Many people have a limited understanding of yoga, thinking that it is restricted to the asana practice of increasing flexibility, toning up muscles, relaxing the body, increasing strength, improving balance and finding stress relief. While yoga does all of the above that is a limited view of what yoga really has to offer us. The true purpose of yoga is to develop a relationship with the self that exists deep within our core, which is called Jivatman (individual soul). Jivatman is a unity of Atman, the supreme soul, or Brahman, that is always there, unchanging and endlessly radiating the energy of peace, love and compassion.
The fourth kosha is considered part of the subtle body. Vijnana means knowing, and this sheath represents the higher mind, the faculty of wisdom, which lies underneath the processing, thinking, reactive mind. This is the level of our being, that has the higher wisdom to guide us through life and lead us to higher and higher levels of truth. Manomaya Kosha, The Mental Body. This level encompasses the next 2 stages of meditation, pratyahara, and dharana, which directly correlate to the mind. This is called the manomaya kosha. During pratyahara, you withdraw your chitta, or consciousness, away from the five sense organs. This is done in the practice of yoga nidra through the process. A guided meditation for Pancha Kosha can be preceded with a session of Sudarshan Kriya, which is taught in the Happiness Program. The latter attunes all the sheaths with nature, thereby harmonizing your body, mind, and spirit. This helps in making your meditation deeper and more powerful. FIND A HAPPINESS PROGRAM NEAR YOU.
Nfs most wanted cheats xbox 360. According to the Upanishads, our human nature, or prakriti, is comprised of five different dimensions. Our mortal body, (the temple of our individualized atman,) expands into more subtle layers of energy around our spiritual center. Human beings consist of five distinct energy sheaths called “koshas” that surround our jivatman. Each kosha vibrates at different speeds, and they interact and overlap with each other, ranging from gross to transcendental dimensions.
The pancha koshas (five sheaths) provide us with a road map for better understanding of our psychological and spiritual development. There are namely:
Physical – Annamaya kosha
Energy – Pranamaya kosha
Mental – Manamaya kosha
Wisdom – Vijnanamaya kosha
Bliss – Anandamaya kosha
Self – Atman
In each kosha’s name you have the word ‘maya’, which many people understand as meaning ‘illusion’, but in this context it actually means, ‘consists of.’
1. Annamaya kosha, (the sheath which consists of food)
‘Anna’ means food. This sheath is our physical body and is the densest of all the koshas. It includes our bones and also the tissues which make up our muscles and organs. It is the lowest vibration of ourselves. Here, energy is solidified into matter and it is made of the five elements, of which the earth element is the dominant one. It is called the food layer because it is created by the food that we eat. It is the structure that contains both the prana and the consciousness. If one gets ‘stuck’ into this layer, then one becomes over obsessive about form.
2. Pranamaya kosha, (the sheath that which consists of energy)
‘Prana’ means energy. This kosha is the vital life force that moves through the body. It literally consists of the breath and the five pranas, namely: prana, apana, udana, samana and vyana. These forms of prana control various functions within the physical body, and without prana, the body would be lifeless, and unable to move or think. It is the prana that makes the blood flow, carries impulses through the nerves from our body, to the brain and back. Prana also circulates between the physical body and the different sheaths through the agency of the nadis. Prana is in the form of vital, mental, psychic and spiritual energy. It is what allows us to travel from gross, to subtle and causal bodies.
3. Manamaya kosha, (the sheath that consists of the mind)
‘Mana’ means mind. This kosha is made up of our thoughts, feelings, mind and emotion. This is what we commonly call the ‘monkey’ mind and it is through the prism of this dimension that we perceive the world and our likes and dislikes (raga and dvesha) via the agency of the five senses. We continuously experience pain-pleasure opposition in our life, which destabilizes us and is also responsible for our happiness and unhappiness.
Consciousness is the act of being connected to the outer world through our senses, which are connected to the brain through the mind. Mind functions on three levels:
• Conscious: mind connects the outer world to the brain
• Subconscious: mind stores of all the experiences
• Unconscious mind: the ‘Real Self’ or ‘Atman’
Many people are ‘stuck’ in this sheath as they are abducted by their mind. In order to shift from this dimension, practices such as pranayama and pratyahara (mental withdrawing of the senses,) are very efficient.
Patajajali tells us in the yoga sutras: “Yogash chitta vritti nirodhah. Tada drashtuh svarupe avasthanam”. (“Yoga is the mastery of the activities of the mind-field. Then the seer rests in its true nature.”) Which brings us nicely to the next kosha.
4. Vijnanamaya kosha, (that which consists of subtle knowledge)
‘Vijnana’ means subtle knowledge or wisdom. In this kosha we reach intuitive knowing and higher levels of consciousness. In this sheath the awareness of the body and mind is lost, and awareness is established as the ‘higher’ mind. We know, decide, judge, and discriminate from the wisdom part of ourselves, our higher consciousness. Consequently, the higher mind turns within towards the soul, seeking the Truth, and searching for the eternal center of consciousness. Vijnanamaya kosha, through the agency of the nadis, links the conscious mind, the higher mind and the universal mind.
