Something that is discussed frequently in spirituality studies and meditation is the energy that is around us and in us. One form of this energy is known as the etheric body, and is considered the most dense of the energy systems.
The etheric body is the closest form of energy to your physical body. It extends only a few inches from your physical body, and thus has the lowest vibrational frequency. However, there are still multiple things you can do to keep it healthy and use it in your spiritual practices.
The following article is a more detailed explanation of the etheric body and what happens to it during spiritual practices. It also includes a brief guide on how to keep your etheric body healthy, and where you can learn about other subtle bodies and forms of energy.

What is The Meaning of the Etheric Body?
The term “etheric” refers to the aura that surrounds a person. An aura is the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds all physical things, from people to objects. Each person has a slightly different aura depending on their personality, but it boils down to positive or negative.
The etheric body is one of the layers of energy that surrounds our bodies. The term “etheric” is another word for “aura”, which is the energy around all physical beings. The aura depends on their personality, but it ultimately comes down to whether their ethereal body is positive or negative.
The etheric body also delivers energy to our physical bodies so that we can do everything needed to experience life. It’s an extension of our physical bodies, so it’s very important to keep it healthy so it can help us experience authentic and full lives.
What Happens in the Etheric Body?
The main things that happen in the etheric body have to do with the health of your physical body. For example, if you are stressed or happy, then your etheric body and aura will reflect that.
The etheric body is primarily connected to your physical body. So whatever sensations your physical body experiences, your etheric body will experience as well. For example, whenever your body experiences any of the five senses, then the energy of your etheric body will reflect that.
The etheric body can also react to the energies of the world around you. So if something makes you stressed or happy, then your etheric body is affected. The aura around you might also change depending on how you are feeling and the energy you are giving off.
How Can I Keep My Etheric Body Healthy?
A few ways you can keep your etheric body healthy include:
- Avoiding things that cause you unnecessary stress
- Avoiding things that have negative energy
- Taking care of your physical body
As long as your physical body is healthy, then your etheric body will be healthy.
Since the etheric body is an extension of your physical body, taking care of your physical body and emotional well being is the best way to keep your etheric body healthy. For example, you should avoid anything that causes you unnecessary negativity and stress. These emotions can cause your etheric body to get clogged, and not function properly.
Furthermore, you should do everything you can to stay healthy physically. Some things you can do to ensure this include:
- Getting enough sleep
- Eating healthy
- Exercising
And anything else you need to do to stay healthy. The better you feel physically, the better your etheric body will feel.
What Can Negatively Impact my Etheric Body?
Anything that makes you feel negative physically or mentally can impact your etheric body. Fortunately, there are ways to know if your etheric body is clogged, and ways to clear it up.
Even though the main purpose of the etheric body is to transmit positive energies, it can still transmit negative energies. This means that anything that negatively affects your emotions will also negatively affect your etheric body. For example, if something in your life consistently stresses you out or makes you angry, then your etheric body will reflect that.
A few ways that you can tell if your etheric body is experiencing negativity blockages include:
- Fatigue
- Sudden depression
- Uncontrollable anger
- Worrying excessively
- Changes in appetite
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or anything else that deters from your normal behavior, then it might be time to clear out your etheric body. The easiest way to do so is to step away from anything or anyone that is causing you to experience these negative emotions.
Take note of how you feel whenever you are around certain people or in certain places. If you feel mostly positive, then it’s an indicator that your etheric body is taking in positive energy. But if you feel drained or stressed, or any negative emotions, then it’s an indicator that your etheric body is taking in negative energy.
Once you start noticing how you feel in certain situations, then you can start deciding who or what you want to start stepping away from. Another way to clear your etheric body is with meditation. Meditation is a very popular and effective way to check in with your mental and physical well-being.
While you meditate, its recommended to visualize letting go of every negative feeling that you are currently harboring in your etheric body. This is the most effective way to meditate when trying to clear your etheric body.
It’s also recommended to write down the negative emotions that you let go and mull them over. This can help you see where they came from, why they weren’t helping you, and anything else you thought of during your meditation.
