Finding…. what?\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Sattva. One of the three Ayurvedic states of mind.\u00a0 Many you\u2019ve heard about them. Maybe you haven\u2019t. If you haven\u2019t, let\u2019s break it down simply ..<\/p>\n

There are 3.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sattva<\/strong><\/em>: The power of harmony, balance, light and intelligence; higher spiritual potential.\u2028\u00a0Positive mental and emotional states like joy and intelligence are associated with sattva.<\/li>\n
  2. Rajas<\/strong><\/em>: The power of energy, action, change and movement. Balanced rajas gets things done! Excess rajas leads to over stimulation and burn out.<\/li>\n
  3. Tamas<\/strong><\/em>: The power of darkness, inertia, form and materiality. Balanced rajas allows for grounding and relaxation. Excess tamas leads to cloudy reasoning, dark emotions (greed, anger, depression etc.), and\/or laziness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each of us has a combo of these 3 energies, one of which is dominant. Each of us is immersed in an environment comprised of these 3 energies. The balance between rajas and tamas is sattva, the peaceful middle ground. Finding a state of sattva will leave you feeling\u00a0 radiant, vibrant, calm, peaceful, grounded, and steady!<\/p>\n
