Morning Wisdom
Sep 14, 2025
How did the start of your day feel today?
Through the lens of Ayurveda, we see mornings as more than just the start of the day, they are a sacred window of possibility. The first few moments after you wake are when your mind is receptive, your body is awakening, and your energy is ready to be shaped for the day ahead.
Ayurveda teaches us that aligning with the rhythms of nature, especially in the morning, supports balance, clarity, and vitality throughout the day (it’s even proven by modern science). That’s why we encourage beginning your morning with small, intentional choices that nurture both body and mind (before getting on your phone).
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some basic steps to put you into aligned flow for the day ahead:
- Wake before the sunrise, allowing your body to sync with the emerging light.
- Offer gratitude for the gift of this new day (it is not guaranteed).
- Scrape your tongue to gently awaken your digestion.
- Splash cold water on your face 7 times.
- Drink 16-32 ounces of warm water (feel free to add a splash of lemon, lime, or apple cider vinegar) to flush out toxins, hydrate after a night’s rest, and hopefully initiate a bowel movement.
- Sit for 2-5 minutes in silence and focus on lengthening your exhales.
These practices create a ripple effect, improving your mood, focus, energy, and resilience to support everything that follows.
Your first 10-15 minutes can either pull you into stress and distraction or set the stage for calm and clarity in the day ahead. The choice is yours. What could tomorrow morning look like if you began it with intention?
Give one or two of these suggestions a try and see how you feel.
