According to the yoga tradition, there are five distinctive levels to the human system. Here is how those 5 levels (or 5 bodies) are described in a yoga classic called The Taittiriya Upanishad:
"Human being consist of a material body build from the food they eat. Those who care for this body are nourished by the universe itself"
"Inside there is another body made of life energy. It fills the physical body and takes it's shape. Those who treat this vital force as divine experience excellent health and longevity because this energy is the source of physical life"
"Within the vital force is yet another body, this one made of thought energy. Those who understand and control the mental body are no longer afflicted by fear."

"Deeper still lies another body comprised of intellect. Those who establish their awareness here free themselves from unhealthy thoughts and actions, and develop self-control necessary to achieve their goals."
"Hidden inside is yet a subtler body, composed of pure joy. It is experienced as happiness, delight and bliss."
