Home Dincharya – A Routine

1.
Brahma Muharte Utishthami
(Wake Up Early in the Morning)

It is good to wake up before the sun rises when there are loving (sattvic) qualities in nature that bring peace of mind and freshness to the senses.

Sunrise varies according to the seasons,

but average Vata people should get up about 6 a.m.,

pitta people by 5:30 a.m.,

Kapha by 4:30 a.m.

Right after waking, look at your hands for a few moments, then gently move them over your face and chest down to the waist. This cleans the aura.

A healthy individual should wake up approximately 96 minutes before sunrise to stay healthy. Brahma means knowledge. The time to seek knowledge is called as Brāhmi Muhūrta.

 

Reason: We humans have an internal clock that maintains a cycle of events at a 24-hour interval. It is found that the body temperature is minimum at 5:00 AM, the sleep-inducing hormone Melatonin is at its minimum level at the day time and also the hormone Cortisol that helps to withstand stress and traumas in life is secreted more at this time.

Moreover, the level of nascent oxygen is 40% in the environment at this time, so the more one is awake at this time, the more oxygen one gets and the more healthy all the tissues function in one’s body, as our bodily functions require oxygen for every process. waking up at this time keeps one’s body in sync with the environment and our bodily changes too. Hence, do wake up in Brāhm Muhūrta.
