2) Harmony Flashcards
What is C2 - Harmony in Sattva?
Aligning our lifestyles more closely with the rhythms of nature, tuning into and honouring our nature’s elements, qualities, and forces.
The world we live in closely mirrored our own selves. What happens when we seek to remove ourselves from our nature?
Because we’re indivisible, removing ourselves from nature - and our own nature (calling, purpose, dharma), we feel deeply sad, isolated, desperate.
We are nature. What determines our dis-wade and ill health?
Dis ease and ill health is simply the distance we fly from Mother Nature and her embracing, protecting, and healing principles.
Even one step removed is a step too far.
A naturally airier energy pervades after lunchtime, making us feel less attached to our work and purpose.
Mid-afternoon isn’t meant to be a time of sustained doing. What should be done instead?
This energy is makes the mind naturally flightier.
Good for brainstorming, some outdoor journaling, or simply meditating in a way that quells the overactive mind whilst encouraging creativity.
