The doshas: a superpower lens
"I can't believe I got so far in life without knowing this!"
- Me, after learning about the doshas.
Ayurveda is South Asia's indigenous medical system. The sister science to yoga, it offers holistic wisdom that is both exquisite and wildly practical.
The doshas are integral to the art and science of Auyrveda, which was developed alongside yoga by Black and brown people in India and the surrounding regions over thousands of years. The doshas are three elemental energies that present themselves in our minds and bodies, as well as throughout the natural world.
They include:
vata - air & ether
pitta - fire & water
kapha - water & earth
Even a basic understanding of the doshas can help you make simple, powerful changes that will bring more balance to your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health. That was certainly true for me.
Learning the language of the doshas is like acquiring a superpower for understanding your constitution.
Do you tend towards being anxious? Are you sometimes so driven that you court burnout? Or maybe you find it difficult to get motivated.
Guess what?! Those are all signs of your doshas being imbalanced. AND the art and science of Ayurveda can help!
