Manomaya Kosha: Processing Thoughts And Emotions

The manomaya kosha, the mental layer, is the psycho-emotional brain that perceives the cause of suffering or of joy with a never-ending cycle of seeking and disappointment. This is the seat of the mid-brain, the seat of emotional processing. We use the hand mudra,medha prana kriya to invoke mental vigor, recognizing thoughts as thoughts without concerns of those thoughts, allowing them to come and go, without placing value or judgment.
