Winter is a time to go inward, vision, replenish, and rest. Through the lens of Ayurveda, the earth and water elements are predominant, reminding us that everything is connected.
Ayurveda teaches us that all living things maintain a balance of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether, categorized into three doshas—Kapha, Pitta, and Vata.
The qualities of earth and water in winter suggest heaviness and calm, while dryness can impart feelings of isolation, influenced by air and ether that represent intellect.
Understanding how seasons influence our emotions helps us manage our responses; for instance, if one is cold and dry, they will need to adjust differently than someone who feels warm.
