The Signature Framework
The 7 Layers of
Mental Liberation
A Vedic framework for inner freedom. 5,000 years of wisdom, mapped to the exact patterns that keep modern minds imprisoned.
Each Layer Explored
The Map in Full
The Reactive Mind
Manas — The Sensory Prison
The Imprisonment
Anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity. This is the layer where most people live permanently — reacting to every stimulus, every thought, every emotion as if it were an emergency.
The Liberation → Witness Consciousness
The practice of Sakshi Bhava — the Witness. Learning to observe your mind rather than be your mind. This is the first key, and it changes everything.
The Ego Cage
Ahamkara — The Identity Prison
The Imprisonment
Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and fear of judgment. The ego constructs a false identity and then spends enormous energy defending it.
The Liberation → Authentic Self
Distinguishing between the constructed self (ego) and the witnessing self (Atman). When you know who you truly are, the cage dissolves.
The Memory Labyrinth
Citta — The Conditioning Prison
The Imprisonment
Repeating patterns, trauma loops, and self-sabotage. The subconscious mind stores every experience and runs programmes from the past — often without your awareness.
The Liberation → Present Awareness
Citta Shuddhi — the purification of stored impressions. Specific practices that clear old conditioning and restore present-moment awareness.
The Distorted Lens
Buddhi — The Perception Prison
The Imprisonment
Negative self-talk, scarcity mindset, and catastrophising. When the intellect is clouded, it distorts reality — creating suffering from situations that need not cause any.
The Liberation → Clear Discernment
Viveka — discernment. Training the intellect to distinguish between what is real and what is a mental projection. Clear seeing leads to clear action.
The Suppressed Self
Pranamaya — The Vitality Prison
The Imprisonment
Burnout, lack of purpose, and feeling dead inside. When life force (Prana) is blocked by suppression, the result is chronic fatigue, numbness, and disconnection.
The Liberation → Vital Aliveness
Pranayama and somatic practices that restore the flow of life force. When Prana flows freely, aliveness returns naturally.
The Wisdom Threshold
Vijnanamaya — The Clarity Gateway
The Imprisonment
Spiritual seeking, awakening confusion, and integration challenges. This layer is the transition point — where seekers often get stuck between the old self and the new.
The Liberation → Embodied Wisdom
Jnana Yoga — the integration of wisdom into lived experience. Knowledge becomes embodied, not just intellectual.
The Sovereign Self
Ātman / Anandamaya — Liberation (Moksha)
The Imprisonment
This is not a layer of imprisonment — it is the destination. The Sovereign Self is what you are when all layers have been seen through.
The Liberation → True Freedom
Moksha — liberation. Not a future state to achieve, but the recognition of what has always been true. You were never truly imprisoned. The prison was always a construction of the mind.
