Energies of the Subtle Body with Luis Minero

Luis Minero is president of the International Academy of Consciousness. He is also author of Demystifying the Out-of-Body Experience.

Here he notes that, throughout the world, there are many designations for what he called “bioenergy”. These include prana, ch’i, ki, vital fluid, orgone, and etheric energy. Each of these is typically accompanied by a philosophy, as well as various cultural traditions and exercises. He maintains that an understanding of this energy is very useful for separating one’s consciousness from the physical body – and he describes an exercise for doing so. He also points out that out-of-body realms consist of various levels and are actually largely composed of “thosenes” or thought-forms.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
