The energetic system that is the human being in totality. The core of this system is a matrix of interconnected bodies that can be conceptualized as layered and overlapping, with each body corresponding to a different plane of existence. These bodies are individually maintained and attuned with one-another through a complex framework of energetic fields, centers, pathways, and meridians. Aspects of the Personal Energy Matrix (or PEM) most people are familiar with include the chakras, the aura, etheric body, astral body, the acupuncture points and pathways, the middle pillar, and so forth. The physical body and mind are part of the PEM, as they are comprised of specific types of energy.
