Understanding Energy

Would you like to have more energy? More zest for life? Put
that spring back in your step? The truth is lack of vitality affects
everyone at times. You know the feeling. The alarm goes off and
you struggle to wake up. Sometimes it seems like you could sleep
forever. Life hands you a challenge and you feel too drained to deal
with it. Dread seeps in. It’s hard to get excited about anything. You
try eating better and getting more rest but you still can’t seem to
bounce back. Where did your energy go?
You get home from work feeling exhausted after a long,
intense week and can’t wait to take a shower and relax for the
evening. The thought of going to bed early sounds very appealing.
But then the phone rings. It’s a friend you’re fond of and haven’t
seen in awhile. She‘s in the area for a meeting that ended earlier
than expected and she wants to get together. Suddenly you perk up
and have more energy than you’ve had all week. You stay up late
talking and enjoying every moment. Where did that energy come
from?
We’ve been told that energy comes from food. If you eat a
good, healthy diet you will have more energy. But if energy comes
from food then we should be able to eat more and have more energy.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Eating more eventually
brings on obesity so we end up overweight and fatigued.
We’ve also been told that energy comes from adequate
exercise and good sleep. But the same logical extension applies.
If energy comes from exercise, by exercising constantly we should
2 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

gain more energy. But we don’t. Eventually we lose energy and get
exhausted. If energy comes from sleep, by sleeping all the time we
should have more energy. But we don’t.
We are told it’s a question of balancing a healthy diet with
adequate exercise and good sleep. If these three factors are in
harmony, the body will manufacture energy. But you can sleep,
exercise and eat well, yet still feel depleted. Where does the energy
go? At times, it’s also possible to be deprived of sleep, food, or
exercise, yet still feel great. Where does that energy come from?
We are told that energy derives from within our body’s cells.
A biochemical reaction takes place between the cell’s mitochondria
and a large molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is
considered the energy source of all living things. It is commonly
referred to as the energy currency of the cell and is said to be
responsible for powering all the activity of your entire system. ATP
energy can be converted into electrical energy, into other chemical
bonds, or into the power used for movement by the contraction
of your muscle cells. This formula is well understood and heavily
documented in medical textbooks. If you study any aspect of
human health, from a basic high school biology class to becoming a
full fledged medical doctor, you will find the same explanation for
where energy comes from: a biochemical reaction involving ATP
and the cell’s mitochondria.
There’s just one problem: it doesn’t quite work that way.
It turns out the ATP explanation is only half true. A new scientific
understanding of human energy has emerged in the last few decades
that overturned the long established wisdom about how your body
works. Compelling research over a span of 15 years by biophysicists
shows the energy necessary to power the human body must include
some other source.

The Unaccounted For Energy

When Nobel Prize winning biophysicist A.V. Hill looked

deeply into the workings of ATP he discovered something missing.1
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 3

He found that the mitochondria/ATP explanation could not

account for all of the energy necessary to power the human body.
Although over 60% of the energy needed to function was due to that
biochemical interaction, the rest was a mystery. That means almost
40% of the energy was unexplained and could not be attributed to
any biological functioning whatsoever. Dr. Hill referred to this as
the unaccounted for energy and called upon fellow scientists to
address the issue.
Support for this invisible energy source has grown to the
extent that in 1994 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) formally
recognized the existence of a biofield, a non-physical energy that
surrounds and permeates the human body.2 This energy is not
electromagnetic, infrared, or radio wave. It is something other.
Researchers from a variety of fields keep encountering it and so
it goes by many names. Sometimes called subtle energy, etheric
energy, zero point energy, epigenetic phenomena, or matrix
energy, the consensus is this energy is responsible for a great deal
of our functioning.3 Much has been written about energy from these
various perspectives. My goal is not to dispute or support their
claims but to take them at face value and describe what this means
for you and your energy health.
When energy is brought into the picture many mysteries of
the human body find their answers. Although subtle energy greatly
impacts health, most of us don’t know about it. Somehow this
key component has not found its way into mainstream medicine.
Because conventional medicine is based solely in the physical
sciences, it doesn’t allow for anything other than what can be
physically observed and measured. To understand the “unaccounted
for” energy, we have to go outside the comfort zone of the familiar.
There is a story about a man who lost his keys. It was dark
outside and he was frantically searching under a streetlight. A
passerby happened upon him and asked, “What are you looking
for?” The man replied that he had lost his keys. The passerby then
asked, “Where is the last place you saw them?” to which the man
replied, “Over there in the park.” This prompted the passerby to ask,
4 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

“So why aren’t you looking over there?” The man replied, “Because
the light is better here.”
So it is with conventional medical approaches. The keys to
unlocking health problems are sought in the physical body because
that is familiar and comfortable. When the answers are not to be
found, the search continues in the same place and we are told
there is simply no explanation. Of course, the answers will never
be found if they are sought in the wrong place. The search must be
expanded.
Looking at the unresolved issues that plague modern
medicine, we can see the need for change. Of all countries in the
world, the US ranks tops in health care spending, yet life expectancy
is a dismally low forty-first.4 Health care expenses in 2006 accounted
for over 15% of the US gross domestic product. Despite increased
costs and advances in health care, more people are suffering from
a variety of ailments that range from cancer, heart disease, stroke,
autoimmune dysfunctions, and obesity to various forms of mental
illness. Children are being medicated at increasingly younger ages
for anxiety and attention disorders and the number of Americans
with Alzheimer’s has doubled since 1980, affecting almost five
million adults.5
Conflicting health advice has reached epidemic proportions.
For every study that advocates a particular healthcare approach,
there seems to be another cautioning against it. Mixed messages
abound about everything from diet and sun exposure to medical
treatments and their side effects. Frustrated and confused, people
are responding by taking health matters into their own hands and
doing so without medical guidance. A full 62% of participants in
a National Institutes for Health survey use alternative approaches
to improve their health and the majority do not consult a medical
practitioner.6 Clearly, something is missing when it comes to
mainstream health care options, and that “something” can be
summed up in one word: energy.
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 5

