🧵 The 6 Bodies Beyond Your Physical Body 🧬

Ancient Rishis knew:
You are NOT just a body of flesh & bones.
You are a multidimensional being.
Explore the 6 sacred sheaths of consciousness.

A spiritual science that modern science is just discovering... 👇

1. Physical Body (Annamaya Kosha)
📍Made of: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether
📍Fueled by: Food (Anna) & Breath (Prana)
This is the gross body - what you see in the mirror.
But it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Everything else lies beyond...

2. Etheric Body (Pranamaya Kosha)
⚡ The electromagnetic body
⚡ Governs life-force (Prana) flow
It’s the blueprint for health.
When your Prana is blocked - illness begins.
Balanced via:
✅ Pranayama
✅ Marma therapy
✅ Sunlight

3. Astral Body (Manomaya Kosha)
🌀 Mind, Emotions, Desires
🌀 The seat of dreams, intuition & subtle senses
This is the body that travels in dreams or during astral projection.
Purified by:
🧘‍♂️ Dhyana
📿 Japa
🔥 Vairagya

4. Light Body (Vijnanamaya Kosha)
🔆 Body of Higher Wisdom
🔆 Inner guidance, intellect & spiritual knowing
It holds your sanskars (imprints) & karmic codes.
Activated by:
📖 Self-inquiry
🕉️ Upanishadic knowledge
🧠 Discrimination (Viveka)

5. Soul Body (Anandamaya Kosha)
✨ Pure Bliss (Ananda)
✨ Your deepest layer - closest to the Divine
This is where duality dissolves.
All spiritual practices aim to experience this body.
This is YOU, the Atman.

6. Celestial Body (Karana Sharira / Causal Body)
🌌 The root cause of birth & rebirth
🌌 Stores karmas of many lives
Also called the Seed Body.
It’s only transcended in deep Samadhi or Moksha.
The doorway to merging with the Supreme Brahman.

🌺 Conclusion:
You are a being of multi-layered consciousness.
From Anna to Atman.
From Body to Brahman.
Know yourself - not just biologically, but spiritually.
That’s true Ayurveda, true Sanatan Dharma, true Yoga.

ॐ तत्सत 🕉️
