THE FIRST BODY

1

Soul Body

First Chakra (Root, Base of Spine)

Creator

Creativity, Humility, Heart Over Head

Your soul body is the body that connects you to your higher Self, your inner Infinity. It is the experience of the flow of spirit within. When your soul body is strong, you lead with your heart instead of your head. When you master your soul body, you can come from a place inside yourself of great humility and creativity. You are so linked with your own infinity that you can relax into the flow of Universal energy and use it to create beauty in your life.

If your first body is weak, you may come from your head instead of your heart. You can end up feeling stuck and jammed-up, not able to access your creative flow.

SECOND BODY

2

Negative/Protective Mind

Second Chakra (Sacrum)

Longing to Belong

Containment, Obedience, Connectedness

Your negative mind helps you give form to the creativity of your soul body by giving you the gifts of containment, form and discernment. It also represents in you a longing to belong, which in its highest expression drives you to connect very deeply with your Higher Self. If your negative/protective mind is underdeveloped, your longing to belong can cause you to get into inappropriate, self-destructive relationships because you are overly influenced by others; you are not contained enough in your own center.

The second body gives you a lot of “protective” information about whatever comes up in your life so that you can provide for every contingency in order to protect yourself. The journey is to form a strong relationship with your inner Self and to listen to the negative/protective mind so that you can use it as an asset. A strong second body serves you by giving you foresight and helping you to create contingency plans. It gives you the patience to be obedient to your own inner guidance.

If you have a two in your numerology chart, you need to develop the habit of listening to and obeying your inner voice; you need to practice feeling contained in your Infinite Self.

THIRD BODY

3

Positive/Projective Mind

Third Chakra (Navel Point)

Positivity, Equality, Thy Will is My Will

Your positive/projective mind lets you see the positive essence of all situations and all beings. It gives you a strong will and allows you to use your power easily and humbly. It makes you naturally playful and optimistic and gives you a good sense of humor. It makes your communication strong and direct.

If your positive/projective mind is weak, you may be overwhelmed by the input of your negative/protective mind, which can be depressing and paralyzing. You may be angry and intolerant, or else hesitant to use your own power, your own heat, because you are afraid of the responsibility it brings or afraid that you might abuse it.

FOURTH BODY

4

Neutral Mind

Fourth Chakra (Heart Center)

Cup of Prayer

Compassion, Integration, Service

Your neutral mind rules and integrates all parts of you. It elevates the input of your negative and positive minds (and the rest of your bodies) and gives you guidance within nine seconds. It helps you access your soul and look with compassion on the whole play of life, which allows you to serve others from a place of great elevation. Your neutral mind can see the big picture and how all parts of your life have been necessary and perfect because they have led you right to where you are now.

If your neutral mind is weak, you may have a hard time making decisions. You will have a habit of feeling victimized by life because you do not know how to integrate your experiences and find meaning in them. You may have a hard time seeing beyond the polarities of life on earth and tuning into the great cosmic scheme of things.

FIFTH BODY

5

Physical Body

Fifth Chakra (Throat)

Teacher

Balance, Sacrifice, Teaching

Your physical body is the body where the other nine bodies play out their parts. A strong fifth center gives you the capacity to sacrifice, to make sacred; it gives you the ability to balance all parts of your life. If your fifth body is strong, you will be a flexible, eloquent speaker and you will naturally share what you know by teaching others.

If your fifth body is weak, your inner and outer realities will be out of balance—you will not know how to handle all the different aspects of your life in a flowing, balanced way. You may have trouble expressing yourself verbally, and you may be afraid to be in the position of being a teacher.

SIXTH BODY

6

Arc Line

Sixth Chakra (Third Eye)

Person at Prayer

Protection, Projection, Justice

Your arc line is the balance point between the physical realm and the cosmic realm; it coordinates the inflow of cosmic knowledge from the upper chakras and integrates it through the first five bodies. By regulating the nervous system and glandular balance, your sixth body protects your heart center. You can use the intuition of your sixth center to protect yourself and its projective power to help you manifest whatever you want in your life. If your arc line is strong, you will be a natural meditator and have a very prayerful projection.

