Annamaya Kosha-The “Sheath Composed of Food” This “sheath” is the physical body. Rather than just addressing the physical body, yoga ascertains that there are indeed five bodies, five layers of self or being, that must be addressed for overall healing to take place. Yoga is a comprehensive holistic approach to health, happiness, and wellbeing. The Manomaya Kosha is more subtle and expansive than the Pranamaya Kosha. What you see outside the physical eyes, etc., are mere instruments. The Manomaya Kosha contains the organs of knowledge (Jnana Indriyas), viz., ear, skin, eye, tongue and nose. The Pranamaya Kosha is filled by the Manomaya Kosha. They are the same, they are a whole, but they are also distinct. In the same way, the koshas are all part of the same energy field, but at different vibrational levels. Light sources emit light at different frequencies and we see these different frequencies as different colours. These 5 levels / bodies are all part of the same continuous energy field.
