The Vata Mind

Hello, dreamer.

Are you a creative, artistic free spirit? Perhaps you are more sensitive than others around you, and you have a tendency towards anxiety, overwhelm, or even self-doubt?

Maybe you are fascinated by SO many different things in life that you tend to lose your focus, or have trouble committing to a career path?

If so, you may have a Vata mind.

In Ayurveda, Vata dosha is ruled by the air and ether elements: the lightest and most mobile of all the elements. These qualities manifest mentally in both positive and negative ways.

in balance vata is:

• Creative

• Adaptable

• Fun and playful

• Airy and light-hearted

• Spiritual, spontaneous and exploratory

• Quick to understand and learn new things

  Healthy Vatas are the dreamers of the doshas, and may love to dance, prance, or climb high up a tree!

Out of balance, vata can experience:

• Anxiety

• Rapid moving thought

• Spaciness

• Trouble focusing

• Worry or overwhelm

• Feeling of isolation or fear

• Inability to commit or follow-through or plan

• Insomnia: waking in the middle of the night, with trouble falling back to sleep

life events and behaviors that can throw vata out of balance include:

• Times of great transition: big changes in your job, relationship, family, or living situation. Anything that rocks the boat really shakes up Vata!

• Weather that is cold, dry, or windy

• Irregular sleep schedule or staying up too late

• Irregular meal times, or missing meals

• Excess worry, fear, or isolation

natural strategies to restore balance for vata include:

• Grounding, nourishing, and warming the body

• Hydrating and moistening the body’s tissues

• Relaxing, slowing down, focusing on one task or project at a time, and anchoring the mind to the present moment

Living in alignment with your dosha is like unlocking your unique health code.
