Your Mi n d
What dosha rules your mind? This quiz determines the predominant element or “ dosha” in your mind.
Place an “ x” next to the sentence that best describes you. If you simply can’t decide, choose The Wind (Vata).
The column with the highest number of x’s is your dosha.
Don’t be surprised if
two or more columns
are just about even
with each other. All of
the elements live in
your mind and it’s
quite common to have
an even split.

www.elementalom.com. See
the first slide of the
presentation for a screen shot

Please note the following:
You will follow the plan for
your BODY DOSHA if you are
IN BALANCE.
You will follow the plan for
your worse imbalance, if you
are OUT OF BALANCE

Organic Veggie Stock/Broth…great tip
from Amy Wells
Over the course of the week accumulate your veggie
scraps in a plastic bag. Keep the ends, peels (including
onion peels, carrot tops, etc.) and "ugly" pieces (never
moldy or bad food, of course) of any of the following
veggies in the bag: carrots, celery, onions,
spinach, garlic, parsnips, mushrooms, broccoli,
asparagus, potatoes.
Fill up a colander pasta pot with water and toss the
ingredients in the colander. Add a fresh clove of garlic or
two, crushed; a bay leaf, several peppercorns, and any
extra fresh herbs you have on hand.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes.
Allow the broth to cool.
