Prototypes Women's Center: Koshas, Levels, and Consicousness: 4.23.12

Our first hour together was a discussion of levels of consciousness, and the second hour we offered some asana and breathing techniques to help drive the teachings deeper.

First hour:
Introduction with name and "one thing you like about recovery'. Discussion of the many levels of experience..from 'I feel better in the mornings to I feel more connected to God'.

There is the expression "that was deep". What does that mean?
There is an expression "he's shallow", or "at the surface it appears..." What does this mean?
Discussion of how these different levels actually feel. We located a deeper feeling within (and established a buy-in of the level theory)

Discussion of idea of levels
Discussion of koshas

Unpacking of manosmaya kosha and vjanamaya kosha, and huge cosmic forces.

Applied lessons to recovery work.