The Vital Force

In spring of 2006 a class of 29 students went on a field trip

to Fort Lauderdale Park for their forensics class. To help enhance
their experience of doing investigative work, the teacher had
planted crime scene clues in the park, including strategically placed
individuals posing as dead bodies. But the students happened upon
a body that to them seemed a little too dead. Imagine their surprise
when they discovered it was the actual corpse of a homeless man
who had died of natural causes. Without disturbing the body, how
could they tell the difference between a real dead body and someone
playing dead? The difference is energy. A living body has its vital
force intact whereas a corpse does not.
The idea that living systems contain a vital force is not
new. Vital energy has been recognized and actively worked with
for thousands of years in various health systems. In traditional
Chinese medicine the vital force plays a significant role. The energy
channels flowing through the physical body are directly accessed
by the careful placement of acupuncture needles. The needles act
as tiny lightning rods attracting and redirecting the body’s subtle
energies. Acupressure, which utilizes the same channels without
needles, also works with vital energy. Martial arts such as Kung
Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong, Taekwondo, Karate, and Judo are all based in
an understanding of the vital force. In Yoga and in Ayurveda, the
Hindu science of life, energy is recognized as key to health. Across
the spectrum from Tibetan medicine to Maori, Zulu, and Hawaiian
healing methods energy plays a major role. In fact, in every
indigenous system of medicine as well as in modern chiropractics,
osteopathy, and homeopathy energy is a central concept.7
But when it comes to conventional Western medicine the
energy aspect has been absent. If you go to the doctor and complain
about feeling de-energized there is little to be done. Even when the
situation becomes dire, as in the case of chronic fatigue, there is no
treatment. Why has the vital force been overlooked? Most likely it’s
because Western medicine developed through the dissection and
6 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

study of cadavers. In other words, dead bodies. It’s like examining

a matchstick whose flame is already extinguished versus one that
is actively burning. A dead body no longer has its vital force—its
interactive energy—intact. Conventional Western medicine offers a
highly sophisticated understanding of the physical components of
maladies but the energy aspect is missing.

Energy Comes From Energy

It is energy itself—not diet, sleep, or exercise—that gives you

energy. Energy comes from energy, flows into energy, and returns to
energy of differing forms. To focus our investigation, we’ll look into
four basic energy bodies, one of which we’ve already mentioned.
The vital force, or vital body, is responsible for your vitality, your
“get-up-and-go” energy. The vital body animates you and brings
you to life. It carries the vital force that is responsible for your
overall health and your physical body’s ability to heal. In fact, the
vital body is so intimately coupled with the physical body that they
must be understood together, as two aspects of the same body—a
vital/physical body. You are a living being, not a dead corpse. Your
vital body is intricately woven into your physical body. Despite that,
for convenience sake, I refer to the vital body and physical body as
though they are distinct, their dual aspect must be kept in mind:
they are two sides of the same coin.
Your vital body is responsible for the proper intake and
correct distribution of energy throughout your system. It is directly
linked to physical health as well as to mental functioning and
emotional wellbeing. In fact, your vital body is greatly affected
by thoughts and emotions. In turn, it affects your physical body
and provides the invisible link between your mind and your body.
The seamless connection of your mind and body can no longer be
denied. Although thoughts and feelings cannot be viewed under a
microscope, newly developed biotechnologies now track their effects
in the physical body. It’s possible to watch a computer monitor
and actually see a person’s brain and body change in response to
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 7

stressful thoughts or feelings. Thoughts and emotions themselves

act as powerful energy forces.
It’s well known that stress, meaning distress, is the great
destroyer of health and wellbeing. It’s the common denominator
in all ten of the top deadly diseases. That’s because stress drains
vitality. It depletes energy in stealthy ways since virtually anything
can produce stress. Even happy events, such as a work promotion
or a marriage ceremony, can be stressful.
One approach to stress reduction is to remove the stressors.
If your distress comes from job related issues, relationship conflict,
or traffic congestion the solution is to quit the job, end the conflicted
relationship, and drive at a different
time. In other words, change the external It is energy
conditions. But this potentially creates itself
even more stress and often doesn’t solve
the problem. Anyone who has frequently that gives
switched jobs, altered schedules, or ended you energy.
relationships realizes that we can change
the externals but we take our problems with us. Often, the external
approach is not really a solution but an attempted quick fix. It’s only
a matter of time before the old stressors creep in again or new ones
take their place. Our control of the external environment is limited.
Plus, any situation is a potential stressor.
On the way to work when traffic gets backed up, some
people react by getting distressed but others don’t. That means
the stress is not out there in the traffic; it’s inside the distressed
person. By definition, stress is produced by an inability to adapt to
change. Instead of adapting to a situation there is resistance. Thus,
resistance is the true cause of stress. Your resistance or inability to
adapt is determined by what goes on inside of you—what you are
thinking and feeling at the time; your attitude toward the situation.
Stress does not exist outside of you. Your reaction emerges out
of your internal thoughts and feelings. Unlike the traffic, this is
something you do have control over. The exercises in this book are
designed to give you this kind of self-mastery.
8 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

