The reality is that in modern, urban life, it is difficult for many
people to wake up early. Yet, it is easy for others. Why? Āyurveda tells us
that if our bodies are laden with residues and toxins (aama), its natural ability to rise with the sun will be hampered;
Just as the sun cannot be seen on a cloudy morning, so we cannot find our fire
when we are clouded with toxins. Waking after 7am is a sign that your body has
excess toxins. Use this signal to cleanse yourself, and as you cleanse, watch
how you spontaneously waken earlier.
Healthy children over four years of age wake up annoyingly early and
energized to start the day of exploring and learning….
