Inner Smile Meditation For Connecting to Anandamaya Kosha
Anandamaya Kosha is the fifth of the Koshas. The subtle body layers that govern how we respond to life. This kosha is connected to the highest Self of awakening to samadhi or bliss consciousness. It is where we are one with the Divine source and we remain here briefly. At times, some attain this level of Unity Consciousness reaching the 7th state of consciousness. Mostly experienced briefly at the end of yoga nidra or yoga class, as well as during transcendental meditation.
Anandamaya Kosha, the Bliss body and the 5th Kosha. It is the junction between formless Source in form. Taking the abstract and making it tangible. It is also a space where we enter into Sarahsrara chakra and discover Samadhi. It is a place where Shiva and Shakti or consciousness and energy meet and intermingle. It is experienced as a sense of pure silent joy. A space of abiding stillness and perfect contentment without cause or reason.
Anandamaya Kosha, the Bliss Body
Bliss body
The oneness of all things in unison
No fragmentation
Pure consciousness, the wisdom of the universe
Intuition, inspiration, and healing
The bliss body or AnandaMaya Kosha is the most powerful of all the five coaches, being the first involution into form.
It is a place where Shiva and Shakti or consciousness and energy meet and intermingle. It is experienced as a sense of pure silent joy. It is a space of abiding stillness and perfect contentment without cause or reason.
The experience of love as a blissful body is not emotional ecstasy, which has the opposite, rather it is a spontaneous opening of the heart that is so overwhelming, that tears may come to your eyes. It leaves you with a feeling of great gratitude and oneness with everything. Among the five Koshas, this one reflects the divine bliss of the cell. Christians call it “being saved” or “Holy Spirit watching over them”. Those who are involved with the healing arts, such as Reiki, Yoga, or Spiritual practices will consider this as Source, God, Atman, the universe, light, consciousness, oneness, and spirit.
Chitta comprises the casual body – another name for the bliss body. The causal body is the vehicle through which the individual soul reincarnates and it is said to remain through rebirth. It contains karmic imprints carried over from past lives, but only a few are revealed in a particular lifetime depending on the environment. Side note that this also will revert back to how emotional and traumatic energies are stored within the body and hence why we utilize the different practices of Yoga to begin to break down these conditioned behaviors. Chitta or individualized consciousness is not bad. It determines our distinct character, personality, and mind. However, some things held in
Our individualized consciousness is not helpful. Yoga Nidra can reach directly into this hard drive known as Citta. And as a means to rewrite what is contained in it. When we change the patterns and the conditioning of our brains we change the patterns and habits of how we see energy in our bodies.
