The 3 Gunas : elements present in all things ✨ T

The 3 Gunas : elements present in all things
✨ Tamas - inertia
✨ Rajas - activity
✨ Sattva - light

Instead of dark to light in a linear way, I reflect on them as a balance, a harmony; or as one of my teachers suggests-- a dial. “Can I turn the dial of this activity slightly more towards Sattvic”?

For example, in this action of writing this post:
Is it tamasic - dull and stubborn
Is it rajasic - full of running, unbridled energy (which for me is usually based on fear)
or
Is it sattvic - infused with truth, light and purity

a little on ✨Humility-- Compulsive thinking use

a little on ✨Humility--

Compulsive thinking used to plague me when I was younger. In my 30s and 40s, I would latch onto situations or people that weren’t going my way. I would struggle in my mind about why I couldn’t get what or who I wanted. Obsession would set in; I knew obsessive thinking was causing my suffering, but I couldn't stop it or just let it go.

I remember clearly one time when the obsession lifted and I felt quiet not only in my mind but quiet in my heart.

I read that Humility is a quiet heart.

Asana practiced in a steady way, without interruption, can teach us this quiet heart. Age certainly has also helped me. I am grateful for all of the teachers who have come before me and who have helped me personally. Without them I would not have learned to practice yoga.
