Appearance of the energy body

During our meditations and energy exercises we are consciously or unconsciously working with what i call the energy body. In various literature the energy body is also called the 'light body.'
What is the energy body? The energy body is a body that exists on the level of energy only. It is the body of energy that is the originating source of how our bodies are formed. With bodies here is meant not only the physical body but also the spiritual body. The energy body can also be seen as the first level of expression of who we are as a soul.
The energy body has its origin in the soul, or my or your personal identity and most inner being in front of the Creator. The energy body grows as we grow and is affected by whatever affects our spiritual and physical bodies.
In former exercises in this series we practiced with what was called 'Creation energy,' or an energy that creates life, from which all life comes and that has its origin in God. This is an energy that we can perceive in us on the heart level. Of course this energy has an expression in everyone and everything that has life, but to feel it during meditation we need to concentrate on the heart or love level of our being.
The energy body having a source of energy from within can be felt similar to when you see a source of light, like the sun in the photo above. Imagine that you yourself are this sun and that you feel light and energy radiating out from you. When you receive energy in you directly from the source you can feel this energy building up in you and you can feel it radiating into the other levels of your being and also into the world that is around you. This is one of the two ways that the energy body or the light body appears. It feels as a sphere of energy or light.
The energy body, which can also be called the body of the soul or the soul body, grows through what we experience in life. In a normal way of development this is a natural maturing in a life centered on God. As we gather our individual experiences and we grow in love and wisdom, we each mature in different ways. On an energy level this can be understood as the gathering of different kinds of energy during life. These energies are forming a kind of frame for the energy body.
This is similar to how we can look at a house from the outside, out of which shines a source of life. The other appearance of the energy body is formed and limited by the house that our spirit body and physical body form for the energy body.
A window in a house can be compared to a function that the energy body has on the more external levels of the spirit body and physical body. In your meditations you can concentrate on the inner energies that make up your being and you can learn to distinguish between the energy construction that the energy body forms and the forms of the spirit body and the physical body.
The energy body will have a form similar to the spirit body, and in lesser degree to the physical body. We can still sense the origin of the energy of the energy body, like a light within shining out through the energy body, affecting our own spirit body and physical body and the world around us. At the same time the energy body takes on a form that is sensible on the level of energy and that is similar to both the spirit body and the physical body.
