We continue our exploration of the koshas this week with the 4th kosha. Vijnanamaya kosha is our wisdom body. The seat of our intellect.We strive for both wisdom and intellect and yet struggle to define them in practical ways. That’s our Work IN today. We’ll look at simple ways to tap into this wisdom layer of our selves to build awareness and resilience on our journey into our true self.

We are rarely who we think we are. Or are we? Manomaya kosha is the mental illusion over our true self. Our Work IN today we’re discussing our mind, its monkey aspects, squirrelish behavior and how to untangle the truth of who we are. Welcome back to our series on the koshas. We've discussed Annamaya, our physical body layer, last week we talked about pranamaya kosha our energetic/breath layer and today we’re diving into Manomaya Kosha. Mano= mind Maya= illusion. Manomaya is all about our thoughts.  

In this episode we go beyond habit change and explore what it takes to disrupt the patterns (samskaras) that we hold to keep us safe. We develop patterns of movement, thought and emotion to keep ourselves safe. It's those patterns that run beneath all our behaviors and habits. If we want to change anything we need to start by disrupting those patterns.
