XXV — The Physical and Energy Body
We have two bodies: the physical and the energy body. These two creations of life which live within us are us, but the former dominates our consciousness and rules our lives to a great extent. The energised body within us needs to be found. It is hidden in the deepest confines of our being, and is not easily discovered; we need to express great energy to discover the energy within us.
Before any illness is manifested in the physical body, however, it comes through the energised body, and when the first pang of pain is felt in the physical body, the inner, the energised body has felt it already and sent out prophylactic pulses of energy for us to deal with the ailment. And only if we heed these warnings, warnings emanating from deep within our being, from the smallest particles of our being, will we have the greatest chance of remedy. But if we feel only the pain, wince at the pain, complain at the pain, and not give necessary attention, vital attention to our deepest seat of being, we can often be doomed to another existence upon this great stage of life.
This is why healers work not upon the physical body, but press and penetrate deep within the physical boundaries and mortal coils of our being, and endeavour to touch, with our dying consent, our inmost energy of life in this existence.
Positive emotions, on the contrary, like the symphony sound of beautiful music, which both arrests our soul and delights it, carry our beings to a higher state of happiness and enlightenment.
The ability to be strong and resist strain in the face of life's adversity, the skill to deny stress and the accompaniments of fear, dread, and loss, is to realise that stress and pressures are merely the tiniest particles and pulses of negative-vibrational forces hitting our beings, and when we deny them impact, we admit no strain upon our implacable beings in this beautiful creation of life, and the happiness of our souls is ours to catch. And it is not only the energy field, but there are known physical actions within our bodies that help us deal with stress and strain.
Resting outside the billions of brain cells, there is a neurotransmitter sitting within the sympathetic nerves in our cardiovascular system called norepinephrine or noradrenaline. These tiny creators are the protectors of our being when we face a fight or flight situation. They are hormones released when our bodies encounter moments of significant stress. On a medical level, norepinephrine is used to treat sufferers with low blood pressure. When we feel a situation of being attacked, a great quantity of norepinephrine is released, and this sudden burst of energy allows us quickly to determine whether to fight or run from the situation which is threatening our beings.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
