Often, I hear the question ... "What's my dosha?"
My short answer?
That's not the most important question.
Here's why
You are born with a special and unique doshic constitution. The tangible energies of each dosha run throughout and within you in specific combination. This combination is what makes each person unique: your doshas are in unique balance. Reducing the complexity of your constitution down a singular "dosha" would oversimplify the unique masterpiece that you are.
What is dosha and what does it mean?
Each dosha is part of Nature and exists within all matter. Each dosha is present in every plant, season, food, and YOU. All matter and every person has a unique combination of the doshas, which makes YOU incredibly unique—giving you unique experiences + unique places for finding and maintaining balance. Your constitution is infinitely more complex in comparison to one singular doshic idea or theory.
What's the solution?
Start by asking different questions! Try these ponderings instead:
How am I unique?
When do I feel balance?
What feels right for me?
What is working for me?
When do I feel most healthy?
