7 Planes of Existence

The concept of “planes of existence” comes from the shamanic and mythological traditional idea that the world is structured on a vertical axis. This could be for example similar to a mountain or a tree divided in floors or areas, each of them representing something or holding some type of creatures and knowledge. As a matter of fact, nowadays the modern esoterism refers to a plane as a subtle state, level, or region of reality, each one corresponding to some type, kind, or category of being. Definetely not far from the tradition.

According to ThetaHealing’s theory

For those who are a bit familiar with ThetaHealing (click on the link for more info) this concept of the cosmic planes should definitely ring a bell. Infact, according to the founder of this technique, Vianna Stibal, there are 7 planes of existence.

They are the seen and unseen energies that define the different dimensions of this universe, and they are so vast that the human mind in a normal daily state cannot comprehend them. That’s why when we are using the Theta brain waves we are able to perceive these inexplicable forces.

Each of the planes has its own particular energy, better described as a vibration. These vibrations are the essence of life in all its forms, all the existence as we know it. The frequency of vibration is what makes the planes different to one another: the higher the frequency of vibration, the faster the atoms move. For instance, the molecules in the solid objects of the 1st Plane move very slowly, then they start moving more quickly on the 2nd Plane and so on through all the other planes.

Each plane of existence is subject to its own conditions, rules, laws and commitments. By their very nature, the first 6 planes are not perfect, but the 7th Plane has the fastest vibrations and it has the essence of truth and divinity, what we may refer to as the Source or Universal Energy.

  • The 7th Plane of existence

As I’ve just written, this is the plane were lies the Pure Love and Universal Energy, the life-force energy that flows through all things. Here we can realise that we are all part of everything, that the energy is one and flows in each of us. On the 7th Plane, we can use the energies of all the planes without being bound by any vow or commitment to them, because the energy of the Seventh Plane creates the others.

  • The 6th Plane of existence

This is the plane of the Laws that create the very basic web of the Universe and reality, such as the Law of Time, the Law of Gravity, the Law of Cause and Effect (or Karma) and many more. The Laws are usually represente dby a symbol and they are categorised in Main Laws with sub-laws etc. like a sort of “hierarchy”.

  • The 5th Plane of existence

This is the plane of the divine and semi-divine beings, the plane of the masters, such as the Buddha and other masters that have changed the human history for good. It is divided into different sub-levels of vibration, like some sort of stair, and the lower level is the ultimate dualism. Dualism means that this is the place where both Good and Bad coexist (for instance Angels and Demons).

  • The 4th Plane of existence

This plane is where the spirits arrive and stay after death, where our ancestors are and where we will go after we will pass away. This is also the realm of spirits guide and totem animals.

  • The 3rd Plane of existence

This is the plane of protein-based life forms, such as humans and animals. Our souls need to experience the challenge of emotions and instinctual desires, and the reality of being in a human body in a physical world. All of this, in order to gain experience and learn our lessons until we won’t need to reincarnate anymore and we can ascend as masters in the 5th Plane. Our spirits will always stay in the 4th Plane, as spirit and soul are two different things.

  • The 2nd Plane of existence

All the organic material like plants and trees stay in this plane. It is well known that trees and plants can communicate with each other and that they are the most evoluted creatures on this planet (that’s right!). Fairies and elementals are also attracted to this plane because trees and plants are their home and support.

  • The 1st Plane of existence

This plane consists of all the inorganic material like minerals, crystals, soil, and rocks, all the elements in the periodic table before they bind to carbon bases (and so become organic).

Interconnection

All the planes of existence are linked to each other to form our reality and the whole universe. Learning about the nature of each plane brings us a better understanding of these links and will open us to what each plane has to teach us. Not only we are part of this, but we ARE the planes of existence. Exactly, every plane is working outside and inside our body in complete harmony and balance to create and sustain life.

Infact, the human body is made up of 5 different compounds: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acid (DNA), and ATP (energy). Each of these is linked to a particular plane and together create who we are.

Our physical, mental and spiritual health depends on having enough of these compounds. If they are lacking in our body, there will be a lack in other areas of our life. For instance a lack of 4th-Plane (carbohydrates) is a lack of energy, or a lack of 2nd-Plane (vitamins) is a lack of love, and so on.

Utilizing the Planes

Back in the days, a person was expected to master the energy of one plane of existence at a time, usually after a spiritual initiation. Think about schamans or crystal healers.

Thankfully now, we can open up and learn how to fuse the elements of the planes into one energy, although we still have to go through lessons. As we develop our psychic and healing abilities, we will naturally connect to the energies of the planes and learn how to use them for our spiritual growth.

Discover the properties of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is also known as medicinal aloe, “lily of the desert” or “elephant’s gall” and it belongs to the family of succulent plants in the genus ‘Aloe’. Its origin is believed to be in Sudan and has been used for more than 6,000 years, being recognized by many civilizations including the Egyptians, Spanish, Persians, Greeks, Italians, Africans, Japanese, and Indians. It grows best in warm and dry climates and that is why it is densely found in those areas, but it can be easily grown both indoors and outdoors.

