So have you done your mind body quiz that we have available? If you haven't make sure you do that will really benefit you in understanding even more from this particular video where we are talking about the mind body type and first one that we are talking about is water. So, water is made up of two elements that we talk about an Aveda and they are space and air so space and air combined make water but Vata dosha is the technical word. And there is no English equivalent really of water of the word OSHA. So I will continue to use those OSHA. So what are those OSHA is made up of space and air and when we start thinking of what OSHA as you're in as part of your body type, I want you to think about the qualities of water are the qualities of space and air.

Now space, it is very subtle element, it doesn't have any weight and so is air is very light. And so, somebody who has got water dosha or which is made up of space and a then they will have very light body structure. And so, the bones are light and the look they even the look quite delicate, the hair straight The eyes are either sunken or protruding, the hair will be quite fine and the as the body structure is fine. And what are the principles of air, it doesn't move in the straight line it really can be anywhere so they may have curly hair, crooked teeth, deviated nasal septum these will be some of the Other physical features that we will look at and which will give us the indication that somebody has got water in the body type. Again, water is to do with space and Air and Air is about movement.

So the movement is one of the key things that that is something that we'll talk about when we talk about water. So, people who have a lot of data in their body type, they walk fast, they talk class, they learn things fast and maybe they forget things fast as well. You know, you will find people when they are walking they instead of walking they probably are almost running. This is because of water in their body type. So that is something about water. In the people water is related to the movement so and movement in the body is like we are breathing in and out that is movement happening.

There is a circulation That is movement happening, food going from from a mouth going through the body that is movement these are typical movements that are happening in the body. So what that is related to all of those. So, for example, that means people who have water they may find their hands and feet are cold. And now also start thinking about the these are the physical characteristics we talked about. Let's look at the mental emotional characteristics I all already spoke that they walk fast, they run faster, Think fast, they learn fast, they forget fast they can be they can be doing those things quite fast. Let us also look at what kind of other things that attributes that they would have.

They may have typically, like art and music, for example. They could be typically doing Those kinds of activities because where does music new music come from? out of nothing out of nothingness. So, what is involved in that, because our mind is just creating out of nowhere. So, that is water related activity or that is not the attribute. Let us also look at Vata in in the environment or outside of physical body.

If you look at plants, you may find some of the plants are quite delicate looking plants compared to We'll talk later about the Pitta and Kapha which are, which may show different characteristics, Vata in animals, I always think of jack wrestle because when I was learning, that's what I looked at and thought, oh my god, what about that dog always jumping not standing still. So, that is the characteristic Vata in the foods Think of about a lettuce you know, how spicy and airy is that So, that is what are in the food, the data complaints health issues typically will be where there is a movement happening. So, anxiety and stress for example, from from what we know from science is anxiety and stress there is movement in the neurons and So, typically water body types will have anxiety and stress as the key issues. Another issue for Vata is fear and in the emotional characteristic emotional health issues and then the other things will be dryness and coldness.

So, typically when water people have health issues or people somebody has got water, aggravation, then they will be having complaints about dryness and coldness. So it could be dry skin, dry lips, dry hair, so they may have dandruff issues or dryness in the colon will give them constipation and coldness will typically that there are their hands and feet they'll find typically are cold. So, these are some of the things that we are speaking today or we spoke today about understanding water, as as the dosha as it is in a body or is it is there in the environment.
