This is so helpful and was a nice little walk down memory lane to remember how each of kids behaved at playgrounds. You pack so much knowledge and wisdom into your stories. This was so easy to read and I’ll tuck these notes into my mind. Thank you!
Such a helpful guide, Barbara, thank you! I've studied Ayurveda for a while yet always learn something new. My deepest dive into Ayurveda came when I had horrible rosacea... that's when I realized I was Pitta/Vata with some seriously aggravated Pitta!😂 Went to an amazing Ayurvedic skin specialist in NYC -- Pratima Raichur -- who helped me a ton. There is so much wisdom in ancient healing ways, for all of us at any age.
Hi Mary! Thank you. Ayurveda is amazing. I know Pratima well! I lived within walking distance of her spa in NYC for years and worked with her personally. When I was having chronic pain I would go weekly for a (Vata) abhyanga. Was a huge part of my healing. Thx for reading! xo
My kiddo ( nephew) is Vata. No fat, anxious. I appreciate this post. I find myself always asking people " am I doing it right" in reference to raising him. Now I have a reference book to look to for some guidance. Xoxo ❤ thank you as always!!
I'm definitely Vata; I never keep still (except to study) but there is so much to do here on our land, growing organic food in this Mediterranean heat (34 degrees C today), but I definitely feel the cold in our reasonably mild winters, although I have lots of stamina and am athletic. Uhm... maybe a Vata/Pitta blend. Your writing has helped me understand my grown up children more; they are all Pittas! How interesting that these Doshas correlate with the 3 body types.
Thanks for sharing, Ingrid! I really feel like knowing our own constitution (plus our astrology!) as well as the people around us would make life so much easier! Especially with our children! :) I'm guessing your children are also in the Pitta time of life (that's another whole thing I should write about.) Thx for reading!
Thank you for sharing your nature based writings. Your insights always bring me joy and aha moments! I too am a nature based human and know every bush, tree and flower on our over an acre of land that my parents purchased in 1947. It is unceded Ramatush Ohlone land in CA, and hopefully will be returned to them at some point by my daughter and her husband who live here too. We are busy farm gardening with lots of fruit trees and berry bushes. I am greatful every day for the opportunity to be connected to the natural world. 🪺🌻🐞🙏🏼😁😘
Linda, that is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing and thank you for reading. Loving meeting so many people deeply connected with Nature here on Substack. 💚

Oh, I’m glad you found it, Amanda! Thx for reading. Now get to work figuring out your kids’ constitutions!

You're welcome, luv! My heart always goes out to the little Vatas who get diagnosed ADD/ADHD so often. He's lucky to have you in his life, Jamie! xoxo
