Are there certain seasons, foods or activities that aggravate your health or help you feel better?  Are they different than the people who are close to you?  This is because your body, mind and spirit is unique and has unique needs.

In this episode, I talk about the Ayurvedic concept of Prakriti, which is your unique constitutional blueprint determined at conception. 

I explain the importance of understanding Prakriti to maintain balance and well-being, drawing from my own experiences and a recent trip that offered me insights into rest and self-awareness. 

I discuss the challenges of identifying one's Prakriti and differentiate it from current imbalances, known as Vikriti. 

I offer practical steps for discovering Prakriti, including keeping a journal, talking to others and consulting knowledgeable individuals. These steps help us learn what brings us in and out of balance, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves through the lens of Ayurveda.

In this episode:

  • Understanding Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution
  • The Importance of Knowing Your Prakriti
  • Balancing Your Prakriti Through Life Stages
  • Practical Steps to Discover Your Prakriti
