Prakriti means "the constitution" that each one of us is made up of. Our Prakriti is defined at the time of our birth. We have our Body Constitution (Sharira Prakriti) and our Mind Constitution (Manas Prakriti) that are programmed in us at birth. If we can learn more about our Prakriti programming, we would make the best of our intrinsic nature and understand how to embrace life better. We would understand who we really are and how the environment around us impacts us. Yoga & Ayurveda life sciences explain the 3Doshas theory of Nature and Nurture impacts in all aspects of our lives.
According to 3Doshas theory, our three objectives should be:
Identify WHAT our constitution/prakriti is.
Understand HOW to align with our constitution/prakriti.
Comprehend WHY our constitution/prakriti is important to us.
Once we understand the What, the How, and the Why of this science, we are ready to fully embrace life. So, what does all this mean at the "3Doshas: Basics of Living" level?
Ayurveda explains how our body has three doshas, which are the three energies of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, that determine our primary body constitution. We need to identify our body constitution first, and once we do, we can understand how to take care of our body - such as how much we need to eat, sleep, exercise, etc. The answer is always different for each individual. Therefore, take the time to understand your body constitution by taking our 3Doshas Blueprint test, which helps us understand the first basic element of our constitution.
Next, Yoga explains how our mind and body are connected. Just like the body our mind has three doshas, which are the three energies of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, that determine our mind or thought constitution. Like our body, we need to identify our mind constitution, and once we do, we can understand how to take care of our mind or our thoughts. We can then observe the behaviors, patterns, and personality traits that we build us over time. We can then understand how to focus on our behaviors to achiever different results and how to react to different situations differently. Again, the answer is always different for each individual. So, take the time to understand your mind constitution by taking our 3Doshas Blueprint test, which helps us understand the second basic element of our constitution.
Once we understand our Prakriti or Constitution of the Body & Mind, we can then align our energies to achieve greater results in whatever we are trying to accomplish. Always be on the hunt to understand your Three Doshas, and the life sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda will liberate you. After all, liberation is the ultimate goal of life and Moksha is at the heart of it all.
