Travelling through Koshas.
The magic of being human.
Dear human friend.
I sat all night. In the dark. Meditating. My heart was open. My attention was focused. Dear Gaia, my unspoken words in my mind would form. The fruits of this meditation belong to you. They belong to the creator of life and to anyone living on this world or in any Universe, for we are all one. I repeated my silent words many times with humility and gratitude for being able to witness the magic of being human.
According to Vedantic philosophy, we human beings consist of five layers, the Koshas. We imagine them to be around us like layers of an onion. And they allow us to go on an inward journey which leads from the outside of the body deep down into the very essence of who we are as well as on an outward journey from our very human shape into the Universe.
Annamaya Kosha.
I sat upright. Could feel my heartbeat and my breath filling my whole body with air. Could feel my sit bones touching the ground, connecting with mother earth. Could feel my skin which separated me from the Universe. Clearly.
