Best Relaxation Options for you type:
If you’ve taken Feminine Stress Test here on my site, you’ll know if you are predominantly a Nurturer (Kapha), Iconoclast (Vata) or Dynamic (Pitta) type of woman. Take the test here: https://quiz.leadquizzes.com/q/gCIPyo
This info is to create a healthy balance- all illness (other than contagious) has to do with lifestyle choices and a bit of genetics (less than we think.) All of us (me too,) tend to do more of what we naturally like-so it increases our imbalance- if we like sweets we eat more- not good if you are a Nurturer type-it will eventually slow you down, make you feel heavier and less motivated. Each type has amazing gifts and natural weaknesses.
Often “genetics” is that we do what our parents/grandparents did as lifestyle choices/emotional choices and we get the same results! There is a science call epigenetics that investigates why a gene will or won’t turn on- holistic folks think it’s often how we manage our emotions/lifestyle choices that have an affect on that.
Iconoclast (Vata)
- quiet time in nature
- stay warm, especially back of neck and lower back
- anything that makes you feel safe and nurtured- like a deep guided relaxation
- prayer that builds faith & meditation
Dynamic (Pitta)
- anything relaxing by water, that is cool (not hot environment)
- reading heart warming stories like Chicken Soup for Soul series
- any practice that calms your competitive nature
- prayer & quiet meditation
Nurturer (Kapha)
- cook for a group of friends
- volunteer doing something you love
- a brisk walk or exercise with a friend or group
- yoga/tai-chi
