Understanding The Mind
Learn about the three Ayurvedic states of mind:
Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.
The Three Mind Types
Everyone has a predominant mind type that shapes their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It's important to understand that the mind type is not static. It fluctuates between three primary states: Sattva (peaceful), Rajas (passionate), and Tamas (passive). These fluctuations are natural and influenced by various factors such as environment, food, lifestyle, relationships, career, and experiences.
Sattva - Peaceful
Sattvic mind types tend towards being peaceful, pure, and decisive. They are simple, harmonious, and compassionate.
Rajas - Passionate
Rajasic mind types tend towards passion, impatience and pride. They are energetic, talkative and full of ideas and big plans.
Tamas - Passive
Tamasic mind types tend towards lethargy, confusion and indecisiveness. They are slow, and like to accumulate things.
Know Your Mind, Know Your Power
