The Physical body is understood in Theosophy as simply the last of seven progressively denser "vehicles of consciousness". In Blavatsky ian Theosophy it is called by the Vedantic name '' Sthula Sarira '' - "gross body" - and distingusihed from the '' Linga Sarira '', the "subtle body" or astral double. These two, along with the '' Kama '' and '' Prana '' principles, constitute the "lower quaternary", the mortal or transitory aspect of the Human Being , as opposed to the higher three principles (triad) of the Septenary . In later Theosophy, and Theosophically-derived New Age teachings ( C. W. Leadbeater , Alice Bailey , David Tansley , Barbara Brennan ), the Physical body is distinguished from the Etheric Body , which serves as its "blueprint", and the structures of the etheric body, such as the Chakra s, are mirrored in the main Gland s and Nerve Ganglia of the physical body. It is stated that by working with and balancing these subtle energies, it is possible to heal physical ailments. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
