In the 20s, the energy level is quite high among both men and women. It is the best time to channelize this energy into meaningful activities and self-development. This is also the time when people fall in love for the first time and it leaves a lasting impression on them depending on the success or failure of their relationship. While adulthood requires them to take some important decisions in life, there is always a chance of taking wrong decisions or being carried away by external situations or peer pressure. Love, heartbreak, insecurity about future, aspirations about career – all these factors can affect a person’s mental health and if not tackled well, can continue to haunt him/her for the entire life.

A Kosha is a layer or a sheath. One of the teachings of the Upanishads is that there are five sheaths surroundings the self, the individual Consciousness. In the Tantric viewpoint, these layers are not simply maya (illusion). They are, yet again, another form that Consciousness has taken to see itself in a different way. The koshas move from the gross physical plane to the most subtle plane, each layer with its own qualities. Physical: Annamaya Kosha Anna means food.
