 Hello everybody kind of an impromptu episode this afternoon. Usually Tuesdays are just for the Magdalen manuscript And I was out running errands. I was not planning on doing filming it today I was just gonna prep for the next Sophia code installment for next week However, however, however, I have gotten a lot of emails from you guys about the doshas And so I thought I would do just a quick little video for you guys just again to help you since I do feel like that's part of my Responsibility To help you guys along along your path as I've said before I've been extremely Blessed in my life to be able to have some really amazing teachers I've had some pretty shitty teachers too, but part of those amazing teachers are the teachers that are associated with the ashranga practice as well as the opportunities that I've had in India to learn about this organic way of treating your own health and And I am so excited that you guys are interested in the doshas and learning more about the doshas because in my opinion I did my own experience learning about doshas and Following your doshas and working for your own doshas is going to change your life now one thing that I want to reiterate according to the Eastern philosophy of yoga of of Buddhism of Hinduism of all these different Eastern theories Once again, the body and the soul are two different things However, the body is the expression of the soul We call that the Shakti the soul is the Shiva and the Shakti is the body or as the sutra calls them Purusha in property Our lives our experiences in our body is our soul's way of learning itself So everything that happens to you in your life is already predetermined by your soul contract in order for you to learn and So one thing I was actually talking to Stephanie on the phone this morning about One thing we have to understand about the body before we get into the doshas system is everything within your body is in your control and So we look at a lot of these Western religions We look at a lot of the philosophies and medicine That is controlled by the controllers the nefarious groups They strip you of your right to self-heal or your right to be self-empowered What do I mean by that? Well religions in the West mainly Christianity Teaches you that you're nothing without Jesus Where Yahshua taught the opposite you're already whole you're already complete. You were born with the Holy Spirit We look at Western medicine. There's always something wrong, right? Like you've inherited some disease you're kind of a slave to your body You're a slave to the church. You're a slave to your body. We're in the east. They say no You're actually in control of your body Everything your body does every expression your body takes whether that is Arthritis whether that is being a fast runner whether that is being a swimmer whether that is, you know having diabetes Any of these expressions your body takes is your body's way of showing you Where your psyche is imbalanced the only way to fully heal all these diseases are these issues is to create balance So once again anything that's wrong with you well it nothing's wrong with you You're just wounded. It's it's not nothing's wrong with you, right? You're just wounded, but the Western world will tell you Oh It's not your fault. It's just bad luck. It's just your genetics blah blah blah We're in the east. It's like okay Now we got to fix it now. We see what's wrong. We got to fix it Okay, and the doshas is a great way to start with this now something interesting I was talking to Stephanie about this morning, but I also see as well And I just want to put this out here before we again get into the doshas at this time in our lives and Maybe it's the filtered Instagrams. Maybe it's All the social media all that kind of stuff. I don't know we have this perceived idea that we have to be perfect No one is perfect if you're in a human body right now you got shit to work on All right, I just I'm just going to put that out there if you had healed all your wounds you wouldn't be in a body right now so There's always going to be weakness that every single person is working through Now with that being said yes when you go into a yoga room or into a bar class or whatever You are going to see people in that room that that you see are stronger more flexible more athletic Chances are they've just been working on it longer than you have There's no difference between you and that person except time. I hope that makes sense now What I tend to see is that a beginner or somebody who might be a little bit insecure About their wounds about their weaknesses will come into a yoga room and will list off all of these things wrong with them to the Teacher as a way to explain their perceived inadequacies Right, so we will use this label of you know bad knees or arthritis or Whatever as an excuse for while why we're not perfect And so therefore it's more for us to comfort our own perceived inadequacies and so I wanted to put that out there. I Want to tell you you're not inadequate Yes, the teacher does need to know if you have arthritis because we need to understand what we're working with as far as Your imbalances the person next to you is going to have a different imbalance that the teacher is going to know and work with Okay, so we do need to know about that But I don't want you to put some