Balance – Imbalance Assessment

Understanding Your Nature. Restoring Your Balance.

 This assessment is designed to help you understand one of the most important distinctions in authentic Ayurveda: the difference between who you are by nature and what is currently out of balance.

In Ayurveda, this distinction is essential to true healing.

Prakriti is your innate constitution — the unique combination of energies you were born with. It is stable and remains with you for life.

Vikriti is your current state of imbalance — the ways stress, lifestyle, diet, emotions, or environment may be disturbing your natural equilibrium.

Healing in Ayurveda is not about changing who you are.
It is about removing what does not belong, so your natural intelligence can restore harmony.

• Prakriti = your lifelong constitution
• Vikriti = your present doshic disturbance

 

Part One: Prakriti Self-Assessment

Purpose

This assessment helps you identify your Prakriti—your natural constitution present since birth.
Answer based on what has been true for most of your life, not temporary conditions.

There are no “good” or “bad” types.
Ayurveda honours individual balance, not comparison.

 How to Answer

For each question:

• Choose the option that describes you most naturally
• If two options feel equally true, you may select both
• Do not answer based on illness, stress, or recent changes

 

Part Two: Vikriti (Imbalance) Assessment

Purpose

This assessment identifies your Vikriti—your present imbalance influenced by diet, stress, lifestyle, emotions, climate, and routine. Understanding Your Current State of Imbalance and awareness restores balance.

 How to Answer

• Answer based on the last 4–8 weeks
• Select all statements that apply
• Be honest—this is a diagnostic mirror, not a judgment
