The ancient science of Ayurveda provides guidelines to help us identify our constitutional nature, enabling us to choose and live wisely on the earth. From the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—the seven body types are formed. Our body type, which is determined at birth by genetic and karmic memory, is our constitutional nature, or our prakriti. Once birth has made its elemental imprint, we cannot alter it to suit our needs. While we may be influenced positively or negatively by our culture, society, and environment, our basic nature at birth is established from the interlacing of the five cosmic elements. Being at the very core of our numinous nature, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are essentially the motion, dream, and ground of being.
