Sanskars

Mental impressions, the traits and tendencies of a soul caused by past experiences and behaviour patterns even from a past life or many past lives. Close to what people describe as a person’s nature but not quite, again part of the self that is passed down from birt to rebirth. Related to Karma as the effects of one's karmic reactions are left upon the soul.

Performing action in body-consciousness is said to leave deep impressions or sanskars upon the soul that will determine one's personality int he future, Undoing or erasing sanskars is said to be done by performing BK Raja Yoga. It is possible to make new sanskars, or personality traits, by changing one's consciousness and actions.
