Following up from my post on mental health, I wanted to share a little bit on Ayurvedic Psychology.
Ayurvedic psychology is based on the three modes of nature, also known as the three ‘gunas’. Guna meaning mode.
Everything in this big wide world falls under these modes of material nature, and depending on which mode they fall under, they effect us differently.
The three modes are sattva (goodness), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance).
Depending on what we do, what we eat, who we interact with and what modes they are in, will determine if we ourselves are in the mode of goodness, passion, or ignorance.
So you can see, the three modes are not something to take lightly. If we allow the darkness to swallow us, we can become enveloped in it and lose our sense of self, it can be difficult to pull ourselves out of it.
The best way to avoid the lower modes of material nature is to practice sattva as much as possible — and it really isn’t that difficult, as sattvic activities are so beneficial and make us feel good, which is what we are all really looking for depending on whatever mode we are operating under.
There are foods that help increase our sattva, activities that promote sattva, and behaviours that are sattvic in nature.
The same goes for rajas and tamas — there are also foods that increase those, activities that promote it and behaviours that invite them too.
Over the next few days I will be posting in detail about the three modes, starting with my favourite — sattva, to give you more insight into how you can uplift yourself.