label on yourself So that you feel better because you don't look like Susie Joe over there in the corner with her leg behind her head I hope that makes sense because you're not you're the same as Susie Joe with her leg behind her head Right, you're both working through your shit Susie Joe in the corner with her leg behind her head Might might have been doing this for longer than you But it doesn't mean she's healed It doesn't mean that her wounds aren't completely gone. It just means she's been digging into it for longer And so I want you guys to understand that I want everybody watching to stop using Any health issues as a reason to not do something and a way to validate why you're not going to do something I hope that makes sense the last time I spoke with our last episode with Stephanie and Emmy Every single human body has something going on with with it Yes, I'm fit Yes, I have a six pack. Yes, I can get my legs behind my head. Yes, I can do a handstand. Yes I can do drop back stand up. Yes, I can do all these things. I've been doing it for 16 years But on top of that I still struggle with arthritis. I do have herniated disc I do still do I have a problem with my blood flow. I lose my my feet will turn purple sometimes because my blood will get stuck That's something I deal with and I have to work with so just because you perceive somebody as as Having a pretty practice or strong or athletic does not discredit Everything they've worked through. They've just been working at this for a very long time And being a beginner being in that place of just now learning this is an incredible place to be because in the beginning there are many possibilities in The end there are only a few So if you are starting now, there are so many possibilities to be excited about There's so much of that to go through now. We also say That the beginner and the advanced student are the easiest students to teach Because both the beginner and the advanced student know that they know nothing It's the intermediate student. That's a hard one to teach because the intermediate student thinks they know everything All right, I also want to again reiterate If you're in your practice and you're feeling discomfort coming up in your body That's normal and that's supposed to happen Again, my teacher David Greek when he asked Guruji once Guruji is is This practice supposed to be painful and Guruji said yes pain is real And when we go through a heal the nervous system Your nervous system is reacting to your thoughts and your attachments from trauma That's happened to you whether in this life or a last life. It doesn't matter It's just the emotion we're working with and so of course your body is going to react to that emotion Your mind is going to react to that emotion the most important thing is you stick with it It doesn't mean that you don't modify, right? So if you have any issue if you have something flaring up for example tell your teacher you will modify You will still feel the discomfort coming up and you need to sit with that and breathe through it to get the nervous system to relax As you lead into the pain. I hope that makes sense True spirituality is not it's not rainbows and butterflies. It's just not it's darkness We need that we I was doing the reading for the manual and manuscript for next week and she talks about that Destruction is necessary. You can't have creation without destruction You know, we talked a lot about the yoga fever I've still on from time to time get the yoga fever and the yoga fever basically means that over time when you get Into a practice and you start working on yourself these old patterns these old thought patterns that are in you Engrained in you when they start to incinerate when they start to move and change the body will literally create a fever a low-grade Fever to burn it away. It's called tapas. It's heat. Agni fire This is very normal and so what will happen sometimes is you'll wake up or you'll go to bed You'll have like a low-grade fever and it'll pass after a day or two and you get back on your mat It's because your body is recalibrating We have to remove the old patterns in order to create new patterns now again the thoughts Your thoughts come into your body. The body is the minefield. It comes into your body and creates those patterns So that's why there has to be a physical Deconstruction of those patterns to create new patterns. I hope that makes sense Very common to be uncomfortable very common to get fevers. It is hard work coming into your own Great awakening within yourself is really hard work and again We have to descend into ourself before ascension can even begin All right So let's talk about the doshas because this is going to help start to inform you about your body's patterning now with the doshas You were born with the doshas that you will have for the rest of your life. All right It's like you're not going to change doshas. So your job is to try to find balance Now if you are someone who's tried doshas, there are a few people I know who are tried doshas usually try doshas people are the hardest because you already have all three doshas kind of yo-yoing And you have to kind of figure out where your imbalance lies But for most people you're gonna have two doshas. All right You're gonna have one you lead with which is your dominant doshas And