With the help of simple healthy routines, one can clean the body and mind, balance doshas, strengthen immunity and start the day on a refreshing and rejuvenating note. Following a simple routine in the morning will help you start the day on a blissful note. Here is your guide to a refreshing morning:Brahma mahurata One should wake up about one and a half hour before sunrise so that you can synchronize yourself with the rhythm of sun. Ayurveda recommends an auspicious time — Brahma-mahurata which means ‘the time of Brahma’, the pure consciousness, for arising in the morning.About an hour and a half before the sunrise, there is a great shift in energy in space — it is filled with energy. Then, about half an hour before sunrise, a second boom of energy takes place in the atmosphere. Hope, inspiration and peace manifest at this time. This time is considered best for attaining bhram gyan (meditation and self analysis), supreme knowledge and eternal happiness. At this time, the environment is pure and calm and soothing and the mind is fresh after sleep.Meditation at this time improves mental performance thus helps in increasing satva guna, subduing mental irritation or hyperactivity as well as lethargy, which are the nature of rajas and tamas gunas.Power of breathCheck the flow of your breath: through which nostril is your breath flowing more strongly? According to Ayurveda, the right nostril is solar - pitta - and the left nostril is lunar - kapha. The right side of the brain controls creative activity while the left side controls logical verbal activity. According to research, when one breathes through the left nostril, then the right side of the brain is more pre-dominant and vice versa. Positive vibrations Follow the ancient tradition of observing the lines in your palms and remember the Goddesses of Wealth, Knowledge and Power. Rub the fingertips with your thumbs in a circular soothing rhythm — right clockwise circles and then left anticlockwise circles. Rub the palms using fingertips and then turn the right wrist clockwise and the left wrist anticlockwise. First kiss the palm of that side of your body where the flow of breath is stronger, then kiss the other palm. (Kissing confers energy. By kissing your palm, you give your best vibrations to your most effective tool for self-expression.) Rub both hands together and move the palms slowly over your face, covering head, shoulders, arms, and legs, creating an energy shield which wards off negative influences for the whole day.
