Space + Air

Vata เคตเคพเคค

The Force of Movement & Creativity

Vata is composed of Space (Akasha) and Air (Vayu). It governs all movement in the body โ€” from the blink of an eye to the beating of the heart. Vata types are creative, enthusiastic, and quick-thinking, but can become anxious and scattered when out of balance.
