The Koshas: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Welcome to the Koshas

Kosha means sheath, and Maya means illusory. These suffixes indicate that these are illusory sheaths of embodiment that may appear to separate us from Source, but in fact, do not. Thus the Ananda-maya-kosha would mean, "the illusory sheath of bliss that appears to separate us from the whole." All of the koshas can be translated the same way. This is a subtle way of reinforcing that even though we are embodied, we are not and never have been separate from Source.

There are 5 koshas named as follows:

Anamaya Kosha - Physical Body
Pranamaya Kosha - Energetic Body
Manamaya Kosha - Mental Body
Vijnamaya Kosha - Wisdom Body
Anandamaya Kosha - Bliss Body

Manomaya Kosha, the 3rd of the 5 Koshas is the Mental layer of the Koshas. The space of processing everything we are receiving from Anamaya and Pranamaya. We put it all together within the intellect and are able to recognize situations from a "big picture" rather than focusing on the minute aspect.

Gentle to Medium 30min Yoga Flow for Manomaya Kosha

Manomaya kosha is the mental layer of the Koshas. In this video, we are keeping it basic as we learn how we see the world, is based on the state of consciousness that we are in. Manomaya Kosha is the energetic "action"- based part of how our physiology translates what we take in and how we process it.

This week we are focusing on Manomaya Kosha, the 3rd of the 5 Koshas. This sequence is designed to encourage you to experience how we connect to the mental layer of the body. How we get in our own way and block ourselves from abundance.
