sattva

[light, kindness, awareness]

There are three Aryuvedic gunas that exist in all beings of the world. The gunas determine the nature of all things, which is dependent on the ratio of all three. Of these are sattva, rajas, and tamas. Sattva embodies the soft, kind awareness, the pureness & connection of and to spirit, complete harmony. Rajas represents energy, passion, action, it attaches us to ego and drives our selfish desires. The third, tamas, possesses qualities of inertia, destruction, darkness leading to chaos and disconnects people from their spirit.

All of these energies embody the objective of our creation.

Life would cease to exist without the presence of all three. Their purpose is to create a bondage, through desire, which leads to attachments and in turn keeps them bound to the world. The present dynamic of the world suggests a greater proportion of rajas & tamas, though sattva is ever present in all things.

Nurture this guna within you.

If I pass out, let me be. I'm that girl. Almost every Sunday, I'm deciding what random detox/cleanse to go through that week aka torture myself. BUT THE TRUTH IS.... Most of us hear the words ‘fast’ or ‘cleanse’ and think, ‘just kill me instead.’ But I'm here to get a little graphic, a little scientif

Who We Are - the wild lily

The purpose of introducing myself and 'the wild lily', in this matter, is to make clear our mission and intentions. I want to explain what we’re moving for over here (and when I say we, it’s really just my dog and I…for now), the word ‘moving’ used explicitly because we intend to change and shape the way we treat ourselves, others and our environment. I’m sure you already have an idea that we’re earth lovers, all things green, all things good…it’s simple, we love. Some are bo
