Die Millionen Dollar – Frage

The Million-dollar Question!

Many questions were asked and answered during a Pulse Reading course With Vaidya Mishra. Attendees learnt from each other, sharing knowledge and experience. We would like to share with you one particular question that helped put things into perspective for all new and old practitioners. The question was: how come, either during the practicum, or even before or after it, do we not get to see a pulse that does not have zero imbalances? Or a pulse that does not show toxins? Why can there not be a perfect pulse? Free of doshic imbalances and of toxic build-up? Can there be such a pulse ever? If so, when?
Vaidya appreciated this discerning question, and said: "part of the answer lies in the fact that vata, pitta, and kapha are called "dosha"s. The Sanskrit word "dosha" means something that carries an imbalance or something that is an imbalance in itself. That is, an inherent imbalance, an imbalance that is there in and of its own nature. The specific term for this is: sva-bhav, literally, self-behavior.
Each dosha, Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, are subdivided into 5 additional sub-doshas. In total, 15 sub-doshas. Vata dosha,or the king of doshas, is that aspect of the physiology that governs all circulatory functions, as well as the movement and distribution of energy, food, etc. Its sub-doshas are: prana (reception and distribution of the primary cosmic life-giving energy); apana (the downward evacuating movement of discarded materials such as feces, urine, menstrual blood), samana (the circulatory movement of food in the digestive area), udana (the downward movement located in the chest), vyana (the distribution of energy, nutrition and heat over the entire physiology). Pitta, or the intelligence of overall transformation in the body has the following sub-doshas: bhrajaka (the skin's intelligence that allows it to filter unwanted molecules from desirable ones entering the body from the environment through the skin); pachaka (the metabolic intelligence in the stomach); ranjaka (the metabolic function located in the liver that helps transform nutrition into blood etc); alochaka (the pitta intelligence located in the eyes that support vision); sadhaka (the pitta function in the heart that helps metabolize and "digest" thoughts and emotions). Finally Kapha dosha with the following sub-functions: shleshaka (the lubricating functions in the body overall that help balance acidity and dryness in the micro- and macro-circulatory channels);   tarpaka (the factor that supports lubrication and moisture in the brain area); avalambhaka (the factor that supports lubrication and moisture in the spinal area and that is connected to overall emotional and mental stamina as well); bodhaka (the lubrication factor located in the mouth that also supports the recognition of taste and flavors); kledaka (the lubricating function seated in the stomach that helps balance the digestive fires).
All 15 subdosha-s have the sva-bhava or natural predisposition for getting out of balance not as an indication of dis-ease or ill-health, but as a function of time. What does this mean?



It is not possible to keep all 15 subdoshas in balance all the time. Even a totally healthy person's pulse will display subdoshic imbalances as a part of the homeostatic function of the body. The homeo-static function of the body is the body's inherent ability to maintain itself in balance, to correct itself as much as it can so that it can go on functioning.

Why does a healthy person's pulse display subdoshic imbalances? Consider this example. Every day, during lunchtime or at midday, the sun's position in the sky triggers higher enzymatic and metabolic process in our bodies. Because the sun gets closer to us, "pachak pitta" goes high in our stomach. Our bodies are naturally "programmed" to respond this way, as it is an indication for us to eat and get nourished. Pachak pitta goes high in order to increase the "pachak agni," so that the person will feel hungry, and will eat in order to support body and mind. So pachak pitta is usually high or out-of-balance at noon. And this will be seen in the pulse.

But we can take another example as well: when someone gets exposed to the cold, the body responds by regenerating the cellular agni through increasing bhrajak pitta, in order to ward off the cold and prevent the total malfunction of the body at least temporarily.

So you can see how as part of the life-supporting homeostasis or inherent intelligence and in order to prevent from immediate serious imbalance, the body creates imbalances itself, raises one dosha at the expense of another, in order to regain or maintain further balance. It is an ongoing process. When environmental factors trying to imbalance the body are repeated over a long period of time, then the body's trigger reactions also become settled. When the imbalance is allowed to stay for a long period of time, then things get further complicated and can result in dis-ease. It's the same thing with the dhatu-s or tissues (plasma, blood, muscle, bone, etc) in the body that accumulate toxic build-up. Due to the need for constant transformation, the demand and supply mechanism for whatever dhatu-s are needed more in the physiology, on a moment-to-moment basis, dhatus go up and down retaining more or less toxic build-up. We already live in a highly toxic environment and SVA recognizes 4 major types of toxins, that can interfere with your body's balance. (You may watch Vaidya explaining these types of toxins and how to avoid them on youtube by clicking here). The first kind, called ama . Since our digestive, metabolic and cellular agni-s are constantly transforming and are in process, it is difficult to keep all these transformations from being 100% perfect. It is normal to make some ama here and there. It is like a car. No matter how good the brand, and how careful the driver, after some time, it will start to need deeper cleanses, and the change of body parts, due to the accumulation of or oil or fuel residue, etc. The ama that gets produced in our bodies serves as the raw material for amavisha. With this in mind, and the fact that nowadays we live in a very toxic environment where it is easier to be exposed to genobiotics on a regular basis rather than not, and the ubiquitous presence of EMF, It is not possible to keep the pulse free of imbalances. But it is possible to have healthy imbalances that have to do only with seasonal or temporal changes. And one very important factor to ensure our total health most of the time over time is to have more ojas. Ojas is the the connecting factor between the environment and the inner body, and is the side-benefit of perfect metabolism. When our bodies carry enough quantities of ojas, it is the biggest shock-absorber that protects our mental, emotional, and physical health."
