"Mornings are the time to inculcate a passion"
"Morning is the time when nature sends out its most delicate messages, and you are most sensitive to them. Your nervous system has been built in a way that the sight of dawn, the still air on your skin, the faint sounds of birds and animals awakening” all set the state for renewal. Listen to what is happening around you. Be alert to the slightest influence; the whole body is silent and poised in a delicate balance.
When you wake up, you feel alert and clearheaded. It indicates that your nervous system is ready to be renewed. It is harmful to disturb or ignore this one opportunity to be naturally recreated. Mornings are a time to inculcate a passion, this will help you achieve the extraordinary in life. Use early morning as a time to tune into your core self. The core self is where deep fulfillment arises from. If you wish to map out the ideal way to start your day, it would arrange itself naturally around the following pivotal points:
Wake up without an alarm clock
Drink a glass of warm water (to encourage regular morning bowel movements)
Brush your teeth
Clean your tongue if coated
Massage your body with sesame oil
Bathe (in warm water, not too hot or cold)
Exercise or do surya namaskar
Do yoga
Practise balanced breathing, meditate
Eat your breakfast
Take a mid-morning walk (for half an hour).
