What Are The Ten Bodies?
These 10 Bodies are your God-given powerful capacities as a human being. They allow you to be joyfully creative, obedient to your higher consciousness, and to see Spirit in everyone. They let you evaluate the input of your mind to reach a compassionate, neutral place, and they enable you to create sacredness, and to live in balance. Awareness of the Ten Bodies lets you live life as a radiant, self-initiated, limitless Being.
Each body has specific gifts that it gives you when it is strong, and certain deficits that will surface when it is weak. The thing to remember is this: you can always strengthen any of your bodies. Once you become aware of the weakness in yourself, identify which body it corresponds to and commit to the yogic practice that strengthens that body. It is very simple and direct. The Yogic Practices we will recommend throughout this site will bring you many suggestions as to what you can do to balance and strengthen each body.