In addition to vital energy, thoughts and feelings constitute

two more types of energies we will investigate. Just as your vital body
is responsible for your vitality, your emotional body is responsible for
your feelings and your mental body for your thoughts. These energy
bodies can be understood as distinct but overlapping channels of
experience. Let’s look at the simple act of drinking a glass of water.
The physical aspect of drinking involves bodily processes. Your lips
part to receive the glass, you taste the water as you swallow and
feel it go down your esophagus. Your emotional experience refers to
how you feel about it—sad, happy, anxious, grateful, etc. Then there
are your thoughts; another simultaneous, yet distinct, aspect of
your water-drinking experience. To put it all together, you can feel
the physical sensation of the water going down while experiencing
it as a happy thing and find yourself thinking about yesterday’s rain
shower that conveniently happened while you were inside a shop
and then abruptly finished in time for you to get home completely
dry. Your thoughts are distinguishable from your feelings, which
are distinct from your bodily sensations; yet they all overlap.
So far we have accounted for your physical, emotional,
and mental channels of experience. But there is something more.
Although it’s tempting to use the word spiritual, we’ll avoid it. Too
many people equate the spiritual with religion and we don’t want
to confuse the two. For lack of a better word, we’ll use the term
universal instead. If you think about it, any aspect of your internal
experience can be seen as belonging to one of four arenas—the vital/
physical, emotional, mental, or something beyond these (universal).
You have four bodies in one.8 Your physical, emotional, mental,
and universal bodies constitute the equipment needed to function
in life and your vital body is their power supply. The vital body is
responsible for the energy needed to charge your other bodies.
Your four bodies are not separate. On the contrary, they
are overlapping and quite interconnected. But rarely are these four
parts of you in agreement. That’s why it’s sometimes difficult to
make decisions and, once you make them, it can be hard to follow
through. Each one of your bodies has an agenda of its own and
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 9

can pull you in different directions, a big waste of energy. Each of

the bodies is prone to certain conditions, which we will explore in
depth, along with their solutions. The four bodies comprise your
subtle energy make-up and are responsible for your overall energy
health.

Energy is Inergy

Unfortunately, the word energy is confusing because it’s

used to refer to a wide variety of things. It tends to conjure up
images of electricity, nuclear power, wind generators, and the like.
The subtle energy we’re concerned with has three distinct qualities
that get missed by the generic term energy. Our energy is:

• Accessed internally
• Nonphysical energy
• Coupled with information

First, the energies of vitality, emotions, thoughts and so forth

are found inside of you. Despite outward appearances or what you
may display to the world, you—and only you—know what is going
on inside of you at any given moment via the invisible energy bodies
described above (vital, emotional, mental and universal). These
subtle energy channels are unique to living humans. Machines
cannot produce them. They are experienced subjectively, inside of
you, and you have the capacity to be aware of them. Only you know
what you are feeling, thinking and experiencing internally at any
given moment.
Second, as already discussed, subtle energy is nonphysical.9
This means it is essentially not electromagnetic (although it may
show up this way in the physical body) nor is it the energy produced
by the cell’s mitochondria/ATP interaction mentioned at the start of
this chapter. It is beyond the perceptible range of ordinary physics
and does not necessarily abide by physical laws.
10 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

At the turn of the 20th Century when scientists probed

deeply into physical matter to discover what we are truly made of,
they were stunned to find that dense material substance consists of
mostly empty space. Further investigation revealed that so-called
“empty” space is not so empty. Quite the opposite of a vacuum, space
is a dynamic and absolute fullness of luminous infinite energy.10

• In one cubic centimeter of empty space, there is

energy greater than the total amount of energy
embedded in all matter in the known universe
• Matter is actually space itself in a crystallized,
condensed energy form
• Space is efflorescent, radiating and consisting of
woven light
• At a very short distance (10 to the minus 33cm) space
and time as we know it break down into a dynamic
froth, called the quantum foam
• If you took all the mass in the visible universe and
fused it together into pure energy, and then took all
that energy and compressed it into 1 cubic centimeter,
you’d still have to add about 14 more orders of
magnitude to even come close to the potency of this
foam
• You are this energy

Since quantum physics has been around for over a century,

its application to our functioning seems long overdue. We must
come to understand ourselves according to what is now known
about the true nature of reality: energy in various forms is the core
of everything, including us.
Third, this energy is laced with information.11 Sometimes
called enformy or active information, subtle energy is intelligent,
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 11

informed, and responsive. Thus, your bodily system is best

understood as a communication system.12 Subtle energy contains
messages that impact us but often we don’t know how to interpret
them. It’s as if we are living in a 3-D movie but we’re not wearing
the special glasses to really see what’s going on. Because subtle
energies are intimately coupled with information, they are meant
to be interacted with. You can learn to encode and decode their
messages. This book will teach you ways of doing that.
To help distinguish this type of subtle energy from other
types of energy we’ll use the term inergy, which translates as,
energy coupled with information and accessed inside (energy
+ information + inside = inergy). It refers to the subtle energy/
information channels accessible inside you. To serve as a reminder
of the unique qualities of this type of energy, from now on I will be
using the term inergy instead of energy.
Let’s try a simple exercise to give you a hands-on experience
of this inergy. 12 The following exercise, like many in the remainder
of the book, asks you to close your eyes and use your internal senses.
This requires reading ahead in order to follow the instructions of the
exercise. (To help free your hands and eyes from being tied to the
book, go to [Link] for free audio downloads
in which I facilitate many of the exercises.)

Exercise: Sensing Inergy

• Hold both of your hands in front of you, shoulder

width apart with your palms facing up.
• Read ahead to the end of the exercise and then close
your eyes to do the exercise. It’s important to keep
your eyes closed during the entire exercise because
you are asked to feel and sense your hands but not
look at them visually.
12 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

• Close your eyes and focus your awareness on your

two hands. Pay particular attention to sensing the
size of your hands. How do they feel? Does one hand
feel larger or smaller than the other? Are they about
the same size? If you’re like most people, your two
hands will feel very similar in size with your eyes
closed.
• Then pick one of your hands; it doesn’t matter which
one. Keeping your eyes closed, focus your whole
attention on the chosen hand. Send a clear message
to the chosen hand that this hand is bigger than the
other. Spend at least one full minute with focused
attention sending that specific inergy (energy/
information) to the chosen hand. Tell your chosen
hand that it is much longer than your other hand.
Visualize that your fingers are longer, your palm is
wider, and your overall hand is larger. Again, take as
least a minute to sincerely do this.
• Then, keeping your eyes closed, recheck the size
of your hands by sensing the hands. Do they feel
different? How do they compare? Does one hand
feel larger or smaller than the other?
• When the comparison feels complete, you can open
your eyes.

