Kardecian Spiritism — Perispirit and fluidic circulation
Kardecian Spiritism — Perispirit and fluidic circulation is a Brazilian-French Spiritist — Kardec perispirit doctrine body system as transmitted through the lineage Kardecian Spiritism describes the perispirit as the semi-material envelope of the immortal Spirit and the intermediary between Spirit and physical body. The Spirits' Book presents it as a fluidic, sensation-bearing body, while The Book on Mediums describes the action and transmission of fluids in mediumistic phenomena; later Spiritist writers such as Gabriel Delanne systematise this into a circulating perispiritic field.. This page lists every point in the system with sourced placements and links to cross-tradition correspondences curated for The Body Spiritual.

- Allan Kardec, The Spirits' Book (transl. Anna Blackwell, Colby and Rich, 1875) — Questions 93–95 define the perispirit as a semi-material envelope and intermediary between Spirit and body; questions 135–146 discuss the Spirit's fluidic body and sensation.
- Allan Kardec, The Book on Mediums (transl. Emma A. Wood, Colby and Rich, 1874) — The chapters on the action of fluids and healing mediumship describe universal fluid, its transmission, and the operation of invisible intelligences through fluidic means.
- Gabriel Delanne, Recherches sur la médiumnité (Paris, 1898) — A secondary Spiritist synthesis extending Kardec's account of the perispirit, its sensory mediation, and fluidic action.
Known lineage variants
- Kardec's canonical texts describe the perispirit and fluidic action, but do not provide a modern chakra diagram or a fixed list of crown, solar-plexus, and hand coordinates; these points are an editorial front-view projection with widened uncertainty.
- The crown and solar-plexus marks render proposed intake foci for universal fluid, and the bilateral hands render healing-pass emission; these are functional teaching anchors rather than anatomical structures or claims that Kardec used chakra terminology.
- The perispirit is described as enveloping and mirroring the physical body, so the sensation and corpus points follow the front-view silhouette. Anatomical-right is placed at x < 0.5 under the repository's body-coordinate convention.
- The circulation channel is a schematic loop for fluidic circulation and does not assert a textually fixed vessel, measurable flow, or clinical treatment protocol.

Frequently asked
What is Crown — universal fluid intake?
This crown mark represents the editorial intake focus where universal fluid is shown entering the perispiritic field. Kardec describes fluidic mediation but does not prescribe a crown point, so the coordinate is schematic and carries a broad uncertainty radius.
What is Head — sensation-bearing perispirit?
The head point marks the perispirit as the medium through which the incarnated Spirit receives bodily sensation. It is a representative sensory interface on the mirrored body, not a claim that sensation resides in a discrete fluidic head organ.
What is Thorax — perispiritic corpus?
This thoracic point represents the perispiritic corpus where the fluidic envelope mirrors the chest and mediates bodily experience. The central placement keeps the diagram legible; it does not identify the perispirit with the physical heart or lungs.
What is Solar plexus region — universal fluid intake?
The solar-plexus-region point marks a second editorial intake focus for universal fluid in the perispiritic field. Neither Kardecian canonical text names a chakra or fixes this coordinate, so it should be read as a schematic focus for fluidic work rather than a physical plexus claim.
What is Abdomen — perispiritic corpus?
This abdominal point extends the mirrored corpus down the front-view body and keeps the sensation-bearing field continuous. The broad uncertainty radius records that the texts support a perispiritic envelope, not a pinpoint abdominal centre.
What is Lower body — perispiritic return?
The lower-body point is the return focus used to close the diagram's schematic perispiritic circulation. It is not a canonical lower dantian or chakra: the location is an editorial anchor chosen to keep the mirrored fluidic body continuous.
What is Anatomical right hand — healing-pass emission?
The anatomical-right hand is shown as an outward emission point for healing passes and is intentionally given the largest radius among the points. Under the front-view convention anatomical-right is x < 0.5; the hand emphasis is a practice-oriented rendering, not a claim that Kardec fixed a unique hand outlet.
What is Anatomical left hand — healing-pass emission?
The anatomical-left hand mirrors the right as a second outward emission point for healing passes, preserving the bilateral emphasis requested for this system. Anatomical-left appears at x > 0.5 in the front view, and the point remains a schematic fluidic focus rather than a physical conduit.
