Welcome back to our weekly edition of Friday Field Notes.
This week inside our Doctor of Spiritual Medicine, we explore the ancient intelligence of Ayurveda—one of the world’s oldest and most sophisticated systems of healing.
Rooted in the “knowledge of life,” Ayurveda teaches that true health arises from balance—between mind, body, spirit, and environment. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it invites us to listen, recognizing the body’s signals as reflections of deeper imbalances.
At the heart of this system are the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—biological energies that govern how we move, transform, and stabilize within the body.
Understanding your unique constitution (prakriti) allows you to align your lifestyle, nutrition, and rhythms with your natural design—supporting balance at every level.
In our Doctor of Spiritual Medicine, we guide our students in understanding and working with the doshas—applying Ayurvedic principles to restore balance across mind, body, and spirit.

| 🌿 Vata — Movement + Flow
Vata is the energy of air and space, governing all movement in the body and mind.
- Controls breath, circulation, and nerve impulses
- Drives creativity, intuition, and mental activity
- Supports elimination and communication within the body
- When balanced: light, inspired, adaptable
- When imbalanced: anxious, scattered, depleted
✨ If you tend toward Vata, you may thrive with grounding routines, warm nourishing foods, and practices that calm the nervous system and create stability. |

| 🔥 Pitta — Transformation + Metabolism
Pitta is the energy of fire and water, responsible for digestion, metabolism, and inner heat.
- Governs digestion, enzymes, and hormone function
- Supports focus, clarity, and decision-making
- Regulates body temperature and metabolic activity
- When balanced: driven, sharp, purposeful
- When imbalanced: irritable, inflamed, overworked
✨ If you tend toward Pitta, you may benefit from cooling foods, intentional rest, and practices that soften intensity and support balance. |

| 🏔️ Kapha — Structure + Stability
Kapha is the energy of earth and water, providing structure, grounding, and nourishment.
- Builds tissues, strength, and physical stability
- Supports hydration, lubrication, and immunity
- Cultivates calm, compassion, and emotional steadiness
- When balanced: grounded, resilient, supportive
- When imbalanced: sluggish, heavy, resistant to change
✨ If you tend toward Kapha, you may feel best with stimulation, movement, and routines that encourage lightness, energy, and flow.
🤍 Ayurveda reminds us that we are not meant to live the same way—but in alignment with our unique nature. When we understand our dosha, we begin to move with the body rather than against it.
