Here is to look deeper into mental wellbeing, beyond a talk point, beyond band aiding. In Yoga & ayurveda mind is identified as Manomaya kosha. It is one of the 5 layers of every human being. It is identified as the ground of all pain, unhappiness, sufferings, obstacles, diseases & their myriad manifestations. Samkhya philosophy identifies mind as the sixth sense organ.
