THE THREE ENERGIES OF THE BODY

Since all what exists is made of five elements, it also includes 

human body. The same cosmic principles apply on it But the
body has soul in it. which is the cause of consciousness and
makes it a vital organism. For the performance of vital
functions, the five elements form three principal energies
referred to as humors in English {dosa in Sanskrit), and these
are vata from ether and air, pitta firom fire and kapha from
water and earth. These energies perform various mental and
physical functions of the body and the nature of those
functions depend upon the nature of the element they originate from. 

Vata is responsible for entire body movements, blood
circulation, respiration, excretion, speech, sensations, touch,
hearing, feelings like fear, anxiety, grief, enthusiasm etc.,
natural urges, formation of foetus, sexual act and retention. 

Pitta is responsible for vision, hunger, thirst, heat
regulation, softness and lustre, cheerfulness, intellect and
sexual vigour. 

Kapha constitutes all the solid structure of the body and
is responsible for binding, firmness, heaviness, sexual potency,
strength, forbearance and restraint. 

Each person differs from another because of a slight
difference in his or her fundamental constitution called
prakrti. This difference is due to the variation in the proportion
of the three main energies. This variation is in terms of
dominance of a particular humor or the combination of two
humors. This is what makes us different from one another
and unlike machines, as the system of modern medicine
tends to make us. The prakrti not only describes the variations
in physiological features of individuals but also their
personality types. 

For good health and long life, these three vital forces or
humors should be in a state of equilibrium within their
individual organisation as well as with respect to each other.
However, if there is disturbance in one humor and it deviates
from its quality, quantity or place or the three humors are
not in proportion to each other, it leads to vikrti or a state 

of vitiation, thus giving rise to various ailments. When the
state of vitiation is left unattended for a long time, it may give
rise to serious disorders. Time, place, situation, nutrition,
emotions etc. consttuitly influence humors or the vital forces
and learning about the influence of these factors on your
particular constitution, you can learn to maintain their
equilibrium. 

These three vital forces are also related to our
thought process and therefore it is foremost to keep
equilibrium in the three qualities of the mind. The rajas
quality of mind includes thinking, planning and taking
decisions. The tamos quality is that, which hinder motion and
expansion of the mind (greed, anger, jealousy, laziness
and so on). The sattva quality of mind includes equilibrium,
goodness, truth, compassion, stillness and peace. Balance of
sattva, rajas and tamos influences the equilibrium of the
humors as well as causes mental ailments. 

Thus, for maintaining good health and longevity, a six dimensional equilibrium is essential as these three dimensions at two levels mutually influence each other. The imbalance of these three qualities of mind also influences the equilibrium of humors and vice versa. 

When you radiate and feel well, others take notice. Your light shines bright from within, and thus sparks other individuals.
