The following are the mayor killers of psychological and physical health. They especially hinder or bl
ock the progress in perceiving and working with your energy body. They can slow the development process or completely annihilate your ability to actually feel and control energy properly.
The order is random, and what is most important to watch out for depends on each and every individual being.
Substances (Alcohol, coffee, refined & artificial sugars, drugs, stimulants)
Stimulants can be extremely harmful to the body and psyche and its effects are even more damaging to the energy body. Especially alcohol is an extremely potent toxin. Rudolf Steiner, one of the greatest modern teachers of energy work and spiritual development, talked especially about the harmful effects of alcohol and coffee. All his students were adviced to stay away from those substances. He explained in detail how they affect different areas within the subtle body, and how they interfere with one‘s spiritual and energetic development.
Chemicals in food & processed food / Aluminum & plastic in food environments
Toxins, chemicals, and careless consuming is damaging our energy body and whole being. Microwaves, fast-food and de-naturalisation through high-processing of what was once food is not nurturing our energy and mind in the way we need. Depression and lack of energy and a prosperous life are the consequences of it. Aluminum in kitchens, chemicals and plastic in food are toxifying our internal organs directly, which in consequence requires more detox. Especially aluminum has nothing to do anywhere near food. It is a great harm to our body and well being and a big underestimated problem by many people.
Too Little Sleep & Lack of Routine
Enough sleep is very important for general energy in life and even more so when we want to work with our energy body. Sleep deprivation can cause problems in mood, focus and the ability to sense well and correctly.
A too chaotic life with no routine also creates a chaotic mind, which in turn creates a chaotic energy body and life.
Non-Controlled Ejaculation
The semen for men is one of the most important and precious substances within their body. It is pure life force materialised. Its release is a great loss of energy which needs to be compensated for by the body. This makes one tired and depleted. The effects of ejaculation are especially felt in energy work and the lost life force can only partially regained. Tantric and taoist texts talk greatly about the preservation. Especially in Yoga, followers are advised to preserve their vital fluids, and practice Brahmacharia.
Bluetooth, 5G, EMF, Electrical Appliances
When we talk about energy and sensing the subtle body, it is obvious that we have to talk about the subtle energy even mainstream science is aware of. Bluetooth, 5G, electromagnetic frequencies and electronics in our environments are great tools for our modern llifes. But the magnetic fields they are emitting can interfere with our whole being, mind and subtle bodies. It is best to use and be around them only when necessary and as little as possible. Regularly spend time in nature or practice where they are absent.
Sextoys & Stimulants
Orgasms and enhancing one‘s sensitivity and pleasure through toys and stimulants can be great tools to increase our wellbeing and sensing abilities temporarily. But they also numb our subtle body and body awareness, especially over time. What we try to gain, actually leaves us more and more. Which in the end requires more work, to gain back the lost sensitivity, and de-armour what is numbed out now. Like the soles of the foot gets thick and desensitized when we walk barefoot on hard grounds a lot, so our skin gets desensitized when we overstimulate it with artificial tools. Not even to speak about viagra and other stimulants which replace our natural abilities for artificial drugs. Both toys and substances should be avoided. They harm our senses and the power house of sexual energy, the most potent and intense form of energy for our body to work with.
Synthetic Clothes
Our body and skin absorb things constantly. Therefore it is best to wear clothes made of natural material. Wool and light colors should be prefered. Synthetic clothes should be avoided, as it can affect not only the skin, but also ones ability to sense properly. Black color needs more chemicals to dye it, which can even damage our organs and whole body.
Perfumes & Artificial Skin Care Products
Perfume, artificial scents and chemicals in „beauty“-products harm our bodies and corrupt our senses. It influences our DNA, hormonal balance and internal system. It should be absolutely avoided for anyone working with their energy body and leading a healthy life. Better stick to essential oils and natural healthcare-products from nature, or just leave them away if you can.
