Lightbody

A lightbody is a term used in various spiritual and metaphysical traditions to describe a subtle, energetic body that is said to be connected to or interpenetrate the physical body. This concept is often associated with the idea that humans possess multiple layers of existence beyond the physical form. The lightbody is believed to be composed of refined, luminous energy and is sometimes considered a vehicle for spiritual evolution and ascension. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as גוף אור (Guf Or), which literally means "body of light." Similar concepts exist in other cultures and languages, such as the Lichtkörper in German, corpo di luce in Italian, and corps de lumière in French. The lightbody is often depicted as a radiant, ethereal form that can be developed or activated through spiritual practices, such as meditation, energy work, and other esoteric disciplines. Some traditions suggest that the lightbody serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, facilitating higher states of consciousness and connection to divine or universal energies.
