Colette explores how summer, a season of heat, light, and intensity can support sadhana, your conscious spiritual practice. Sadhana refers to any intentional, disciplined effort we make to align with our higher Self, whether that’s through meditation, mantra, prayer, mindful movement, self-inquiry, or acts of devotion.

She explains how we can harness our inner fire (tapas) and creative light (tejas) to align more deeply with purpose. It’s an opportunity to live in alignment with our unique path (dharma).

Colette covers the following:

• Avoiding summer stress and burnout.
• Understanding tapas - the sacred inner fire.
• Summer as a season for sadhana.
• Tejas - the light of creative insight.
• Aligning with Soul purpose.

Summer, with all its brightness and intensity, is a time when Pitta can easily go out of balance, even for those who don’t have a Pitta constitution. And when we don’t know the signs of imbalance or we ignore them, it can lead to everything from digestive issues and skin flare-ups to burnout, irritability and emotional overload.

In this solo episode, Colette shares some of the most supportive Ayurvedic insights and tools to help you manage Pitta during the summer months. Whether you’re naturally fiery or just feeling the heat of the season, you’ll come away with practical ways to stay cool, calm, and balanced all summer long. Colette discusses the following:

• Understanding the Pitta dosha.
• Why Summer aggravates the Pitta dosha.
• The importance of seasonal awareness.
• Dietary guidelines for Pitta in Summer.
• Lifestyle and daily routine adjustments.
• Adjusting your exercise during the hot weather.
