Difference betwen change and transformation

Vata equals movement and change, while the pitta in our body equals transformation. I remember Dr David Simon the medical director and co-founder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing saying this to me in my training for recertification s as a Perfect Health instructor. I’ve heard the same thing a couple times before while I was patient, but this time something hit me. I realized I do not understand the difference between change and transformation, they seem like the same thing to me. That was a few years ago when I first heard him say that and I have always dwelled on it some hoping to understand it better one day. It was like me putting the question out there to the universe and knowing the answer would find its way home some day. After my last visit to the Chopra Center in January the answer popped in my head so clearly I laughed out loud wondering why I could not see this before. When I got on a plane and flew 3000 miles for help at the Chopra Center, I changed my location. My daily routine changed when I got to California, I had a new place to sleep and new people to talk to everyday. My Vata or movement was going through a lot of movement and change. I understand now why they say it is easy for a person’s vata to get out of balance when they travel a lot, there is nothing but movement and change which is all about vata. Now, when I first got to the Chopra Center and went through all this change I still was just 97 pounds, sick, and in pain, all that movement but my bad health was still the same, no transformation. It wasn’t until after a couple days when I noticed the pain was gone and I wasn’t going to the bathroom all day long anymore that I felt like my mind and body was going through a transformation. I could have traveled and changed everything about my life all I wanted, but until my health started to get better I saw no transformation or pitta. It is kind like that saying where you can run but you can’t hide. I can see that all the change in my life is not going to make a difference if I can not also let myself transform.
