‘Life,’ according to Ayurveda, is the intelligent coordination of one’s soul, mind, senses, and the body, with the totality of nature around him and the universe as well. We interact with nature around us, other planets, we interact with a lot many people in the society and we are in continuous communication with our own mind. What happens externally has definitely an impact on our bodymind complex. In short, we affect and are affected by every other animate and inanimate thing in existence. Bringing balance in each interaction – within and without – is the key to health. Practical Ayurveda revolves around the physiological basis of humors. The theory of three humors is developed primarily as a tool to quantify the pathogenesis and consequently to quantify the need of healthcare interventions in any given condition. Assessment of the status of the humors has become the preferred way of decision-making in therapeutics in Ayurveda. Lissa Coffey from USA writes about doshas from a different angle. A certified instructor with The Chopra Center, Lissa Coffey is a renowned authority on Ayurveda and relationships. She has had six books published. Her best-selling book “What’s Your Dosha, Baby? Discover the Vedic Way for Compatibility in Life and Love” is the only book ever published on Ayurveda and Relationships, and it has been translated into five languages.
