Just like the sun we have emerged out of the dark wintery shadows. Well done, you've made it! Your winter maybe wasn't great, presenting it's own fresh and stale challenges and maybe spring will be the same but just for now you're ok. You are more than ok, and perhaps ready now to expand your creative energy with fresh starts and new beginnings.
Find your own inner compass with Troon Yoga and spring into new beginnings.
When you listen closely, you begin to feel how your body receives nature’s message on the physical level. The physical body asks for renewal: to release and detoxify stored heaviness from winter through light movement, and increased social interaction. We are mammals that need each other for psychological well-being. The creative mind urges you to learn something new and explore different directions and body movements than you may not have tried before. Physical yoga practices along with natural forms of healing like Reflexology and Reiki also work on this kosha - Annamaya, by helping to purify, cleanse and refine this sheath known as the food sheath.
The Annamaya Kosha is deemed to be created and maintained by what we consume.
The spiritual-self moves you to align with earth’s blossoming energies by envisioning and deciding on how best to move forward into a desired future that has been pre determined by you. Spring is a time for setting clear intentions for desired outcomes. The pranamaya kosha is the vital energy, breath, or life force sheath. In Sanskrit, the word “prana” refers to life force and is the word for breath.
Awareness of this kosha allows you to move stagnant energy, so you can experience greater vitality and an energetic connection to yourself, others, and nature. The spiritual-self moves you to align with earth’s blossoming energies by envisioning and deciding on how best to move forward into a desired future. When we feel in-spired we are in spirit!
New beginnings are the first step toward awakening your fullest potential.
The manomaya kosha is contained within the annamaya kosha (physical) and pranamaya kosha (breath). This mental sheath represents your mind, emotions and inner world. Acting as a messenger, it brings experiences and sensations from the outer world into your intuitive body. Along with your physical yoga practice you might also set clear intentions after deciding what is important to you. The winter months offered space for internalising and self reflection, and spring is the time to get mentally focused, physically moving, active and motivated, for everything that is yet to come.
This layer (manomaya) includes thought forms, mental activity, and awareness of thoughts. Getting in touch with this kosha involves looking at your perceptions and mental patterns.
Are you ready to grow, transform, and awaken your utmost potential?
The vijnanamaya kosha (awareness or wisdom sheath) is the astral or psychic body that’s your seat of intuition. It allows you to develop a deeper awareness and to see reality for what it is. Thought of as “the mind beyond the mind,” this kosha is connected to your deeper and more subtle layers of thoughts.
The vijnanamaya kosha helps develop clarity and inner reflection as you learn to detach from your thoughts, ego, or sense of self. By remaining the witness, you may learn to become more present and aware of each moment.
The anandamaya kosha is referred to as the bliss body. It’s the deepest and subtlest of all layers. An experience that can be hard to put into words, it's more a felt like experience.
Developing your anandamaya kosha requires the discipline to complete inner work and spiritual practices over a long period of time. There is no short cut or a quick route
. It takes practice, practice, practice.
This level of consciousness relates to the essence of your true self or nature, which is perfection.
Transcending all five sheaths can lead to a state of samadhi, or unity between individual and universal consciousness. This is said to be pure bliss or joy. Who am I ? I am spirit. I am not this body.
Moments of bliss are bright enough to color your world and awaken feelings of joy.
