Ayurveda is a form of ancient Indian medicine. It strongly contrasts with western medicine as it focuses on the individual. Thus for mental illnesses, depression is contextual based on the person. There are no "cure-alls" in Ayurveda as treatment depends on the person. Dr. K explains what Ayurveda is and what gunas are.

This makes sooo much sense!!! I am a kapha + INFP and I struggle with self-esteem issues cuz I never understood how I'm different from others and other types around me made me feel and think as if I was wrong or stupid or I'm slow to react in a negative situation or I don't really care if someone was rude and I thought I was stupid or have less emotional intelligence cuz I didn't react at the moment to this toxic person while I actually don't really care about them why should I notice and respond to every little insult or toxicity?! I never and understood that and thought I was stupid and that I didn't have enough skills to respond or maybe even notice that, but hearing that Kapha can take and tolerate negative emotions more than others made so much sense now. And as Lily said you really make us look awesome and because you explain things very well I actually believe that I'm awesome not that you just make us look awesome. Thank you for doing what you are doing and for free. I want to take sessions but I can't afford that at the moment, but until then I'll keep watching your videos and learn.

I started learning about all of this stuff because at the end of an extensive years long delve into philosophy, psychology, and sociology, I came to one question: *"What if in a utopian society, where all barriers between humans were torn down systematically through the use of proper education, therapy, and legislation, there were psychological schisms inherent in the human condition that could not ever with any amount of external intervention be changed or bridged?"* First, I landed on Carl Jung, then MBTI, then Temperment Theory, then Enneagram, then Spiral Dynamics, and finally full circle to Buddhism and Hinduism. I find these topics fascinating and enlightening.

I still struggle to understand myself because it looks like I’m a Pitta as well as a Vata (almost equal amounts). While Kapha in other aspect like in Friendships as well. But now I finally understand why when I only have 1-2 things to do it’s hard for me to motivate myself to what I have to do. But when I have at least 3-5 on my plate I feel balanced and competent even more focused. Guess I’ll have to read those papers Dr. K had shared in chat to hopefully understand more and deep dive. Randomly, diet-wise being a Pitta-Vata is so weird cause their kind opposite of each other 😂

[@nemoteric]

The translation of the doshas into modern parlance using gamer terminology is so awesome. Such a good way to remember. I’m probably trying too hard to find a 1:1 mapping to tank, healer, DPS (for symmetry) though it would be really amusing if this actually makes sense and lines up: Kaphas seem like they could be healers more than tanks, or maybe something like a paladin. Known for their strengths in supporting others. Feels more like their resilience comes more from the ability to self-heal rather than “tankishness” or being big-boned. Or maybe a paladin? Pitta feels like a tank: known to be muscular, are (sometimes aggressive) leaders, yet also have the ability to set off and grind through giant mobs solo. Vata feels spot on. Massive damage in short, sometimes chaotic bursts, and then need breaks to recharge commensurate with the amount of mana used.

[@wearejungians]

Vatas are a wide open bucket. Easy to get knowledge poured in, but it easily falls out. Pitas are a vial. Harder to get knowledge in but it retains the knowledge much easier. Kaphas are a fire hose. Hard to get started but when it goes, it's hard to stop. This is such an empowering paradigm to operate in. I'm just smiling from the fact that I'm potentially a Vata and have a decent road map moving forward. I don't need all that structure BS. That stuff holds me down.

[@julienleboulch7747]

In every type of mental test, i always am kind of evrything, vatta kapha petha and everything, i am always everything. I saw this when we had to do a kinda debate (or i created it cause i love seeing how people think) and i was able to defend my point of view but also the opposit point of view and it appeared that i can defend any point of view. I am 50% introvert and 50% extravert etc etc. So i really can take all your advices because they all work.

[@hdshjs]

Ayurveda is like a horoscope or fortunetelling. The three descriptions cover all most popular traits, thus everyone's can "find themselves" in those descriptions and if you realize one of your traits doesn't fit, you just say "Oh, so I have two (or three) doshas". Or we ignore the traits that don't fit to our mind's confirmation bias. Ayurveda theory of personality lacks unambiguous criteria for each dosha to begin with, thus can not be proven or debunked.

