Did you ever feel nervous in expectation of a big event, even though it was all properly planned? Or preoccupied, even after a sound night's sleep? That is because our mind is always working, thinking, evaluating, and responding.
This mentality is controlled by what we call the Manomaya Kosha, the sheath of existence that controls our mind, emotions, and feelings. And thus we can get thrilled, scared, focused, or confused.
Let us get to know what Manomaya Kosha is, why it is really very important while a child grows up, and how Mittsure's NCF inspried Jaadui Pitara can assist to develop a calm, concentrated, and emotionally healthy mind.
Manomaya Kosha is our mind body. While our physical body requires food and exercise, the mind body requires good thoughts, focus, and tranquility of emotions in order to maintain itself in a healthy condition.
When Manomaya Kosha is well, we are in a tranquil state, with a concentrated mind and full of self-confidence. But when it gets disturbed, we get agitated, uneasy, or mentally exhausted, yet our body remains perfectly healthy.
Let us go over the five koshas (states of being) again so that we become even more familiar with Manomaya Kosha:
Manomaya Kosha is the storage place of our thoughts, feelings, and ideas. It is a control system that is constantly getting input, how we respond to things, how we get along with others, and how we perceive the world.
Visualize a computer. Annamaya Kosha would be equated with the hardware (tangible machinery), and Manomaya Kosha is the software running it. If the software is compromised (stress, bad thoughts, or worry), then even better hardware will not perform as effectively.
Our mind can powerfully influence our body. Ever felt nervous no matter how confident you are, while waiting to sit for an exam? Or a headache due to a stressful day? That's the Manomaya Kosha at work on your body.
Healthy Manomaya Kosha is:
Improved concentration and attention – Children learn things at a rapid pace.
Equilibrium of emotions – Children can handle emotions in challenging situations.
Improved learning and memory – Peaceful mind learns.
Better relationships – Kids turn into empathetic, kind-hearted, and friendly individuals.
Kids need Manomaya Kosha in order to develop self-confidence, imagination, and positive thinking.
Just like how our body gets tired when over-stressed, similarly our mind gets cluttered and exhausted. The below are the common reasons that upset the Manomaya Kosha:
Excessive screen use – Gadget overuse over-stimulates the mind.
Neglect of emotions – Unattended emotions upset.
Aggressive setting – Quarrel, push, or ragging upset mental peace.
Inadequate sleeping – Short of normal sleep keeps the mind agitated and disturbed.
If children are undergoing these problems, they may:
Not be able to concentrate.
Keep getting irritated.
Get overwhelmed or tense.
Sound Manomaya Kosha is a result of a cultivated mind with positive thinking, consciousness, and emotional intelligence.
Mindfulness is as if placing the mind in the "pause" mode. Mindfulness calms kids, puts them on their feet, and alerts them to what they are thinking.
Breathing exercises – Basic breathing patterns such as box breathing or belly breathing quieten the mind.
Body scan meditation – Ask children to close their eyes, slowly concentrate on each part of the body, and release tension.
Mindful coloring or drawing – Drawing and coloring engage focus and tension release.
5-10 minutes of mindfulness per day calms an upset mind.
Children struggle to describe emotions such as anger, sadness, or fear. Guiding them through such emotions makes them emotionally strong and stable in their Manomaya Kosha.
Story time – Get the children to tell stories or role-play.
Emotion charts – Easy for children to recognize their feelings from the charts.
Journaling – Processes the feeling by writing down incidents on a daily basis.
Children become emotionally resilient and supported as they learn to communicate their feelings in a positive way.
Brain exercising, creativity leads people to think differently. Puzzle games, role-playing, and storytelling enhance imagination, memory, and concentration.
Puzzles and board games – Develop problem-solving skills.
Building blocks or LEGO – Make children patient and creative.
Group games – Play in groups to make children learn social skills and be assertive.
Creative play based learning makes children think, plan, and solve problems without losing their temper.
Emotional and mental health of a child has a direct contribution to learning, social adjustment, and self-concept.
The child who develops a well-developed Manomaya Kosha will stay calm under stress, will be more concentrated, and adjust to new situations.
The child who develops an underdeveloped Manomaya Kosha will be irritable, short-tempered, or won't be able to make friends.
That is why the mind has to be pampered with interesting activities, emotional care, and sensitivity from day one.
