The Doshas; the result of mother nature manifesting herself into reality

                                       Doshas | Ayurveda Dosha

The Doshas are three forces that all of us naturally have, however one typically dominates over the other two. The following universal elements represent each Dosha uniquely in mother nature: Vata (air & space), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth & water). It is important to balance these Doshas as it is a form of soul healing. Your mind, body, spirit, emotions, senses, health, and well-being are all affected on a daily basis. We must make a conscious effort to keep our doshas in a balanced state at all times. 

1. VATA

Vata aids in physical processes. According to Bodhi Yoga, "the Air element governs sensory and mental balance" (Bodhi 4). This force is particularly found in empty spaces and fine channels of the mind and body. Vata traits are light, dry, and cold

2. PITTA

Pitta aids in chemical and metabolic processes. According to Bodhi Yoga, "Pitta governs all aspects of light and warmth in the mind and body" (Bodhi 5). This force is present in the body as a fluid, specifically in an acidic form. Pitta traits are oily, hot, and moist

3. KAPHA

Kapha aids in physical and emotional support, substance, and consists of most of the bodily tissues.  Some of the positive emotional traits supported are love, compassion, patience, and forgiveness. According to Bodhi Yoga, "it is produced above as phlegm in the lungs and stomach" (Bodhi 6). Kapha traits are cold, heavy, and moist


How do I keep these Doshas in balance at all times? 

Practicing Pranayama regularly is extremely therapeutic for all three doshas. By controlling one's breath with movements between asanas or just being planted on the ground, one will experience balanced Doshas.

Incoming Solar Activity

Today was the peak day in a 10 day portal activation between August 22nd to August 31st. There is an increase in cosmic activity and several spots on the sun are lighting up. It is the beginning of a new solar cycle and this means inner work is coming up.  Whenever I begin to deal with my inner work, I discipline myself into something new. Recently, I have created and stuck with a morning ritual and evening ritual that has been serving me well. Every morning I will meditate, practice yoga, burn an incense, and just breathe. Sometimes, I earth and journal outside and make a goal of getting at least 20 minutes of sunshine daily. When our bodies receive sunlight for at least 20 minutes, it helps strengthen our immunity and helps our bodies fight off the bad viruses, bacteria, and amoeba.  This lunar cycle has been major for me because I felt heart chakra upgrades and the need to raise my vibration higher. I have this innate feeling of wanting to be and feel lighter, so I have com...

Transitioning from 3D to 5D consciousness

  TODAY I have decided to raise my vibration to be 3D -> 5D. What does that mean? 1. Being in the 3rd dimension is what we observe on the physical plane. Being GROUNDED protects us from psychic and energetic attacks. This happens when you are open in the 4th dimension (4D) and you do not have the highest intention for yourself, for those involved, or for anything else. To be grounded and protected in 3D, I like to play my C-12 root crystal sound bowl, practice Bodhi Yoga™, stretch, meditate, use essential oils, and practice cupping on my muscles to release. 2. You want to AVOID being in the 4th dimension because you are opening up yourself to ALL entities without the highest intention. If you have the highest intentions, then you can ascend to 5D (5th dimension). Recently, I had my own personal experience of a psychic attack and did not know what to do when I was in that situation. I observed being in my house like normal except there were things that were different. I could lit...

Dancing to Release Old Vibrational Energy & Raising Your Vibration

Today I did a deep energetic cleanse with my aura and practiced connecting with my spirit guides. I am halfway there to becoming capable of verbally communicating with my higher guides on an instantaneous basis in any given situation. Normally, I set the space by cleansing the energies with sage and palo santo. I then rearrange my belongings to keep the energies clear and not stagnant. There are several steps I personally take to get in the sacred space of connecting with my guides.  After meditating and practicing my trance states, I felt very inclined to dance and release old vibrational energies that were no longer serving me. I created a short playlist of songs that I used to love in my childhood. :)  It's so healthy for the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies to release in dance. Dancing instantly raises our vibration, so it's always best to find time to dance for a little bit.  Namaste
