Regular meditation helps to maintain physical health, relieves pain and anxiety, and has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional background. Meditation can have different effects and results depending on the time of day. When is the best time to meditate?
Morning is the time of awakening and activation of forces
Most of those people who actively practice meditation are of the opinion that the best time for spiritual practice and self-development is in the morning. The ideal period is two hours before sunrise, when nature and the world around them are still awakening, are in a sweet dormant state. However, meditating at dawn and a couple of hours after sunrise can also be very beneficial. Such meditative practices not only help to tune in to a harmonious state, but also awaken, charge with energy and strength.
Morning meditations should be the longest in time. They allow you to quickly fall into the desired state, to feel inner peace. After the morning practice, the day will be easy and positive. At the same time, it is not necessary to meditate somewhere in nature or in a special place at home; you can do meditation right in bed.
If a person has had a hard and sleepless night, meditation at sunrise, in the early morning hours, will make you feel better and a little more invigorated. Meditation in the morning "clears" the mind, clarifies the mind.
Day is a time of turmoil and anxiety
It is not forbidden to meditate during the day. On the contrary, "falling out" for 15-30 minutes from the daily rush allows you to reboot the brain, replenish lost strength, and feel a surge of energy. It is useful to meditate during the daytime when the head is attacked by dozens of unresolved issues, when it is necessary to find ways out of problem situations. However, daytime meditations can be tricky, especially for a beginner. It is extremely difficult at such a time of day to completely disconnect from the surrounding world, which is moving, vibrating, filled with sounds, emotions of other people. There are too many annoying and distracting factors around that can prevent you from relaxing normally and reaching a meditative state.
You do not need to immerse yourself in meditation during the day for a long time. Long day meditation can play a negative role, cause a surge of anxiety and anxiety due to the fact that the mind is loaded with daily activities, that there is a lot to do, but the person does nothing. However, pausing your entire life during the daytime can refresh your mind and take a fresh look at any current tasks.
Evening - time for relaxation and summing up
Evening meditation can become a kind of ritual that will help get rid of the physical or psycho-emotional stress that has accumulated in the body and mind during the day. Such meditation practices are especially relevant after hard and active days, they are suitable for people experiencing any stressful situations. During meditation in the evening, the brain "lays out" the past hours on the shelves of the event, gets rid of the unnecessary and superfluous.
If you meditate in the evening, at sunset, or just after sunset, you can prepare your body and mind to go to sleep. Meditation can help you relax properly. In situations where you need to be active in the evening or at night, meditation after a working day will help to replenish strength, invigorate, and energize.
Night is a time of silence
Night meditations are not very common and popular. After all, the night is still the time that a person should take to sleep. Without proper sleep, no meditation, even a very deep and prolonged one, will be able to maintain the human body in the right tone for a long time.
Meditating at night can be pleasant and comfortable. In the darkness and silence, the world freezes, there is no fuss and bustle. At night, meditation can often help you deal with anxiety, tension in the body, and the flow of thoughts that make it difficult to fall asleep. In addition, after meditative practice, a person may have very pleasant and vivid dreams, or there may be such dreams in which the dreamer will be able to find answers to his questions that are troubling him, to find ways to solve some problems.
