So this, one of the wonderful Ayurvedic diagnostic tools is the examination of tongue.

The pulse, the tongue.

And through that,

Just by observing this thing, we build up, find out which dosha is affected, which dhatu, the tissue is involved.

And then we can create a unique individualistic protocol, dosha pratyenik, specific to the dosha.

the specific to the tissue then organ which is specific to the organ the vital organ the brain the heart and then and then that formula really hit the head of the nail and it really works so again i like to think about the differences in how the western and the eastern conceive these different things i feel like we treat the mind and the body as two separate phenomena largely in the west and the way you're describing

Generally, these are the seventh level pulse is prakriti.

First level is vikruti.

Then sixth level is manas prakriti.

That is your psychological makeup.

So, whenever I go to that level, sixth level, I'm just explaining how we come to this conclusion.

Then we imagine there is an eight petal lotus under my finger.

This is petal one, petal two, and each petal represents the Prakruti, the constitution.

So,

When I was feeling your Manas Prakriti, these are the words.

You are Indra, Agni and Varuna.

Indra, Agni, Varuna.

Means you are a very spiritual person.

Very loving and highly knowledgeable.

There is a great compassion in you.