If you’re like most people, you will sense an important

difference in the size of your hands after completing the exercise.
When you have your eyes closed, the hand that you focused on will
feel considerably larger than the other. It’s as if your chosen hand
received the message and responded accordingly. But what about
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 13

your physical hand? When you open your eyes you can see that your
hand is not physically larger. Your eyes indicate that your hands are
still the same size. So what difference does it make if you imagine
your hand getting bigger? Or, put another way, what difference does
it make if you use your intent to visualize your hand getting bigger
and then sense it is so?
We know that we have five senses: vision, hearing, taste,
touch, and smell. These senses extend out into the world and detect
the sights, sounds, smells and stimuli of our external environment.
What we are not told is that, in addition to those external senses,
we also have internal senses. In the exercise above, five internal
senses were used: attention, visualization, self-talk, self-sensing,
and intent. These senses detect and influence the unseen world of
inergies. When you focus your inergy/intent on your chosen hand
to get bigger, believe it or not, the vital body of your chosen hand
can actually respond by growing in size.13 Your internal senses are
inergy tools designed to detect and interact with the inergy aspects
of your system.
There’s a fundamental difference between external and
internal senses. External senses help us orient to the material world,
giving us information about the physical environment. Internal
senses help us orient to the unseen world of inergies. Just as we
rely on our external senses to guide us as we navigate through the
physical world, our internal senses are necessary in the world of
inergies. We’ll learn more about your internal senses and four bodies
(vital, emotional, mental, and universal) in the next chapter.

How to Use This Guide

If you want to have a fit and healthy physical body, you may
join a gym and consult with a personal trainer. The trainer acts as
a health guide, assessing your particular needs, teaching you about
aspects of your body, training you in various fitness methods, and
coaching you along the way so that you can achieve your overall
health goals. Changing unhealthy habits can be difficult and many
14 Endless Energy: Chapter 1

people don’t stay the course. It requires support on the part of the
trainer and commitment to change on the part of the participant.
Although a training program can be sometimes arduous and
challenging, the job of a trainer is to make it fun and exciting while
achieving results.
If you’ll allow me to act as your inergy trainer, I will guide
you in a program to achieve optimal inergy health. The remainder of
this book is organized as a training program for your four bodies. It
starts with an assessment of your four bodies to find out their overall
condition. Then we’ll learn about each body individually, followed
by exercises specific to that particular body. At the end, we’ll bring
the pieces back together and complete a final assessment. You may
want to read the book through first to familiarize yourself with the
program before engaging in the exercises. As your personal inergy
health guide, I’ll do my best to make the experience as enjoyable
and easy as possible. Although we’ll look at each of your bodies
individually, this separation is done for the purpose of learning
more about them. In day-to-day living, the bodies overlap and can
be difficult to discern.
As with any training program, the approach used in this
book is one of many. It is not meant to replace other resources but is
meant to complement and be used in combination with them. Most
importantly, the book does not make any claim that its contents are
intended to treat or diagnose disease or psychiatric conditions. It
does not advance or substitute for medical advice or psychotherapy.
If you believe you have a physical, emotional, or mental health
problem, please consult a health professional right away.
When you work with a coach and embark on a training
program, you can enter at the beginning, intermediate or advanced
level. The exercises described are organized according to level of
difficulty, starting with beginners. Although it may be tempting to
skip a level, the exercises build on each other, so it is advised that you
start at the beginner level and advance from there. The same holds
true for training each body. The chapters are arranged in sequential
order—vital, emotional, mental, and universal—from lower to higher
Endless Energy: Understanding Energy 15

frequency with each chapter building on the previous. Although it’s

possible to skip around, some of the concepts and terms may not
make sense out of order.
This book is not meant to be an exhaustive exploration of
the inergy bodies. Rather, the intent is to present an introductory
guide with enough basic information to get you started on an inergy
health program. The field of energy medicine is emergent with new
discoveries and modalities being readily developed. This infor-
mation is a starting point, not the definitive source. Appendix A at
the end of the book contains a list of some key organizations and
websites. Stay tuned for more exciting advances! In the meantime,
the next step is to get an overview of your four inergy bodies.
 C hapter Two

Your Four Bodies

You’ve just arrived at a gathering at a friend’s house. You’re standing

near the door talking with an acquaintance when suddenly you get
the distinct impression that someone is staring at you. You can feel
the eyes. You turn around to find out who it is. Sure enough, there
is your ex on the other side of the room eying you. You finish your
conversation and walk across the room to the food table. On your
way you see your best friend from work but something tells you not
to stop and talk. You get the sense that she is in a bad mood so you
keep going. Just when you are about to pick up a plate and help
yourself to some appetizers you encounter a stranger who seems
warm and friendly. You strike up a conversation, making appropriate
small talk. As you’re conversing he keeps inching closer. When he
gets within about 12 inches, you feel uncomfortable and step back.
He steps forward. He is encroaching on your space and you can feel
it. You have to step back again. Thankfully the conversation ends
abruptly and you can eat in peace.
In this scenario a lot of information was communicated
without sound, visual cues, or touch contact. The palpable feeling
of being stared at, the vibration given off by someone in a bad
mood, the encroachment on your personal space; most of us sense
and respond to the unseen world of inergy (energy/information)
constantly without fully realizing what we are doing. Although these
kinds of experiences are commonplace—and we are often correct in
our sensibilities1—conventional science has no explanation for how
they happen. But when we bring the inergy bodies into the picture
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 17

everything comes into focus. The mysteries are solved. That’s

because your inergy bodies extend beyond your physical body for
several feet creating an invisible, sensitive, multi-layered field of
energy and information around you ( see Figure 2.1 ).
Your inergy field consists of four layers of concentric forms
that include your vital, emotional, mental, and universal bodies.2
It accounts for the “eyes at the back of your head,” as well as your
ability to sense other people’s emotions and moods. It also accounts
for a variety of experiences commonly referred to as psychic or
paranormal. The different dimensions of your inergy constitution
are called bodies because if you could actually see inergies, you would
be able to see that they have a particular form. Just as your physical
body has its unique size and shape, so do your inergy bodies.
To better understand your inergy makeup we need to
start with what we know about energy at a basic level. Namely,
Albert Einstein’s famous equation: E=mc2. You may have heard
of this before, but what does it mean in terms of your day-to-
day energy levels? With this simple equation Einstein proved the
interrelationship between the world of energy and dense physical
matter. The equation translates as: energy equals mass times the
speed of light squared. In ordinary terms, it means that energy
and matter are interchangeable. Put another way: matter is the
concentration of energy. It means that, in essence, everything is
energy of varying densities, vibrating at different speeds. Even
material objects are an expression of energy.

