DOSHAS

VATA is the energy of movement. It is the force that propels us forward in action. It is a useful and necessary force when we need to get moving. It has qualities that can be seen in our skin, temperature, weather and seasons, in our minds and throughout the body in our circulatory and nervous systems. These qualities are DRY, COLD, ROUGH, MOBILE, CLEAR and LIGHT.

The VATA energy within a person may appear like following attributes: frame is slender, creative, energetic, fast talkin', fast walkin', always go-go-go, may be predominantly susceptible to being cold, have dry skin and thin hair, can be flighty, may suffer from constipation, premature graying, osteoporosis, eczema or psoriasis.

SEASONS

Autumn and Early Winter can be viewed as VATA seasons as the autumn brings busty winds and chilly weather. So too the later season of one's life can be classified as the VATA stage, from age 55-60 until death. This time of life often brings greying hair or loss of hair, dry brittle bones and skin and yet the last change in our human design.
