What are the three gunas? What does sattva, tamas, and rajas mean? How do these three subtle essences determine and describe foods? Want more? Visit wildyogatribe.com/thegunas For a little preview... In yoga communities you might hear the words sattvic, tamasic, and rajasic tossed around and you might feel at a loss, not understanding or remembering what these terms mean. These three words root in the sanskrit words sattva, tamas, and rajas which are used in various contexts. Let’s go back to the basics: sattva, tamas, and rajas are the three main “gunas” or qualities that determine the nature of everything in the universe. Ayurvedic philosophy states that the gunas combine and interact to form everything—from energy to matter to consciousness. Simply put, sattva is goodness that engenders harmony, tamas is darkness that generally disturbs, and rajas is motion which stimulates and agitates. Let’s dig a little deeper into what sattva and sattvic, tamas and tamasic, and rajas and rajasic mean, and discuss how they pertain to diet and food.
