We live on a giant magnet (planet earth) and the bodies we carry are part of it. How human bodies are connected to that bigger field? How this field pervades the body?
Earth Magnetic field is generated by the dynamic fluid motion of matter happening within the core of the planet: transferring heat through a pool of molten iron-nickel, generating electric currents that travel in and out-all around the globe creating an electromagnetic field/ invisible aura called the magnetosphere. A protective layer that acts as a shield protecting us from harmful cosmic rays and solar winds. Every planet within the solar system has a magnetic field, a layer responsible to maintain an atmosphere conducive to life, in some cases stronger than others, which results in not being conducive at all, like planet mars that only exhibits vestiges of an old magnetic field because of the cooling off of the iron core; or the moon, lacking dynamic motion within the core resulting in a weak field compared to the one on planet earth.

These subtle forms of electromagnetic radiation are constantly bathing the human body. The body receives them as much as generates its own magnetic/ auric fields.
At a personal level I experience it as waves- electric currents traveling trough the body, sensed as sudden chills and movements perceived from the outside as much as gestated in the inside, reverberating in and out through my skin. Something i can compare to the sudden electric shock or spark when touching someone or something (metal). I can’t quiet proof that through any specific method other than my own censorial experience, feeling these more often when working with my body including art making, yoga and breathing practices.
“Along the north- south axis of the earth runs a powerful force.
Dual in nature, opposite in charge.
At the core where these forces meet, resistance takes place leading to a process of dissolution: As a result spacious balance lacking any characteristics of its own unfolds as landscapes of infinite possibilities…
Where different tones, alterations and colors play in constant movement.
Where unpredictable opposites light and fully present gracefully flow.
Where upward spirals overlap intersecting lifetimes of search. “
