A DIVOted Talk on Seasonal Shifts, Inner Forecasts & Conscious Self-Regulation
💬 Quote from the Episode:
“Sometimes the signs are subtle, sometimes they’re loud — but when you learn your own weather patterns, you suffer a whole lot less.”
🌐 Description:
In this episode, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores the deep parallels between external weather patterns and our internal Ayurvedic climates. As an Arctic cold front approaches Greensboro, Nicholas reflects on how temperature, dryness, wind, and seasonal shifts affect not only the hot yoga studio, but each of us on the doshic level.
From managing heat and humidity in the studio to recognizing when compassion is low and irritability is high, this episode reveals how self-awareness becomes the ultimate form of preventative medicine. Nicholas explains why our “inner forecast” matters just as much as the real one — and how meditation, yoga, and intuitive observation help us avoid unnecessary conflict, exhaustion, and reactive decision-making.
📌 Show Notes:
In this episode you’ll hear about:
How winter qualities (cold, dry, windy) impact vata, kapha, and your inner homeostasis
Why external measurement tools (weather apps, scans, forecasts) matter but only in tandem with embodied intuition
How a yoga studio mirrors the human body’s regulation challenges
Prodromal signs in Ayurveda and how nature gives “early warnings” too
The subtle awareness that lets you know “I don’t have compassion today — I need boundaries”
Why withdrawing or pausing can prevent harm, shame, or unnecessary conflict
How meditation and yoga purify perception so you can respond, not react
🔑 Highlights:
🌬️ External climate always interacts with internal climate — dosha meets weather.
🪟 Awareness acts like a window: clean it, and you see life clearly.
🔥 Sometimes self-regulation is choosing not to show up.
🌿 Ayurveda emphasizes early signs: the body and nature whisper before they shout.
🧘 Consciousness → clarity → better outcomes.
💭 Reflection Prompt:
What early signs — internal or external — do you tend to ignore, even though they always predict how the day will unfold?
🥣 Practice Prompt:
Choose one small regulation: more warmth, more moisture, more grounding, more space. Feel how it changes your “inner weather.”
