What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
“Each morning ritual is a symphony of mindfulness, weaving threads of gratitude and serenity into the tapestry of my day.”
– Krishna Moorthy M
The first light of dawn brings with it a sacred rhythm, a symphony of rituals that set the tone for my day ahead. Each morning is a canvas of mindfulness and tranquility, woven with practices that nourish my body, mind, and soul. Join me as I share the essence of my morning rituals and the sacred dance of the first hour of my day.
Emptying the Bowel with Salted Water
The journey of each day begins with a gentle cleanse, a ritual rooted in ancient wisdom. I start by emptying my bowel with salted water, a practice known for its detoxifying and purifying effects. This simple yet powerful act prepares my body for the day ahead, clearing away the remnants of yesterday and creating a clean slate for new beginnings.
Cleansing the Body with Warm Water
As the soothing warmth of water embraces me, I embark on a ritual of physical and spiritual rejuvenation. Cleansing my body with warm water not only refreshes the senses but also symbolizes a cleansing of the mind and spirit. With each droplet, I let go of tension, stress, and negativity, inviting a sense of renewal and vitality into my being.
Performing Sandhya Vandana
The sacred hour of dawn calls me to connect with the divine, to align my thoughts and intentions with the universal harmony. Sandhya Vandana, the ritual of worship performed at the juncture of day and night, holds profound significance in my spiritual journey. Through prayers, mantras, and meditative practices, I cultivate a deep sense of gratitude, humility, and inner peace.
Reading Shiva Sahasranama
In the stillness of the early morning, I immerse myself in the timeless wisdom of Shiva Sahasranama. Each name, each verse resonates with the essence of cosmic consciousness, guiding me on a path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. The sacred chants echo through the chambers of my heart, awakening devotion and reverence for the divine within and around me.
