When we understand the five koshas of the human body, we begin to see how each layer affects us individually and collectively. We become aware of the layers of our own being and how they interact with others. By consciously exploring the koshas, we also strengthen our ability to recognize them in other people and situations. Exploring the koshas helps us:

• Become more mindful and aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions
• Learn about the relationship between our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves
• Create a clearer path and purpose for our spiritual journey
• Experience the power of transformation and self-inquiry
• Softens and dissolves the ego-mind’s selfishness, greed, anger, and jealousy.
• Strengthens mental focus and concentration
• Have a clear sense of center to better navigate your inner self.
• Gain an understanding of the true nature of reality
• Feel empowered and connected to the universe
• Move toward experiencing powerful states of Self-realization and enlightenment
