By now, you are seeing the Doshas all around you. These energies show up in so many ways that it becomes impossible to miss them!

In this episode, we'll discuss how the Doshas can be seen in the qualities of the Seasons of the Year.  With this awareness, we can make choices to stay healthy regardless of the weather! 

The Doshas have broad application. 

We've talked about how they may be seen in people and our environment, but their energies are also evident in the dynamic movement of time.  In this episode we explore the impact of the Dosha and the times of day.  

You will recognize the effect of the Dosha on your life and your habits.  

Kapha Dosha is the stable, predictable dosha that provides terrific support to everyone and everything it is involved with.  

In this episode we continue our conversation about the Three Doshas with an emphasis on Kapha Dosha. Since we now have met all the players, we talk about how they are alike and how they are different as well as how they may show up in our environment. 

The fundamental principles of Ayurveda, the Doshas, are too much to contain in a single podcast.  In this episode, we take a deeper look at Pitta Dosha- the energy of transformation.  

The foundational principle of Dosha builds on the pairs of opposites and the elements to give us another dimension to understand the energies at play around us and within us.  

Doshas.  This is often the one thing that people know when they learn about Ayurveda. If you've been following along with us up until this point, you will understand how we determine what dosas are present.  

In this episode, we introduce the concept of Doshas.  In addition, we focus on one of these Doshas, Vata Dosha.  

Wrapping up our look at the five elements, in this episode we discuss the elements of Air & Ether.  

Ether is a tricky one- it is the most subtle of the elements and, often, the hardest to fully identify.  

You may think while listening about people you know who exhibit the qualities of Air or Ether in their personalities.  

The five elements are foundational principles of Ayurvedic Theory.  

In this episode, we take a closer look at the elements of Water & Fire and how these may show up in your body and mind.  What do they look like when we have too much and what are signs of deficiency.  

With a closer look at the elements, we can have develop a more proactive approach to creating health and balance. 

Ayurveda identifies five basic building blocks of all matter. They are referred to as the five elements and they are earth, water, fire, air, and ether. 

In this episode, we discuss the elements in general and focus on the Earth element in particular.  

Continuing the discussion from the previous podcast, we take a closer look at these qualities in context.  The context of you~ Physically, Mentally, and Emotionally! 

We explore how to identify the qualities in yourself and how to bring these to balance through your dietary and lifestyle choices.  

Some people say there are two kinds of people in the world... those who say there are two kinds of people in the world and those who don't.  Well I am one of those categorizing people and Ayurveda seems to agree with me.  

A fundamental principle of Ayurvedic understanding of the world is often referred to as "pairs of opposites," though rather than being either/or it is more attuned to a spectrum from one extreme to the other.  Ayurveda identifies 10 potentials for matter and recognizes that matter in its natural state expresses these potentials.  It also recognizes that when we are in a balanced state, we can identify these qualities in ourselves. 

For example, all matter has a temperature that may range from cold to hot. It has a weight range from heavy to light, a moisture content from wet to dry, and a mobile aspect from stable/static to unstable/freely mobile.  

In this episode we explore four of these ten pairs of opposites in detail to gain an understanding of how the world can be better understood.
