To take advantage of these benefits, you first must understand one of the basic tenets of Ayurveda: your dosha, or mind-body type. There are three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha. Just as no two people have the same thumbprint, each person is a unique amalgam of all three doshas, though one or two doshas are usually dominant. "Finding your dominant dosha and embracing the appropriate lifestyle can have a profound effect on your health and well-being. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, when your doshas are in balance you will exhibit the positive traits associated with your dominant dosha and feel your best. when they''re out of whack, the negative characteristics emerge and you get sick or stress-out. Fortunately, once you have identified your dominant dosha, you can take steps to restore an imbalance - or, if you''re already in a state of physical and mental equilibrium, remain on an even keel. Basically, achieving balance means understanding and working with your natural tendencies: Flighty vatas need grounding; driven pittas need to practice moderation; slow-moving kaphas need stimulation. The changes that Ayurveda prescribes - whether it''s to your diet, exercise routine or sleep schedule - may initially seem frustrating, but they are well worth the health benefits, as Alison May, a kapha, can attest. It was difficult to stick to my workouts and eat my biggest meal in the middle of the day. But I feel so much better since I''ve made the changes that now I want to do them!