[@cv799]

I'm a little skeptical of it myself but I think stating that it has the same ambiguity as things like horoscopes is not necessarily true. Ayurveda takes psychological traits and links them genomically to physical traits. Very specific physical traits from skin type to stool and digestive tendencies are linked with psychological and social habits from sleep to temperment to relationships. This linkage between the physical and mental, on top of the studies mentioned that link it to genetics and disease are what interest me enough to give it the benefit of the doubt. Also, by virtue of ayurveda's goal and what it is, of course everyone will find themselves somewhere in the descriptions because it is meant to be three spectrums which encompass essentially every possible way an individuals human mind can "work". Like all combinations of stats a person can be born with. And by having the Vikruti questionnaire Ayurveda represents how individual events and cultural/societal location can shift and change a persons Dosha values. I think this bolsters the credibility of Ayurveda because it allows the human mind to be ever changing (psychologically, not necessarily physically) which I think both intuition and research suggest is the case. It's not like "you fall rigidly into this category so this is how you are and will continue to be, because the stars say so." Lastly, I think it could be disproven because of the specifics I mentioned before. If, for instance, it was found that people who were tested to be predominantly vata had just the same chances of getting diseases that, say, Kapha people are theorized to be prone to, that would significantly impact the integrity of Ayurveda. Or if a group who tested high in Kapha and low in Vata were equally as prone to anxious depressions as they were to melancholic depression this would also undermine Ayurvedic postulates. But let me know what you think, I'm really interested in finding out if this is the pseudoscience it feels like or not.

[@IceGoddessRukia]

@@cv799 Thanks for this comment! I was feeling skeptical about all this as well but if Ayurveda medicine can help at all then it's got more of a leg to stand on IMO. Just because it's an old practice doesn't mean it's 100% right, but I guess you can also say "if it ain't broke" with Ayurveda as well. Obviously I'm split. It's fascinating, but what are the hard evidences? Why do most people seem like a weird homunculus of all three Doshas?

[@adamcummings20]

What I'm confused about is how it goes from "all minds are unique" to "we will treat you as one of 3 types of person" Where the heck does that come from?

OCEAN/MBTI/Dosha I acknowledge that with the personality traits, Big5(OCEAN) and Myers Briggs(MBTI) do have some parallels but their definitions are still different: Extraversion/introversion - the same, Openness - Sensing/Intuition, Agreeableness - Feeling/Thinking, Conscientiousness - Judging/Perceiving, Neuroticism - Turbulent/Assertive. The Doshas (Wind, Fire, Earth) seems to correspond to the temperaments of MBTI to some extent: Wind = xNTx, xNFx (The rationals, idealists, nerds, techs, scientists, artists and hippies), Fire = xSxJ (The conformists, traditional path followers, hierarchy/structure orientated people, corporate workers, lawyers, bankers, rote learners etc) , Earth = xSxP (rebellious, manual, physical, go with the flow, unstructured, tradesmen, mechanics, club performers, comedians, salespeople, manual labour, gangsters etc). Obviously, the dosha body type does not determine the dosha mind right away, but I do understand that the the skinny types tend to do less physical things, are more in their heads because they feel their body less as they are colder. That is why the typical nerd are skinny. Dosha is on a spectrum and the dosha body and mind types could mix.

[@trulylegend1999]

Eyo, been doing Typology for a while now. What it sounds like to me, at first glance anyway, is that ayurveda is a reflection of a combination of perception axes and judgment from MBTI/Socionics. So Vata Ne/Si/Ti Kapha Te Se/Ni Pitta Se/Ni/Fi

[@Kaluvin]

@@trulylegend1999 That is cool. I find typology useful when dealing with people and understanding their perspectives. I am an INTJ and all managers and leaders tend to be ESTJ(enforce conformity) and find that they don't like the non-conformist nature of some of my (social)behaviour or trying to find new ways to do things. The idea of treat others how you want to be treated doesn't work or needs to be redefined. People want to be treated according to their needs determined by their personality type. Don't use rational reasoning when someone just want results. Don't use logic or solution when someone just wants harmony or meaning. Again, people are not uniform.

I’m thin, nervous, quick-tempered, and have bony little Vata hands that like to move around by themselves, but the rest of my personality is so Kapha it’s not even funny. I definitely stay in the wrong situations much longer than I should to my own detriment (I’ve only worked two jobs in my *entire life* and quitting is unthinkable no matter how bad things get). Getting me started on a task is like trying to shove a massive, rusty steel freight train down a track by hand, but once I have enough inertia, I’m hyper-focused and would stop at nothing to finish it. Same for learning something new, it’s tough at first, but once it clicks, I never forget it.

