The Seven Levels of the Field

The detailed anatomy of your auric field — structured and unstructured levels, their colors, functions, and what they mean for your life.

Overview of the HEF

The Human Energy Field (HEF) consists of many levels or "frequency ranges" of energy. The most well-known are the first seven. Each level has a specific function related to your life process. The HEF is not layered like an onion — each level goes all the way through and extends from the physical body. Each consecutive higher-frequency level extends further out.

The levels alternate between structured (odd-numbered) and unstructured (even-numbered). This distinction is fundamental to understanding how your field works and how healing happens.

Structured vs. Unstructured Levels

Structured Levels (1, 3, 5, 7)

Composed of lines of light with bright particles flowing through them. They outline every part of the body in three dimensions — both the outside and the inside. These lines become damaged from injury and disease long before physical symptoms appear. Healing involves restructuring broken, frayed, or twisted lines.

Unstructured Levels (2, 4, 6)

Composed of diffuse, multicolored bioplasma — the substance of feelings. These are the feeling levels. Blocks accumulate here as dark, stagnant energy. Level 2 carries feelings about self; level 4 carries feelings about others; level 6 carries divine spiritual feelings.

The Seven Levels in Detail

Level 1: Etheric Body

Structured · Blue lines of light

Structured

Personal will; gives structure to the physical body

Level 2: Emotional Body

Unstructured · Colored clouds of light

Unstructured

Feelings about yourself; self-love

Level 3: Mental Body

Structured · Yellow lines of light

Structured

Rational mind; linear thinking

Level 4: Astral Body

Unstructured · Thick colored fluid (gelatin-like)

Unstructured

Feelings about others; relationship; bridge between physical & spiritual

Level 5: Etheric Template

Structured · Dark blue (like a photo negative)

Structured

Divine will within you; template for level 1

Level 6: Celestial Body

Unstructured · Amorphous beams of diffuse light

Unstructured

Higher divine feelings; spiritual love & ecstasy

Level 7: Ketheric Template

Structured · Strong gold lines of light

Structured

Higher/divine mind

The Three Aspects: Reason, Will, Emotion

Each level of the HEF is also associated with one of three aspects of life experience:

  • • Reason: Levels 3 and 7 — your rational and divine mind
  • • Will: Levels 1 and 5 — personal will and divine will
  • • Emotion/Feeling: Levels 2, 4, and 6 — feelings about self, others, and the divine

Most of us favor one or two of these aspects over the other(s), which creates distortions in the HEF. For example, if you favor reason (understanding things logically), your field becomes displaced upward toward the head. Balancing all three is part of the healing path.

Emotions vs. Feelings

Brennan makes an important distinction:

Emotions

Reactions to a situation from the past. They cause distortion in your HECS. When you react emotionally, you have fallen back into your past and are acting as if the past were now.

Feelings

Responses to a situation in the present moment. When you have feeling responses, your energy consciousness is flowing freely — not split or blocked.

Damage and Healing in the Structured Levels

The structured lines of light become damaged from:

  • • Physical injuries (breaks, tears, fraying, twisting of lines)
  • • Disease (lines damage long before physical symptoms appear)
  • • Emotional trauma (distortions in the field)

By restructuring these broken lines with Brennan Healing Science skills, the injured or diseased organ returns to health more rapidly. However, how long the restructuring holds depends on the client's overall health, readiness to change, and self-care. Several restructuring sessions are usually needed. These techniques work very well alongside normal medical care.

Self-Review: Sensing Your Levels

From Chapter 1:

  • • If you do physical activities, try sensing the lower levels (1-2) first
  • • If you're a feeling person, focus on level 2
  • • If you hold love above all, focus on level 4
  • • If you surrender to divine will, focus on level 5 (hardest to sense)
  • • If your meditations focus on bliss, try level 6
  • • If your meditations focus on stillness and divine mind, try level 7

Feel, see, hear, know, and sense the level you choose. Practice.
