The ideal time for engaging oneself in meditation is Brahma Muhurtham, that is, the period commencing at 3 a.m. and ending with 6 a.m. early in the morning. Brahma Muhurtham literally means the time of Brahman. You must choose a fixed time for meditation during the Brahma Muhurtham and meditate regularly at the same time every day.
A period of the day is called by the ancient Rishis as the “Hour of Brahman” -- Brahma muhurtha. In the early hours of the morning sandhya, the sky emits a pale bluish light or halo in the east. These Bluish rays coming from the east contain subtle awakening magnetism(Akarshana Shakthi), which affects the brain. These dawn rays of a bluish hue have also got a soothing effect on the body. Also, the morning air is fully charged with Prana or vital energy( less pollutants in the air). This living electricity is what the body cells require for sustaining good health. This Prana is what the Yogi requires for charging his six Yogic centers during the Sandhya Vandana of Gayathri.
- This might explain why you must have felt productive especially during the first part of day before the sun arises.I know that it's the best time for performing meditation.Even dedicated work is considered to be a form of Yoga (Karma Yoga).
Apologizes if I am trying to bring the topic of Yoga here. |
To me getting up early in the morning does actually feel spiritual
It feels like i am totally in tune with myself, before the noise of the world grabs my attention.
