The Gunas, a map for self-transformation
20 - 23 Jun $650 Book Here
In yoga there are several major maps of “everything” which can be used to explain fundamental qualities of our internal world and the exterior world around us.
The three gunas, or qualities, are at a deep level in one such map.
The gunas – sattwa, rajas and tamas – may be referred to respectively as light, activity and stillness, or harmony, movement and inertia. These qualities form a kind of substratum to the universe and are reflected in the world around us and in our inner nature. The three gunas encompass and transcend the mundane and go well beyond our normal thinking and understanding of ourselves. At an ordinary level the effects of the three gunas may be observed within us and also in the world. An observation of these three forces in life helps us to understand ourselves and our relationship with our surroundings. By understanding the three gunas we are better able to identify true harmony and make steps towards achieving it.
