Mental Wellness includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. Ayurvedic methods of mental health (Manas Shastra) management focus on prevention, gentle intervention and do not stigmatize mental health. We all go through cycles of feeling lethargic, productive and restless, light, alert and blissful. Ayurveda enumerates three attributes of the mind to summarize these qualities: Tamas (heaviness), Rajas (activity and restlessness) and Sattva (pure, clear, happy quality of the mind). We need Tamas to rest and Rajas to act, but when they go out of balance, psychological issues like depression, loss of focus and extreme aggression result. Sattva endows us with good mental health, happiness, wisdom and the ability to do our 100%. To enhance mental health, you can follow practices to improve Sattva.