Aloe Vera plant is often a stemless or sometimes very short-stemmed juicy plant that grows around 60–100 cm in height and the offsets spread out wide. The leaves of this plant are thick and fleshy and the color varies from green to gray-green. Some varieties of this plant have white flecks on the upper and lower portions of the stem surfaces. The margin of the leaves is like saw-tooth and the flowers bloom during the summer. Each leaf is full of a slimy tissue that stores water, which makes the leaves thick.

This slimy, water-filled tissue is the “gel” we usually associate with Aloe Vera products, and it contains most of the bioactive compounds in the plant, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. This plant has also compounds such as mannans, polysaccharides, lectins, and anthraquinones that are extremely beneficial for human health. Let’s have a look at all the benefits of this amazing plant:

  • For skin care (wounds, sores, rashes, etc.)

The pure inner gel extracted from the Aloe leaf is the best natural remedy for skin abrasions and it also helps diminish the symptoms of aging skin conditions like wrinkles. Many skin care and personal care products, toiletries, and cosmetics include Aloe extracts. In fact, if you have its plant at home, simply tear a small part of the leaf, take the gel and apply it in the raw form on your face. The topical external use of this plant is the most commonly known and it has long been known as a treatment for sores, particularly burns, including sunburns. Some people prefer drinking its juice, which also enhances skin health, as the properties of the plant work internally. It also helps in curing stings, rashes, acne, and psoriasis.

  • For beauty (moisturizer, hair care, teeth care etc.)

Aloe Vera has proven to be an excellent option for promoting naturally hair growth and essential to retain voluminous and healthy hair. You can apply its gel to the entire scalp or use a shampoo, which stimultaing your scalp can improves blood circulation and keeps you away from stress and mental tiredness.

Dental and gum diseases can also be cured by Aloe Vera. You can try out this natural remedy at home: put some of its powder on your toothbrush, then brush normally. It will soothe your gums and cure any kind of infection or bruises.

  • For digestion

The adaptogenic properties of Aloe Vera are beneficial for a proper digestion. It ensures better nutrient absorption and also eliminates harmful elements through smooth excretion. Its compounds called polysaccharides have the ability to cure a host of digestive disorders and ulcers, which are one of the most prominent consequences of digestive problems. Many studies have proven that with its anti-inflamamtory qualities it improves issues like Crohn’s disease, peptic ulcers, and other digestive tract disorders, mainly driven by the inflammation of digestive organs.

  • For constipation

This time it is not the gel, but the latex, that provides the benefits. The latex is a sticky yellow residue found just under the skin of the leaf and the key compound responsible for this effect is called aloin, or barbaloin, which has well-established laxative and diuretic effects (however, some concerns have been raised about safety issues with frequent use).

  • For immunity

Aloe Vera gel, again, contains powerful antioxidants, which belong to a large family of substances known as polyphenols. These polyphenols, along with several other compounds in Aloe vera, can help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria that can cause infections in humans. Beverages made with aloe vera juice possess natural detoxifying properties that effectively cleanse the digestive system and the circulatory system. As the absorption level of nutrients accelerates, it results in better blood circulation and also improves health. Infact, when the blood is oxygen-rich, it automatically provides nutrients within the cells more proficiently. Zinc is also an important component in this fantastic plant and it’s essential to maintain a proper immune function.

  • For diabetes and general regulation of blood sugar

Some evidence in humans and animals suggested that Aloe Vera is able to alleviate the chronic hyperglycemia (high blood sugar level) and perturbed lipid (fat) profile that are common among people with diabetes and are major risk factors for cardiovascular complications.

  • For pain

The extract of Aloe Vera has shown to be an excellent stimulant of the uterus and intake of its juice is very beneficial during painful menstruation.

The anti-inflammatory properties of Aloe Vera help it to work efficiently on joints and muscle pains, caused by heavy physical acivity or diseases like gout or arthritis. Applying Aloe gel topically eases inflammation and swelling of the joints.

Aloe Vera Smoothie Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups of coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
  • lemon, if you like it
  • 1 cup of fresh mango (or any other fruit you like!)
  • 1 fresh banana (or any other fruit again!)
  • a handful of fresh mint
  • 1 medium Aloe Vera leaf filletted (1/2 cups)

How to fillet an Aloe Vera leaf:

  1. First, cut off any white parts close to the root of the leaf.
  2. Then trim the prickly sides by slicing them off entirely using a paring knife. When doing so, try to take off as little as possible.
  3. With the convex side facing up, use a potato peeler to remove the skin from the leaf. Alternatively, you can slice off the top skin with the knife.
  4. Then, slide the knife under the gel to separate it from the leaf skin, making sure there is no leftover skin on the gel.
  5. Dice the gel into smaller pieces. Refrigerate and cover your leftover Aloe.
  6. Add straight into your blender or juicer with the rest of the ingredients.
  7. Enjoy!
