Hypnotherapy-Healing the Physical-Self
We as an individual exist at different levels of ‘Being’, composite of which is
what we see, feel and are aware of as our ‘Self’. The ‘Self’, which for some may just
be the body or the physical self we are, or for some it may be the body and mind,
while some may contest of it being the sum total of our body, mind and emotions,
still there will be few who see it as the composite of body, mind, emotions and
awareness! The storey doesn’t end here as few contest that ‘Self’ is not limited to
the body, mind, emotions and awareness, but the manifestation of body, mind,
emotions, and awareness along with the ‘Soul’!

The most profound ancient Indian treatise on Yoga ‘Patanjali Yoga Sutra’,
describes the about the five ‘Koshas’ or ‘Sheaths/Layers’ of our existence namely :
1) Annamaya Kosha or the ‘Food/Physical Sheath’; (Physical)
2) Pranamaya Kosha or the ‘Prana/Energy/Breath Sheath’; (Etheric)
3) Manomaya Kosha or the ‘Mind/Emotions Sheath’; (Astral)
4) Vigyanmaya Kosha or the ‘Wisdom/Awareness Sheath’; (Mental) and
5) Anandamaya Kosha or the ‘Bliss/Awakeness Sheath. (Causal)

Thus we as an ‘Being’, are not just the body but a composite of our physical
body, the Prana/energy that moves within, the thoughts and emotions that flood us,
and the awareness that we carry along with the ‘Soul’ or ‘Atman’ or simply the
‘Light/Spark’ within! So when we talk about ‘Healing’ we essentially are talking
about healing at multiple levels.
