In using the term “subtle energetic body”, I am referring to the spiritual body that is concurrent with the physical body but not typically perceivable with our visual senses.
There are many schools of thought on the types of subtle bodies and what to call them. Spirit, soul, auras, human auric field and human energy field are common references to parts of the subtle energetic body. Many of these are perceivable through equipment and modern scientific methods, such as the findings of the HeartMath® Institute.
