2. Let’s Start with
Physical Anatomy
• The function of physical anatomy is straight forward. Its only
job is to perform physical functions to keep our body
operating.
EX: The heart’s function is to pump blood, the stomach’s
function is to receive and digest food, the function of the
throat (esophagus) brings food to the stomach and the larynx
(voice box) allows us to speak.
Then why...

3. …do we have these
common experiences?
Broken Heart Frog in the Throat
with loss of love1 with fear like
public speaking3
Butterflies in the Stomach
with stress/anxiety2

4. Phantom Limb
Syndrome
Occurs when an amputee feels pain or
sensation in an non‐existent limb
or body part
EXPERIMENT:
I placed a coffee cup in front of John and asked him to grab it [with his phantom limb]. Just as
he said he was reaching out, I yanked the cup away.
"Ow!" he yelled. "Don't do that!"
"What's the matter?"
"Don't do that", he repeated. "I had just got my fingers around the cup handle when you
pulled it. That really hurts!"
Hold on a minute. I wrench a real cup from phantom fingers and the person yells, ouch! The
fingers were illusory, but the pain was real ‐ indeed, so intense that I dared not repeat the
experiment.
Phantoms in the Brain, Ramachandran & Blakeslee, 1998 (pg 43)

5. These experiences are explained
by human energy anatomy.
Even though the physical arm of the amputee is
removed, the energetic arm still exists.
We actually feel pain and pleasure in the energy
system not the physical body which accounts for
phantom limb syndrome.

6. Human Energy Anatomy Basics
• Along with physical anatomy we have energy
anatomy. It vibrates at a very high frequency beyond
what we can perceive with our physical senses.
• Our energy anatomy interpenetrates our physical
body. It influences our physical health and contains
and processes our emotions and thoughts.
• Our energy anatomy bridges our personality (body,
emotions and mind) with our Soul and Spirit (which
exist as energy with consciousness)
You are constructed like a computer…

analogy of how we are
constructed
energetically
depicting
our physical,
emotional, mental
energy “bodies” and
our spiritual
connections.
Ever feel someone walk up
behind you but you didn’t
hear them? They entered
“the field “ of your energy
system which allowed you to
sense their presence.

8. Our energy anatomy is
an intricate system of
energy “bodies”,
pathways and centers
that flow and distribute
vital life force.
The next 2 diagrams show the location of
the major centers of the energy system…

International expert Master Del Pe reveals 12 major centers for the personality
existing on physical, emotional and mental levels.

10. Our Common Experiences
Broken Heart is experienced through
the Heart energy center.
Butterflies in the Stomach is
experienced through the Solar
Plexus energy center.
Frog in the Throat is experienced
through the Throat energy center.
There are common symbols in society that reference
our energy anatomy…

11. The Caduceus
In Eastern philosophy the caduceus actually symbolizes the flow of energy
in the Central Axis of the body known as the sushumna. The 2 serpents each flow
a unique energy: masculine energy (Pingala) and feminine energy (Ida). The wings
symbolize enlightenment or unification of the Soul and personality.

12. Religious Symbols
1 2 3
The “halo”, depicted across religions, is an energy center at the back of the head called the Alta Major
that develops as a person gets to higher stages of spiritual development. The sacred heart depicted
on the picture of Jesus is a symbol of the heart energy center critical to higher emotions, forgiveness
and discernment. Placing the hands at the heart opens the heart center and helps flow energy along
with activating spiritual center for divine light. Each picture depicts hand and finger positions, called
mudras, that direct energy flow.

13. Technology is catching up in
measuring human energy…
• Kirlian photography captures lower more physical
frequencies of the energy system yet misses
capturing the emotional, mental and spiritual
frequencies.
• In India, in 1998, I met Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, a
Russian scientist, who mapped data taken from a
kirlian camera to a software program that analyzes
energy levels to determine health issues. This
technology is a forerunner for what is to come.

16. Biology is catching up…
• Bruce Lipton, PhD and author of Biology of Belief, conducted 30 years of
cell research. He determined that the cell membrane contains proteins
whose function is to receive information (biological and energetic) and
send it to the cell nucleus where proteins controlling DNA use the
information to turn DNA on or off.
• This research supports energy medicine giving a scientific basis for the
impact of thoughts, feelings and subtle energy on health. The emerging
field of Epigenetics combines quantum physics and biology to study the
deeper realms of energy in biology.

19. Master Del Pe, Modern Sage
Inner Powers to Maximize Your Performance
“Have you ever stopped to wonder where power really comes
from, why some people have it and others don’t, and
whether events of world history are perhaps shaped by power
most people are unaware of?” (Introduction)
Hidden Dangers of Meditation and Yoga:
Play with Your Sacred Fires Safely
“In my constant international travels and weekly spiritual mentoring,
I have noticed tremendous demand for newer methods to
understand and experience life’s purpose – internally. Modern
professionals are constantly seeking more robust strategies
to grow faster and be ahead while maintaining balance, and the
number of people, including youth, who are seeking practical
ways to experience their spirituality …is growing exponentially”.

20. Summary of Mind/Body
Connection
• The “mind/body connection” occurs through energy anatomy that
interfaces physical, emotional, mental and spiritual functions.
• Science is now defining how thoughts, emotions and subtle energy
impact health.
• This paradigm demystifies how we are constructed as a human being
giving definition to our non-physical and spiritual existence and
experiences.
• Techniques that work with energy anatomy give people direct access to
their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions.
Why is this important? …

21. ..because you can learn new skills and
use “new tools” to:
• Gain self‐mastery necessary to connect with life purpose
and meaning and to manage rapid change and the
pressures of modern life
• Sustain optimal health and naturally maximize your
body’s ability to heal itself when ill.
• “Flower where you are planted” meaning be the best you
can be in your relationships, at home, and in your
career…or whatever you chose to do.
