The energy sheath or the layer of life force which is technically called 'pran' is a very subtle layer. This kosha is responsible for all the movements and activities. Sun is the source of energy and therefore sun and the movements of sun has an effect upon the functions of this kosha. The energy of the sun is received in the plants during photosynthesis. This energy (pran) is stored in the seeds/grains. The energy is released and used by the humans when they eat and digest these grains. This kosha is subtler than Annamayakosha and holds the gross body and subtle body (consisting mind, intelligence and false ego) together. Pranmayakosha controls the food sheath. Its physical manifestation is breath. As long as this vital principle (breath) exists in the living organisms life continues. (Pran) life airs are spread all over in the atmosphere. This pran is the source of action. Unless there is pran in the body, it is dead matter.

The Annamayakosha through the senses comes in contact with the external world and the sense objects. However, only auspiciousness must enter the subtle body. The Pranmayakosha is the doorway hence it is very important rendevous of the gross and subtle body.

This kosha is the basis of all the systems in our body. 72000 nadis or astral tubes are running throughout the body. This mesh of nadis holds the gross body and the subtle body. This nadis are not nerves of the nervous system but are subtler than the subtlest of the five gross elements i.e ether.

This mental sheath is more powerful than Pranmayakosha and also controls the vital air and the food sheaths being inside the Pranmayakosha. For instance, when the mind is disturbed, the physiological functions (pranas) and the physical body are affected. But it is also governed by the two koshas superior to it. The Manomayakosha is purified by hearing spiritual knowledge. This kosha according to yogis can be kept in good discipline by ''Pratyahara''. Many modalities of treatment like aroma, music, color, work in this kosha.
