(#81) Seasonal Transitions & Somatic Rituals: Honoring the Shift and Self-Regulating from Spring to Summer

Somatic Healing for Wellness-Focused Women

In this episode, we explore the transition between spring and summer as a powerful metaphor for personal growth, energy shifts, and nervous system rhythms. Drawing from 5 Element Theory, I’ll guide you through how seasonal transitions impact the body, emotions, and your inner landscape and how you can move through them with more presence and self-trust. This is an episode you can return back to when you're experiencing any kind of transition.

You’ll learn:
🌱 The energetics of Wood Season (Spring) and Fire Season (Summer)—and what each represents in your body and life
🌱 Somatic signs you're resisting a transition—like fatigue, burnout, and overcommitting
🌱 A personal story of resistance and recovery—how throwing out my back reminded me to slow down and listen
🌱 A full ritual practice for navigating seasonal shifts:

• Breathwork (2:1 and halo active)
• Cacao ceremony (I like to use Ora Cacao)
• Meditation (Insight Timer App)
• Journaling prompts and affirmations to support your release and renewal

💭 Journal Prompts:

• What does this transition want to teach me?
• What feels complete?
• What am I ready to release to feel lighter this summer?

🌞 Affirmations to support you during the transition:

• I am safe to not know what’s next
• What I release creates space for what is in my higher alignment
• Every “no” brings me back to alignment

This episode is here to remind you: there’s no rush through the transition. Whether you're moving from one season to another or through a life shift, the tools shared here will help you anchor into your body and your truth.
