THE MANOMAYA KOSHA 🧠

The Koshas are one of many models to explain the different aspects that make us human.
⁠⁠⁠
➡️ The third kosha or layer is the manomaya kosha. 
➡️ The manomaya kosha is also known as the mental body. It is the conscious mind that takes information in through the senses. 
➡️ This is your active or conscious mind.⁠
⁠
Here is some key information about the manomaya kosha & how to balance it:⁠
⁠
🔹 Our mental states relate to the well-being of our physical and energetic bodies.⁠
🔹 Our mind needs to be trained in order for all of our other systems and koshas to function properly⁠
🔹 The primary practices for the manomaya kosha to train the mind are chanting, philosophy, education and ideas. ⁠
🔹 The study of the true self in an intellectual way is key⁠
🔹 Chanting & mantra can be a powerful way to influence the mind and make it more steady and sattvic. ⁠
🔹 Reading uplifting poetry & yoga texts helps educate us and to think properly⁠
⁠
