The Five Koshas

If you invited yogic philosophy over for a potluck, it would bring gluten-free crackers and a forty-layer vegan dip. Every layer of that dip would have its own novel’s worth of depth, each with unique layers of spices and textures. Seriously, yogic philosophy loves layers! We’ve already discussed the mind, the intellect, and the ego. These layers allow us to perceive reality and create our personal experiences, but that’s where they stop. They don’t make us who we are.

We’re made of different layers, also referred to koshas. Again, the exact terms and number of layers differ between different schools of thought, but the concept is the same: we’re like onions. The various yogic systems usually say we have five or seven layers, although the five-layer system seems to be all the rage. This system says that we are not our skin or cells. We are not our brains or our thoughts. Although those are part of us, who we truly are is underneath all those things. These onions have sweet nougat-y centers!
