Square 72: Inertia (Tamoguna) – Embracing Stillness, Rest, and Deep Acceptance

Square seventy-two of your extended Leela journey brings you to Tamoguna, meaning "inertia," "rest," or "stillness." As one of the universal qualities (Gunas), Tamoguna symbolizes the power of restful inactivity, rejuvenation, acceptance, and the deep wisdom found in moments of stillness.

What is Tamoguna?
