🌿 Clean Living, Sattva & Joy
I trained with Zach (he has a Skool group @consiouswarriors which is amazing) in Raja Yoga. I've been thinking about being light and the work @Ann Tonie does and how its aligned with Yogi practice. In yogic teachings, cleanliness isn’t about being obsessive… it’s about energy. In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, we’re taught Saucha — purity or cleanliness — as one of the foundational personal practices. Because your outer world affects your inner world. Cluttered space = cluttered mind.Heavy food = heavy body.Chaotic environment = dysregulated nervous system. When we live in a way that cultivates Sattva (purity, harmony and lightness — described in the Bhagavad Gita), something shifts. You feel: ✨ Lighter ✨ Clearer ✨ Less reactive ✨ More grounded ✨ More joyful This is about clean living, not forcing but coming into moderation and balance. Sattvic living can be simple: - Fresh, nourishing food - Clean, decluttered spaces - Natural light and fresh air - Conscious media consumption - Kind, truthful speech - Daily moments of stillness - From a nervous system perspective, when our environment feels clean and ordered, our body feels safer. Safety allows access to calm, regulated states. And from that place, joy rises naturally. Clean living is creating conditions for clarity. When we remove what is heavy, stagnant or chaotic, we create space for light. And light energy feels like peace. 🌿✨ I’d love to know — what’s one small shift you can make this week to bring more sattva into your life?
