Pitta:

For pitta, meditation will make them far more productive. Meditation has been scientifically proven to increase memory as well as brain function, and help to aid productivity and emotional wellbeing, too. Pitta should remain calm and listen to a guided meditation for best results.

Kapha:

Kaphas need to stay entertained, otherwise it’s going to be nap time. A meditation using mudras is recommended. These are hand gestures that help evoke various qualities to keep the mind and body connected to each other. Moving meditations (like walking or dancing) can be wise for kaphas. Kaphas should avoid using a backrest for meditation practice too; they should remain upright so energy can flow both up and down their spine.

Meditation is Highly Beneficial for Balance

Overall, meditation is a tool to enhance the individual’s life and bring the doshas back into balance. Meditation is beneficial for all 3 doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha) all year ‘round. Meditation practice helps to free the mind of old, negative, and unhelpful thoughts, therefore expanding an individual’s awareness and consciousness.

Some Useful Meditation Techniques

While the following 3 meditation practices can be done by anyone at any time of the year, each technique has particular qualities that are helpful for balancing a particular dosha. Explore the qualities of these 3 practices and see which one feels right for you this season.

The Kapha Walking Meditation

During springtime, excess kapha can manifest as mental sluggishness or foggy thinking, and sometimes lethargy and a lack of motivation can occur. Ensuring helpful movement and circulation helps to prevent the heavier, thicker, damper qualities of kapha from accumulating too much. Reduce excess kapha by using meditation techniques that have opposite qualities to the dosha (e.g. lighter, livelier, more energizing ones). This meditation keeps the body moving while still enhancing focus and allowing for mental clarity.

Instructions:

Allow 15 to 20 minutes for practice.
