#6 Elemental Constitutions and Right Relationships

Our work in this life is to live in a way that brings balance to our elemental constitution. Ayurveda teaches us that disease can be caused from becoming distorted from our true nature. I don’t know about you, but I’ve experienced Nature “correcting me on my path” countless times. We can do everything we can to “make things happen”, but if Nature has other plans for us, she’ll make them happen. Nature always wins. The key is, and what we’re really getting into in this episode, is how to not be in conflict with Nature… our nature and our horse’s to be exact. In this episode I talk about: + What elemental constitutions are, how we all have them (horses, humans, and other animals alike), and why it’s incredibly helpful, if not essential that we understand them in order to cultivate balance in our lives + The five elements according to Ayurveda + The three doshas and constitutional types + How to balance your constitution and your horse’s through lifestyle, self- and horse-care practices + How we can balance our relationships with horses (and all of our loved ones) through understanding how the elements play a role in our patterns, behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and everything in between Resources This show is supported by The Herd, a holistic horse community.
