Understanding the Etheric Body of Plants
The physical body of a plant is embedded in its etheric body, which is characterized by repetition. The power of the etheric body is seen in the repetitive nature of plant growth, such as the unfolding of leaves. The astral body cloaks the plant and brings about its completion in the blossom and fruit. The etheric and astral bodies work together in balance, with the astral body dampening the etheric body's endless growth. The physical expression of the etheric body in humans is seen in the repetition of rings in the spinal column.