that's usually the one that goes in balance the most and then you're gonna have your second doshas So if you go online and take these doshas quizzes most the time they'll give you like one doshas That's usually the doshas you lead with but you also need to know your second doshas too now to get the full diagnosis I do when I teach I do in my head diagnose my students for myself Because I've educated enough to like for my own self to kind of know that the reason why I do that is because that's gonna inform me As a teacher on how to work with them, right? So I'll give you an example. I'm gonna use myself as an example because I've gone through Are you made of keeling with the doshas? I follow the doshas diet. I'm a firm believer in the doshas So I am Vata pitta. So I leave I lead with the dosha of Vata So that means that I my dominant dosha in my disposition. I'm very dry Okay, so my skin's really dry. I've never had a problem with like oily skin My my intestines are really dry. I mean I get my elbows I have to put a lot of lotion on my elbows because I'm on my elbows so much in my practice They will actually start bleeding because my skin is so dry So I have to put a lot a lot of lotion on that also another thing with Vata's because your organs are dry that means that most of the time of Vata will struggle with things like constipation and so Vata's need to understand how that works now Because I lead with Vata also. I'm very skinny Vata's are very thin weighty people I'm probably a hundred ten pounds. I'm just a thin person It doesn't mean that Vata's can't gain weight when Vata's do gain weight They tend to not carry it well Kappa's carry weight really well Vata's don't okay. I'm very bony You can see how my bones jet out look at my wrist. My wrists are very very small Okay, like child size like I can put my arm my fingers around my wrist. Okay, that's Vata look how You know bony my hands are my foot for example so Women with who are Vata and then who are Vata tend to have like small ankles Yeah, so you can see my ankle like what they call it the kankle So the kankle is usually for Kappa's where they have more more looper can't more more meat Around their their joints. My knees are very very knobby. I'm very knobby needs Okay, that's very very Vata my ribs. You can see my ribs. You can see my hip bones very very Vata Okay for Vata's as far as like our eating goes So Vata's like myself tend to forget to eat and I'm better about that now But there have been times where I would have to have boyfriends like remind me like have you eaten today? And for Vata's even though we're the ones that forget to eat the most We're the ones who need to eat the most so for example When I feel hungry the first sign of hunger for me as a Vata is I start to zone out I start to lose like kind of my focus. Okay. I know now since I've studied the dosha That's my body telling me go eat something By the time my stomach is growling if I ignore that it's bad for a Vata. It's bad It's like my blood sugar has dropped. I need to desperately get something into my system. I'm probably not safe driving So for Vata's even though we don't we're not I've never known a Vata who's a foodie Let's just put it that way. Most Vata's are not really foodies We're the ones who need to eat the most and so Now at my age in my education. I do I eat like five times a day. I make little kind of snacky foods I don't you know five times a day Kappa's on the other hand the exact opposite of Vata's they are able to go real long hours without eating So Kappa's they they hold weight easier. They're a little bit more Grounded a little bit more like juicier joints Yeah, as far as the personality difference between a Vata and a Kappa Vata's like myself We tend to run off of our nervous system Vata is air. It's very cerebral Vata's are usually highly intelligent people, but we stress out a lot Right, you think about the air the moving up energy and so Kappa's are opposite. They're grounding water into earth. Yeah, and so Kappa's tend to be able to go a longer time without food They they kind of they can kind of settle into things do Vata's, you know, I will go 90 to nothing all day I'm not a napper. I just work work work work work. I go run errands I do all these things during the day because that's the Vata's energy Yeah, whereas Kappa's it takes a little bit more motivation to get them up and get them moving So with Vata's to so for me Food-wise so food is because because the body is energy food is also energy And so I've said this before in a healthy family every every person in that family should be eating a different meal at every single Meal because every person is going to have a different disposition So I'll give you an example. So Vata foods so foods that are also Vata are foods that grow on vines And dry foods so like lettuce Juices a lot of fruits or Vata Toast is Vata right because it's dry now as a Vata. I crave I want Vata foods, but if I eat Vata foods, it's gonna send me in a tailspin My anxiety is gonna be totally out of control. My arthritis is gonna flare up arthritis is also a Vata issue I'm gonna have massive stomach problems massive Okay, so I have to sometimes with the dosha Eating system you don't intuitively eat you don't eat what you crave Because are you Vata tells us like attracts like and so like