Panchkosha – The 5 Layers of a Human Being

[ad_1]

If you rummage through manuscripts and texts on the human energy field – eastern or western, ancient or contemporary – sooner or later you will encounter the subject of our auric field and its layers. While it is common for us to think of our soul or energy as an undifferentiated blob, in reality it exists as a space of shifting vibration, densities and purposes. These layers may slightly vary in their nomenclature and description from one source to another, the core concepts behind their constitution and differentiation are largely similar.

Whether you peruse ancient Vedic texts or refer to modern day bibles on the human energetic field, the human energy field is viewed as a domain moving outwards from the human body- rising in vibration and decreasing in its density. The subtler the energy, the more connected it is to the divine and the universe as a whole, and therefore the more aware, awakened and intuitively informed it is. The lower the vibration, the more rooted it is in three dimensional reality and our life here on Earth.

The Vedic system of thought differentiated the human energetic field into five distinct layers. Seen as part of the human ‘being’, these five layers or kosha (literally meaning sheaths) are as follows:

Annamaya Kosha: Literally translating to ‘food sheath’, this layer is said to rise of the earth element as it is nurtured by the grain it offers us. Comprised of our physical body and our senses, this is the densest layer of the human being as it relates to the earth element.

Pranamaya Kosha: This sheath is comprised of our prana or energy as relates to the human body i.e. the seven chakras, our kundalini energy as well as the energetic channels in our body – sushmana, ida and pingala. Responsible for the energetic workings of our body at the subconscious and conscious levels, this sheath of energy surrounds the annamaya kosha.

Manomaya Kosha: The domain of the mind, this sheath drives the processes of logic and reasoning by managing and building upon the information assimilated by the physical senses. This layer is therefore comprised of three sub layers- the subconscious mind, the conscious mind, and the super conscious mind.

Vigyanmaya Kosha: The next layer in the human energy is the Vigyanmaya Kosha which is the seat of human wisdom. Connected to both- the ego and the intellect-this layer contains our awareness, intuitive knowing and acquired knowledge which allows us to be discriminating and authentic in our choices and actions.

Anandmaya Kosha: The realm of spiritual ecstasy, the outermost sheath of the human energetic field vibrates at the highest frequency and stays in connection with the divine at some level. It therefore co-creates with the divine and carries the core intent of the soul- to experience and manifest joy. This is a layer that exists in bliss as its energy is free of stimulus or reason, and their trappings.
