In Ayurveda, we call this time period–late winter to early summer–Kapha Season. Over the deep cold and hibernation that winter inspires, Kapha Dosha, with its qualities of Earth and Water, accumulates in the environment and thus in our bodies to counter-balance the effects of Vata Season’s Air and Ether energies (late fall to early winter). Therefore, as we feel the seasonal shift occur, we can sense, if we are living in alignment with mother nature’s rhythms, that in order to balance the heavier, denser, thicker and oilier effects of Kapha Season, we must lighten, remove and refresh!
As the heavy duvets of snow melt, and the earth becomes saturated with the fertility that water affords, seeds sprout forth their baby seedlings, animals awaken from a long winter’s slumber, birds reappear from their vacations down south, insects buzz about on the waves of warmer weather, and you two have the opportunity to open your eyes to the gift of being alive!

But if we are living in ignorance of Ayurvedic wisdom, and making choices that go against the natural inclinations of the seasons, we can spend the Spring wrestling with dullness, heaviness, extra weight, depression, congestion, mucus, colds, allergies and more.
This Spring Survival Guide will be an ongoing Journal entry, with new suggestions added regularly over the next two weeks, so be sure to follow us on Instagram or sign up to our newsletter to know when new entries are made.
But if you’d like to really go deep into the teachings that Ayurveda has to offer for this time of the year, purchase one or both of our previous seasonal Ayurvedic online workshops.