for coppers coppers aren't gonna want the potatoes and the butter and And all the coppa heavy foods, but that's the last thing they need to So so growing up for me as a lot of pitta my parents are both pitta coppa So my mom Unknowingly because they didn't have this education They would make us my sister and I are both lots of pitta. My mom would make us a snack She would make us like apples and peanut butter like a healthy snack for your kid It's the worst thing for a vata to eat is apples raw apples and peanut butter I ended up in the second grade I started waking up every night projectile vomiting and my pediatrician sent me to a specialist because they couldn't figure out Why I was like literally vomiting all night Okay, well now we know the doctor couldn't figure out either But now now I know why because I was being fed lots of foods and my body was rejecting it because I had too much Vata right so like an apple a raw apple is one of the worst things that I could eat However, I can eat the apple if it's cooked like if it's an apple sauce. I just had some apple chips I can do it that way. Yeah There are some lots of foods that I can work with but there are lots of foods that I absolutely cannot eat like grapes I cannot eat grapes. I love grapes cannot eat them. My body just rejects. I cannot do it I can't digest it and so a lot of the digestion problems Vata's face is because they're eating too much Vata food So for a Vata for me to balance my Vata the foods that I have to eat are kappa foods So I have to look for earthy water foods like potatoes, you know, or sweet potatoes carrots Things that are in the earth and I have to cook them that'd be heavily cooked a lot of a lot of butter Which in India, they're not vegan. They're vegetarian. I'm vegan. So me, you know, real heavy Like for me French fries are awesome as a Vata I can eat a lot of French fries because that grounds me. Yeah, it grounds me But kappa is on the opposite the other end of the spectrum They need the Vata foods because they need to be pulled up. They need the juices and the salads, right? And so and so with that being said, I always say an apple a day does not keep the doctor away for every person Food is relative. It's relative, right? It depends on your dosha Now the third dosha is pitta, which is my second leading dosha. So pitas are fiery people Athletes are pitas. That's why I'm as partially why I'm athletic, right? That's why I take really fast to movement is because I'm pitta as well That's why I have good muscle tone, right is because that's the pitta coming out in me now pitas tend to Lose and drop weight very easily like they roll or coaster with their weight. That's something I don't do I pretty much stay skinny. So that's very Vata of me Pitta is if you have a pitta in balance, you need to stay away from like spicy foods, right? Spicy foods are very pitta fiery foods, right? You need more cooling foods, which would be more the Vata food if that makes sense now because pitta is my second dosha It doesn't go in balance and balanced that often The only problem with the pitta is that it can feed into my Vata Too much. What do I mean by that? So as a Vata, I Can have the propensity of over exercising of overdoing things and with the fire up the pitta Breathing into the Vata the air That's when I have to reign in that pitta if that makes sense But I'm just going to share a screen with you guys quickly and I will put some of these up on on this video as well so again The three doshas are Vata pitta kappa You can see here in this picture. They have a good a good analysis of what the different leading body type So if you lead with Vata, that's more like my body very long and very thin Pitta's are more like muscular and then Vata's are heavier now our kappa. Excuse me are heavier now even though I'm Vata pitta, I do have some kappa elements very little not enough to make me a try dosha The kappa elements I have are my hair. I have very thick hair That's very very kappa My dad has very thick hair. So does my sister my mother has very thin hair But on my dad still my dad's in his like mid 60s and he still has a head full of like really thick hair So that's very kappa. I also have some mucus issues with my nose. That's kappa as far as my personality trait I do tend to hold on to friends for a very long time That's a personality trait of a kappa to hold on to friends for a very very long time So those are really the only kappa elements that that I carry the rest is just Vata pitta If you take the yoga course that I'm going to be running with Emmy very soon We'll put the dates up soon We are going to go deeper into this and do some worksheets on this as well now So I hope Emmy doesn't mind me saying this but I don't think she does but like Emmy is Vata kappa She's Vata kappa So she has to work on igniting the pitta bringing fire into her right and Vata kappa's are some of the healthiest people Vata kappa's once they get into like an exercise program their bodies change immensely Now what I say with my students so if I have a student like me, that's Vata I know I can't stress that student out So I have to come towards that student a little bit softer than I would with a kappa with a kappa student I have to be really really really strong with a kappa student. I have to yell at them I have to get them