These descriptions remain relevant along with the more modern understanding that has emerged through Developmental Biology, Psychology and Cognitive Neurosciences. 1.Physical Development, or annamaya kosha and 2.pranamaya kosha understood together, includes bodily awareness and embodied learning through active engagement of all sensorial perceptions. 3.Emotional and spiritual development or the manomaya kosha involves becoming aware of and skilfully regulating our emotions.
