Who Completes Me?

Khush Raho with Sangeeta

For most of my life, I focused on my physical body, understood through sight, touch, and the biology I had studied. Then cancer changed everything. Recovering from radical surgery, I was introduced for the second time in my life to energy healing and remote energy healing. The first time had been a passing acquaintance—Reiki, yoga, books like The Power of Now, and a vague sense that there was more to us than the visible and material. But it was only in the stillness of recovery that I truly began to study this path. It was then that I was properly reintroduced to my invisible body—the aura.

Looking back, the signs had always been there, on the edge of consciousness. As children, we played games where we shut our eyes and guessed when someone came close to us. In winter, we rubbed our arms to create static electricity and watched the hair rise. In the classroom, we used rulers to create static and brought them close to the neck of the person in front, watching their hair crackle. Did we not sense someone close by, even while deep in concentration? We were sensing energy long before we had words for it. The aura, I came to understand, is a biomagnetic field that interpenetrates the physical body and expands beyond it. It can be seen through GDV cameras or Kirlian photography, modern scientific techniques of visualisation. It is also something I learned to touch, feel, and see.

This knowledge is not new. Our ancients have passed it down for thousands of years. Every ancient culture—in the Indian subcontinent, Native American traditions, African tribal societies, ancient Egypt, and China—held an understanding of this invisible aspect of being, the most vital part of us. Prana, Qi, Ki, Mana, Pneuma—take your pick. With the advent of the modern industrial and scientific age, medicine turned its focus solely to the physical body as something mechanical, measurable, and visible. The invisible was quietly set aside in the shadows.

The ancient traditions of biofield energy and remote healing survived in varied forms, and now modern Western science is beginning to integrate this ancient wisdom into a more complete model of treatment. If we want to pursue a truly holistic approach—one that goes beyond symptomatic treatment and reaches the root of a problem—we need what the ancients already knew. The invisible and the visible are correlated.

In the nine years since I fully embraced my invisible body—its organs, the chakras; its fifty-eight thousand energy meridians, channels, or nadis that carry energy throughout the biofield to feed and nourish every part of it—two things have happened. I have gained a more balanced understanding of myself. And I have come to understand how I am completed by the awareness, maintenance, and nurturing of my invisible body alongside my physical one.

This balance has carried me through radical cancer surgeries, a stoma and stoma reversal, and further radical surgery for gallbladder complications a couple of years later. Now, with better overall health, I have worked hard not just to live these learnings, but to share them as widely as possible.

My invisible body is the real music—the Geet—in Sangeeta. The varied vibrations and frequencies of cosmic energy are now embraced in a richer harmony of life.

Small rituals. Profound healing. Until next time—Khush Raho! Stay happy, stay healthy.