up get that fire moving under their ass for the Vata. They've already got that So I have to pull it back as a teacher Okay, again, you you guys can look on your own. I highly suggest now for your own diagnosis Again, I know a lot of you guys are taking these online quizzes, which are good Some of them are good, but they're not going to give you the full story So what I would do if I were you especially we don't have an are you Vedic doctor around you? Are you Vedic doctor can give you a full diagnosis because they can take your pulse They'll look in your eyes. They'll look at your tongue There's other things that they can do. They're probably going to ask you about your sleeping So as a Vata, I have a very hard time sleeping. I'm not a sleeper I try to be a sleeper, but I'm not and I have crazy nightmares And so it's easy for me to get up because I just don't I just don't sleep Coppas can fall asleep whenever wherever. That's just how I always say in my next life I want to be copper. I'm so jealous of copas. Um, they're like pot heads without without the pot Like that's how they are. They're just really laid back Um Whatever type people they're they're it's easy for them to relax whereas for vatas. It's not so easy for us to to relax so so anyway, so um So yeah, if you can't find an are you Vedic doctor To talk you through this and really give you a diagnosis. I was diagnosed by an are you Vedic doctor in india I would suggest really researching this really get to know the dosha system again the three Vata pit to kappa. That's it and again. It's kappa It's not I hate to even say this word because the k a p h a in south africa is a really bad word It's the it's the n word and we have to remember that the ph because this is a sanskrit word It's not fuck You know in english the ph makes the fuss sound just like the th in english is the But in um sanskrit it's not that so it's kappa kappa dosha the kappa dosha So just research this the more you research and you learn about the three different doshas The more you're probably going to make a pretty accurate diagnosis of yourself Right just by looking at the body types and studying the personality types. Um, I also encourage people to Start journaling about your food. So if you Want to experiment with a dosha diet, but you're not sure what your dosha is Every time you eat something I want you to write down how you feel in about 30 minutes to an hour after you've had that food to eat Are you bloated? Do you feel tired or do you feel good? And do you have energy and you feel like you're stomachs digesting it? um reactions to food aren't just uh digestion related Of food if you're imbalanced and you're eating too much of of the energy you already carry it can show up as anxiety It can show up as depression. That's big with vatas That's one of the side effects if I eat too much vata food. I can go into a full-blown panic attack Okay, um, it doesn't mean so like for me. Like I know one of the foods. I absolutely really can't eat her grapes I can't eat them, but I'll I'll pay for it for a couple of days afterwards But I love watermelon and watermelon is is definitely a vata food But if I want to have some watermelon, especially in the summertime I just work around it like I plan it So for the day before I get the watermelon that whole day I'll just I'll just eat all cup of foods and then I'll have a little watermelon and you know It might spike my vata a little bit But if I learn how to manage it then I can manage it, right? It doesn't mean that you can't ever eat the these foods It just means you have to understand the energy That these foods provide and so you become the alchemist you become your own Doctor of say like of sorts, right? I know for me, even though I don't crave baked potatoes or baked Sweet potatoes That's one of the perfect foods for me as as a vata if I cook it and I make it very very heavy And very cooked That will make me feel good. I feel better After I eat it because I feel grounded my vata gets pulled back down a little bit Yeah, you know and and that's just that's just one of the benefits of following those should die You also start to understand yourself and your practice more I think I you guys heard me say like as a vata in the last episode with Emmy and stephanie. Yeah, people will say oh, you're skinny. You wouldn't understand because you don't have extra weight Well vatas have their own problems that we we tend to stretch into our ligaments in our in our tendons not in our joints Our muscles and so I have to be careful about that. I hyper extend. What does hyper extension look like? This is an incredibly incredible vata trait. So this is hyper extension. You see how my elbow is kind of Going this way for me that feels straight But I have to put a little bend in it to make it straight My knee does the same thing my knee hyper extend a hyper extend out So I have to make sure that I've constantly got a little bit of a bend in it to keep a straight line Yeah, because that's bad hyper extension is bad and that's a vata quality So I have to be very aware of that I have to be very aware of that in my practice in my life because that's vata In my I have the propensity to go there because that's my dosha. I lead with now again We have three different elements throughout our life. I think we've spoken about this