The Three Gunas

The three gunas are: Sattva, Tamas, and Rajas. They are the three dimensions with personalities.

Sattva is side to side, purity and equilibrium, and to liken it to aspects of observation, it is the observer.
Tamas is up and down, inertia and stillness, it is the object being observed.
Rajas is out and in, movement and activity, it is the act of observing.

The healing touch of Thai Partner Yoga Therapy (TPYT or Thai Massage) induces a sattvic state of being. TYPT brings the three gunas into balance through the practice of rajasic rubbing and rocking, tamasic pulling and pressing, combined with the sattvic sweeping and pranic healing.

If you have been overdoing it (too rajasic), TPYT will relax you. If you have been underdoing it (too tamasic), TPYT will stimulate you to achieve from a more optimistic frame of mind. If you have been just right (sattvic), TPYT will make you feel even better. ;)

Namaste.
