Seasonal Rhythms

Your unique dosha serves as a gentle compass, guiding you toward the environments and conditions that best support your well-being. It helps you recognize the climates, seasons, and surroundings that nourish your mind and body—where we feel most alive, centered, and at ease. By tuning into these natural callings, you can cultivate greater comfort and vitality in daily life, allowing your energy to flow and inner strength to flourish. In this way, understanding your dosha becomes an act of Self-love, helping you align with the rhythms of nature while honoring the needs of your unique constitution.

Jaclyn offers gentle guidance to help you adjust your inner “climate,” so that regardless of the outer conditions, you can move through Life with balance, flow, and Harmony. Below, you’ll find the seasonal qualities and tendencies for each dosha — showing where we may be more vulnerable when we are out of alignment, and where we can cultivate greater ease and well-being.

Spring: Kapha Dosha

Spring is a gentle invitation to awaken. As the days grow longer and the world stirs with new life, we naturally feel drawn to the outdoors, fresh air, and nourishing, vibrant foods. It’s a season of renewal, growth, and gentle expansion — a time to shake off stagnation and welcome fresh energy into our bodies and minds.

When Kapha is out of balance, the body may signal a need for extra care through colds, congestion, allergies, heaviness, sluggish digestion, weight changes, or low libido. These are tender reminders from the body, encouraging us to move, breathe, and nourish in ways that restore vitality and harmony.

With mindful attention, spring becomes a season of refreshment, lightness, and joyful awakening — a perfect time to nurture both body and spirit.

Summer: Pitta Dosha

Summer invites a season of radiance, warmth, and expansion. During this time, our spirits naturally feel lighter, our passions more vivid, and our courage to act and speak our truth stronger. It’s a season that encourages us to step fully into our purpose, make decisions with clarity, and shine in our unique expression.

When Pitta is out of balance, the body and mind may send gentle signals — irritability, jealousy, excessive thirst, inflammation, hives, or bloodshot eyes — reminding us to slow down, cool the inner fire, and care for ourselves with kindness.

With awareness and nurturing, summer becomes a time of joyful energy, confident expression, and aligned action — a season to celebrate both the warmth within and the life around us.

Fall: Vata Dosha

As the crispness of fall arrives, the world around us begins to slow, shedding excess and simplifying in preparation for the months ahead. During this season, we naturally long for warmth, comforting nourishment, loving connection, and the stability of routine. It’s a time to ground ourselves, nurture our hearts, and honor the quiet beauty of change.

When Vata is out of balance, we may notice restlessness, fear, loneliness, dry skin, cold hands or feet, constipation, or muscle aches — gentle signals from the body inviting extra care, grounding, and presence.

With mindful attention, fall becomes a season of warmth, comfort, and inner steadiness — a sacred invitation to slow down, center ourselves, and cultivate balance as the world prepares to rest.

Winter: Kapha Dosha & Vata Dosha

Winter gently invites us into stillness. As the natural world slows and retreats into quiet slumber, we too are called to rest, savor warm, nourishing foods, and embrace the calm of introspection. It’s a season that encourages slowing down, honoring our bodies, and turning inward to restore energy and balance.

Because winter carries the qualities of both Kapha and Vata, imbalances may arise as subtle reminders to care for ourselves — whether it’s extra sleep, low mood, sluggish digestion, congestion, swollen lymph nodes, or low-grade fevers; or sensations of lightness, confusion, dry skin, poor circulation, stiffness, or ringing in the ears.

With gentle attention, warmth, and self-care, winter becomes a sacred season of restoration — a time to nurture your body, soothe your mind, and deepen your connection to the quiet, restorative rhythm of life.