before so when I was a child I was born vata pitta But like all children from the time you're born to puberty You're in your kappa stages. So kappa stage. So it's like you're cocooning You know, it's like it's why kids have like puppy fat, you know, a little baby fat baby chubby hands They're cocooning. That's why kids are really kind and sweet sometimes like whenever want to get along. They're cocooning Once we go through puberty For girls, that's when you start your period For boys, I don't know when your voice changes. I'm not a boy So we have a very defining marker for girls is when you start your period you enter into your pitta stage So from puberty until for women menopause for men, I don't know your midlife crisis I don't know that whole stage of life is your pitta stage So I'm in my pitta stage. Most of you watching right now are in your pitta stage. That's your fire stage So you think about that from from puberty to menopause for women, especially since I'm a woman that's how I'll address it You know, one of my r.u. vatic teachers said there's nothing scarier than a mom in a minivan You know, she's out there. She's getting her kids together She's building her nest, you know for men women too, but society, you know culturally mostly men are building their their income They're building their house. They're providing for their family. They're preparing their kids college fund. They're doing all that stuff, right? That's the pitta stage Then once you go into menopause or for men, I don't know what that is for you Your marker you go into your vata stage So the last part of our life is our vata stage We're cerebral. We're thinking more about spirituality. We're thinking more about the afterlife. We're retired We're starting to garden more, right? That's the vata time Now for me as a vata pitta what that means is that when I enter into the vata stage of life I already have arthritis So I'm going to have to be really careful at that stage of life If your pitta and your pitta goes unbalanced and you're in the pitta stage right now You're really going to have to watch out for that fire Kappa if you were born kappa And you were in kappa stage as a kid chances are you probably were the chubby kid in class Doesn't mean that you stayed the chubby kid But you were in that the kappa was meeting a kappa if that makes sense There's also different times of day from two o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the morning Which is brama morta which she spoke about that's also the vata time of day Six o'clock in the morning till um 10 o'clock in the morning is kappa time And so that's why it's easier for people to wake up before 6 a.m Then after 6 a.m Because between 6 and 10 the energy of the surrounding world and you is very kappa So you want to stay in the bed you don't want to get up right and then from 10 to 2 that's pitta time So that's why in some r uvatic schools They'll teach you that lunch should be your biggest meal Because that's when your stomach is really working and your fire is up and it can digest digest You're running you're running errands. You're at work. You're picking the kids up from school Makes sense and then 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 6 o'clock in the evening is again thoughts of time and then 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock once again in the evening is A kappa time and so that's why it's important in r uvata to go to bed before 10 p.m Because that's kappa time 10 o'clock p.m to 2 o'clock a.m Once again is pitta and so if you stay up after 10 o'clock You're gonna have a really hard time going to bed because energetically it's pitta And a lot of times you'll notice i'd a teacher point this out that when your kid gets sick Like say your kid gets sick and gets a stomach virus and like throws up at night It's probably going to be around midnight It's going to be in that window of pitta because that's when the fire is going to start to come up for your child Yeah So that's just some things to think about once again. Please please please just study this stuff find an r uvatic doctor If you can start looking at the different oils too like i know There's someone that keeps commenting on my thinking about everyone should be cooking with coconut oil Absolutely not Do not do that if you are vata like me Cooking with coconut oil is a death sentence for you coconuts are vata Don't do it. Don't use coconut oil if you're a vata instead use almond oil Okay, so even with cooking oils, all right I can smell when I go into a restaurant. I can smell it if i'm gonna if it's gonna hurt my stomach or not because I can Because I can smell the oil that they're using yeah So do not just follow We're not we're not cookie cutters of each other. We all have our own karma We all have our own disposition So you're going to have to find what works for you and again Understanding the doshas is going to put you in a beginning position to start to understand What your energy is telling you If you have a child and you're trying to feed your child Help the and your child you're giving your child like my mom gave me of apples and peanut butter They're complaining of a stomach ache or they're crying because they don't want it chances are they're probably vata And that they're telling you the truth that that's hurting their