1st BODY = SOUL

KEY PHRASE:

1.

“Heart vs. Head”

ARQUETYPE

The wise/ The holy person

KEY QUESTIONS:

● How can I further appreciate the compassion and creativity that I

have with myself while I’m sharing it with others?
● Does this feels like my soul’s purpose?
● Do I come from the heart?

Guru Nanak

Guru Nanak was the creative force of the Sikh Dharma. He was known
because his humility is a quality that appears when mastering the 1st body.
You become humble when you bow your head so your heart is higher that
your head. He used to say things like “I am the worm of the worms, the lowest
of the low. I am heathen. I’ve done many ruthless things in life. I’m worse that
any other person. It’s only out of your mercy that I have found your wonder.”

EXPLANATION

Intellect vs. Emotions – Heart. Overly Intellectual

Soul is the connection with your inner self. It also corresponds with apana, the
elimination energy. In Yoga, it said that a person should have a bowel
movement after each meal. In other words, if you have three meals a day you
should have three bowel movements per day.

Apana is also related to sexual energy. When the first body is working well,
you feel very creative and sexual about life. If you are afraid of connecting to
your inner self, your soul, you may have a difficult time enjoying sex.

The 1st body also corresponds to the first Chakra. The characteristics of the
1st Chakra including security, survival and a sense of being grounded.

It’s also where the Kundalini energy resides, the nuclear energy of the human
being.

Soul Body never dies. When our physical body dies, the subtle body
encapsulates the soul body and then you move on. From the yogi’s point of
view, the soul body has an exact weight of an ounce. How can something that
travels through time and space have weight? It is like energy, it can’t be
destroyed.

The soul body has a purpose in your existence. In other words, you actions
have an impact in the future as well as the present. So it is good to ask
ourselves how our actions will impact ourselves and others in the future,
whether it be in 5 years, 10 years, 500 lifetimes, 1000 lifetimes, etc.

Yogi Bhajan said that it takes 8.4 million lifetimes to become a human.

It’s the inner connection with your inner self, the balance between heart and
head. Heart as compassion, love, affection, gratitude, forgiveness and so on,
and head as the intellect, the ego. We need them both to be in harmony. In
our society, more attention is paid to the intellect and the ego than the heart’s
intuition and gratitude.

There is a connection between the inner body and the physical body. When
you begin to notice something going on in the physical body, start checking
your inner body, your soul. The body is always warning you with signals. The
aptitude toward self denial is very typical in America. If the cholesterol is high,
forget about it and never check it again. Failure to take care of the self is a
sign that the first body is not working as well as you think.

The soul needs attention. He travels with you beyond this life and sometimes
we don’t hear him.

When the soul is balanced, you feel intuitive, creative, compassionate, and so
on. For example, you won’t put yourself out of balance by putting yourself in
another’s place.

FEELING

When the number 1 is in a challenge position, one needs to learn to balance

the male energy within themselves and integrate with other people. You need
to learn to gain a respected leadership, otherwise you will be “quick from the
gate”.

MANTRA

Any mantra you can stick to will work. If you notice that you are being overly
intellectual, vibrate a mantra. Think of how God is inside everything.

__________________________________________________

2nd BODY = THE PROTECTIVE MIND

Example: Crossing the road. Going from point A to B.

Not moving from A = overprotective = imbalance 2 body

Not looking = very positive = over projective = imbalance 3 body

Stopping, looking and listening = balance 2 and 3 body = meditative mind

ARQUETYPE

The lover

KEY PHRASE:

“Longing to belong”

KEY QUESTIONS:

Can I calculate the risk in a situation?

If the situation goes wrong, how can I protect myself?

Guru Angad

He was known for his obedience, discipline, and endurance.

FEELING

In a challenge position, you may feel fearful and/or overly protective. You may
also jump into situations or relationships without considering the
consequences. You may carry with you all the feelings around you without
being responsible for them.

You may feel insecure or indecisive when making a decision. You may also
feel unable to join with another person.
You have a great desire to have meaningful relationships but you need to
consider the risk before jumping into them in order to be successful.

In a strength position, you are able to see the negative side of situations. You
take calculated risks. You can join with others successfully. You can merge
into relationships happily. This is a feminine energy number and it can be very
supportive. Diplomatic, peace maker, harmonious, obedient.

EXPLANATION

The 2nd body corresponds to the second Chakra. The element is water, and
it’s properties are fluidity, flexibility, and connection. In intercourse, the water
in the man will be the semen, also known as ojas, and in the woman it will be
the lubricant. In a yogic lifestyle, you can enjoy a sexual life with your partner
but it’s also important to restrain from sexual activity with the goal of
preserving that potent energy. This energy strengthens the immune system,
makes the skin shine, and makes you physically very active.

This is not a negative thing. This is necessary to have. It protects you!

