Foundations of the Ayurveda

The Transcendental Conscience is the source of perfect harmony and balance with the nature. The totality moving within itself creates a dynamic balance that is eternal continum of the life.

For the Ayurveda the characteristics characteristic of each person reveal their constitutional psychophysiological type (prakriti), that is to say, that includes as much mind as body; thus, when discovering the basic nature of our body-mind, we have taken the first step towards the perfect health which is to be understood to we ourself; when we include/understand what this happening in our interior no longer we let ourselves influence reason why the society believes that we would have to say, to do, to think or to feel.

The Ayurveda says that the point where the mind and the body are, the thought is transformed into matter; in that point are the three governing principles called doshas, people in charge of all the physical and mental activities of the body; a coordinated operation and the three balance of doshas sustains to the life and aid to maintain the health, its imbalance causes the decay in the body and the upheavals of the personality.

The three doshas are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha that are formed by their respective elements; Vata derives from the ether and the air, Pitta of the fire and water and Kapha of the Earth and the water. Although doshas regulates thousands of different functions in the system mind-body, fulfill three basic functions:

· Vata is responsible for the movement.

· Pitta is responsible for the digestion and metabolism.

· Kapha is responsible for the structure.
