The personal energy matrix or PEM is my construct for handling the human energetic system. It involves the physical body and mind, along with the other energy bodies (etheric, astral, mental, spiritual) and the energetic apparatus that emanate, regulate, and coordinate the individual layers or aspects and the matrix as a whole.
This includes a range of energetic fields, currents, centers, and channels. Aspects of the PEM with which you may be familiar include the heart circulatory system, vital energy or life force, the etheric body, the seven main chakras along the Sushumna or Middle Pillar, the aura, and so forth. There are numerous interpretations of this energetic system, many of them complete with visual diagrams and detailed information about the components and how to refine and optimize each area.
As this is a magic blog and my content is of a primarily magical, not mystical nature, it’s not my plan to engage readers with an academic grade presentation of the PEM and a full curriculum of how to integrate awareness of this system into your daily consciousness. I believe it is important to be conceptually aware of both the multiverse planes of existence and the multi-layered nature of one’s own energetic makeup, as such awareness can enhance magical practice and promote best practices to elevate overall effectiveness.
I also caution, however, that becoming obsessed with the minutia of this knowledge can greatly hinder your magical progress. Unless you are a monk or other adept with the luxury of being able to devote all day every day to the pursuit of this knowledge, you aren’t likely to fully comprehend it at the intellectual level in this lifetime.
I have good news on this point! You don’t need to fully intellectualize the PEM!
A framework for conceptualization gives you enough to aid visualization and other actualization techniques and exercises. Add to this sufficient knowledge of the system to facilitate some basic training and exercises in the effort to elevate, refine, focus, and empower your energetic assets and you’ll become a magical powerhouse with the bonus of enhanced capacity for mystical exploration and receptivity.
