Dosha
Read any article on ayurveda and you are likely to see some mention of the three doshas, Vata, Pitta
and Kapha. What exactly are doshas and what do they have to do with our well-being?
According to ayurveda, the five fundamental elements that make up the universe--space (akasha), air
(vayu), fire (agni), water (apu) and earth (prithvi)--also make up the human physiology. How do these
elements work within us? Looking at the elements from the point of view of what they do in the
physiology, rather than what they are, ayurveda describes three biological humors or
psychophysiological energies called doshas. There are three doshas, called Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and
each is mainly a combination of two elements. Vata dosha is made up of space and air. Pitta dosha is a
combination of fire and water. Kapha dosha is made up of water and earth. Each of these doshas is
further divided into five sub-doshas. Together, the doshas orchestrate all the activities that occur within
us.

Last Month's Focus
Yoga And Sound
By Diane Mandle, Certified Sound Healer
Sound Healing is an effective and proven modality that uses vibrational sound to help reduce stress,
alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace, well being and better health. Sound has also
been shown to be a vital part of the healing process for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
and side effects especially for pain relief management.
During our waking state, the normal frequency of our brain waves is that of Beta. Sound tools entrain
the brain to move into the deeper Alpha and Theta brain wave frequencies. These are the
frequencies that induce deep meditative and peaceful states, clarity of mind and intuition. Modern
medicine can now measure and thus confirm the practice of sound as a means to promote healing.
(see sound healing questions answered for more info on this) Thus, sound is a type of energy
medicine that creates the sacred space in which people can heal from stress disorders, pain,
depression, the emotional roller coaster and more. .