Set boundaries are a good thing. You won’t need attorneys in the future.

Every 2 wants to become 1. It’s the urge to merge, the desire to belong to
something like a group, a relationship, a job, etc. The idea is to merge into
something so you are different because of it.

You need to calculate the dangers of any situation, identify the appropriate
boundaries, and decide what’s best for you and your new union.

The union discussed in Yoga is the union of your higher self and your lower
self.

MANTRA

SO SO SO SO HUM HUM HUM HUM

of you and bring your arms out in front, parallel to the floor, with the thumbs up
and the rest of the fingers bent. Close the eyes 9/10 of the way and look at the
thighs. Now lean back slightly. Hold this position and start mentally vibrating
the mantra. So So So So during the inhalation, and Hum Hum Hum Hum
during the exhalation. 3 minutes.

role, your job, etc. Think about all the good and bad qualities you
can. After each though, deny it. For example, I am a teacher, and
I’m not a teacher. The goal is to peel off the layers so at the end it’s

3rd BODY = The Projective Mind

ARQUETYPE

The magician/ entertainer

KEY PHRASE:

“Devil (de-will) vs. Divine”

KEY QUESTION

Do I allow myself to experience the good things in life?

Do I allow myself to be hopeful?

Guru Amar Das

The third guru. He was known for his devotion and divine love. He also
promoted equal rights and dignity.

FEELING

In a challenge position, this is a person who has unrealistic expectations, a

person who makes promises to please others and has a hard time saying NO.
You really want to see the positive side of a situation, but you can become
insecure or worried in a second. You may also be self-destructive at times,
whether obvious or hidden.

In a strength position, this is a positive person with a good sense of humor.

Humor makes you see the light in the mundane. You project light and are very
uplifting to others. Determined! The chef = food, optimistic, joyful.

EXPLANATION
The 3rd body addresses the infinite possibilities of any situation. Too much or
too little is risky and that’s why it must be balanced. Some people work this
number when they have to deal with a serious illness, often through support
groups, getting rid of the negativity. If unbalanced, you can be overly
optimistic and jump into situations without measuring the risk. You can work
on this body through Yoga and meditation.

natural way. They are very humanitarian and service-oriented. They can
create internal and external balance.

achieved until the last stage of neutrality has been reached. This step gives
you all of the true opportunities available to you.

Very humanitarian.

“Cup Of Prayer.” The ability to see the glass as half empty or half full,
depending on whether it is too protective or too projective.

Meditative mind people are contagious. They put you in that state of mind too.
They are also good listeners.

and purifies your karma. A recent study has suggested that it can
be as powerful as antidepressant medication.

Sit in easy pose. Look at the tip of the nose or the third eye.

Block the right nostril with the right thumb. Rest the left hand in Gyan mudra
(index finger and thumb) in the lap. Inhale through the left nostril and mentally

5 th BODY = The Physical Body

ARQUETYPE

The teacher/ The leader

KEY PHRASE

“Half God, Half Man. Half of Balance.”

KEY QUESTION
How can I further appreciate my own strength while I’m sharing it with
others?

FEELING

In a challenge position, this can manifest as an inconsistent person. Since

number 5 likes change so much and hates routine, this may manifest as a
person who does many things without mastering any. They may feel confined
by other people or environments. They have to learn that true freedom is
found within oneself.

This person may seem over concerned with the physical body, clothing, etc.
They are not sure how to use their energy, proving too active sometimes and
too sedentary at other times. They really want to relate to other people since
number fives are great communicators.

In strength position, this can manifest as someone who has a natural gift for
teaching. They have great endurance and health. Since they love to travel,
they may have great experiences due to those adventures. They can be
freedom fighters.

EXPLANATION

The physical body is the one we all relate to. Yogi Bhajan said that to earn a
physical body you have to go through 8.4 million incarnations. He said that 8.4
million incarnations is equal to one light year. So it takes 100,000 light years
to get a physical body capable of self realization.

EXERCISE

● Triangle pose. 3 minutes.

● Cobra pose. 2 minutes.
● Baby pose. 1 minute.
● Yoga Mudra. Sit on the heels. Bring the forehead towards the floor

6th BODY = The Arc Line or Halo

ARQUETYPE
The Priest/ Shaman

KEY PHRASE

“Man at Prayer”

KEY QUESTION

Am I being truthful?

Am I being honest?

Am I acting with integrity?

FEELING

In a challenge position, this is manifested as a person who is not consistent

with his word. He has an inability to follow up on or obtain the desired results.
He may have what is called a “monkey mind”. He may be misunderstood
because his intentions are good but he doesn’t have the ability to create the
expected. Their desire is to be able to create their own reality by themselves.

In a strength position, this is manifested as a person with a protective shield.

