In Kundalini Yoga, the Sikh Model, there are Ten Bodies

(The ten bodies are layers of the auric field which connects to 10 major chakras instead of 7)

The Sixth Body (Arc Line)

The Sixth Body is the Arc Line, which is our halo of projection and radiance which creates balance between the physical and cosmic realms. It is nucleus of the Auric Body, and provides focus, concentration and intuition.

Represents:  Guru Hargobind Ji
Virtue:  justice
Weakness:  over protective, gullible
Strength:  focused, intuitive

Weakness:  a weak Arc Line allows us to become easily influenced and over protective, since there is no focus or intuition for protection.

Strength:  a strong Arc Line creates a person of prayer, protects the heart centre, and provides nervous system and glandular balance. It allows a person to manifest whatever they wish for in their life.
