The philosophy begins not with the personality or the physical body, but with the soul and its expression through the etheric - or energy - field that surrounds and interpenetrates each one of us, focussing in seven vitalising centres (the chakras). “Our etheric is part of a vast network of energies which underlies all forms and expresses the essential non-separateness of all life.” (Alice Bailey, Esoteric Healing , page 2).

​

At the heart of this teaching lies the concept: energy follows thought. Wherever consciousness directs itself, energy flows and form responds. The healer’s task is therefore not to manipulate matter but energy, to align with the soul of their client, hold the thought of wholeness, and allow life energy to move freely again.

“Healing does not come about through intense affirmation of Divinity, or by simply pouring out love and the expression of a vague mysticism. It comes through mastering an exact science of contact, impression, of invocation plus an understanding of the subtle apparatus of the etheric [energy] vehicle.” Alice Bailey, Esoteric Healing, p.525.

​

Esoteric Healing recognises that a human being is a multi-dimensional system – spirit, soul and personality. Disease is understood as a point of friction or blockage within this flow. When fuller alignment is established with the soul, vitality and consciousness can flow into every centre, balancing the mind, emotions, endocrine glands and the nervous system.

​

This esoteric foundation is not abstract philosophy. It is a practical science, handed down through the Ageless Wisdom to students and healing practitioners. To work with these laws is to participate consciously in the great rhythm of universal life that sustains all forms.
