Hii Everyone !!!

Ojas :

• It is the ultimate essence of reproductive fluids and heat of the tissues.
• Located in the heart, pervades the entire body, giving stability and support. It is moist, of the nature of Soma, transparent, slightly red and yellow in color.

Astral body :

• According to Ayurveda  and occult science, it is composed of life force (Prana), emotions and thoughts. It is a subtle form or underlying energy pattern of physical body, from which the physical body is produced.
• There are channels (Nadis) in it, through which life force (Prana) and emotions flows. These are reflected in the Aura of the person.

Aura :

• It is the field of our positive vitality, the light emitted by Ojas.
• Pranayama, gems, mantra and meditation have most power to improve it.
• Dark gems protect it, warm gems energize it and nurturing gems feed it.
• Peace and silence of mind energize and consolidate it.

Insanity :

• According to Ayurveda, Insanity occurs when mental unrest is so severe that an individual is unable to function in physical reality.
• According to Ayurveda and Vedanta philosophy, most of us are caught in an underlying ignorance and false perception of life. Our whole ego is an illusion.

Possession :

• Our physical world is intimately linked with subtler world and there is a constant interplay of energies between them.
• Possession by gods-- Aggravates Vata element.
