vital role in protecting your body from negative and harmful energy from the surrounding. Health Aura literally means an atmosphere around your physical body meant to protect you and keep you healthy.
WHAT IS YOUR HEALTH AURA COMPOSED OF?
Atoms in the etheric body that have lost Prana become like any other atom. Some of them are absorbed by the body and enter into various combinations while others which are not required are forced out of the body in the form of etheric discharges.
These discharges are expelled out in all directions in straight lines. They are at a right angle to the surface of the body.
This expulsion along with excess Prana forms your health aura.
As long as the lines remain straight and firm the body is entirely protected from the attack of harmful energy and vibrations.
It is because of these discharges, expelled in straight lines, perpendicular to the body, does the aura appear to have a striated effect.
The image below illustrates how these discharges look around our physical body.
These straight lines repel all kinds of negative energies and vibrations that are trying to enter your body. The unhealthy incomings bounce back as they come in contact with these discharges. Along with these particles, unused Prana or excess amount of Prana is also expelled out from the body.
To know more about assimilation and discharge or Prana, you can refer our online course below.
Moving on,
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR HEALTH AURA WHEN YOU FEEL LOW OR SAD?
The health aura can be affected by our emotions.
A feeling of depression or sadness leads to the drooping of these striations and a person tends to become more susceptible to diseases.
In such a case, your body is in great need of Prana. So, it uses up a greater amount of Prana-charged atoms, consequently resulting in serious loss of the quantity radiated. The health aura lines thus become weak and start to wilt. This allows negative energies to enter the body and make you sick.
On the contrary,
Did you know that you can also be a source of health for others around you?
Let’s see how.
If you are someone with great Physical and Mental health, your body contains more than necessary Prana-charged atoms. Your Spleen Chakra being the source of Prana in your body becomes so efficient in its working that it absorbs excess amount of Prana. The body then expels these Prana-charged atoms making it a source of strength for people around you. They literally act as a sponge and absorb Prana emitted out of your body.
Interestingly, some people can also drain your useful amount of Prana making you feel weak.
HOW CAN YOU KEEP YOUR HEALTH AURA INTACT?
In addition to all these facts, your mental-emotional state has a large bearing on your well-being. This is because when you think / believe yourself to be unwell; you end up creating a thought form to that effect, which can eventually lead you to becoming sick.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ENSURE GOOD HEALTH?
Fortunately, there aren’t many secrets to great health. A good, healthy diet, the right exercise, fresh air, meditation and time with loved ones ensures that most diseases will stay at bay.
WHICH IS THE BEST MEDITATION FOR ME?
I personally prefer Meditation on Twin Hearts.
Master Choa Kok Sui says, “Practicing the Meditation on Twin Hearts is like taking a Spiritual Shower. When your aura is clean, you experience a Higher Level of awareness and you see through things more clearly.”
According to World Pranic Healing website, Twin heart meditation can:
-
- Reduce stress, anxiety and depression
- Results in improved health
- Keeps your mind sharp and induces happiness.
