Every human being is unique and has individual energy. This energy can be sketched in three different layers: the body, the thinking and the emotions. However, according to the old teaching and tradition the body can also be divided up into seven principles, which are all connected by a continuous flow of energy that creates a whole.
 
These seven principles can be drawn as:

• The physical body
• The astral body
• The power of life
• The body of the senses, Kama (Indian)
• The person's lower soul, or Manas (Indian)
• The person's higher soul, or Buddhi (Indian)
• The spirit
