The Energy Body

Tantra Illuminated with Dr. Christopher Wallis

NOTE

The Energy Body is the Psyche

The energy body, also known as the psychic or mental emotional body, comprises three aspects of the psyche: mind, discernment, and ego (manas, buddhi, and ahankara), alongside five subtle elements (tanmātras). It is crucial to recognize that the energy body is not separate from the psyche; rather, they are fundamentally intertwined. Classical tantra establishes that the psyche encompasses both the mental and emotional dimensions, a concept that has only recently gained acceptance in Western thought.
