“In the heat of light, we must learn to cool the fire.”
As the sun reaches its highest point and summer envelopes us in warmth, there’s an ancient invitation stirring: to align with nature, to honour the season, and to tend to our inner fire.
☀️ The Pitta Season: Fire, Focus & the Need for Balance
In Ayurveda, summer is governed by Pitta dosha, made up of fire and water. This is the season of action, passion, transformation — but also of burnout, irritation, and excess heat (physically, mentally, and emotionally).
🌿 The Wisdom of Cooling Habits
To thrive in Pitta season, Ayurveda guides us to:
- Eat fresh, seasonal, cooling foods (like cucumbers, mint, coconut, melons).
- Avoid spicy, fried, or overly salty dishes.
- Wake with the sun, but avoid pushing too hard during peak heat (10am–2pm).
- Enjoy gentle yoga with open, flowing movements and deep, cooling breaths.
- Spend time in nature, shade, and water — barefoot grounding is especially healing.
🌕 New Moon, New You
The new moon arriving later this June invites us to shed what no longer serves. It’s a beautiful time to reset your inner compass and begin again — gently, intentionally.

“Summer teaches us to shine, yes. But it also teaches us to soften, to surrender, and to seek balance.”
Stay cool, stay radiant. 🌿
