Annamaya Kosha Your physical self

Welcome to our series on the koshas. The Koshas are the 5 layers of self, set one within the other from the physical body to the Bliss body. Today is all about Annamaya Kosha. Anna meaning food and maya meaning illusion. This is our physical body. The self that is made up of food.  


Most of us listening today identify ourselves by their physical body. I would guess that a majority of the people on this planet identify themselves first and foremost as their physical form and what it can do.  That’s our work IN today. We’re going to talk about our perception of our physical form, the annamaya kosha and how that perception can create calm or chaos in our stress response and overall health.