stomach and so maybe switch it up Maybe let them have french fries for a snack instead Because that because a french fries are believe it or not for a vata French fries are healthier than an apple for a vata Okay, so start working with your children too now Usually I don't like to see children diagnosed until they're in their 20s Are late teens because their body's changing so much that you can't Totally tell what they're going to be until they're out of their childhood But listen to them when they're saying something hurts their stomach Listen to them because they might not be your dosha Right, they might not be the same dosha as you and so the foods that you Can digest and eat the foods that make you feel good might not work for your kids And that's okay. They're not being rude. They're not being disrespectful They're telling you that something isn't working for them and it probably nine times out of ten It's probably their dosha. It's probably them feeling the energetic reaction to their dosha All right, people have asked about meat too now. Here's my perspective on meat. I am a vegetarian I have been since I was 14 years old. So for 24 years now. I've been a vegetarian. Um, I You know, I believe that everybody can go without meat. I do believe that I do think that The introduction of meat into our diet does come from the controllers Because I do believe that they are trying to get people hooked on blood basically However, I don't judge meat eaters at all at all Most of the guys I've dated have been meat eaters like I don't I don't judge meat eaters because and even in the law When they talk about this if you come from a culture Where eating meat is normal. There's the laws of forgiveness, right? You're not held accountable for that Now if you grew up in india or a place where 80 percent of the world is vegetarian, then you are held accountable for that because you grew up in a culture where that wasn't acceptable You know, I I do think everyone can go vegetarian Again, I would suggest if that's something you want to do working with a nutritionist or with an Ayurvedic doctor You might not want to go cold turkey. You might want to wing yourself off of of the meat If meat is something you absolutely think you need in your diet 100 percent There are some Ayurvedic doctors that will work with you with meat because different meat does again carry different Elements of vatapitta and kappa. I don't know what those are because again I I haven't that hasn't been something I've had to look into for a really long time 14 was the last time I had meat. So So, yeah, so that's something you would just talk to the Ayurvedic doctor about what what meat's going to be best for you with Your disposition. I could probably yes that if you're kappa, you're probably going to be eating more fish and chicken Not red meat or pork and then opposite for vatapitta, but I'm not 100 percent sure because again That's not something that I deal with in my in my daily life. So You will not die of protein deficiency that I could promise you You're good. There's more protein and beans and vegetables than there are in meat anyway So it's funny. I always hear that with people like how do you get your protein? And then you go to india like my teacher sure. He's in his 50s. He's never had meat. Never. It's just not done. So like That's just such such a cultural programming, right? But once again, I don't judge people I you know, I my whole family eats meat. So it's actually funny I have a butchery block some of you guys have probably seen it in some of my um Videos it's in the kitchen. It's a big piece of furniture. It's a really expensive piece of furniture And it was my grandmother was my mom's parents and I have all eight grandchildren Me the vegetarian is the one who inherited the butchery block. I think that's kind of comical. It's very karmic, isn't it? So um, it's just like basically a table now because I don't I don't eat meat. So so anyway, I hope that was kind of self-explanable Explanatory or you can kind of now take it into your own direction and self-teach yourself all these books. There's great books on areya veda Just look just read No amount of information you take in is ever going to hurt you right as long as you keep an open mind And you can critically think and pull through the information. So this is a pretty easy topic I feel like the more you get used to the dosha system It it becomes common sense. It really does it just becomes common sense And so and I think even Stephanie said that like this is such common sense You start to just really understand it and again, I'm going to reiterate again. Keep it food journal I'm vata pitta my friend shanti from aquarius rising africa. She is also vata pitta But we're different. There's something she can do is a vata that I can't do like she can fast I can't fast. I'm too vata. She's got more pitta in her than I do So even even if you're the same dosha as your friend, it's going to look a little bit different for you So keep that food journal start to study how you're reacting to food Even if you get depressed if you notice there's something you eat And you feel depressed afterwards even though your body might seem to be digesting it that depression and anxiety Is your body reacting to the food too? So keep a journal figure out what works for you.