Practices such as dharana, (mental focus on an object) and dhyana, (meditation on the divine,) are inner disciplines that progressively help us to channel our focus towards a deeper level of consciousness.
5. Anandamaya kosha, (the sheath that consists of Bliss)
‘Ananda’ means bliss. It is the spiritual or causal body, where, finally, you become one with the “divine spark,” which is our soul. Anandamaya kosha is connected to the unconscious or superconscious mind. It is only when the higher mind fuses with the superconscious mind, (or unconscious mind,) that one awakens to the Presence with a sense of connection to all. It is the highest level of vibration in this life. It is said that when you realize the Self or God, you reach “Mukti,” or liberation. Very few people have managed to reach anandamaya kosha, only saints and realized souls. This is when we reach Samadhi.
This is the road map that ancient seers have left us to help us understand our journey back to wholeness, so that we can break free from all bondageThe koshas, immunity and healthNovember 14, 2019 8:18 pm
Health is complex and there are many facets that make up the full picture.
There are different approaches or maps that can be used in helping to understand the multi layered picture of complexities that have an impact on the health of the immune system.
For the purpose of this blog we are going to use the map of the koshas. The koshas are a yogic framework that present the human being as five layers or sheaths. 5 Koshas Yoga
They are called the ‘pancha kosha’
Kosha can be translated as sheath. Pancha meaning five. Maya is illusion or that which separates.
Described in the Taittiriya Upanishad (6th century BC ) the ‘pancha kosha’ are:
~Anamaya kosha – ‘foodstuff’ or “physical’ sheath
~Pranamaya kosha – ‘energy’ or ‘physiological’ sheath
~Manomaya kosha – ‘mental’ sheath
~Vijnanamaya kosha – ‘wisdom’ sheath
~Anandamaya kosha – ‘bliss’ sheath
It is known and scientific research now confirms that the health picture is multi dimensional. The health of the immune system can be impacted upon in many ways. Diet, stress and environment are just some of the things that can have have an impact.
The koshas or layers of our make up also relate to the elements. So let’s briefly look at each kosha in relation to an element and also type of lifestyle practices that could positively impact on the immune system, overall health and balance. Swami Pancha Kosha
Annamaya Kosha, also called the food sheath, is related to the earth element. It makes up the physical body, the most gross part of our makeup. Anna in sanskrit means food, so the nourishment of the annamaya kosha comes from the food we eat, but also from everything we ingest through the senses. The smells, the sounds, what our eyes see, the things we touch with our hands and bodies.
Eating a healthy whole foods diet, being in an environment where the sights and sounds sooth and nourish us. Giving and experiencing positive touch. All these things will give a boost to the immune system, and they are all important. It is known that an absence of physical touch and loneliness can be a significant factor in decreased immunity, whereas positive touch and community is health promoting, aiding the bodies innate capacity for healing.
Pranamaya Kosha is the energy sheath. It is connected to the element of water. It is related to the annamaya kosha in that what we absorb on the physical level is then turned into our prana, our energy. So we will experience higher levels of energy and better quality of energy from organic vegetables than processed fast food. It is also very much connected to the breath. We will be nourished by the view and fresh air on the coast more than down a polluted alley in a city. The more energy, prana we have and the higher the quality of that energy the higher our levels of vitality and immunity. Like water, prana can flow and move, it is fluid in nature.
Manomaya Kosha is made of the mind, the manas. It is linked to the element of fire.It is our sense of self and I ness. Huge potential lies in this sheath, turning ideas in creations of reality. This layer can also be a place of darkness if the energy behind the thoughts leads to an overwhelm of mental negativity. How well nourished the annamaya kosha and pranamaya kosha are have a direct link on the state of mind experienced in the manomaya kosha. Meditation practices and chanting have a very positive effect on the health of Manomaya kosha.
Vijnanamaya Kosha is linked to the element of air. It is discernment, the intellect and the embodiment of wisdom. Vijnanamaya kosha is about a state of observation. It is present throughout the other koshas even if we are not perceiving it on a conscious level. The more refinement manomaya kosha has the more we become aware of the workings of vignanamaya kosha.
Anandamaya Kosha. Ananda means bliss. A state of joy and integrated balance. It is touched when we feel in harmony, aligned to our true nature. Sometimes we get a glimpse of it at the end of a yoga practice in savasana, when in nature or when our lives are aligned to the dharma of the soul.
The 5 sheaths can be pictured as sitting one on top of the other, like the skin of an onion from the gross to the most subtle. Yet in reality they are interchanging and interconnected. They point to the holistic nature of vibrant health and immunity and the need for nourishment of the body, mind and soul.
We need proper exercise, good breathing, a nourishing diet, healthy relationships, positive thoughts and time for deep rest and relaxation. A yogic lifestyle embraced in its fullest sense offers a good map to holistically nourish and support the immune system. Pancha Kosha Meditation
Taking time for yourself on a yoga retreat or holiday offers the perfect opportunity to connect with the many facets of your whole self. See the Yoga on a Shoestring calendar of retreats.
