The etheric body is the subtle energy double of the physical body in esoteric teaching, a web of life force that holds the body's blueprint and carries vitality, or prana, through the organs and nerves.
Why It Matters
The etheric body is the first layer of the human energy field, closest to the skin, and it is said to vitalize and sustain the physical form. Teachers say that rest, nature, clean food and sunlight strengthen it. At Next Level Soul, we teach it as the foundation on which every other layer of the aura rests.
