Tibetan Energies Questionnaire

Indo-Tibetan Energies Questionnaire

Snow

Vata-rLung

Forest

Pitta-Tripa

Mountains

Kapha-Beken

Indo-Tibetan medicine systems classify the body and mind into three main categories (called Doshas in Indian Medicine (Ayurveda) or Humors in Tibetan medicine). I will use Doshas, Humors and Energies interchangeably but preferably Energies. The proportion of these Energies determine your constitution or type. Below are these three Energies (Doshas and Tibetan names):
  • Vata-rLung: governs movement, and nervous system activity,
  • Pitta-Tripa: governs metabolism, digestion, and transformation,
  • Kapha-Beken: governs stability, structure, and fluid balance.
The following questionnaire helps you know what is your generic constitution and give you hints to stay in balance. For an objective assessment of your Energies and their Balance, use the SATHeart App and visit SATHeart for more detailed information, news and blog posts.

You can enter your age here if you want a more detailed analysis of Your Energies after the questionnaire.

Energie – Age Model in Traditional Eastern Medicine

Energies evolve from birth to old age, and even from months to minutes. The graph below illustrates the typical Traditional Indo-Tibetan Model of these Energies from birth to old age.


Energies

Balance

If your current Energies are below the Age-Model, it shows a dark green bar Balance, and if above it shows a dark blue bar, and if your Energies are within 20% od rhe Age-Model, they sow as a gold bar.
The Balance for each Energy should be interpreted with great care as both the Questionnaire and the Model are based on empirical sources. However, we can draw the following generic tendencies:
  • If Your rLung is above the Model (blue): your nervous system might be over-activates, potentially getting to much worries,
  • If Your Tripa is above the Model (blue): you might experience burst of irritability and heart arrhythmias, liver or vision issues,
  • If Your Beken is above the Model (blue): you may feel under stimulated, sleepy with digestive issues.
and,
  • If Your rLung is below the Model (green): you generally feel relaxed,
  • If Your Tripa is below the Model (green): your metabolism might be slow from time to time,
  • If Your Beken is below the Model (green): you might experience unusual instability or unsettling mind.
and,
  • If Your rLung is in balance (gold): you generally have a sense of good and fast thinking,
  • If Your Tripa is in balance (gold): you are likely to feel energized and have clear mind set,
  • If Your Beken is in balance (gold): your life is generally stable.
If you want a regular assessment of your Energies and their Balance from your physiological parameters, use the SATHeart App and pulse wave sensor. Visit SATHeart for more detailed information, news and blog posts.
