067 Rajas (3 Gunas)

from Yoga Matters Podcast

Thoughts? Questions? Feel free to get in touch - we'd love to hear from you :-)In this episode, we discuss Rajas, the second of the Gunas (the three fundamental qualities that, according to yoga philosophy, make up all of nature). Rajas is the quality of motion, drive, restlessness, passion and energy. If you ever find yourself rushing from one thing to the next, mind racing, unable to switch off, that's Rajas at work. We explore where Rajas sits in the Guna framework, how it shows up in everyday life, and how yoga invites us to work with its fire rather than burn out from it. Sattva (clarity and balance) will be discussed in next week's episode.Emma and Andy try to keep their podcasts light-hearted and unedited, wherever possible, allowing for a more natural conversation style and an authentic representation of their characters. They aim to provide information and entertainment by mixing their knowledge, research and personal experiences with debate and (occasional) opposing view points.  :-)If you would like more information about Emma and Andy or Learn Live Give and what they are trying to achieve, please go to www.learnlivegive.co.uk for more information. Also, please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or queries, thoughts or feedback on our podcasts. We'd love to hear from you.
