Cuffing Season 2026: How to Align Your Chakras and Find Internal Connection

February 11, 2026

Confused by 'Cuffing Season'? Learn why this Gen Z dating trend is the perfect time to pivot to self-love and chakra balancing. Discover how Distance Reiki can help you find connection as the Ontario snow melts

If you’ve heard the term “Cuffing Season” lately and felt a little out of the loop, you’re not alone. I recently had a hilarious "generational gap" moment with a Gen Z client in my Burlington Ontario studio. While I initially thought it was something much more... adult, I quickly learned it's the modern term for finding a short-term partner to survive the cold winter months.

But as the snow begins to melt here in Ontario, a bigger truth is emerging: the most important person to "cuff" yourself to isn't a temporary partner it's your own soul.

What is Cuffing Season and Why Does it Matter?

Traditionally, Cuffing Season begins in October and ends just after Valentine’s Day. It’s driven by a human desire for connection and warmth during the isolation of winter. However, for many, these short-term partnerships can lead to blocked chakras and energetic burnout.

Healing Your Chakras During the Winter-to-Spring Transition

As the Ontario snow melts, it’s the perfect time for an energetic spring cleaning (download BTS Spring Day to put you in the mood). If you’ve spent the winter looking outward for connection, your internal energy might be stagnant.

Root Chakra: Are you seeking security in others instead of yourself?
Heart Chakra: Is your heart open to self-love, or just "placeholder" love?
Sacral Chakra: Is your creative spark buried under winter blues?

What is distance reiki?

Distance Reiki is basically like a wireless charging pad for your soul, but make it Bluetooth. You don’t even have to leave your bed or pause your rot day. My client just hops on a call usually via mobile, sometimes zoom or facetime. We set an intention and then send those high-vibe frequencies straight to the client's energy field from wherever they are. It’s giving quantum physics meets spa day. It literally clears out the brain fog and heals chakras so one can stop spiraling and actually get some 'no-phone-in-sight' deep sleep. And, warmth without a cuff. Honestly, it’s the ultimate life hack for your 'era' of peace -- 10/10, no notes.
