Today, we are doing a deep dive into the Pitta Dosha, what that means, how you can bring
yourself into balance, how you can increase it if you need a little heat and decrease
it if you need to cool things down.
Where are my Pitta people at?
I know you are out there.
If you are new to this series, you're going to want to check out the previous videos I've
already done.
I'm going to include some links to those in the corners and down in the description below.
So make sure you check that out.
Also, if you aren't sure what your Dosha is, or if you're not even sure what a Dosha is
in the first place, make sure you download my Dosha quiz.
You can grab that from the description below as well.
Let's talk about Pitta in balance.
A balanced Pitta person is a natural leader.
You're a visionary.
You are ready to do what it takes to get the job done.
You're fired up.
You're ready to go.
You're passionate about what it is you do in the world.
Pitta people in balance make decisions easily.
They're also great delegators.
So they're very willing to hand something over in order to make sure that things get
done to the best of their ability.
When Pitta people become out of balance, things start to look a little different.
When a Pitta person, a Pitta constitution, is out of balance, it can mean lots of tension
or frustration.
It can mean anger and irritability and aggressive behavior.
You might start to see physical signs of imbalance with rashes or skin irritation.
You might suffer from hyperacidity where you might be experiences heart burn or problems
digesting food.
You might also sweat more than you normally would or become more aggravated by the heat.
Noticing these signs, both mentally, emotionally and physically, can help you tune into, "Do
I have excess Pitta?
And are there things I can do to bring it back down?
Can I cool myself down?," when we find that our Pitta is out of balance.
So when we have an excess of heat and fire and oil, we want to engage in practices that
are cooling for the system.
These might include cooling movement practices like a yin yoga class, going for a walk instead
of running.
We may want to spend more time in meditation.
We want to avoid breathe work that increases the heart rate.
We may also choose different foods.
So we may opt for a cold smoothie over that hot cup of coffee.
Coffee can be very aggravating for a Pitta system.
So making choices that support the system and bring the system back into balance.
That's everything that Ayurveda is teaching us, is again about being in balance.
Are you a Pitta person?
