Clock - Living
In nature, there are two 12-hour cycles that are each divided into three smaller cycles.
Each 4-hour cycle is linked to certain bodily
functions governed by vata (air) which controls the nervous system, pitta (fire), which controls digestion and metabolism, and kapha (earth and water), which controls immunity and structural strength.
Understanding how to connect a daily routine to these cycles is powerful.
First 12 Hours of
the Day:
6am-6pm
6am - 10am - Kapha increases.
This is the best time for exercise and physical labor before the sun is giving its peak heat.
Kapha is heavy and supports greater physical strength.
10am - 2pm - Pitta increases
This is the best time of the day to eat your biggest meal, as the pitta or digestive fire is the strongest in the middle of the day.
2pm - 6pm - Vata increases
This is the best time for mental and creative energy, as the nervous system is more active
Craving sweets at this time indicates exhaustion, blood sugar issues, poor digestion or that you didn't eat a sufficient lunch.
Second 12 Hours of
the Day: 6pm-6am
6pm - 10pm - Kapha increases
This is the best time to begin settling down for sleep. Kapha is heavy, and with cortisol levels dropping at this time, you should
be getting sleepy!
10pm - 2am - Pitta increases
This is the best time to be sleeping. The liver (pitta) engages in detox at this time (like a janitor cleanina floors and windows). If
you are constantly up and awake during this time, the detox can be disturbed.
2am - 6am - Vata increases,
The nervous system begins to stir during this time before the sun rises. This is the best time to sleep deeply and naturally wake
up before the sunrise.
Conclusion
Understanding how we have lost our connection to nature is the first step in restoring optimal health. Connect your cellular clocks (we have about 100 trillion
of them) with the natural ebb and flow of nature's cycles, and you will live a life of balance and vitality
