Some of the lines energetically traced on the body have the frequencies of specific stars and related attributes, e.g., Polaris (directionality, staying on course), Orion's Belt (courage), Arcturus (connecting to your own truth). The Axiatonal system is discussed in the book The Keys of Enoch by Hurtak. This work is related to medical astronomy and sacred geometry.
