Body Types Analysis in Traditional Ayurveda
Body type is your true make up or what you are. There are many methods to analyse body type. We are using dosha and elements here to understand your body type. Body type is also called the mind-body constitution.
The benefit of knowing your body type can be compared to the advantage of knowing the car you drive is a sports car or family car, or a truck or a bike. Once you know this, you will know how to apply the natural ability in life.
Every one is unique. Everyone has a unique proportion of elements and doshas. Knowing our body type is vital in engaging our energies appropriately, when we exercise our predominant energy in daily life, we will be healthy and fulfilled. This is the secret of personal sustainability.
Lets start with elements.
Every one is created with a unique proportion of universal energies such as Earth gravitational energy), Water (electro-magnetic energy), Fire (thermo-dynamic energy,), Air (kinetic energy) and Ether (Wisdom).
Based on the predominance of elements we get a unique body shape. Body type is always analysed based on the body shape when we are healthy or normal. Imbalance has nothing to do with our constitution at all. If our constitution is a gem, imbalance is the dirt (not in a negative sense, though. every disease bring some pain, hence the word dirt) on it. Usually what we experience (eg: pain, stress etc) are due to some form of 'imbalance'. When we are healthy we feel light, right, 'everything is OK' etc.
