Gunas

Bodhi Yoga

Gunas the three qualities of nature.
Gunas: Rajas ,Tamas  and Sattva  are the three Gunas and have three different energies or vibrations.
 Rajas is high energy such as passion and attachments,cravings and looking for material things to fill us up emotionally. I think manic would describe rajasic energy.
Rajas: to pick a color for rajasic energy I think red or neon colors.

Tamas energy is opposite of rajas it would include low vitality such as tired, sluggish, greed, darkness and destruction.
Tamas: to pick a color black dark blue and dark purple because it is a Royal color used in times past to subjugate other people.

Sattva energy  is light, peaceful, joyful  and open to new things and thankful.
as we go through life we use and flow through all of these Gunas.
Recognizing the eb and flow  of these cycles of energy  can help us to be aware and ground ourselves and meet life's challenges with grace and ease.

 On the web sight of Yoga Journal I found a quote by  Richard Rosen: Tommasically grounded to the earth. Rajasically passionate about our work, and Sattvically reaching for our goals. which is the realization of our authentic self. I think that just about right.
To choose a color for Sattva energy I would choose the color of snow on a bright day at the top of a ski run when you are the first to break the snow. It sparkles with all the colors of the rainbow just ever so slightly.it seems to stretch out forever clean and crisp and magic.