The Energy Continuum

Everything exists on an energy continuum ranging from the

dense physical on one end of the spectrum to the unseen “indefinable”
on the other. When the vibration slows down enough, into an ultra-
low range, energy solidifies into material substance and shows up
on the physical plane. You can see it and touch it. When the energy
vibrates fast enough, at an ultra-high frequency, the dense physical
substance drops away and energy becomes invisible. Yet it is still
18 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

present. Energy changes forms but at its essence, everything is

energy. We could say there is nothing but energy (or inergy as we
have been calling it).
A similar kind of transformation process happens when
water is heated or cooled. When water molecules are slowed down
in low temperatures, the liquid water densifies into rock solid
ice. When heated, the molecules vibrate faster and the hard ice
transforms into a more liquid form. If the water is heated enough,

Vital Body

Emotional Body

Mental Body

Universal Body

Figure 2.1 The human inergy field with four layers:

the vital, emotional, mental, and universal bodies.

the molecules continue to vibrate even faster and the water turns
into vaporized steam that eventually evaporates. Water occupies a
continuum of dense physical ice (low vibration) on one end of the
spectrum and moist air (high vibration) on the other. Although the
water changes form, its essence is still water.
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 19

Similarly, everything exists on an inergy continuum with the

lowest or slowest frequency, the world of solid substance, at one end
of the spectrum. At the other end is fast/high frequency, ethereal
vibration. Within these two extremes are several gradations. Each
of us exists on this same continuum. Not only is everything inergy
but everyone is inergy. At the lowest frequency end of the spectrum
is your physical body. It comprises a relatively small fraction of your
overall constitution. At the highest frequency end is your universal
body. In between are your vital, emotional, and mental bodies.
Using words like lowest or highest is not meant to suggest
that lower is worse and higher is better. Steam is not better than ice.
It depends on what you want to use it for. Lower and higher may
sound hierarchical but these are merely terms used to differentiate
inergy frequencies. The higher levels are not more valuable than
the lower. These words just provide a way to label two differing
frequency bands. If, for example, we were talking about musical
notes and I referred to high C and low C, that wouldn’t mean that
high C is better than low C, it just helps distinguish between the
two.
You exist on a gradated continuum that ranges from ultra-
low to ultra-high frequency inergy. This means you occupy multiple
levels of experience simultaneously. The water lily has been used as
an appropriate metaphor for understanding how this works. Just
as the water lily takes root in a muddy lake bottom, you exist on
the material plane with your vital/physical body. You have aspects
extending beyond that (your emotional and mental bodies), much
like the stem of the water lily extends up through the water forming
a lily pad on the surface. When you develop your higher frequency
aspects (universal body) you can fully blossom, just as the lily’s flower
transcends the water and blooms in the air and sunlight. Unlike
other flowers, the water lily exists on four levels (earth, water, air,
light) at the same time because it is equipped to experience these
four distinct dimensions simultaneously. Similarly, you exist on
four levels simultaneously (vital/physical, emotional, mental, and
universal) because you are equipped with four bodies that enable
you to do so.
20 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

If you are more technologically inclined, think about your

inergy make-up in terms of a common household remote control.
One button can turn on your television, one can activate your
stereo, another can switch on your DVD player, and so forth. Each
component’s signal occupies a distinct frequency band. The signals
emitted from the remote are invisible energy/information forces,
yet they are all housed together in one unit, the physical hand-
held remote control. When you press the television button only
the television turns on or off, not the stereo or DVD. The signals
are distinct but they also overlap because you can have all of the
components—the TV, DVD and stereo—activated at once.
In terms of your inergy constitution, your physical body
is akin to the remote control unit itself. Because everything is
inergy, the physical remote control unit is also inergy, vibrating at
an ultra-low frequency. Like the remote, your vital/physical body
acts as a kind of receiver, or communication matrix, for the other
frequencies.3 Your other bodies are similar to the invisible signals
of the remote. Just as the signals occupy distinct frequency bands,
so do your inergy bodies.
The lowest vibrational form that your inergy constitution
takes is the physical level of material substance; this is evident by
the fact that you have a physical body. I won’t go into detail about
the physical body because this book is about the rest of your inergy
components. Numerous books and resources are available that
focus on physical health alone. In fact, Western medicine has been
exclusively devoted to studying and repairing the dense physical
body. But there is much more to you than that.
One of the things that make humans so complex is that
we occupy multiple channels of experience simultaneously. To
continue with the remote control metaphor, the frequency bands
of the remote are not tied to a specific component, individual, or
location. They are universal frequency channels that exist invisibly
in the ethers, readily available to be used by anyone. You can buy
a universal remote at a store and program it to work with any
television or electronic component that will calibrate to a remote.
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 21

So it is with your inergy bodies. They represent your uniquely

calibrated signals that exist within larger, universally available
frequency bands (see Figure 2.2).4 The frequency bands are like
channels of experience. They consist of the vital, emotional, mental,
and universal levels. The uniquely calibrated signal is called a body
and is made up of a particular energy/information configuration.
Essentially, your unique experiences on each of the corresponding
channels of existence program your bodies. Thus, each body has a
particular shape and condition.
To find out the current condition of your inergy bodies, we’ll
start with an assessment of each. Similar to an intake questionnaire
and photo used by a personal trainer, this will give us a clearer
picture of each of your inergy bodies to help assess their needs. It
will also be used for “before and after” comparisons. (A copy of the
assessment is provided at the end of the book in an Epilogue so you
can retake it, if you choose, after you’ve had a chance to do some of
the inergy exercises in the upcoming chapters.)

