Our energy in summer is somewhat like the sprinkler in my garden this morning.
Summer energy is outwards and upwards, busy, social, dynamic.
Phew! Time to bring it in and reset.
Thinking about the circular nature of energy in our day to day life: inertia is supplanted by dynamism, dynamism and inertia together may bring about balance and clarity - then clarity and calm may devolve back into inertia via complacency….. and off we go again.
In the Yoga tradition this constantly evolving circle of energy is referred to as the three Gunas. Rajas is dynamic and moving, Tamas is stability and inertia, Sattva clarity and quiet abiding.
While we may aspire to the idea of wafting through life in a totally chilled Sattvic state and being an uber yogi, something has got to blink your eyelids, and from time to time you have to eat, digest and sleep…….those are the domains of Rajas and Tamas!
Your body and mind need to cycle through all three.
As with all things in the ‘Experiential Laboratory’ of Yoga, we begin with observation, awareness and discernment. From here choice will enable us to balance excesses by shifting which Guna we’re gonna dial up to rebalance ourselves.
Our focus this week is to calm the depleting outward spiral of dynamic summer energy by spiralling the focus inwards to our core, our breath, stability, balance, foundation, inertia - Tamas.
