AUTUMN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES OF THE YEAR……. TODAY IS OCTOBER 10, SIGNIFICANCE IS 10/10/22 PORTAL…. WE ARE ALSO IN VATA SEASON…. LET’S CHAT ABOUT AYURVEDA…

WHAT IS AYURVEDA? AYURVEDA is a 5,000-year-old healing system founded in India. The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit word ayur meaning life, veda meaning wisdom. This ancient system of healing is based of the five principal’s elements found in nature. The universe is made up of ether, air, fire, water and earth. As humans we are also made up of these five elements. Ayurveda has classified these areas as DOSHAS. There are three main Doshas, VATA, PITTA, & KAPHA. Each dosha has specific qualities lets go deeper into the meanings.

VATA DOSHA - Qualities are AIR & ETHER (SPACE)

PITTA DOSHA - Qualities are FIRE & WATER

KAPHA DOSHA - Qualities are EARTH & WATER

The best explanation explains why some people seem airier, (VATA) or more fiery (PITTA) or more earthy (KAPHA).

Each dosha is also connected to a season of the year, currently we are in VATA season. What does that mean? I have attached the Dosha quiz below. In essence you answer the questions based on first section on your teenage self. The second part answer based on your last three months, if something doesn’t resonate in this present moment, don’t get stuck just keep going. The questions will relate to how you feel and think, all of which greatly influence our daily lifestyle habits. Taking the dosha quiz will remind you of your natural tendency you were born with. It follows the body rhythms along with the cycles of nature. Your internal balance and beauty will be reflected on the outside of our physical body.

Our skin, our glow is all a reflection of what is happenning in our mind…which affects our body and how we function. Connecting the mind body and soul of our beings is consciously being aware or mindful of our choices. If I can give you a metaphor, a building or structure is solid based on its foundation. A house can appear well built, if the foundation has a crack, we would have to start from the ground up to repair. Lets apply this metaphor to your skin and health in general. Healthy skin doesn’t just appear, the aging process also doesn’t just appear. If the body is neglected, the affect will show in rapid aging, a lifestyle based on overindulgence, a diet high in sugar and carbohydrates, are known to increase hormones that raise blood sugar levels, causing excess fat putting stress on our body accelerating the aging process. What if we were very mindful of our diet, didn’t overindulge…what if our mind was always racing ahead, not in the present moment? Or we harbored negative thoughts or emotions, didn’t heal from childhood traumas? These issues would surface as disease, in our body’s temple.

BALANCE IS THE KEY in all areas of life, for many of us we operate on auto pilot…. since the pandemic many people have taken a more conscious approach to their habitual patterns that no longer serve us. I am very grateful, as I studied with Deepak Chopra, without knowing it at the time I was so drawn to these teachings…2013, it was actually my higher self-guiding me to learn this ancient wisdom. I used this system on myself to heal from past traumas, change my behavioral embedded beliefs that I was taught, that actually weren’t even true. Then when the pandemic happened, I had a aha moment…knowing that consciously the world was beginning to wake up, these teachings would be why I became an educator on Chopra Worldwide Network. This would be part of my dharma or life purpose to help the collective heal.

Happy Autumn to everyone, this maybe a perfect time for you if you feel called to this to take the dosha quiz below.
