So as to sustain our natural wellbeing, and to stay clear of so many impending ailments, we need to be aware about the Diet and Lifestyle discrepancies which we come across every single day. But, at the same time, similar rules would not apply to every single individual. The Diet as well as Lifestyle may be customized in accordance to the Dosha dominance, which can be well identified and understood; and as Holistic Healing practitioner, the same may be ascertained according to patient feedback and observation.
In this apparent world we come across so many people with varied personalities. People differ not only in looks and body structure, but also in mental temperament, attitude, tastes, reactions, abilities et al. Yet we are all humans. We can easily notice this rather strange fact that even in a single family one family member is easily annoyed by slight stimulus and other individual remains completely un-bothered, one is frequently anxious with delayed digestion, while the other complains of hunger pangs all the while. One person is hard go-getter, while the other keeps the cool. One is a night person while the other finds it highly intricate simply eyeing the morning sun. The list goes on and on.
In my book ‘Healing through Ayurveda – Tips on Dosha Understanding and Self – Care’, I have referred to our ancient science of Ayurveda that has long back conceptualized the theory of our innate personality which marks our lifelong subsistence. Not only has this proficient knowledge helped us to categorize ourselves in relation to our innate foundation, but once we are clear on the subject, we can virtually understand our self better and eventually take care of our entity gaining lifelong physical as well as mental wellness. And this surely is the need of the times.
Although most of us today seem to have mixed personalities, there still is a dominant element in all of us. And this basic element governs our totality and makes up our indispensable personality. This basic element or Dosha as proclaimed in our primordial text, subsists in three prime forms viz. Vata or the air, Pitta or the fire and Kapha or the phlegm. Subsequently, the three distinct personalities I have named as TYPE – V, TYPE – P and TYPE – K personalities relate to these three elements of air, fire and phlegm. This books details about the three persona types that relates to the entire human existence. When the air is dominant, it is apt to make you erratic, whereas the fire type individuals would be naturally stimulated and yet supremacy of phlegm in the system reasons for physical and mental permanence. Thus, Dosha Healing is a sure support to make you identify, understand and take care of your natural wellness lifelong.
