Why Early Morning Is Called Brahma Muhurtam

  • The early morning window between about 3:30 and sunrise is called Brahma Muhurtam because the pineal gland's secretion peaks then.
  • Sadhguru explains this peak creates a natural mood-stabilizing ease, making it an optimal time to sit for spiritual practices.
ADVICE

Use Brahma Muhurtam For Daily Inner Stabilization

  • Use the Brahma Muhurtam period to stabilize your inner state by sitting and doing spiritual processes for maximal benefit.
  • Sadhguru advises that aligning practice with this natural ease helps you become the way you want yourself to be.
INSIGHT

Morning Ease As A Chance To Create Yourself

  • Being 'at ease' during this time means you are not fluctuating emotionally but in a stabilized mood state, which modern medicine calls a mood stabilizer.
  • Sadhguru frames this as an opportunity to 'create yourself'—to intentionally shape who you become in the morning.
