Episode 4

Episode #4 Ritusandhi is the junction between the seasons, where there’s confusion in nature and this leads to confusion in our body. Ayurveda recommends cleansing at this time to prevent the accumulation of toxins that can lead to illness and to hit the ‘reset’ button, helping the body with this transition by:

• Nurturing the body with easy digestible foods
• Eliminating stored toxins in the fat cells
• Clearing the blocked channels of the body
• Preventing toxins from accumulating in the body
• Bringing calm to the mind and nervous system
• Tuning into the Circadian rhythms
• Rejuvenating the body/mind post-cleanse
• Restoring balance, clarity and energy!

 In this episode, Colette discusses the Ayurvedic concept of Ama (toxins) and how accumulating ama is the bedrock of dis-ease in the body and mind. She’ll also discuss;

• Signs of ama in your body/mind
• How to prevent ama
• How to treat ama
• The importance of seasonal cleansing to prevent the build up of ama...

Episode 3

Episode #3 Colette will discuss how the doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha appear in each season. We generally think of the seasons as spring, summer, fall and winter, however, Ayurveda teaches us that it’s not the calendar but Nature that determines which dosha will be influenced:

• Vata season is fall/autumn and early winter
• Pitta season is summer
• Kapha season is late winter and spring

 Due to the changes in the seasons, the doshas go through the cycle of accumulation, aggravation and pacification and this can have a big impact on our body and mind due to the Ayurvedic principle of ‘like increases like and opposites balance.’

Therefore, each person needs to be aware of which season has the same qualities as their predominant dosha. For example, a person who has a high vata constitution will have a tendency to go out of balance in vata season of fall and early winter. During this time, this individual needs to be focused and disciplined in their...
