Waking Up Your Energy This Spring

As winter slowly turns into spring, many of us start to feel a little heavier, slower, or more congested—physically and emotionally. You might notice low motivation, stubborn fatigue, allergies, or that foggy feeling that’s hard to shake. In Ayurveda, this time of year is known as Kapha season, and what you’re feeling is actually very normal.

Kapha is made up of earth and water. It’s the energy that gives us stability, strength, and emotional steadiness. When Kapha is in balance, we feel calm, loving, patient, and supported. But during late winter and early spring, Kapha naturally increases in the body. That’s when we can start to feel weighed down—more mucus, sluggish digestion, heaviness in the chest, or a desire to sleep more and do less.

A Simple Path to Inner Balance & Steady Energy

Chakra Meditation is one of my favorite practices to weave into yoga, breathwork, and daily self-care. It’s gentle, accessible, and incredibly effective at bringing harmony to your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re working with an imbalanced dosha or simply craving clarity and grounding, chakra work offers a beautiful way to reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Let’s explore the basics so you can begin practicing with confidence and ease.

How Breathwork Supports Your Mind, Body & Doshas

In Ayurveda and Yoga, the breath is so much more than a physical function—it’s our most accessible tool for healing. Pranayama, the ancient practice of conscious breath regulation, helps us steady the mind, nourish the nervous system, and guide our energy (prana) toward balance.

Whether you’re brand-new to pranayama or looking to deepen your practice, these simple techniques can support your daily well-being and help you align with your natural Ayurvedic constitution.

Take a moment to arrive. Settle into a comfortable seat and let your body soften. Allow your breath to fall into its own natural rhythm. Feel your heart growing a little more open with each inhale, a little more at ease with each exhale.

As you settle, begin by honoring the simple truth that you’ve shown up for your own life—year after year, breath after breath. Let yourself acknowledge all that has supported you along the way.

Silently reflect:

With gratitude, I remember the people, animals, plants, and unseen forces of nature—earth, water, fire, air, and space—that bless my life every single day.
With gratitude, I remember the wisdom, love, and labor of the generations who came before me.
I offer gratitude for this beautiful Earth that holds me.
I offer gratitude for the health and resilience my body carries.
I offer gratitude for my family and friends who walk beside me.
I offer gratitude for my community, near and far.
I offer gratitude for the teachings, lessons, and teachers who have shaped me.
I offer gratitude for this sacred life I’ve been given.

In Ayurveda, healing begins with energy. Long before modern anatomy mapped the body, ancient sages of India identified vital energy points—Marma points—where body, mind, and spirit meet. These sacred points form the foundation of Marma Therapy, a gentle yet profoundly transformative healing practice that restores balance and awakens your inner vitality.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be completing my Marma Therapy training at the California College of Ayurveda this month. Beginning December 2025, I’ll be offering this beautiful Ayurvedic healing practice to the community.
