Like a butterfly in the wind

👍🏻 Dynamism and Audacity

👎🏻 Confusion and insecurity

Vata is a person of normal weight or sometimes underweight, with generally small bones. They can be tall, with a lean physique, or small and petite. Emotionally, they may remind one of Michelle Hunziker or Roberto Benigni: lively people, a breath of movement and energy. They live on impulse, on instinct. Vata is a multitasking, instinctive, and creative person, who is inclined towards interaction with others, towards communication: Vata does not meditate much, they are carried away by their strong vital energy.

Vata is like the wind. It mostly follows the values that are important to it at that particular moment. It is easily convinced: do you remember the famous aria from Rigoletto, "La donna è mobile, qual piuma al vento"... Vata is like that! It needs to be acknowledged from the outside. If you make a Vata person feel insecure, they will tend to fall into despair or run away.

The elements of Vata are the small and the subtle, which we find throughout the body: in the hair, in the pores of the skin. It often has irregular traits, just like the wind. When in balance, Vata is like a window that, when wide open, lets in a gentle and pleasant breeze. When there is imbalance, the wind of Vata begins to be overpowering, creating disorder. At the peak of imbalance, it is a hurricane, which does not know which direction to take, loses its orientation, does not know what to do, and becomes insecure, anxious.

'Air is her element. An element that can be beneficial if it is directed towards changes, going towards infinity and beyond, or harmful if there is a persistent imbalance, which leads nowhere.'

"Her sense is hearing. She doesn't like to waste time, she needs speed. She only listens to what catches her attention and she also enjoys hearing the sound of her own voice. She talks a lot: she loves to talk and tell stories. When she is off balance, she doesn't listen. As true as it is that she learns quickly, she also tends to forget just as quickly. She is sharp, alert, and tends to interrupt you because when you speak, she already knows what you want to say."

From a physical point of view, thin skin has little muscle and the pores are small: this makes a Vata person prone to premature aging, loss of tone, and body toxicity, due to a high speed of food digestion, which, when fermenting, does not create ideal absorption and elimination, so much so that Vata also suffers from constipation. Even the skin, when the cellular turnover increases too much, appears dull, gray, and not luminous.

Vata is like a butterfly that flies in the wind: you can't hold it tight, otherwise it dies, but you also can't let it too free, because it won't feel appreciated and will escape.
