Dosha

So this is everything we need to know from an Ayurvedic perspective, from nature's perspective, on how to live a healthy, balanced fall season.

Fall season in Ayurveda is associated with the Vata Dosha.

And Vata Dosha, if you know Ayurveda, you know that it's the dosha of movement.

It governs change.

And there's more change in the fall than pretty much any other season.

It's funny and entertaining to me because I wish Colin Kaepernick had the same energy when everybody was trying to question him on his stance and position when this shit first happened.

Rest in peace, Doshas.

But I remember we had conversations and Doshas kept saying he doesn't have to define or say what it is that he's doing.

Why not? Why is it he can sit up here and not do any interviews, not do any press, not tell us what's going on and face questioning based on what it is he's trying to do? It's like when he first started the kneeling thing, it's like he dodged interviews.

He didn't want to do questions.

And then these five elements come together to form what are called doshas.

So the air and space elements come together to form vata dosha, which is responsible for all movement inside of our body and inside of the world.

And Then we have the pitta dosha, which is made up of fire with water.

And that is responsible for metabolism and all transformation of one state of matter to another, right? When you see a solid ice cube melt into water and then evaporate into air, it's a perfect example of fire being present.

It's recommended in the traditional Ayurveda texts to oil these three parts of yourself, the top of your head, like the crown of your head, your ears.

You can just do the outside of your ears, you know, and then the feet.

And these three areas are where the Vata Dosha lives.

And vata dosha is responsible for movement.

And I talk about the doshas.

Like, Eileen is really, if it's okay for me to say so, like your work increases Vata Dosha.

There's movement, there's talking, there's this energy giving.

You have to be creative.

Your preparation.

In the preparation phase, we are making sure what we discussed before, our Agni, our Doshas, I am not saying in an equilibrium or the best way, but still, it's like not over.

or like a not like a sarva dosha pragoma we say everything is different it's not in that phase and then you're deciding what is the best panch karma then you have a rejuvenation phase when a person is undergoing all this sotana ayurveda has that step-by-step procedure called seven dadus We have Rasa, Recta, Mamsa, Medha, Asthi.

There are seven rules.

I really appreciate the question, actually.

I would say for someone who has a tendency to be cold and dry and or melancholic, maybe even this could be helpful for people who have a tendency towards Vata Dosha, but let's stick with melancholic mostly here.

If you turn the heat up too much, your pores will open and you will sweat, which will make you net...

If you turn on the stove and you start to turn it up a notch, you're going to circulate heat and warmth throughout your body.
