The Pranamaya Kosha is the layer of the aura that helps you feel vital, energetic and connected to all beings. One of five koshas, this kosha is also the space where you may connect to your ancestors, deceased loved ones and all life.

When this layer of the aura is healthy you are able to receive and witness deep joy that permeates the very air you breathe.
What Is Prana?
Prana is the life force or essence of life that exists in all things. When I first learnt about Prana, everything felt magical to me. I just saw the world in a whole new way.
I have always felt that every animate or inanimate thing was somehow alive or full of some essence that connected all things together like an invisible breath of love. That is what Prana is to me.
It is the essence of life in all things. It is also the essence that makes all things live. When you begin tapping into this essence you feel walls of separation fall. You begin to subtly understand that you are one with all and thus, you are never alone, never poor, never defeated.
If you want to improve your health, your memory, your focus or your joy you can increase Prana. There are so many ways to do this…
How To Increase Prana
- Exercise
- Breathe deeply
- Meditate

What Depletes Prana

The Pranamaya Kosha can be kept healthy by connecting to the life force through breath. Deep breathing everyday helps to keep this layer of the aura crystal clear. Eating foods that are organic and fresh helps to keep the life force vibrant. Engaging in activities that bring joy helps to keep you connected to all beings with love.