Your Internal Senses

To do the assessment you are asked to use your internal

senses, a level of functioning you are constantly enacting but may
not know by name. We have quite a few internal senses5 but we will
focus on six to begin with.

• Attention
• Intention
• Visualization
• Self-Talk
• Self-Sensing
• Self-Observation

called the planes of existence, and the four inergy bodies

Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 23

These senses are valuable internal resources. Just as the

external senses of, say, seeing and hearing are vital to physical
health, your internal senses are essential to your inergy health.

Attention
Inergy is responsive to attention. When you pay attention
to something, you focus your external and internal senses on it.
Your attention is like a spotlight that illuminates and brings to life
that which it is directed upon. Simply put, inergy follows attention.
Your attention in and of itself has potency.6 What you focus your
attention on receives inergy and is changed at a fundamental level.
Sometimes called the observer effect, the idea is that the very act of
observing something alters it in some way.
This surprising aspect of reality was first touched on by Nobel
Prize winning physicist Werner Heisenberg when he published the
mathematics of the Uncertainty Principle around 1926. The notion
was further substantiated by the Copenhagen Interpretation in
which an unobserved object is said to exist as potential until the
observer chooses what to observe. The mere act of observation, of
bringing your attention to something, inevitably changes it. Your
attention is a transformative inergetic tool. We will discuss more
about how this works in Chapter 9.

Intention
If attention is like a spotlight then intention is like a laser
beam. Intention is attention infused with will (another internal
sense). You are not just paying attention to something, you
are willfully desiring a particular outcome. Inergy is extremely
responsive to intent.7 Intent can be used to mobilize your own inergy
and to direct inergies to any place you choose at any time.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil, on June 3, 1998, three healers were
directing healing intention to five volunteers who were over 6000
miles away in a research lab in Las Vegas, Nevada.8 The five
volunteers were hooked up to various monitoring devices to measure
their heart rates, blood volume, breathing, and skin activity. At the
24 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

exact timed intervals that the healers were sending their healing
intent, the volunteers were registering the effects with monitor
lights blinking and gauges fluctuating. During intervals when there
was no intent, there were no effects, a clear demonstration of the
precise power of intent.
Experiments such as this and hundreds of others confirm
the effects of human intent on everything from fellow humans, to
animals, insects, plants, bacteria, yeasts, cancer cells, and DNA.9
We will discuss more about how this works in Chapter 7.

Visualization
Visualization is the capacity to use your mind to form
concepts. We all have this ability but some have developed it more
than others. Unlike the name suggests visualization is not limited
to the visual realm. Probably a better term would be sensualization,
because more than just the visual sense is potentially involved. Some
people orient visually and are able to conjure up clear, vivid mental
pictures or movies. Some who are more auditory think in terms of
sounds or words. Others, more kinesthetic, will experience bodily
sensations and feelings, a felt-sense about something. Additional
orientations include mathematical, spatial, and musical. Ideally,
we would want to employ as many senses as possible. Still, the
three primary processes are visual, auditory and kinesthetic, with
one of the three typically more predominant. When I use the word
visualization I am including the other orientations as well, not just
the visual.
Visualization, or guided imagery, is a potent tool for
mobilizing inergies that is often successfully used by athletes to
improve performance.10 In one simple study participants were
divided into three groups. One group was asked to go to a nearby
gym every day for 20 minutes and practice making basketball free
throws. A second group was asked to stay home and simply visualize
completing successful free throws for 20 minutes each day. The
third group, the control group, did nothing. After a month there
was only one percent difference in the achievement level of those
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 25

who actually practiced free throws at the gym (24% improvement)

versus those who stayed home and visualized (23% improvement).
The control group showed no change. This experiment and others
like it have been repeated with consistent results.
Visualization is imagination with intent. It is not day
dreaming, brainstorming, or stream of consciousness thinking. It is
not about opening your mind up to see what floats in. Visualization is
purposeful imagining that involves holding a specific focus through
the power of concentration. When you focus your sense of smell on
a fragrant flower, for example, the invisible scent molecules waft
toward your nose so you can take them in. Similarly, when you use
your internal sense of visualization to focus on something, you attract
corresponding inergies from the surroundings to bring the changes
you desire into existence. The more clear your concentration, the
stronger your results. We will learn more about the mechanisms of
this in Chapter 7.

Self-Talk
Just as we all visualize, we all talk to ourselves. Researchers
refer to this as explanatory style, but most of us know it as the
“tapes” playing inside our heads, the noisy mind, or the inner critic.
Self-talk constitutes the messages you tell yourself about what you
experience and it has profound effects on your health.11 None of us
perceives reality in its pure form. It is always subject to personal
interpretation. The meaning you give to what you perceive, how you
view it, what you feel about it, the pictures you envision, the words
and phrases you tell yourself—this is your self-talk. Such internal
dialogue may take various forms but it still qualifies as self-talk.
For some people it’s more visual, for others more verbal, or even a
felt-sense.
If you have visual self-talk you likely see pictures and images
in your head, as if you are playing an internal movie that parallels
your life experience. A person whose self-talk is more sensate will
tend to feel subtle internal impressions and physical sensations
in response to life. If your self-talk is verbal, you probably have a
26 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

running commentary going on. Your experience of the world would

be primarily processed through words and sounds. You may also
have a combination of these. The point is, we do interact with
ourselves internally. We encourage, nag, inform, criticize, support
and entertain ourselves through an inner channel of expression.
This is the internal sense of self-talk.

Self-Sensing
While self-talk represents a relatively narrow channel of
communication, you also have the capacity to expand your focus to
fill your entire body. This is self-sensing. While self-talk is primarily
a channel of internal expression, self-sensing is a mode of internal
listening. It is an inner-focused, subjective stance of experiencing
yourself from the “inside-out.” It occurs by shifting your attention
away from an external focus and directing your attention toward
an internal focus, then broadening your focus to include your
whole body. Self-sensing can be used to sense into a selected organ,
such as your lungs or liver. It can also be used to sense pain or to
apprehend more subtle internal sensations. Because inergy follows
attention, bringing your attention inside your body via self-sensing
has proven therapeutic effects.12 It allows you to experience a vast
array of internal functioning including bodily sensations, feelings,
thoughts, intentions, insights, dreams, imaginings, and so forth. It
is a broad channel of internal receptivity that opens you up to a
variety of inergies.

