These shells, or forms, are called organic, power, psychic, mental, spiritual, causal and absence of form--or Formlessness. The goal of the USY is to achieve harmony and balance within each shell, between the shells, and between the human being and the outer world." -- Andrey's Website For more info about Andrey’s Work, go to http://www.yoga.com.ua..
