Energy Fields part 1

This article is not mine I take no credit for it but it helps explain auras and our own energy. The article website is: https://www.consciouslifestylemag.com/human-energy-field-aura/

There are many human energy fields. These include the physically measurable electromagnetic and magnetic fields generated by all living cells, tissues, and organs, and the body as a whole. But there are also biofields-subtle or putative fields emanating from these pulsing units of life- as well as our subtle energy bodies, channels, and aspects of self. Here are brief descriptions of the most important human biofields.

Morphogenetic Fields

In biology, a morphogenetic field is a group of cells that leads to specific body structures or organs. For example, a cardiac field becomes heart tissue. Scientist Rupert Sheldrake, in the early 1980s, was the first to label a learning field that instructs the scientifically recognized ones, calling them the energetic or subtle morphogenetic or morphic fields.

Sheldrake suggested that there is an energy field within and around a morphic unit- the physical developmental unit of what later becomes a tissue or organ-that forms it. All living organisms-from cells to people-that belong to a certain group tune in to the morphic field and through morphic resonance develop according to the programs within that field. Resonance only occurs between forms that are similar, so a monkey would not take on the characteristics of a plant. According to Sheldrake, these energy fields serve as a database as well as a mental form.

Sheldrake's theory seeks to explain why members of a family pass down certain behaviors and even emotions and why species might share common characteristics and developmental patterns. Various studies have also shown that even when separated, members of certain species acquire similar traits or behaviors, a puzzle that can be explained by morphogenetic fields. Subtle in nature, they are not limited to time or space. This theory would portray DNA as the recipient of information from human energy fields through the subtle body, which instructs it to act in certain ways.

Grandpa's musical gifts might be then carried on to grandson via morphic fields rather than DNA. Morphic energy fields may instruct the epigenetic makeup, the chemical storage houses.

Sheldrake's philosophy also holds that past life memories could pass from lifetime to lifetime through a soul's morphic energy field. These memories would be nonlocal in nature and therefore not anchored in the brain or a particular life.

Etheric Fields

The word etheric is often used as a substitute for the terms subtle body or aura. There are actually independent etheric fields around every vibrating unit of life, from a cell to a plant to a person, as well as a specific etheric field that is connected to the body, as described under "Special Human Energy Fields" below.

The term etheric is a derivative from the word ether, which has been considered a medium that permeates space, transmitting transverse waves of energy.
When associated with the entirety of the auric field, it surrounds the whole body, hence why it's a pivotal part of the human energy field.

As a separate energy body, which is a more substantial and popular view, the etheric body links the physical body with other subtle bodies serving as a matrix for physical growth. As Barbara Brennan, a contemporary expert on the aura, suggests, this human energy field therefore exists before the cells grow. Lawrence and Phoebe Bendit say the same of the auric field, asserting that it permeates every particle of the body and acts as a matrix for it.