If your arc line is weak you may have glandular imbalances, which can lead to inconsistency in your moods and your behavior. You may be unfocused and unable to manifest your prayers, your intentions. You also may not be using your intuition to protect yourself.

SEVENTH BODY

7

The Aura

Seventh Chakra (Tenth Gate)

Platform of Elevation

Security, Love, Mercy

Your aura is the electromagnetic field around your body. When it is strong, it acts as a container for your life force and allows that life force to build up to a level where you feel completely confident and secure. Once you have this strong sense of security, you can truly open your heart and love yourself and others in an unconditional way. You are never threatened by someone else's energy because you always know who you are—you realize that home is where the heart is and, therefore, that you are always at home. Your very presence will uplift other people. You may find that singing is a natural way for you to elevate yourself and others.

If your aura is weak, you will feel easily overwhelmed by whatever energy you are near. You may find yourself not being true to your own principles in order to go along with everyone else. You may be defensive and over-reactive; you may try to find protection by isolating yourself from others.

EIGHTH BODY

8

Pranic Body

Finite to Infinity

Energy, Fearlessness, Self Initiation

Through your breath, your pranic body continuously brings life force and energy into your system. This allows you to feel absolutely fearless, fully alive and totally at one with all creation. When your pranic body is strong and your breathing is deep and relaxed, nothing can bother you. You know how to use your energy when it is needed and how to contain your energy when appropriate. You cherish every event in life and enjoy it to its fullest. By having a conscious relationship with an unconscious human function, the breath, you self-initiate and become self-illumined. Your very presence is healing to others because you carry so much pranic energy. In addition, a strong pranic body automatically balances and creates mastery over the negative, positive and neutral minds.

All disease starts with an imbalance in the pranic body. If your eighth body is weak, you may have constant low-level anxiety and chronic fatigue. You may try to get energy from food or stimulants. You may have a closed heart center because you just do not have enough energy to keep it open and flowing. You may be fearful and defensive.

NINTH BODY

9

Subtle Body

Mastery or Mystery

Subtlety, Calmness, Mastery

Your subtle body helps you see beyond the immediate realities of life to the sublime universal play that is always going on. When your subtle body is strong, you have great finesse and a powerful calmness. You always see beyond the obvious; nothing in life is a mystery to you. You learn quickly and master situations easily.

If your ninth body is weak you may be naïve and easily fooled. You may be unintentionally crude or rough in your speech or behavior. You may be restless because you lack the peace that comes from having learned to flow with the way things are.

TENTH BODY

10

Radiant Body

All or Nothing

Royal Courage, Nobility, Radiance

Your radiant body provides you with a glorious, radiant sphere of light that extends nine feet on all sides of your body. This sphere is brilliant and impenetrable—no outer negativity can penetrate it and all inner negativity is neutralized by it. A strong radiant body lets you project with royalty and grace. You exert a magnetic presence and command the respect of all who know you. You have great strength, determination and stamina, and you always give 110%. This is called the “one-plus” body because it consists of the first body, the soul body, plus its radiance.

If your tenth body is underdeveloped, you may be afraid of conflict. You may shy away from other people’s attention because you are afraid of the energy and responsibility that come with the recognition of your inner nobility. You may feel ineffective and unable to come through in situations.

ELEVENTH EMBODIMENT

11

Infinity

Eternal

Command Center, Completion, Flexibility

Your eleventh embodiment is the command center from which you direct the play of the ten bodies. It allows you mastery of the physical realm and access to the entire spiritual realm. It endows you with complete flexibility of consciousness. From the command center, you are a completed, perfected being because you have mastered all ten bodies and you can use them in any combination at any time to excel in your life and to help uplift others. You can direct all parts of your being from an impersonal, expansive space that allows infinity to flow through you at all times.
