Tag: Sattvic foods

According to ancient yogic and Ayurvedic tradition, food is categorized by its effect on the mind and body. The yogic diet emphasizes consuming pure, "sattvic" foods to promote clarity and peace, while actively avoiding stimulating ("rajasic") and dulling ("tamasic") foods.

Did you know the Bhagavad Gita identifies food as a key influence on the mind, classifying it into three qualities: sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic? Understanding which foods to consume is crucial to successfully engaging in a sadhana practice, which is why mindful eating is integral to the spiritual path.
