WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE
One of my favourite passions is watching the sunrise, a low-cost adventure you can experience almost anywhere. No event is more reliable; the sun will rise every day. All you have to do is rise with her. (I know, this can be the most challenging for the majority; it may mean a complete lifestyle change. Trust yourself and leap! You will be amazed by the results.)
Waking up early in the morning is a crucial part of all the traditional meditation practices; the time between 3.30 and 6 am called the "ambrosial hours", is considered the prime time for meditating.
Furthermore, it has many benefits for our mental and physical health. To catalyse your motivation, I collected the most impressive effects of regular sunrise meditation:
You will experience an increase in your:
- productivity; you will be eager to act towards your daily goals
- mindfulness, you will be in the present most of the time
- gratitude; you will be able to perceive all the values of your life and feel thankful for them
- happiness and fulfilment: you will feel like a vivid part of the whole universe
- libido: the quality and expansion of your sexual energy will rise
You will be protected from:
- SAD ( Seasonal Affective Disorder), depression and mood swings
- Anxiety and emotional distress
- Immune dysfunctions and the incidence of viral infections
- Prevalence of significant diseases like some cancers, osteoporosis, cardiovascular symptoms, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, tooth decay
All you have to do is wake up 45 minutes before sunrise, keep journaling your dreams and gratitudes, then grab a cup of hot drink and head to the closest sunrise-watching spot. Sit in a meditation position with an open mind and soul. Let the sun do the rest for you.
