“That which holds it all together”

Responsible for the body’s structure, lubricating the joints, moisturising the skin & maintaining immunity. The ‘glue’ that holds all of our cells together. It’s cohesive nature providing stability to the whole body.

Kapha folks tend towards stockier builds, with wide hips & shoulders, large deep eyes, smooth radiant skin & full, lustrous hair. Kapha types enjoy solid sleep and have stable appetites with regular digestion and are known to have strong stamina.

Blessed with a deep, stable faith & a calm, steady mind. Routine comes as part of Kapha’s life principle. Just like mother earth they are patient, grounded, stable & supportive. Full of love & compassion. They are loyal and always there when you need them the most.

What happens when things get a little too heated?

Pitta dosha - that sweet harmony between two opposing elements - fire & water.

It’s fluid quality renders its mobility. However the strong, excessive nature of Pitta can easily be pushed out of balance when we are exposed to excess heat or by consuming aggravating foods that are pungent, sour, spicy, deep fried or heavily processed. Stress is another big player when it comes to pushing us out of balance - especially when we don't get enough rest to balance it out & we try to power through with extra stimulants.

Some signs we need to balance out the excess Pitta within us:

- sour/bitter taste in the mouth
- reddish colouration in the skin
- heart-burn
- high blood pressure
- hot flushes
- anger
- frustration
- irritability

🔥 The highly driven individuals 🔥

Pitta - derived from the Sanskrit word “tap” meaning heat - represents the fire element in the body.
It is responsible for digesting everything that enters the body through all of our senses. Quite literally our metabolism - be that the enzymes and amino acids responsible for digesting our food to the neurotransmitters and neuropeptides responsible or our thinking processes.

When in balance Pitta types are well structured, great managers & concentrate well. They are highly driven individuals & tend to be strong leaders and successful in business. They have strong appetite for everything in life; food, drink, s*x & sleep and want to experience life at it’s fullest.

Generally have a medium frame & weight and tend towards an athletic build. With radiant yet sensitive skin which can often get irritated & burn in the sun easily.

What do Vata imbalances look like?

The mobile quality of Vata dosha can easily be pushed out of balance by excess movement such as travel (especially by plane), loud noises, continual stimulation, alcohol, drugs & an irregular eating pattern. The colder months & windy seasons can also contribute to excess Vata.

When pushed out of whack, Vata types are prone to:
- constipation
- feeling the cold due to poor circulation
- dry skin
- brittle hair
- bone & back problems
- anxiety
- fearfulness
- experience feelings of loneliness or depression

✨ The creative beings ✨

Vata represents the communication & movement within the body. It sits in the colon as well as the ears, bones, joints, skin & thighs. It’s function is responsible for the flow of our breath, our blood, the elimination of our waste & the direction of our thoughts.

When in balance Vata types are generous, kind, warm, enthusiastic & sensitive beings. They have strong intuition & an empathetic nature. They love change, and can be very impulsive wanting to experience as much as possible. One could say they move like the wind, and as a result can sometime find it hard to stay grounded.

Generally Vata's have a thin, lean frame and find it hard to gain weight. Although can sometimes lose it through excess worry & stress. Digestion can be sensitive. They also have dry skin, dry hair, cold hands and feet & tend to sleep lightly.

🌱 KNOWING YOUR NATURE 🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or in Ayurvedic terms - your individual constitution.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to Ayurveda, we are all born with our own unique, life-long constitution - known as our 'PRAKRITI.' 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's our Prakriti that governs our mental & physiological make-up and it determines the kind of person we grow to become. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However as we go through life, there are a number of factors that can impact our Prakriti , including: 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 our environment
🌸 our diet
🌸 our lifestyle
🌸 our stress level  
🌸 any emotions that we haven't processed
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These factors then take our Prakruti into a state of imbalance - known as our 'VIKRUTI.' It is our Vikruti that we want to focus on bringing back into balance.

Meditation helps us spend more time in a state of conscious rest. It allows us
to identify our truth. 🙏

Each time we sit and listen, we welcome recovery unfolding the layers of tension & disease throughout our body, starting with our mind and working right the way through our tissues and organs all the way down to our cells.

Ayurveda is said to be an eternal science that first existed in the universal consciousness (Brahma) before it was passed from the creator to the ancient Indian mystics through meditation.
