Importance Of Managing Tridoshas
Jun
- Vata is characterized by the mobile nature of Wind (Air) energy.
- Pitta embodies the transformative nature of Fire energy.
- And Kapha reflects the binding nature of Water energy.
- Vata governs Movement and Communication.
- Pitta oversees Digestion and Transformation.
- Kapha provides Cohesiveness, Structure, and Lubrication.
VATA
Vata embodies the energy of movement and is therefore often associated with wind (and the air element). Vata is linked to creativity and flexibility; it governs all movement the flow of the breath, the pulsation of the heart, all muscle contractions, tissue movements, cellular mobility and communication throughout the mind and the nervous system.
PITTA
Pitta represents the energy of transformation and is therefore closely aligned with the fire element. But in living organisms, pitta is largely liquid, which is why water is its secondary element. Pitta is neither mobile nor stable, but spreads—much as the warmth of a fire permeates its surroundings, or as water flows in the direction dictated by the terrain. Pitta is closely related to intelligence, understanding, and the digestion of foods, thoughts, emotions, and experiences; it governs nutrition and metabolism, body temperature, and the light of understanding.
KAPHA
Kapha lends structure, solidity, and cohesiveness to all things, and is therefore associated primarily with the earth and water elements. Kapha also embodies the watery energies of love and compassion. This dosha hydrates all cells and systems, lubricates the joints, moisturizes the skin, maintains immunity, and protects the tissues .With the elements, all three of the doshas can be found in everyone and everything ,but in different proportions. They combine to create different climates, different foods, different species ,and even different individuals within the same species.
