Have you heard of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas? These are the Mano Guna, the qualities of the mind.
Sattva Guna is considered the optimal state of mind - one of clarity, positivity, clarity, light and spiritually minded. Sattvic food and lifestyle help bring balance to our bodies and mind.
Rajas is the active quality of the mind, focused often on passion and driven by achievement and excessive movement. Have you noticed how quick moving your mind becomes after a cup of coffee This is an example of the Rajasic guna of our mind.
Tamas Guna is related to inertia, a sense of heaviness and lethargic thought processes and behavior.
We recommend following a daily routine, lifestyle habits, diet and herbal recommendations in Ayurveda to encourage optimal levels of a Sattvic nature. Keep in mind that all three gunas are necessary for our experience, however Sattva nature is our aim. We can do so by limiting simulating food and beverages, practicing meditation and yoga.
