- The Ambrosial Hour
When you sleep on time, your body automatically gets charged up and lets you wake on time as well. According to Ayurveda, the ideal time to wake up is pre-dawn. You can also rise with the sun. Predawn is also considered auspicious and is dominated by Vata dosha- subtle energy that helps to get out of bed easily. Waking up after the sunrise, a time dominated by Kapha dosha makes you feel sluggish. As you wake up, stretch your body and drink at least one glass of water (prefer lukewarm). The process activates the internal organs and supports proper functioning of it. It also helps to have a smooth bowel movement. - Clear the Stomach
Empty your colon and eliminate toxins and other water from the body through urination and anal excretion. Go easy with the natural process and do not hold the pressure to prevent imbalance in the body functioning. Your digestion should be in good condition for the overall well-being. - Rinse and Cleanse for Better Health
Performing cleansing techniques are required to get rid of germs, dust, and congestion that build-up overnight. So it is recommended to perform Shat Kriyas- Jal Neti for nasal cleaning, eye and face cleaning. You can learn these kriyas under the guidance of an expert during Yoga teacher training Nepal or India. The next step is to work towards maintaining the mount hygiene. Brush your teeth; you can even use a twig for cleaning your teeth. Scrape your tongue with a tongue scraper and work to get rid of the build up plaque. Tongue health is important for healthy digestion where the good condition of teeth prevents heart diseases.
