You Extended
The Koshas Take You To Another Level :
By Felica M. Tomasko
When we think of our bodies, our first thoughts naturally travel to our physical self, what we can see and feel and touch. But according to yoga philosophy dating back to the ancient written scriptures, we are much more than our physical bodies. We are comprised of at least five distinct layers, called koshas. |

Ancient Energy Systems
Meridians, Marmas and Nadis:
By Robert Sachs
The nature of our energetic body is well defined and described in two of the oldest medical systems in use in the world today. Thousands of years ago, Chinese Medicine and the Indian system of Ayurveda elucidated two of the most widely used and respected systems of the energetic or subtle body; these are the meridians of Chinese medicine and the marmas and nadis of Ayurveda. |

Energy Equals Elements:
By Robert Sachs
The Eastern systems of Chinese medicine and Ayurveda share an understanding that the universe, along with our bodies, is comprised of five elements.

Essentially, these elements represent the manifestation of a polarity (in Chinese, Yin and Yang) as expressed in expanding and contracting archetypal energies that are constantly in motion or a state of flux. |

The Beauty of Ojai. Krishnamurti: 3rd Public Talk,
May 18, 1985.
When you see those hills behind there and the blue sky and the line of those mountains against the sky, and see some of the shadows on the sunburned grass and the shady trees, when you look at it, not verbalize it immediately but when you look at it, or see a great mountain full of snow, high peak, and a sky that has never been polluted – when you see the majesty of a mountain, what takes place? Does the majesty of that mountain, the enormous solidity of it, the greatness of it, what happens at that second you see that mountain or that hill and those shadows or this dappled light under these trees? For a second, the greatness of the mountain drives away all our pettiness, all our worries and problems and all the travail of life, for that second. Then you become silent and look. Right?
