What Is Manomaya Kosha- Mental Layer? Guided Meditation! The Art Of Living!

#PanchKosha #GuidedMeditation #TheArtOfLiving #yogawayoflife #lockdown Hey, there you lovely people! Welcome to Everyday Life- Yoga and Naturopathy. In earlier videos, I told you about the Annamaya Kosha and Pranamaya Kosha of the five Panch Koshas. Today, in this video we will discuss the mind that is Manomaya Kosha. But first, if you have not subscribed to my channel then please subscribe to it and press the bell icon. Manomaya kosha is the third of the five layers, or sheaths, of the body, which are collectively referred to as Pancha kosha in yogic philosophy. Manomaya kosha is the mental sheath, composed of manas, meaning "mind." Instinctual consciousness, thoughts, and perception are all linked to Manomaya kosha. Manomaya encompasses the processing of thoughts and emotions. It is the connection point between the lower and upper two sheaths. It involves the functions of the mind that relate to everyday living and our individual interpretation of life. The Manomaya kosha can be either useful or detrimental, depending on how we train the mind. Fortunately, the practice of yoga is designed to bring out the higher functions of Manomaya kosha.  The mind makes a constant commentary about our experiences as we go about our lives. It is this commentary that can be a major hindrance to the development of the mind. Essentially, our minds create constant judgments and assumptions based on our one-sided perception of our experiences. Fortunately, since our yoga practice allows us to experience these same aspects of our lives from the mat, we can work on the Manomaya kosha during practice.  During your practice, your mind will come up with all sorts of thoughts about your practice—your ability, your strength, your balance. It will comment on the postures of other people. It will comment on the teacher or the teaching. You will make assumptions, you will judge, and at times you may be overcome with emotion. Getting caught up in the mind’s constant commentary is a sure way to end up frustrated or unhappy. But it is all part of the process. This is how the mind works. And we can use our practice to develop the higher functions of Manomaya so that we can move into the inner, more subtle sheaths without hindrance.  The concentration we place on the breath, postures, and gazing point during yoga all help to train the mind to stay present. Instead of being pulled into the stories, we tell ourselves about our experiences, by keeping the attention on the breath, the asana, and the gaze, we become abler to simply notice the commentary as it arises, and to let it fall away as we remain steady. The next time you find yourself getting caught up in the stories you tell yourself, notice that you’ve done so, and bring your attention back to the breath. This constant return of focus to the breath takes work, but eventually, it becomes an inherent practice that allows us to be more of a witness to our mind rather than held in the grips of our thoughts.  If you have ever used your breath—specifically, your focus on the breath—to help calm your mind from an overwhelming experience or difficult emotion (on or off the mat), you have felt the two aspects of Manomaya kosha. The ability to rise out of thought patterns that do not serve us is perhaps the most valuable aspect of this practice we call yoga. The mind is a powerful force, and we have the ability to train the mind as a way to find ease in life. This is the potential of Manomaya kosha. How the Manomaya Kosha Learns Before humans recorded information in books, knowledge was shared through stories and songs. Ancient yogis used chanting and mantra in this way. A mantra is a tool used to focus the mind. I remember my first yoga class with chanting in the Art of Living organization. I loved to sing, but I wanted to understand the meaning of the words and many of the chants were in Sanskrit. I began to really love mantra and chanting and also found their meanings. I studied more about sound and toning. Here’s a Guided meditation of The Art of Living organization by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji that I am sharing with you, you can check the link in the description below. Scientists continue to share the healing effects of sound. Sound vibration therapy is proven to affect the body on a cellular level – it can relax muscles, release tension, improve circulation, maximize the flow of energy and alleviate pain. Yogis believe that there are different phonetic sounds for each part of the body, including the chakras. The pitch, volume, and pace that you use will also have different effects. Chanting and mantra is one aspect of yoga. Find what suits you. Modify when you need to, just like you would a challenging yoga pose, try to give yourself a chance to experience the healing effects to your body through mantra sound or chanting.
