Navarasas are listed both in Hinduism and Buddhism, as creating an atmosphere of unrest in the mind. In this state, the mist of negative emotions, slows and confuses the mind. During meditative practices, the chemicals of peace and tranquility like serotonins and endorphins flow into the blood. Breathing, heart rate and pulse rate stabilize. The mind is able to function calmly and freely. An alert and relaxed attitude is required for the teamwork involved in building ideas and analyzing them. Self-awareness of your state of mind can help you get the most out of life and help others to do the same.
Each of the major rasas have a few stable sentiments and many passing, transient emotions. The permanent sentiments are pleasure, laughter, grief, anger, zeal, awe, disgust and surprise. All the major rasas will have elements of these feelings. In love, there will be the pleasure of union and the grief of parting. Many scholars add the nineth Rasa, Shantha rasa (or the rapture of peace).
The mutable sentiments are not present in all the rasas. A few are present in each of the rasas. They are like passing clouds and there are 33 of them. The Mutable Sentiments are: detachment, remorse, apprehension, envy, intoxication, fatigue, indolence, depression, anxiety, delusion, recollection, contentment, bashfulness, agility, joy, agitation, stupor, arrogance, dejection, eagerness, slumber, epilepsy, dream, awakening, indignation, dissimulation, violence, resolution, disorder, insanity, death, terror and deliberation.