Self-Observation
Self-observation refers to the ability to observe what is
going on inside of you. It includes the array of internal functioning
mentioned above and may sound identical to self-sensing. However,
there is a fundamental difference between the two. With self-
sensing, you are actually experiencing the multitude—or specifically
selected—internal functioning that you are focused upon. You are
actively engaged with your inner landscape. In contrast, with self-
observation you are observing it in a more detached way. You are
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 27

witnessing or watching what is going on inside of you, spectating,

as it were, instead of actively participating. Sometimes this practice
is called mindfulness. We will discover more about the importance
of self-observation in Chapter 7.

Before and After Assessment

Now that you have a basic understanding of your internal

senses, let’s return to our Before and After assessment. Starting with
your vital body, we‘ll look into the condition of each body through
a series of simple questions. Keep the results of your inventory in
a place where you can refer back to them as a useful reference for
the remainder of the book in which we explore each of your bodies
individually. The book ends with a re-take of the assessment in the
Epilogue.

Your Vital Body

The four part Before and After assessment begins with your
vital body, which requires a brief overview to help you complete
the first step. We’ll explore this body in more detail in the next
chapter. Your vital body is woven into your physical body and
extends beyond it for several inches. It constitutes your power-
supply, responsible for distributing life-force inergy throughout
your system. When your vital body is healthy you have stamina and
feel invigorated. You glow, radiating health and vitality. When your
vital body is depleted, you feel de-energized and lethargic. Much
effort is required to move through your day, as if you were somehow
swimming against life’s current.
Although the condition of your vital body may fluctuate
throughout the day, the intention here is to get a general idea of
it. Using the following exercise as a guide, answer the questions
keeping in mind the overall condition of your vital body.
28 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

Exercise: Vital Body Assessment

• Find a quiet place in which you can focus without

distraction.
• Be in a seated position, as comfortable as possible.
• Take a couple of slow, deep breaths.
• Gently close your eyes and intentionally shift your
attention away from an external focus toward an
internal focus, awakening your internal senses.
• Once you have made this shift, again using the power
of your intent, consciously focus your attention on
your vital body to the best of your ability. Using self-
talk, tell yourself that you are now focusing on your
vital body.
• Do your best to sense into your vitality, the substance
of your vital body, using your capacity to self-sense.
How does it feel? What is your vitality level? Energized
or depleted? Focus your attention specifically on
your vital body and allow yourself to get a palpable
experience of it to the best of your ability. There is no
right or wrong, just use an attitude of curiosity.
• Then shift to a self-observer mode, where you are
looking at your vital body instead of experiencing it.
Like a detached detective, examine your vital body,
noticing everything you can about it.
• Ask yourself the following questions and jot down
your answers on a sheet of paper.
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 29

• Spend 15-30 seconds with each question. If nothing

comes up as you ask the question, leave it blank and
move on to the next.
• What does your vital body look like?
• How big is it?
• What color is it?
• What shape is it?
• How does it move?
• What does it sound like?
• What does it feel like?
• If your vital body could speak, what would it say?
• What is the overall condition of your vital body?
• Take a moment to draw a simple sketch of your vital
body.

Your Emotional Body

Although your vital body plays an important role in your
health and wellbeing, there is much more to you than that. In
addition to having vitality and the power to move, you also have
the capacity to experience emotions. Just as your physical body has
its unique shape, so does your emotional body. It is formed by your
experiences on the emotional plane. This channel of experience is
quite vast and alluring with many tantalizing adventures available.
The deepest, darkest lows to the most ecstatic highs—and everything
in between—can be found on the emotional channel.
We know that colds and flu get passed around on the
physical level but emotions, too, are extremely contagious. In fact,
30 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

research shows that within two minutes of being in the same room
with someone who is experiencing a strong emotion—pleasant or
unpleasant—you pick up on the emotion and begin to experience
it yourself.13 In a vivid example of how invisible inergies affect us,
it doesn’t matter what you’ve previously been feeling and it doesn’t
even matter if the person is a loved one or a complete stranger. This
phenomenon is referred to as emotional contagion.14
Since many of us have unhealthy emotional bodies, it’s easy
to contract inergetic pathogens and pass them around like a social
virus. Fear and anger seem to have reached epidemic proportions,
but there is no “vaccine.” If you practice the exercises in this book,
however, you can do a lot to boost your emotional body’s immune
system. We’ll look further into your emotional body in Chapter 5.
Use the following exercise as a guide to assess the overall
condition of your emotional body.

Your Mental Body

Your mental body is probably very familiar to you since most
of our educational system is focused on developing it. Your mental
body gives you the capacity to think thoughts, which is a frequency
channel distinct from the emotional or vital. Concerned with facts,
linear logic, reasoning, and opinions, it allows you to analyze and
synthesize information. When you are engaged in problem-solving
and trying to figure things out, you are exercising your mental
body.
Your mental body also is capable of self-awareness and
self-monitoring. A highly developed mental body has the power
of concentration and capacity to hold a focus. It is concerned with
wisdom and truths in addition to knowledge and facts. It can be
used for thinking about the bigger picture and gaining insights. The
mental body allows you to see behind things, to see the essence of
things, and “connect the dots” of your experience. Because of its
close proximity to your emotional body, your mental body can
be heavily influenced by emotional concerns. We’ll explore your
mental body further in Chapter 7.
Use the following exercise as a guide to assess the overall
condition of your mental body.
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 33

