Ayurveda, Panchakosha model and Manomaya Kosh: Its Relevance in Modern Mental Health Care
Journal of Psychosocial Well-being July 15, 2024 K. K. Bhardwaj, Pradeep Kumar
Ancient Indian traditions, particularly the concept of Manomaya Kosha from the Taittiriya Upanishad, describe a mental and emotional layer of human existence that encompasses thoughts, feelings, and mental processes. This sheath is considered a field of energy that plays a crucial role in overall mental health and emotional well-being. The text argues that integrating this indigenous framework into modern mental health systems could foster a more inclusive, compassionate, and effective paradigm for current and future care.
