The Physical Body
The physical body houses the spirit. It is a wonderful piece of organic
machinery but is not the real you. The body is like a set of clothes.
We put them it on when we are born and cast it aside when we die.
The
physical body is animated by the prana life force of the astral body.
It is connected at seven main points, called by the Sanskrit as
chakras--which translates literally as “'wheel” although most people
envision them as lotus flowers of light. The seven major chakras, or
energy centers, correspond to the endocrine glands of the body and run
upward along the spinal chord.

What Happens After You Die?
The question of what happens after a person dies is a concern of
many people, especially as they reach old age. One would like to think
there is some sort of existence after the death of the physical body.
Those who believe that humans have a spiritual aspect or possess a soul
also believe that the spirit continues to exist after the death of the
physical body.
Depending on the person's religion, some believe
that the soul goes to Heaven (or to Hell, for bad people), while others
believe that the soul or spirit is reincarnated into another person or
even an animal. Those who do not believe a person has a soul usually
believe that once you are dead there is no other existence.
Believing
in some sort of existence after death can be comforting. Examination of
the various beliefs can help you make up your mind about this issue.
