Not all people have the gift to see subtle objects, but this does not mean that they do not exist. Each person has one physical body and six subtle ones. Among them there is one that is responsible for his thoughts and desires. It's called mental. In this article, we will learn how to develop it, and which chakra corresponds to it.

The world of subtle matters

There are many different theories about the existence of subtle objects. Someone believes that this is all fiction and fantasy, while others are sure that they exist. Thus, a person has seven bodies. The first is physical. No one doubts its existence, because it is visible. The rest of all six are subtle bodies, and in order to see and feel them, you need to have superpowers. Six thin shells:

• ethereal;
• astral;
• soulful;
• causal;
• mental;
• spiritual.

Each of them differs from each other by distance from the physical body, color and functions. For example, the causal bodyhas the ability to store the memory of all the lives that a person has lived. The ethereal shell is the matrix of all organs of the physical body. People who have it well developed see the whole body as if through and feel in which systems a person has problems. The mental body is the thoughts of the individual, what analyzes, what he thinks about. All seven bodies are interconnected, but at the same time each of them is unique.

Relationship with chakras

Subtle bodies are connected with the energy centers of the human body. Each of them corresponds to a specific chakra. So, the mental body of a person corresponds to Ajna (it is also called the third eye). This is the sixth chakra, which is responsible for intuition and thoughts. It is located just above the bridge of the nose. People who have a well-developed Ajna have excellent intuition and the gift of foresight. Since the chakra and the mental body are interconnected, meditation on it will also strengthen the corresponding shell of a person. In order to develop Ajna, there are many different practices. All of them are based on the concentration of attention and sensations at the point of the chakra. So, for example, you can imagine that in this place you have a blue flower blooming. Very slowly, he opens each of his petals. Meditation can be considered successful if warmth or tingling is felt in the area of the mental body chakra. Of course, all seven centers should be developed, since the blocks will interfere with the passage of energy.

General information

The mental sheath is a subtle body responsible for a person's thoughts. Everything abouthe thinks is immediately displayed on his mental body. It helps to find solutions, solve problems. Since all subtle matters are interconnected, initially everything that happens in a person's life is displayed on the etheric plane, then on the astral, and only then on the mental. Each of the shells has its own level. The mental body is located at a distance of 40-50 cm from the physical.

It looks different for different people. It all depends on how developed a person’s thinking is, what he thinks about, what he dreams about. In general, it is a yellowish-white, slightly transparent substance. The more intelligent the person, the more space it takes up. For those who do not train their minds, do not read, rarely turn on logic, the mental body is faded, narrow. Breakouts can be seen in some places.

Two ways to develop the mental body

In order to improve your mental abilities and quickly find a way out of various situations, it is recommended to cultivate this subtle body. Interestingly, the mental sheath is related to mental activity in the same ways. That is, if a person begins to read a lot, be interested in news, play logic games (for example, chess), then the subtle body itself will improve. Another direction is to improve the mental shell with the help of meditation. In this case, a person will simply begin to get smarter before our eyes, and he will have a craving for knowledge.

What gives the development of the mental body

At first glance it may seem that it is not so important -subtle body, and if you can read, write and think, then it is 100% developed in you. This line of thinking is far from the truth. In fact, all seven sheaths are equally important. The mental body is connected with everything that happens in a person's life. Have you ever noticed how negative people are constantly unlucky? They blame everyone and everything, go angry and gloomy, and the more they are annoyed by everything bad, the more this comes to life. There is even a proverb about this pattern: "The trouble does not come alone." But in reality, this is not always the case. The mental body is closely connected with the astral, and that, in turn, is responsible for emotions. Very often a person tries to suppress the astral shell in himself so that the mental one prevails. So, in a difficult situation, people try to pull themselves together, turn off emotions and think sensibly. If there is an imbalance between these two bodies, then it can be difficult for a person to control his emotions and actions. If both shells are sufficiently developed, then a person can project his thoughts into life.

How thin shells are connected

The mental body interacts not only with the astral, but also with others. So, for example, interacting with the spiritual, it reveals to a person knowledge about the meaning of life, about destiny. If a person has a well-developed soul and mental body, he will have excellent intuition. The first shell will help him anticipate events, and the second will transform this information into understandable mental images. The mental and etheric body provide information about the statehe alth of certain organs. They are well developed in healers. If the mental shell is poorly developed, then all others will fail, because the whole life of a person is connected precisely with thoughts and knowledge.

Growth Meditation

As mentioned earlier, all energy shells need to be improved. So how to develop the mental body? There are special meditations for this. For their implementation, it is necessary to be able to enter an altered state of consciousness. To do this, you can use a countdown from 100 to 1 or complete relaxation of the whole body. So, in an altered state, you should imagine your mental aura, see it in the brightest colors. Imagine that it contains a huge amount of various information in the form of a luminous flux. Feel smart and omniscient.

Meditation on higher knowledge

In this way, you can both cleanse the mental body and gain new and very important knowledge. While in an altered state of consciousness, listen to your thoughts. What are you thinking now? Now try to slow them down, and then stop them altogether. Try not to think about anything for at least a few minutes. At first, it will be extremely difficult, since the human brain is used to constantly thinking about something. Managing your thoughts is an art, and when you master it, many opportunities will open up before you. After you manage to not think about anything for at least a few minutes, tell yourself: “I am ready (a) for new knowledge” and listen carefully to whatyour first thought. It will be something very, very important to you.

Thought Projection

So, very often people themselves create certain situations without even realizing it. At the same time, a person confuses the projection of his thoughts with intuition. For example, in the morning the girl is going to work. She is in a bad mood, she is depressed, and does not want to go there at all. Then an unpleasant situation occurs at work, and her superiors scold her for this. The girl is sure that in the morning her intuition worked, and she correctly felt that something bad would happen. In fact, her negative thoughts drew the situation to her. As a rule, with the manifestation of intuition, a person comes not only with knowledge of what should happen, but also how to avoid it. Such examples are enough in the life of every person. It would seem that this is a very bad property of the mental shell, but it is not. You can use it to your advantage.

There are a huge number of different techniques for this. For example, "Reality Transurfing" by Vladimir Zeland or the film "Secret". All these techniques are based on the fact that it is necessary to direct your thoughts in a positive direction. In addition, you need to be able to manage them and stop their endless stream.

Wish come true

The development of the mental body and soul allows a person to completely change his life for the better. To do this, you need to manage your thoughts and emotions. The more you think about the good, the more it willcome into your life. Start with small and unusual desires. For example, imagine that on your way home from work today you find a lucky coin or someone treats you to tea. When such small and funny wishes begin to come true, it will be possible to move on to the most cherished ones.
