I hope this doesn't confuse the issue more for you, but the energy body and the physical body are symbiotic. The energy body affects the physical and the physical affects the energy.
I'll health in one will lead to poor condition in the other. Good health can be applied in the same way.
Seeing the energy body is not really essential. You will feel the effects of energy work long before you see them. Reading about the energy body and ways to strengthen it are definitely of value. One of the best articles I've read is the New Energy Ways article written by Robert Bruce, which is available on the astralpulse.com main site (under articles).
Of course the way you adapt this information is up to you. The guidelines are there, but it is good to be able to use your intuition as well when doing energy work, so you get to know what works best for you personally.
All the best,
James.
James S,
I agree with you in that the physical body and energy body are connected to the extent that one affects the other, but I disagree with the idea that if one is in poor condition so is the other. I think that a poor condition in one of them will be a detriment to the other but I think that it is something that can be overcome. I know several people who are phyically fit and healthy but their energy body is in horrible shape.

links Shadow,
Yes, it is as you say, that someone can have a healthy physical body and a poor energy body, but you will probably find that they are maintaining a minimum level of energy body health necessary to achieve this. If the energy body is in really bad shape it usually manifests physical symptoms like tiredness, lethargy, boredom, anger, stress, anxiety, which can all affect physical well-being.
When the physical body is unwell, the energy body can become unresponsive. This is why if you regularaly practice energy rasing, it is best to take a break when you have a cold or flu.
All the best,
James.
my body tells me that i develop my energybody when i work with it and my brain tells me that i develop my attention on the energy body and what is happening in it. a combintation maby...
it would be interesting to hear about the apperance of the energybody. is the energybody hanging dead on some people..?
i mean can healthy people have sleeping energybodies?
the attention seems to be related to the development quite strongly.
its so hard to grasp this energything for me. will things be clearer if i learn to see the energybody? is it able to study it and understand it properly without reading a lot of books?
best
