The Four Types of Nutrition

​

Human beings possess six bodies in addition to the physical body, each functioning as a vehicle of consciousness beyond the material world:

• the Vital Body
• the Emotional Astral Body
• the Mental Body
• the Causal or Body of Conscious Will
• the Buddhic Body - divine soul;
• the Atmic Body - Higher Self

These bodies must be created and nourished in order to consciously navigate the higher realms corresponding to each level of existence.

Nutrition is not limited to food — it includes air, prana, and impressions.
Each type of nutrition is digested through a specific organ or system, and all of them are ultimately reduced into sexual energy, the fundamental life force that sustains both the physical body and the subtle bodies.

 

Physical Food - Digested through the digestive system.
Food is transformed into nutrients and then into blood, providing energy for the physical body.

Air - Digested through the lungs. - Through breathing and gas exchange, oxygen enters the bloodstream and supports circulation, vitality, and brain function.

Prana (Vital Energy) - Digested through the chakras & endocrine glands and energy centers.
Prana regulates hormonal balance, emotional stability, and the overall energetic state of the organism.

Impressions (Sensations, Emotions, Thoughts) - Digested through conscious awareness become nutrition for the superior existential bodies..

Impressions that are not consciously digested turn into automatic reactions and solidify as psychological aggregates of the ego — the false self.

Holistic coaching focuses on restoring this natural process of nourishment, digestion, and inner balance — so life energy can support healing, clarity, and inner development.
