As per Ayurveda, there are three Gunas present in all beings: Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva. All three GUNAS are present in variant proportions in all beings and the balance of these three GUNAS is extremely important for better health and happiness. Human beings are the only creatures with the ability to alter the levels of GUNAS in the bodies. Let’s see what are the characteristics of these GUNAS: -

1. Sattva: - clear, calm, creative, positive

2. Rajas: - a dynamic force, movement, reaction

3. Tamas: - a kind of negative force to make things happen, dullness, darkness

To have great physical and mental health, we need to have a Sattvic Lifestyle. The word Sattvic means “pure essence” and Sattvic foods are known to promote physical strength, longevity, and mental health.

Let’s discuss some tips to include Sattvic habits in your lifestyle: -

LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SEASONS AND DAYS

Ensure that you live according to days and seasons. Make sure that you are getting 6-8 hours of sleep daily. According to Bhagwad Geeta, “There’s no possibility that someone will become Yogi if he eats too much or too less, or sleeps too much or too less.”

EAT FRESH, ORGANIC, AND VEGETARIAN

Yogic philosophy says that if the food eaten is pure then it brings inner peace to the body. So, make sure to eat food that is Vegetarian, Fresh, Local, and Organic.

STUDY SPIRITUAL AND INSPIRATIONAL TEXTS

To immerse yourself completely in positivity, study spiritual and inspirational texts as much as possible. You can also listen to podcasts and watch videos that offer you clarity and insight about life.

LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

Be aware of your emotions and feelings at every moment. Live in the present, and try not to dwell in the PAST or FUTURE. This will help you to stay calm and cultivate Sattva.

WAKE UP BEFORE THE SUN every day

In Yogic texts, early morning time is regarded as the Brahma Muhrat. If you wake up every day at this time, you will capture high vibrational life force energy.

MEDITATE EVERYDAY

A practice of silent meditating every day can have a profound effect on your body and mind. So, develop a habit of doing Meditation for 30 minutes every day.

Sattvic lifestyle not only helps in weight loss but also reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Sattvic lifestyle is also helpful for someone suffering from Psoriasis.
