The 5 sheaths or the 5 Koshas.
According to the millennial Yoga system, the human being is formed from 5 layers or Koshas in Sanskrit. These are respectively (from the most condensed to the most refined) : the physical sheath, the energetic sheath, the psycho-mental sheath, the supra-mental sheath and the blissful sheath.
When we have a painful experience at the physical level, it will definitely influence the energetic level and most likely the psycho-mental level as well. This process is explained by the strong connexions between the different layers of our being. The other way around is also very frequent. For example, experiencing physical symptoms (physical layer) after having a very strong emotion (psycho-mental layer). All the layers of our being are very closely intertwined with one another and this is why they can so easily influence each other.
Therefore, to better understand the nature of our health issues, it is highly helpful to see it from the yogic perspective, through the different layers of our being.
For those interested to deepen their understanding upon their pain and discomforts, I invite you to write to me in PM and to book a first session to see how this knowledge can help you on the path of physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual healing!
