You
all must have heard the age old mantra of health…I remember granny
used to say it often when I was a kid, “Dear! Early to bed, early
to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”. The mantra of
health is by heart to all of us, but life in actual is just the
reverse…late to bed and struggling to rise…is making me sluggish,
obese and imprecise.
Reality
is that it is not just a saying, but actually it encapsulates a deep
science within. Our body is just like an alarm clock, pre-programmed
with alarms for eating, drinking and sleeping. Scientist call this
the action of biological clock which determines the activity pattern
of an organism. It is this biological clock which determines whether
you are a nocturnal creature or a diurnal creature. Everything your
energy, your health, your activity is defined by this biological
clock.
I
know the question knocking at your brain is “Ok! I agree but whowants to sleep late…what do I do of my busy schedule.”
Agreed!
But again Ayurveda shows us the way out. Remember those rishis
sitting in meditation, the meditating pose of Mahatma Buddha, friends
it’s not that they did not have work, infact they had missions like
healing the world, establishing peace. They lead simple lives with
basic minimum resources. Today we lead luxurious lives but yet our
health is surrounded with question marks. Why such a difference? They
had the art of managing their biological rhythm. It’s like you can
wound or unwound your watch on your own to make it indicate the
perfect time always. Likewise Ayurveda prescribes this supreme art-
the art of meditation, regular practise of which can reduce your
sleep cycle and keep you healthy even in your busy schedules.
Ah!
Thinking what’s new in this I knew this already…
No
friends closing your eyes and sitting in lotus posture is not
meditation...Then what is it??
Stay
hooked to know what the real art of meditation is!
