Elevating the Energy of the subtle body

We can take example for the sake of illustration of the aura. Most of us understand that, in the manner that the term aura is used it will have different hues or colors. Though inSelf Yoga does not endorse the significance of the aura, the illustration here can be helpful.

This aura can be akin to that texture of existence. Plus, we can now consider the aura, according to the illustration, to be the subtle body. Being aware or conscious means that one can engage in activities that all add up to one’s life energy. The totality of this energy form is also the texture of one’s existence. Where there is consciousness, there is also the texture of existence.

The most direct way to purify the subtle body or the texture of existence is bhastrika pranayama along with pratyahara sensory withdrawal. These allow one to upgrade the content of one’s subtle body from where most actions born of instincts spring forth. 

This upgrade is only possible to the degree to which it is allowed by Nature within which the texture of existence is rooted through the kundalini life force. God will accept those who purify their texture of existence to the level of His own condition, according to Himself.
