The universe
is made up of five elements or Punchbhuttas, and so are we. Each element has a unique
characteristic. Each of them imparts their virtue wherever they are present.
Understanding the body types enables
us to understand our bodies and take measures to correct its aggravations.
For instance, an exposure to cold and dry weather
or stressful day makes one tired with wavering brain. It manifests as fatigue
and undue anxiety and fear. It is a classic example of Vayu aggravation.
Usually I
witness, persons especially students under stress of studies and exams stay in perpetual
anxiety and fear. They simply fail to understand the aggravation of Vayu tattva
in body and don’t seek measures to rectify it. Thus the condition persists.
Extreme
cases of Vayu aggravation slide the person in a state of lower stamina and
depression. As the lord of Vayu tattva, the planet Saturn is known to induce
irritations, anxiety, fear and impulsiveness in an individual.
To soothe
the Vayu aggravation, measures like proper diet, breathing exercise and mind
soothing meditation and chanting of mantra (of planet Saturn, Lord Hanuman,
Lord Shiva) help. Life style changes, according to nature’s circadian cycle
work the best to deal with it.
The five elements and their
characteristics-
Ether or
space- is present everywhere.
Air-is a
substance of varying state.
Fire-has
power to transform matters.
Water-is a
substance with power to flow or flexibility.
Earth- is a substance
of solid state.
Each of the
elements, thus show their attributes wherever they occupy the place.
The three humeral
or constituents of body are Vayu, Pitta and Kapha. The three humeral of body
are actually the faults or aggravations of Panchbhutas (five elements of body
i.e. ether or space, air, fire, water and earth).
The three
aggravations of elements impart characteristic of human body as Vayu, Kapha and
Pitta. Thus the constitution or type of person varies from person to person. A
person may have single constitution or may be of mixed i.e. can have more than
two doshas or of mixed types.
The constitution of three humeral are
Vayu (air+space), Pitta (fire+Water) and Kalpa or Phlegm(earth+water).
