“Discover Your Subtle Body – The Practical Book for Protecting and Strengthening Your Life Energy”

Discover your subtle body is not just a book title, but my offer to you to become an expert on your own subtle body and thereby finally be at one with yourself again and stand vitally in life. The goal is nothing less than inner plenitude and a freer life.

But whether you have already dealt with the subtle or are entering new territory, I would like to ask you to put your preconceived ideas aside and be open to the direct perception of your subtle body. Set out blithely on a voyage of discovery into the subtle realm and use this book as a guide along the way.

(From Chapter 2: “Our Extended Self”)

Perhaps you remember situations in which this energy was available to you, possibly in your childhood or in your youth, when you woke up in the morning and believed that all doors were open to you. No matter how long ago that experience may have been, it gives you a prospect of what may be possible for you, even though it may seem unlikely at the present time. At the beginning of this book, I made the claim that everyone has a cornucopia of vital energy. In fact, I would say that I have yet to meet a person who did not have sufficient life force of his or her own - it's just that the access is often blocked and the task is to uncover the source and make it flow again. 

Let me describe a subtly healthy human being in an ideal state, so that a picture of the possibilities may emerge.

(From Chapter 5: “The Weightiness of Subtle Burdens”)

"Why change?" some people may ask when it comes to taking care of their own subtle health. "My grandmother never thought it necessary to deal with her subtle body, neither did my father, and I also grew up without any knowledge about it. Why should it suddenly be so important now?

Well, because our health consciousness is expanding more and more. So it was only a few centuries ago that it was unusual to bathe. Unthinkable today. From generation to generation, the understanding of what ails our physical body grew, so that today the general life expectancy is higher than ever before. With the knowledge of the subtle body, a further insight can now take hold, namely that in addition to the known physical burdens on our health, there are also those of a subtle nature that suppress our life energy.

For our comprehensive health, it is crucial to identify and neutralize these subtle burdens. They are foreign energies that obstruct our natural energy flow, like a stone that has fallen into a stream and causes eddies or congestion there.  Thus, these burdens contribute significantly to the state of inner hunger and thus to a society as we currently know it: Characterized by restlessness, irritability, time pressure and a seemingly insatiably greedy ego. Let's now take a look at what subtle burdens consist of and what effects they can have on our subtle body.
