What is Sattva?
‘Sattva’ is a Sankskrit word often translated as “purity.” It is a quality that combines goodness, light, wisdom, harmony, bliss, and balance. Another translation of Sattva is ‘the impulse to evolve, to go forward, to progress’. Sattva is said to be ‘the fruit of virtuous living’. We cultivate it by living in tune with nature and employing skillful means for self-awakening.
Our yoga practices, diet, lifestyle, work, natural therapies, relationships, and thinking can either move us into the flow of Sattva creating more health and happiness, or against the flow of Sattva causing more disease and suffering.