I'm appearently Vata-Pitta which I can totally see, but how and where can I find suggestions of how I should deal with life? All I find is suggestions to improve my digestion which I don't give a crap (hah) about.

[@seratonyn]

Elemental personality and emotional traits as related to gaming and ayurveda. I dig it. Attributions are a little different from what I am used to applying to mind and personality. I enjoy your map and your work.

[@paijwa]

Man wtf, when he's describing vata it sounds like exactly like me, then he says that vata's have a higher chance to get autoimmune diseases, and of course I have alopecia universalis. This sounds too accurate to not be true to some extent.

Art is made only with an ayurvedic mind - a stabilised tri-dorshic

[@wademiranda6179]

tri-doshic people are whats known in the west as trans people (we know too much inherently)

Im 30%-60%-10%. So im mainly pitta. Funny thing is I instantly gravitate towards support roles in game such as Overwatch and Valorant, and shotcallers at that. Even more intereseting is I prefer dps over tank, in a ratio almost exactly 3 to 4. My friend who is clearly a khapa mains tank ofcourse and dps but despise support. Apart from that the rest is very vageu and can be aplied to anyone depending on what they think is cool. But the fact it actually had some sort of corelation without knowing much about it is very interesting.

I have taken a few Ayurveda tests in the last hour or so and I'm just getting confused... apparently I'm vata & pitta, but the description doesn't really make sense to me and I'm just confused now

[@efrahome]

Awesome lecture as always! I like to have the test that he showed at 32:20; do any of you guys have it?

[@soacker25]

Thank you! Amazing insight!

[@EzraBostic]

So where is this questionnaire!!

[@Fish-vs6jf]

"Ask yourself: 'what is my pvp?'" Instructions unclear, got charged with assault

[@SteveBrule982]

professional pseudoscientist

[@ewak.1155]

Apparently I'm a primarily Pitta and secondary Kapha which I find realy hillarious considering my ADHD... No wonder I constantly feel like I'm fighting with myself

[@JOATiDetermined]

My kink is Dr. K’s hair haha

[@Angelopisci]

This is amazing! Is there a part 2 available?

[@pokemusicfan]

this reminds me of Tokyo ghoul anime. you would be like ukaku type ghoul.

[@ugh_dad]

I feel like 10 years ago I was super vata but with the initiative and resilience of having the other dosha supporting well, now my only traits are the imbalanced versions of all three with angry Kapha being the worst, in that same time I went from very lean & could eat anything without indigestion or weight gain while having the worst health habits like not sleeping, eating pure junk, chain smoking, partying frequently, etc, now (after quitting smoking, eliminating binge drinking, trying to at least be aware of nutrition/macros/etc, sleeping proper amounts, generally having better health habits) I'm straight up obese, constant digestive issues, & chronically lethargic. Nothing else has helped maybe I should check out Ayurveda before I give up completely.

[@RuinGlacier]

I’m in the same boat brother, I am a Kapha as well! But I’ve been in good physical condition before and I know how to get there again. I just need to practice and hone my focus!

[@Irreversible_Reboot]

If any of you guys need a link to the google drive document posted in chat around 31:50. drive.google.com/file/d/1k2B2riKGa5xsbJDMpJpfNa-AqUga-bID/view

[@Irreversible_Reboot]

Here's the one about a physical attributes. drive.google.com/file/d/168m-yX2vdUoj6_DaDp1j3aSHdsA-wIhU/view

[@ludwigstenberg1050]

You are amazing, thank you so much!

[@dragonbreaker2798]

If you diet to "cure" vata problems, don't you just shift vata points in other dosha? Or is the diet just a counter to feel less bad vata thingy

[@shawntco]

Without doing the questionnaires I suspect I'm primarily on the kapha side

[@gdoggcasey]

This is really cool...I had some difficulty with a couple of the questions on the google doc trying to narrow down to just one. But regardless, I was overwhelmingly Pitta. Now to learn what that means, as I took the test before even watching the video lol.

[@bigbadlara5304]

I have ADHD and definetly according to this definition a vaata. But every physiological sign says I'm a kapha. I'm very big boned. Not fat. Just very big and wide build.

[@SparklyPsychic]

What is the questionnaire you sent in chat?

[@amyk6403]

Im not a gamer...but I like your style. I really needed to find this channel. Thanks.

[@amyk6403]

P.S. Im totally a Vatta.

[@amyk6403]

but my metabolism has slowed to a creep.wtf?

[@carsonwestlake3478]

A deep dive on this stuff would be great
