Meditation from Vep
A guided meditation harmonizes the five sheaths and elements through focused awareness. Relax the entire body from head to toes. Direct all thoughts, feelings, and energy to the origin at the navel, allowing the five elements to harmonize from that point. The mantra resonates spontaneously from the navel to the heart, then upward. Inhale to the navel, feeling the body, prāṇa, mind, knowledge, and divine consciousness. Be aware of the five kośas—the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths—covering the true self. All five bodies are yours; observe and protect them. Feel the elements of space, fire, sound, air, and earth within the body. Be centered in the navel, the resonance point for all elements. Finally, fold hands in prayer for peace and wisdom.
"Be aware: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. These are all five covers over your ātmā."
"Feel your body, and through the body, all the elements: the endless space, the fire, nāda, the air. And the earth, our physical body."