This is a very powerful person who has good concentration. They are lucky
and consistent. Number 6s are people who are involved in protecting others.
They have a natural sense of sacredness and prayer. They are dedicated to
family.

EXPLANATION

The number six represents the Halo. It goes from one ear to the other. Its
strength varies depending on the person’s well-being and mental health. It can
be as thick as one-and-a-half inches or it can be very thin, even broken. If it is
broken in too many places, you can’t stay alive.

The 6th body is about integrity.

I.e.- Gandy- sugar, hunter that become photograph

It’s a natural protection shield that surrounds the person whenever he goes,
even if he or she becomes exposed to danger. It filters the negativity.

It’s the power to create reality, the power of prayer.

Integrity is when your inner reality meets your outer projection because you
have a light side and a dark side too. To learn to integrate both could be the
work of a lifetime.

We all have the power of the mother’s prayer with us, another protection
shield.

EXERCISE

● Speak only the truth for 40 days. The divine truth, meaning that
being truthful does not mean being rude.
● Bye Bye. In easy pose, bring the arm out at 45 to 60 degrees.
Keep the elbows straight and start waving the hand for 1 minute.
Switch hands.

MEDITATION

● Meditation Dhrib Dhrist Lochina Karma Kriya. This meditation

allows you to inspire with your words and speak the truth. It gives
you the power to heal others with your eyes and hands. You will
know the consequences of your actions.
● Meditation for the Arc line. Sit in a cross- legged position. Inhale
and, while mentally counting to 5, bring the forehead to the knee.
Hold the position (forehead on knee) and the breath in while
mentally counting to 15. Then exhale and bring the head up while
counting to 5. Do 26 times on each side. First do one knee and
then switch to the other. 10 minutes.
__________________________________________________

7th BODY = The Auric Body

ARQUETYPE

The healer

KEY PHRASE

“Platform of Elevation”

KEY QUESTION

Do I allow myself to elevate myself and others?

FEELING

In a challenge position, this may manifest as a person with low self-esteem.

He feels his shine comes from his outward appearance rather than from
within. He feels that people expect him to be more independent and nurturing,
and that he has to live up to their expectations.

His more inner desire is to be himself, regardless of anyone’s expectations.

In a strength position, this will manifest as an intelligent person, a wise

person. They are independent. They like to read, and they like music. This
may represent a nun or priest living in seclusion. This is someone who has
obtained intense knowledge through many lifetimes. They also have learned
to uplift themselves, and they can be good teachers and very good parents
because their presence uplifts environments and circumstances. They can
work in relative seclusion, i.e. a scientist in a laboratory, park ranger in the
forest, priest, or nun.

EXPLANATION
The seventh body is the auric body, which is the electromagnetic field that
surrounds a person. Most children are able to see auras at a very early age
between 2 and 4. After that, the pituitary gland changes and this makes it
more difficult to see them. You can do certain meditations to develop this
quality.

A regular aura can be somewhere between three and nine feet. Between
three and seven is the most common. A nine-inch aura is rare. Wearing white
clothes increases the aura by 12 inches.

People with strong auras can be very uplifting to be with. They put you in that
state too, it’s contagious.

There are many benefits of a strong aura. The person is surrounded by this
electromagnetic field that protects him/her and gives them projection. Auras
are nurturing, compassionate, charismatic, and “human’s forklifts”. That’s why
the key phrase is “platform of elevation”.

EXERCISE

● Front leg stretch. Stretch the legs out in front of you. Bring the right
foot in to the inner side of the left leg, square your hips and inhale.
While exhaling, bend over the left leg. Long deep breathing. 2
minutes. Switch sides.
● Cat and Cow. 2 minutes.
● Aura Builder.
● 4 to 1 Breath Aura Builder. Sit in easy pose. 4:1 – inhale in 4 equal
parts until the lungs are at the maximum capacity, then exhale in 1
part. Keep the arms out, the elbows straight and the palms up.
Inhale 30, inhale parallel to the ground, inhale 60, inhale arms
down. Exhale and touch the palms to the ground. 3 minutes. This
practice builds coordination and expands the aura which can help
with depression.
● Back Paddling.
● Triangle Push Ups.
● Arm Chops.
● Arm Swings.
MEDITATION

● Mediation for the Aura. Sit in easy pose and place the hands on
the knees. Now concentrate on the space around your body, the
electromagnetic field. Feel it getting bigger. The next affirmations
should be repeated, keeping the focus on the electromagnetic field:
IAM LIGHT. I AM STRONG. I AM BRIGHT. I AM BEAUTIFUL. I
AM KIND. WHAHE GURU. Repeat 7 times.

8th BODY = The Pranic Body

ARQUETYPE

The Warrior

KEY PHRASE

“Finite vs. Infinite”

KEY QUESTION

Will I allow myself to be fearless?

