Ayurvedic philosophy
Ayurveda is based on 5 elements that our body, mind and spirit are made out on both physical and subtle level. These are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Ether (akash) – Hearing - pure space, filled with vibrating particles, sound energy. Everything manifests from ether and finishes, returns to ether. Air (hridaya) – Touch – when ether condenses to form atoms and molecules of nitrogen, oxygen and other minor gases. These gases are a part of air principle. Characteristic attribute to air is movement, mobility, dynamism. Fire (agni) – Sight – Fire is the principle of transformation or metabolism in life. It is a power that can change a solid substance into liquid or gas and vice versa. Water (jala or apas) – Taste – From fire, the liquid state of matter water is born. Earth (bhumi or prithvi) – Smell – From water, the earth element evolves with its attributes of stability, fixity, rigidity |
Each of these five elements is responsible for a specific sensory function. According to Ayurveda, a very common cause of illness is the unhealthy use of our five senses. Concept of the five elements (panchamahabhutas) is crucial in Ayurvedic medicine and its approach to the causes, prevention and treatment of any illness.
The five elements form the principle of three bodily humors or doshas that create our constitution - prakriti. These three doshas are:
Vata – combining air and space – movement. Vata is the principle of kinetic energy in the body. It is mainly concerned with the nervous system and controls all body movements such as breathing, circulation, elimination of waste from the body.
Pitta – combining fire and water – the element that governs all transformative and metabolic activities in life. Robert Svoboda says that ‘all of Pitta’s processes involve digestion or ‘’cooking’’, even if it is the cooking of thoughts into theories in mind’.
Kapha – combining earth and water provides the building substance for the physical body.
Everyone has a unique model of these three doshas, Prakriti, a combination that we are born with and that allows our mind and body to function on an optimal level. If any of these doshas becomes imbalanced then we associate it with Vikriti. Most imbalances in our life occur as a result of aging, stress and various life changes (including positive) and our inability to stay in a natural flow of life. Ayurveda is a wisdom of knowing how to bring the body back to balance so it can heal itself.
