Kapha represents the creation of the beginning, pitta
represents the preservation of the middle and vata represents the dissolution
of the end. The cycle of nature always begins with kapha, moving into pitta,
dissolving into vata and ultimately coming back into new growth as kapha once
again.

Seasons are one such measure of time in which there is a
natural progression of the doshas. Kapha is strongest in the late winter and
early spring when everything is moist, the temperature gets warmer and all the
flowers and plants begin to grow. Pitta reaches its pinnacle in the late spring
and summer when the weather is hot and nature is in a state of transformation
between creation and destruction. Vata intensifies in the fall and early winter
when the leaves fall, the plants recede back into the earth and the wind leaves
us dry and cold.
• Kapha season falls in spring—mid-March to mid-June.
• Pitta season falls in summer and early autumn—mid-June to
mid-October.
• Vata season bridges late autumn and winter—mid-October to
mid-March.

Kapha dosha is one of the tridoshas that controls growth in
the body. It supplies water to all the parts of the body, and thus, moisturizes
the skin. It also helps maintain immunity. Kapha dosha is responsible for the
respiratory system and the normal and healthy functioning of the brain and
joints. If you find any change in the functioning of any of the systems
mentioned above, it is more likely to be related to an imbalance of kapha
dosha.

"In just-spring
when the world is mud-
luscious and... puddle-wonderful"
e. e. cummings 🌿
::
T.S. Eliot called April the cruelest month for a reason; her
moods are mercurial. It’s a time of joy & darkness.
::
It’s seedling time, wild greens time, blossom time, cleaning
time. It’s a moment to tie up loose ends, to take care of lingering things
you’ve been putting off. Call that friend (or your mom) you’ve been meaning to
visit with, finish that paperwork (congrats on your taxes, y’all), and put away
those winter clothes (not too far).
::
To settle in, be calmed, we must clear space and spring
clean. There’s a reason why this season invites us to sweep out our winter
nests. To clear out the dark season of inwardness and meditation, and make room
for the light.
::
@ladyursus always says that sweeping clears not just dirt,
but energy, because energy clings to matter. Sweeping is her meditation, her
sacred practice. That’s a great thing to consider as we move from room to room,
moving old energy ahead of us, bringing in new energy in the form of fresh
flowers & herbs.
::
I always tell folks in class of the Celtic & Bavarian
myth that we must spring clean in April so that The May Queen will come! Then
in May we’re not allowed to sweep, as spring settles in, and makes a home for
summer.
::
Seriously y’all, if we don’t get to cleaning, spring will
never come!
