• See Seasonal Dosha-Balancing for information and planning related to pitta seasons in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Pitta in Balance

Pitta is a mix of fire and water.

• Discrimination is developed between what is for the best and what is desired.
• The mind develops consideration for all aspects of life, free of anger.
• In balance, you want to serve others, giving freely in volunteer projects that elevate the community.
