	Subtle body - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to various esoteric, occult, and mystical teachings, the subtle body is a non-physical energy or psycho-spiritual body or bodies that all beings have.
		A detailed account of the various subtle bodies and the corresponding planes is provided in a series of books (The Etheric Body, The Astral Body, The Mental Body, and The Causal Body) by Arthur E Powell on the basis of material compiled from the writings of Leadbeater and Besant.
		The existence of subtle bodies is unconfirmed by the scientific community.

	Astral body - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The astral body, also known as desire body or emotional body, in occultism and New Age thought, refers to a subtle body which exists alongside the physical body, as a vehicle of the soul or consciousness.
		The astral or emotional body here is understood as a sort of psychic body or aura that is made up of emotions, just as the physical body consists of matter.
		According to Max Heindel writings, the Desire body, also called Astral body by other esoteric schools and in new age adherents, is made of desire stuff from which human beings form feelings and emotions and also it impels to seek sense gratification.

	The Subtle Body
		The "Emotional Body" is the lower octave, or resonance, of the Psychic Universe, and pertains to feelings, desires, and emotions; in short, teeling.
		The subtle bodies seem to be defined according to two sets of parameters - the division into "Physical", "Subtle", and "Spiritual" on the one hand, and the distinction between "etheric", "emotional", and "mental" bodies (or willing, feeling, and knowing consciousnesses) on the other.
		Further subtle bodies are actualised in Adepts and Enlightened Beings, whilst animals and plants are described as having fewer (although I am sceptical of this claim).

	THE SUBTLE BODIES AND CONSCIOUSNESS
		It serves as the interface between the etheric body of the individual and that of the cosmos, and all the forces of the universe are reflected on its surface.
		All images, words, and sensations affect this body, and are affected by it in turn; it interacts freely with the astral level of the cosmos, and with the astral bodies of other human and non-human beings.
		This body is the instrument of abstract consciousness — that is, thought that does not involve forms and images of the sort we perceive with our senses — and thus makes it possible to perceive the core ideas or structures of experience, which exist outside of space and time.

		My reading of this is that he is saying that there is a 'subtle body' which would be a body, like our physical body, that is entwined with the physical.
		There are whole schools of metaphysics which talk about this: the astral body, the 'subtle body', etc., and they seek to explain or describe just how the spiritual body gradates into the physical body.
