Information

Many spiritual traditions emphasize the importance of rising early during this time to cultivate a deeper sense of awareness, devotion, and clarity. Brahmamuhurta is a Sanskrit term that translates to "the time of Brahman" or "the divine hour." It consists of the two muhurtas (time periods of 48 minutes) beginning 96 minutes before sunrise. Traditionally, this time is considered highly auspicious for spiritual practices, meditation, yoga, and self-reflection due to its unique qualities and benefits. Brahmamuhurtha is an auspicious time to rise, early in the morning in yogic tradition for prayer, meditation, and other spiritual practices.

Brahmamuhurtha can be considered to be a time for devotion to the Creator God, but it can also be seen as a time for the human to Create him or herself for the day. Who do I want to be today?

This time is said to be beneficial for spiritual practice because the energy of the world is pure and calm, and the mind is peaceful and sattvic, aiding in meditative practices. During this period, the mind is calm and less distracted, making it easier to connect with one’s inner self and engage in spiritual practices.

Many practitioners of yoga and meditation incorporate rituals during Brahmamuhurta, such as physical exercise, meditation, prayer, or journaling, to set intentions for the day ahead.

Mental & Physical Health

In Ayurveda, Brahmamuhurtha coincides with the Vata time of day. The benefits of rising during this time include health and long life. Ayurvedic practices recommend aligning daily routines with natural rhythms, and rising during Brahmamuhurta is seen as a way to harmonize with the body’s circadian rhythms.

Waking up during Brahmamuhurta can lead to improved physical and mental health. It allows individuals to start their day with mindfulness, promoting a positive mindset and increased focus.
