Episode 121

Colette answers the following questions from members of the Elements community:

• Dreams – “I am working very hard on balancing Vata. In my dreams however, I am overly active, bombarded by lots of stimulation (in a busy market place, or behind on my homework or I’m lost somewhere etc.) and wake up feeling like I’ve been through the wringer. Do dreams also affect the doshas?”

• Tongue Diagnosis – “Can you talk about how the tongue is a window to your health status and describe the specific characteristics of the tongue that signify an imbalance?”

• Immunity – “Our immune system, how to boost it with certain spices/foods/daily activities. And when you do have an auto-immune disease how possible to balance that?”