FEELING

In a challenge position, this may manifest as a person who is dealing with

power or leadership, whether it be through money, the physical body, or other
things. Sometimes they may feel abandoned, fearful, and lonely. They may
have a hard time connecting with themselves and integrating their dark side.

They may feel that people see them as having it all, and they may feel
suffocated by their demands or expectations.
They really want to connect with their own source of energy.

In a strength position, this may be manifested as a fearless person, a very

energetic person. They experience abundance, and they have developed a
strong connection with their inner self. Business can be their arena. They also
have a big heart so a healing career can be another avenue for them.

They are able to connect with the infinity source.

EXPLANATION

The Pranic Body. Prana means “life force”, energy that comes through the
breath.

“Finite vs. Infinite” means that we have a finite life span but we also have
infinite amounts of energy available to us.

The breath is a source of energy that comes from the universe. Yogi Bhajan
calls it “The breath of life” and it is something that comes to you naturally.
When we feel a lack of energy, we experience scarcity. That’s when you are
afraid or lacking confidence.

When the eighth body is strong, you are fearless and have an amazing ability
to live in a world of duality, day and night, light, and dark, cold and hot,
feminine and masculine, etc.

EXERCISE

● 17 minute Breathing Series. Easy pose.

-Breath of Fire. 7 minutes.

-Long Deep breathing. 5 minutes.

-Mouth/Nose Combination. 3 minutes. Through puckered lips, inhale

at your full capacity the, as slowly as possible, exhale through the nose.

-Breath of Fire. 2 minutes.

9th BODY = The Subtle Body

ARQUETYPE

“The Advisor/ The Recorder”

KEY PHRASE

“Mastery or Mystery”

KEY QUESTION

Am I being subtle and calm?

FEELING

In a challenge position, this may manifest as a person who has the ability to
be very psychic but must learn to balance between their own thoughts and
emotions and those of others. Nines can read between the lines, but can
become rude if pushed. They can also be aggressive, explosive and insecure
because they tend to focus on small details and they cannot see the big
picture.

They seem themselves clearly but they believe they are misunderstood by
others. They are overwhelmed with a lot of information and are sometimes
surprised when they discover that what they think doesn’t have anything to do
with what is.
Number nines want to clearly communicate all that they know. They want to
see the big picture.

In a strength position, nines can read between lines. They are very subtle and
feminine. They get the big picture and have access to the akashic records.
They are long term thinkers. They are calm and subtle. They are sophisticated
and have an artistic appreciation.

EXPLANATION

As Yogi Bhajan used to say, “Where there is mastery, there is not mystery”.
This number is a very feminine number and highly intuitive to the point
where this can be overwhelming if not channeled in an appropriate way. You
don’t need to communicate too directly to a number nine, they already know
because they can pick up on all the subtleties. They can see the whole
picture, which is why they are long term thinkers, meaning that they think
about the reactions of their actions. For instance, when you eat, how that
affects you in that moment, in a few hours, how it is going to make you feel,
etc.

Nine is also connected with the small intestines. Because of this, it’s not
uncommon for a number nine to have digestive problems, or problems
digesting information because they are very critical.

gets you back in touch with the subtleties of life. Place the thumbs

middle fingers rest on the nose and the other fingers rest on the
mouth. Inhale through the nose, then exhale and keep the air out
while pressing your nose with your fingers. Hold for as long as
possible. It’s very important to keep the ears closed and listen for
inner sounds. Continue for 5 to 11 minutes. To end, inhale, stretch
the arms up and relax. Make sure you have some time to relax
afterward.

KEY PHRASE

“Regal”

KEY QUESTION

Will I allow myself to know all and be all?

FEELING

In a challenge position, this may manifest as a person who feels that

something has been missing in his education or that his needs were not met
as a child. You feel others expect you to have it all together, all the answers,
the look and so on, even when you don’t feel like it. You are overwhelmed by
life and its demands.

Your deepest desire is to excel in all areas of life, to shine and inspire all.

In a strength position, this may manifest as a person who feels that everything
they need will be provided and manifested. This person has it all together.
They have a natural ability to know what is needed in any situation even
though they don’t know everything about the situation.

EXPLANATION

The number 11 embodies all of the numbers. If you have it as your challenge,
people expect you to have it all together. If you have it as your strength you do
have it all together, although no one has it all together all the time. You can do
a mental check of the ten bodies at any time to keep them all together.

Example of a mental check:

● 1. Am I being compassionate and creative with myself, my actions,

and others?
● 2. Am I calculating the risk of this situation or relationship, is it
because of my wanting to belong?
● 3. Am I allowing myself to be optimistic and to experience the good
things?
● 4. Am I being balanced in my thinking?
● 5. Am I making use of my strengths? Am I sharing my strength with
others (teacher)?
● 6. Am I being truthful? Am I acting with integrity?
● 7. Am I being uplifting with myself and others?
