Awaken Prana Maya Kosha 1. Walk around the gallery.  Look for art or specific artworks that resonate with you.  When you determine which artwork this is, focus on its design, colors, and textures. Walk around the artwork, view the art from extremely close up, and then walk away and view the art from a farther distance.  Find a place in the room to close your eyes and visualize the artwork in your mind.  Reimagine the details, colors, and textures. 2.
