What is Manomaya Kosha, it is the mental sheath - the sheath of the sub-conscious mind, the instinctive-intellectual aspect. It consists of layers comprised of passing thoughts, images, perceptions, and emotions that bubble up in your inner world.
When you examine the contents of the manomaya kosha closely, you can often see patterns, which take the form of repetitive thoughts like "This isn't how things should be" or "I'm not good enough."
Self-Inquiry Exercise:
- Look at a situation in your life that is charged, or you feel you have not control over in some way.
- Write down your thoughts about this situation,
- Then, one by one, consider each thought and ask yourself, "What would I be without this thought?" Notice how your breathing, your energy, and your mental experience shift.
- Consciously replace each of these negative or unproductive thoughts with one that is empowering and real—such as "I am free to choose my attitudes" or "There is another way to see this,", "I am in control of my life", "I make my own decisions.", "I have the power to choose what is right for me."