Exercise: Mental Body Assessment

• Find a quiet place in which you can focus without

distraction.
• Be in a seated position, as comfortable as possible.
• Take a couple of slow, deep breaths.
• Gently close your eyes and intentionally shift your
attention away from an external focus toward an
internal focus, awakening your internal senses.
• Once you have made this shift, again using the power
of your intent, consciously focus your attention on
your mental body to the best of your ability. Using
self-talk, tell yourself that you are now focusing on
your mental body.
• Do your best to sense into your thoughts, the
substance of your mental body, using your capacity
to self-sense. What kind of thoughts are there? What
is your mental landscape like? Is it slow, spacious or
quiet? Fast, noisy or crowded? Focus your attention
specifically on your mental body and allow yourself
to get a palpable experience of it to the best of your
ability. There is no right or wrong, just use an attitude
of curiosity.
• Then shift to a self-observer mode, where you are
looking at your mental body instead of experiencing
it. Like a detached detective, examine your mental
body, noticing everything you can about it.
• Ask yourself the following questions and jot down
your answers on a sheet of paper.
34 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

• Spend 15-30 seconds with each question. If nothing

comes up as you ask the question, leave it blank and
move on to the next.
• What does your mental body look like?
• How big is it?
• What color is it?
• What shape is it?

• What does it sound like?
• What does it feel like?
• If your mental body could speak, what would it
say?
• What is the overall condition of your mental
body?
• Take a moment to draw a sketch of your mental
body.

Your Universal Body

In addition to your physical, emotional, and mental bodies
you have a universal body. This body is concerned with awareness
that is beyond the intellect, beyond the mind as we know it.
It is associated with intuitive insights, right use of will, unity
consciousness, and beingness itself. These may be hard concepts to
grasp at first, especially since they are difficult to describe in words.
It may be helpful to think about your universal body as occupying
the space in between your thoughts and feelings. Since your actions,
thoughts and emotions are always changing, can they be who you
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 35

are? When you are not thinking, doing, or feeling, you are still here,
so there must be something more to you.
When physicists were splitting atoms over a hundred years
ago to find the core of our existence, they discovered that, at its
essence, matter is not fixed. It is open-ended energy. It is no-thing.
Your universal body is no-thing: it is not physical substance, action,
emotion or thought. We could say it is closer to the essence of who
you are since you are not your physical body, actions, emotions,
or thoughts. You are the one who initiates the actions, experiences
the emotions, thinks the thoughts. These things come and go but
you—the universal you—remain constant. To refer back to the
remote control metaphor, the universal body is the operator of the
remote, the one pressing the buttons and doing the channel surfing.
For now, we just want to get a glimpse of your universal body. We
will explore it in more depth in Chapter 9.
Use the following exercise as a guide to assess the overall
condition of your universal body.

Exercise: Universal Body Assessment

• Find a quiet place in which you can focus without

distraction.
• Be in a seated position, as comfortable as possible.
• Take a couple of slow, deep breaths.
• Gently close your eyes and intentionally shift your
attention away from an external focus toward an
internal focus, awakening your internal senses.
• Once you have made this shift, again using the power
of your intent, consciously focus your attention on
36 Endless Energy: Chapter 2

your universal body to the best of your ability. Using

self-talk, tell yourself that you are now focusing on
your universal body.
• Do your best to sense into the space between
your thoughts and feelings, the substance of your
universal body, using your capacity to self-sense.
How do you experience it? What is your universal
landscape like? Can you be in the no-thingness?
Focus your attention specifically on your universal
body and allow yourself to get a palpable experience
of it to the best of your ability. There is no right or
wrong, just use an attitude of curiosity.
• Then shift to a self-observer mode, in which you
look at your universal body instead of experiencing
it. Like a detached detective, examine your universal
body, noticing everything you can about it.
• Ask yourself the following questions and jot down
your answers on a sheet of paper.
• Spend 15-30 seconds with each question. If nothing
comes up as you ask the question, leave it blank and
move on to the next.
• What does your universal body look like?
• How big is it?
• What color is it?
• What shape is it?
• How does it move?
• What does it sound like?
Endless Energy: Your Four Bodies 37

• What does it feel like?

• If your universal body could speak, what would
it say?
• What is the overall condition of your universal
body?
• Take a moment to draw a sketch of your universal
body.

The vital/physical, emotional, mental and universal bodies

make up your inergy constitution. They represent gradations of
inergy on a continuum that ranges from ultra-low frequency dense
physical matter at one end, to extreme-high frequency universal
inergies at the other. Our four bodies give us four different channels
of experience. But sometimes we limit ourselves to only a few
channels. It’s as if we own a four-story penthouse with a great view
but we end up hanging out in the parking garage. We do not utilize
all that is available to us.
When you look at the assessments of your bodies together
you can get a sense of your overall inergy health. How do your
bodies compare? You may find that one or more of your bodies
is underweight and neglected. Conversely, you may also find that
a particular body is demanding all of your attention. It may be
overweight or over-trained. Ideally, we want all of the bodies to
be fit, healthy, and working cooperatively together. The next step
toward this goal is to take a look at each of your bodies individually,
starting with your vital body.

About the Author

Debra Greene, Ph.D., has long been interested in how the bodymind
system communicates within itself and how we interact with it.
Her background is in communication and somatics (bodymind
integration), having earned her Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
She is the founder of Inner Clarity (IC), a modality that uses
energy-based techniques to enact significant progress quickly and
efficiently.
IC is a consciousness-based approach in which energy
kinesiology (muscle testing) is used to access information from the
bodymind system. Questions are asked and answers derived in a
way that disassembles defenses and easily reveals the core of the
issue. An integrative approach, IC employs holistic counseling and
a variety of energy balancing techniques to transform limitations
in the vital/physical, emotional, mental and universal bodies. IC
combines the art of energy testing with the science of subtle energies
for “the most amount of change in the least amount of time.”
Debra is known for her ability to get to the core of energy
imbalances and facilitate lasting improvement. An engaging and
accessible speaker, she enjoys sharing her knowledge with others.
She teaches and has a private practice on Maui, where she lives, and
in the San Francisco Bay area, her second home. Please visit her on
the web.
