Find Balance and Health with Yoga.

Have you heard of Gun as? No, they are not Disney characters! According to yoga, there are three basic qualities or energies that make it up: Raja, Tamra, and Sativa.

The king is the energy of action. Change and movement The king is the fuel of passion and fire. Raja energy is also related to daylight. Obviously, we need King Energy to successfully move the world and our lives. When we have too much energy, king We may seem very busy outside, go go go do it! Does this sound like you?

Maintaining a high King Energy level will lead to burnout! When the king is out of balance, The mind and body are overstimulated. The mind becomes restless And you have many uncontrollable thoughts.

King foods include spicy foods, fried foods, coffee / caffeinated beverages/stimulants/fish, eggs, chocolate, sour, acidic, dry, and highly salty foods. Eating in a hurry is king.

Dharma can be considered the opposite of Raja. Tamarac's energy is associated with states of inactivity and inertia, heaviness, and darkness. When the tames are unbalanced, their reasoning ability is clouded. And you may experience dark emotions like anger or greed. Just as there is more king energy during the day. Tamarac's energy was also present at night. People with a lot of Tamarac may be depressed or appear lethargic.

Examples of Tamarac dishes include meat, alcohol, tobacco, onions, fermented foods such as vinegar, or strong cheese. Stale or overcooked foods too much processed or chemically processed food Overeating is a Tamarac.

Sativa is an energy that is in harmony and balance. The mental and emotional state of happiness and intelligence is related to Sativa. A person who receives a great deal of satyric energy seems very happy. Satyric energy also corresponds to the state of healing and in Ayurveda (the sister science of yoga). Satyric energy is most present in the period between light and dark, in other words, dusk, and dawn. People who are on the yoga path focus on developing Sativa and therefore yoga techniques on loose and meditation are classics during these times.

Satyric foods include whole grains. Fresh fruits and vegetables pure juice Legumes, milk, butter, nuts, seeds, sprouts, honey, and herbal teas.

It is important to realize that we all have all three weapons within us. And while this is true, we always have exceptional weapons. From the description above, can you tell which one is yours? It is good to be aware of this. Because once you recognize your dominant weapon, you can predict how it will react to certain life situations. Including knowing your strengths and weaknesses, You will know when you will lose your balance and what to do to regain your balance.

You may have a period in your life when one weapon is more active than another. You may have a very busy and productive time (king), or a period of depression, or a time when we are balanced and in harmony with our spirit (satyric).

Another way that guns appear in our lives and affect us directly is through the food we eat. Think of the average American diet, with overly processed foods and chemicals that contain a large amount of Tamarac. Modern science now confirms that these foods are directly linked to major diseases like cancer, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As mentioned above, excessive Tamarac energy can cause illness. We also know that a complete diet, such as whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables (animal feed), supports life and provides health and energy.
