Kosha Counseling
Deeper through the layers
The koshas, a concept from ancient Vedantic philosophy, represent the five layers or sheaths that envelop the true self, known as the Atman. These layers help us understand different aspects of our being, from the physical to the spiritual. Here’s a brief overview of each kosha:
The Physical sheath
The Energy sheath
The Mental sheath
The Wisdom sheath
The Bliss sheath
The focus of the Kosha counseling is on the energy, mental, wisdom and bliss layers. By understanding and working through these five koshas, we can journey towards self-realization and uncover the true essence of our being. Explore each layer to achieve a harmonious balance between body, mind, and spirit.
Dive deeper into the koshas and discover how they influence your daily life. Whether you’re seeking physical wellness, mental clarity, or spiritual
“When we listen to the inner wisdom of our heart and soul, we are guided to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.” Maya Tawari
