					Well, maybe you are just as Vata as I am. Yes, a big part of me is Vata. Before I knew about Ayurveda’s Tri-Dosha Concept of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, I was just being me. The girl who likes to laugh a lot dislikes being fat, never scared of jumping heights and has some decent degree of creativity.</p>
<p>When I knew about Doshas, that is when I made more sense of myself. I understood myself better and it also brought awareness to how my body and mind operate as being me.</p>
<p>If you want to find out how much of a Vata you are, let us learn Vata Dosha a little deeper.</p>

					What is Vata Dosha?</p>
<p>According to Ayurveda, the body is sustained by three main fundamental elements. Which are Dosha, tissues (dhatu), and waste products (malas).</p>
<p>Dosha is a Sanskrit word that means “subtle elements” or it can also mean “subtle energy”. There are three doshas namely, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. All of the doshas have certain qualities that correspond to their elemental makeup.</p>
<p>And the quantity of each dosha varies inside the body. The dominant dosha determines your identity. All three have specific functions but they collectively sustain and maintain life process. </p>
<p>Vata dosha is made up of the elements Ether and Air. Ether is a concept of space where the air is that gaseous substance that can move in, out and around space.<br />
Among the two elements of Vata, air is the most dominant because of its ability to move. Thus, Vata dosha is also referred to as Vayu (Sanskrit word that literally means “air”).</p>
<p>Qualities of Vata Dosha</p>
<p>Air is the energy source of Vata Dosha. If we look at the qualities of air, we could describe it as, light or rough, mobile or calm and maybe clear. It can also be dry and cold.</p>
<p>And these subtle qualities of energy are very obvious in a person with Vata dominant dosha. These qualities can manifest in all aspect of a Vata person.</p>
<p>General Appearance</p>
<p>Vata people are generally light and tall. They have a thin body and thin hair. Their legs are long and skinny. They also have distinct facial features, the shape of their face is somewhat elongated with a pointed sharp chin and pointed nose.<br />
I remember when I was in grade school my auntie used to tell me I was too skinny that the wind might just blow me away.</p>
<p>A body dominated by Vata dosha is almost designed to fly.</p>
<p>The skin of a Vata dominated person is mostly dry. Its dryness adds to being light. This is one of the annoying bit of being a Vata the dry skin that most of the time cause you itchiness here and there. And not only that, because it is dry, it can wrinkle prematurely.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">
					Physiological Aspect</p>
<p>The bodily processes of a Vata person also have some distinct qualities unique to a Vata.<br />
The appetite of a Vata person is irregular. Their metabolism is quick, it’s even too quick that the body is not able to absorb it properly. And most of it goes straight to waste.</p>
<p>Because of Vata’s dryness, they are constipated most times. For women, the menstrual period is irregular.</p>
<p>When it comes to sexual drive Vatas have a frequent drive but they have a quick orgasm.</p>
<p>Psychological Aspect</p>
<p>Vata dosha is the most imaginative beings. They have a photographic memory. And are very creative. They are not the most intelligent but they are able to visualize their ideas in their head vividly. When they are calm and clear they are capable of creating beauty.</p>
<p>Emotional Aspect</p>
<p>However, Vata people are highly emotional. It doesn’t take so much for them to cry over something even just silly cheesy things.</p>
<p>Vata people like to express themselves through their own art and sometimes this could mean out of the ordinary or away from what the norm is. And when a Vata person is surrounded with a Pitta dominated crowd they often feel insecure about their own identity.</p>
<p>They are the ones that get anxious easily and panics. But the irony of being a Vata is that they may appear weak emotionally but deeply they are the most carefree.<br />
They may get anxious and panics but this is very superficial because deeply they don’t hold it in. This is why Vatas are never really stressed. They may look it but Nah…not really.

					<p>Functions of Vata Dosha</p>
<p>All the doshas have a role to play in our body. They all have functions to sustain and maintain a living organism.</p>
<p>For a Vata it controls movement. It keeps things moving. The movement of oxygen in and out of the body. The circulation of blood. It is responsible for the movement of digestion from the mouth and out from the anus. The communication between a thought process to an action.</p>
<p>Without Vata, the other two doshas cannot function.</p>
<p>So, if you would ask me Who is Vata Dosha?</p>
<p>Vata Dosha is that skinny friend of yours who is very unpredictable. She who cries when she sees a cute kitten who also happens to fart a lot. He who can wear a colorful rainbow with confidence. That colleague who makes everything look urgent but nothing is really done until that last minute. She who crossed continents traveling with a single backpack. He who cycled 80 miles (128.748 km) there and back in one day!</p>
<p>But above all that, Vata dosha is that one who constantly makes life interesting!
