Résumé

TLDRThe video explores the yogic concept of five layers of the body known as koshas, which include the physical body (annamaya kosha), mental body (manomaya kosha), energy body (pranamaya kosha), intellectual body (vijñanamaya kosha), and bliss body (anandamaya kosha). The physical body is considered a heap of food shaped by genetic or karmic information, while the mental body is viewed as a combination of memory and intelligence in each cell. The energy body offers vitality and supports the physical and mental realms. Vijñanamaya kosha serves as a bridge, incorporating knowledge that transcends the ordinary senses. Anandamaya kosha, deemed blissful when experienced, embodies the non-physical nature within. Balance among these layers can alleviate chronic ailments and promote well-being.

Chronologie

00:00:00 - 00:05:57
The speaker discusses the concept of five layers of the body in the yogic system: annamaya kosha (physical body formed by food), manomaya kosha (mental body, intelligence, and memory), pranamaya kosha (energy body), vijnanamaya kosha (transitory body of extraordinary knowledge), and anandamaya kosha (bliss body, non-physical). The physical body is shaped by embedded genetic or karmic information. The mind or mental body is viewed as intelligence and memory present in every cell, working with genetic information. If individuals do not know how to evolve this information, it becomes a repetitive cycle. The pranamaya kosha powers the physical and mental bodies. The fourth layer, vijnanamaya kosha, is an intermediary between the physical and non-physical, while the fifth, anandamaya kosha, is a non-physical dimension experienced as blissful. Balancing the energy body can lead to physical and psychological well-being, allowing individuals to walk away from chronic ailments.

00:00:06
in the yogic system I'm saying in the
00:00:11
yogic system not in yoga in yoga there
00:00:13
are more aspects to it in the system
00:00:16
that's been written down we talked about
00:00:18
five layers of body five sheets of body
00:00:22
these are called annamaya kosha mano my
00:00:26
Akasha Ramanna my question
00:00:28
Vicky Anna my question Arnold amicus
00:00:31
Anna means the food that you've eaten
00:00:34
the physical body that you carry is just
00:00:36
a heap of food what you've eaten or it's
00:00:39
a piece of this planet it is taking on
00:00:43
this kind of form because of a certain
00:00:46
software which is already within you you
00:00:48
can call it genetics you can call it
00:00:50
karmic you can call it so many things
00:00:52
but essentially it's information a
00:00:54
certain memory shapes this particular
00:00:57
body in a particular way why eating the
00:01:02
same potato your nose became like this
00:01:05
and somebody's nose became like that is
00:01:07
simply because of the type of
00:01:08
information that's embedded in that
00:01:10
person fortunately if you eat a potato
00:01:15
you your nose will not take that shape
00:01:18
you know it's a it's a good thing
00:01:20
because there's other information which
00:01:23
is giving shape to these things so
00:01:27
physical body is essentially an
00:01:28
accumulation of fruit we we never refer
00:01:33
to the mind as mind the yogic system is
00:01:37
always looked at it as a mental body
00:01:40
because there is intelligence in every
00:01:43
cell of your body there is memory in
00:01:45
every cell of your body it is a
00:01:48
combination of memory and intelligence
00:01:50
which you are referring to as my mind
00:01:52
isn't it is there one cell in your body
00:01:55
which can function with it without its
00:01:57
own intelligence is there one cell in
00:01:59
your body which can function without
00:02:01
memory we know today by checking the DNA
00:02:04
of a person it's absolutely unique there
00:02:06
isn't another one like that so there is
00:02:09
information a very specific information
00:02:11
concerned with that person
00:02:14
now this information can be altered can
00:02:19
be evolved can be made use of
00:02:21
information does not mean it is a
00:02:24
deciding factor information means it is
00:02:28
an enabling factor isn't it but because
00:02:31
people have lost the ability to enable
00:02:33
their information into a new possibility
00:02:35
it is become a deciding factor now so
00:02:39
whatever your genetics are whatever your
00:02:41
karmic information is this is
00:02:44
information if you know how to use it it
00:02:47
has a phenomenal possibility if you do
00:02:50
not know how to use it it becomes a
00:02:52
static cycle creating itself in a
00:02:54
certain way so this is your hardware
00:02:58
that is your software but these two
00:03:00
things cannot do anything by themselves
00:03:02
unless you plug it in to quality power
00:03:04
so the third layer of the body is prana
00:03:06
my question this is the energy body
00:03:11
these three are physical in nature when
00:03:15
I say physical in nature it is very
00:03:17
clear that this light bulb is physical
00:03:20
but the electricity behind it is also
00:03:22
physical the light that is animating
00:03:25
from it is also physical it is getting
00:03:29
subtle but still physical so these three
00:03:31
are physical in nature the physical body
00:03:33
the mental body and the energy body all
00:03:36
three are physical in nature the fourth
00:03:39
dimension is referred to as Vigyan
00:03:41
emotion I know the word vegan is being
00:03:44
used very liberally today vegan
00:03:46
essentially comes from vicious gun
00:03:50
vicious means an extraordinary knowledge
00:03:54
knowledge that you can grasp through
00:03:56
five senses is considered ordinary
00:04:00
knowledge that which you cannot grasp
00:04:03
through the five senses but it's been
00:04:06
grasped in some other way he is referred
00:04:08
to as vicious gun which together becomes
00:04:12
vegan so this is Vicky annamaya kosha
00:04:15
this is a transitory body between the
00:04:18
physical and the non-physical it is a
00:04:21
body of transition the fifth one is a
00:04:25
completely
00:04:26
non-physical dimension this we call is
00:04:29
an under mic OSHA which means bliss body
00:04:32
this does not mean a bubble of bliss is
00:04:34
sitting inside of you you know it is not
00:04:39
it is just that it is non-physical in
00:04:43
nature that which is not physical in
00:04:46
nature you can neither define or
00:04:48
describe the nature of what it is
00:04:49
because it's not physical so we talk
00:04:53
about it in terms of our experience
00:04:55
whenever we touch it we become blissful
00:04:58
so we are calling it bliss body it's
00:05:02
like if somebody's feast sweet to you
00:05:04
you call them honey this doesn't mean
00:05:06
they're dripping like that we are
00:05:11
calling this non-physical dimension
00:05:13
within us as bliss body that is not the
00:05:18
nature of it but that is our experience
00:05:21
of it whenever we touch it we become
00:05:23
blissful so we are calling it bliss body
00:05:25
the first three are physical if you
00:05:29
bring sufficient balance into your
00:05:31
pranamaya kosha are the energy body and
00:05:33
keep it in full by vibrance your
00:05:36
physical body and psychological body or
00:05:40
the mental body there can be no ill
00:05:42
health in it I can show you hundreds and
00:05:45
thousands of people who walked away from
00:05:48
their chronic ailments simply by
00:05:51
bringing a certain balance to their
00:05:52
inner system
00:05:53
