THE KOSHAS: Mental/Emotional & Wisdom Bodies

This week's practice is based on finding comfort in the physical body (anamaya kosha), ease in the breath (pranamaya kosha), and the ability to witness the mind and emotions (manomaya kosha) in order to get quiet enough to hear the wisdom that lies within (vijnanamaya kosha). These three mudras are based on Jnana Mudra which holds the index and thumb together to awaken your highest wisdom.
