Brahma Muhurtam (Perfect Timing for Meditation and Spiritual practices)

 


Spiritual activities performed early in the morning have a greater effect than in any other part of the day.

Each muhurtam lasts 48 minutes, and therefore the Brahma muhurtam begins 1 hour and 36 minutes before sunrise, and ends 48 minutes before sunrise.

Brahma muhurtam is a period of two muhurtas (2x 48minute )
The time of sunrise varies each day, according to geographic location and time of year, thus the time of the Brahma muhurtam also varies. For example, if sunrise is at 6am, the brahma muhurtam begins at 4:24am. If sunrise is at 7am, brahma muhurta begins at 5:24am, and so on.

Potential of Brahma Muhurtam
At this time, a high level of prana (vital life energy) which is necessary for the body is adequately present in the atmosphere. The pollution is at its minimum. The cheerful atmosphere has a considerable effect on the body and mind. In Sanskrit, the daily routine is called as Dinacharya. ‘Din’ means 'day' and ‘acharya’ means 'to follow' or 'close to'. So, Dinacharya is an ideal daily schedule taking into account the nature’s cycle.
This time offers the possibility to become the “Brahman” or creator, and to make yourself the way you want to be...

If we consider the night as the period from sunset to sunrise, then the last quarter of the night is the Brahma Muhurtam time

What Happens During Brahma Muhurtam?
The nature of the planet’s relationship with the sun and moon is such that certain physiological changes happen in the human system at this time. Medical science has even found that the waste material in your body, such as your urine for example, has certain qualities at that time which it does not have at any other time of the day.
There is substantial research into this. The entire body is in a certain conducive atmosphere, and there is a natural production of what is called melatonin, which is a secretion of the pineal gland. We want to make use of this because the pineal gland is secreting at its maximum during Brahma Muhurtam, which means you can stabilize.

In modern medicine, melatonin is seen as a mood stabilizer.

Human-Being or Human-Doing???

Image
  Difference between a Human-Being and a Human-Doing? Sounds weird to you!!! Well, ask yourself the question as to what is the most fundamental part of a Human? Is it to Be, or to Do? Let me help you on that a bit. When you are Doing- its action, its consequences, its movement. When you are Being - its stillness, its thoughts, its experience of your senses, its your Self. When you are Doing, there will be an outcome to what you are doing, or have done or are thinking of doing. When you are Being, its just you in your Being state. Experiencing yourself, down to basics, back to your own awareness, your breathe. To find Happiness, BE in the Being, than in the Doing. Might be difficult to start, but try to persevere and see the magic of your SELF unfold.

Love of a child

Image
  This morning I was out running and I came across this mother cycling and seated behind her was her maybe 15 month baby girl. One of the prettiest baby girl I have seen. Her mum cycled past me but this child kept looking back at me so I waved at her. Once, twice, no answer. But the third wave had her answering back with a shy smile and a cute little wave. Than I blew her a flying kiss and she did the same back to me. She was all smiles and there was so much innocence and love in her gesture. This little angel made my day today. If only all humans can remain child like forever. Or have a child inside them which pushes them to be spontaneously loving and not doubting anything when you want to show love. I took her as my sign for today from the ONE above and my heart is filled with so much gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
