    Ayurveda + Honouring Our Circadian Rhythm

    Ayurveda teaches us to sync our daily routines with the natural rhythm of the universe


    At the heart of this wisdom lies the concept of "circadian rhythm," our body's internal clock that governs various physiological processes.


    Let's delve into the beauty of Ayurveda and its profound connection with our circadian rhythm!


    Rise with the Sun: In Ayurveda, the early morning hours are considered precious. Greet the day with gratitude and catch those first rays of sunlight! This boosts our energy, improves mood, and sets the tone for a harmonious day ahead.


    According to Ayurveda, Brahmamuhurta (1hour and 36 minutes before sunrise) is considered the most auspicious time for spiritual practices such as meditation, chanting, prayer, mantra and yoga.


    Nourishing Morning Rituals: Start your morning with a warm cup of herbal tea, like ginger or tulsi, to kindle your digestive fire (Agni). This aids digestion and paves the way for balanced well-being throughout the day.


    Respect Your Digestive Power: Ayurveda emphasizes having the largest meal at lunch when Agni is at its peak. This ensures proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Keep dinner light and have it at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.


    Embrace Quality Sleep: A well-rested body and mind are essential for optimal health. Ayurveda suggests winding down before bedtime, limiting screen time, and creating a peaceful sleep sanctuary to support a deep, rejuvenating slumber.


    Midday Break & Mindfulness: Honour your circadian rhythm with a midday break. Step outside, connect with nature, or indulge in a short meditation session to recharge your energy and focus. 


    Movement & Exercise: Take a mindful stroll, practice yoga, or engage in activities that bring joy and vitality to your day! 


    Seasonal Nutrition: Ayurveda highlights the significance of eating seasonal, locally sourced foods. This practice helps us stay in harmony with nature's cycles and supports our body's unique requirements in different seasons.


    Embrace the Night: As the day winds down, prepare for a peaceful night's rest. Dim the lights, engage in calming activities like reading or journaling, and let go of the day's stresses.


    Embrace these time-honoured practices, and watch your well-being bloom!
