Yeah.
Because especially for the Westerners, that's like very... For example, whenever I read the pulse,
This is index finger, middle finger, ring finger.
This is radial artery.
I'm feeling and going deep, deep, deep.
So if the spike come here, it is Kapha.
This is proximal.
Proximal Kapha 1, Kapha 2, Kapha 3.
Middle, middle spike is Pitta.
Pitta 1, Pitta 2, Pitta 3.
And distal spike is Vata.
Vata 1, Vata 2, Vata 3.
So when I go down, deep down,
Under all three finger, I get pitta, pitta, pitta.
Pitta is three.
But under index and middle finger, I get vata too.
And under ring and a middle finger, I get kapha.
So your prakriti, vata two, pitta three, kapha two.
Two, three, two, that is your constitution to the default.
Then I come to the superficial level, the present altered status of the dosha.
