01/23/15 How and in which direction to sleep with your head

  • 21.01.2022

It has long been proven that the phases of the moon affect well-being. The full moon can cause serious sleep disturbance in some people. But there is a way out. It is enough to hang thick curtains or blinds on the window. The bedroom should be well darkened, starting with the last phase of the waxing moon, since the bright moonlight itself can cause problems with sleep. On the eve of the full moon, spend a fasting day on juices or fruits. It is better if the juices are vegetable, and the fruits are not too sweet.

Man, like our planet, is endowed with various kinds of electric fields.

These fields are oriented in a certain way, and depending on the direction in which the head lies, they will coincide or will contradict the fields of the Earth.

Based on this, you should sleep with your head to the north. If the layout features do not allow you to sleep with your head to the north, it is permissible to install a bed with a headboard to the east, but not to the south or west.

Unfortunately, a full daytime sleep for most of us is a utopia. Although in pre-revolutionary Russia, daytime afternoon rest was the rule for both townspeople and peasants. The results of a study conducted at Harvard show that an hour of daytime sleep increases efficiency. Scientists came to this conclusion by analyzing the condition of 30 volunteers, each of whom performed 4 tests for attentiveness during the day. The subjects were divided into 3 groups: the first was allowed to sleep for an hour, the second for 30 minutes, and the third were not supposed to sleep between tests. The sleep-deprived ones performed worse on the third test, and on the last one it took them 1.5 times longer to get the correct answer than on the first. On the other hand, those who slept for an hour showed a higher result in the third test than in the second, and retained these indicators until the end of the day.

Night rest quite often does not allow a modern person to relax. It is widely recommended to avoid violations of posture in children and prevention of osteochondrosis in adults - to sleep on hard and hard. In this position, the human body touches the support only with separate parts - the head, shoulder blades, sacrum, lower leg, heels. The curvature of the spine is maintained by muscle tension. To remove it, you need to put a roller under the neck and lower back. No wonder our ancestors put a soft bedding or featherbed on a wooden even support (floor, couches, etc.).
The better the featherbed fit the contours of the body, the better the muscles relaxed, respectively, the night's rest was more complete.

What we sleep on can have a significant impact on our health. A good pillow should keep your head, neck and spine in line. Therefore, approach the purchase of a pillow thoroughly, even “try on” a pillow before buying. But whatever pillow you choose, you will have to say goodbye to it as soon as it loses its shape. Down pillows "live" on average 5-10 years; pillows stuffed with buckwheat husks - from 3 to 10 years, pillows made of contour foam rubber - only 2 years, and polyester ones are quite short-lived - a little more than 6 months.

Nature is arranged in such a way that a third of our life is spent sleeping. But in order for sleep to be healing and restorative, the following rules must be followed.

You need to remove the feather beds, you should sleep on a hard bed. Instead of a pillow, you need to put a roller as thick as a hand, of medium softness, under your neck. The roller helps complete relaxation, supports the cervical spine.

The main requirement for a toilet for sleeping is no belts, elastic bands that squeeze blood vessels. It is good to sleep without clothes. We do not wear caps and caps on our heads, as our ancestors did. But we must know that body temperature drops during sleep, and we can catch a cold. A cap or cap can perfectly protect against sinusitis and from the common cold.

In the west people go to bed with their heads to the north, and in the east they go to bed with their heads toward sunrise. The earth is like a big magnet and its lines of force stretch between the south and north poles. Because you need to sleep right. And in what position is it best for the body to restore strength?

Scientists have conducted an interesting experiment. The subjects voluntarily went to bed in the evening on the floor. And in the morning we analyzed how mood and well-being affected the location of the body. As a result, it turned out that a very tired person usually sleeps with his head to the east. If a person was very excited, then he is located with his head to the north. It is best to trust your instinct and let your body find the position it needs to sleep. You just need to create the right conditions.

Throughout the night, the position of the body changes more than once. But how should you sleep, correctly and in what position is best? Sleeping on your stomach is the most optimal for proper rest and relaxation.

Our therapists also advise sleeping on your stomach to straighten the intervertebral cartilage. In this position, nothing puts pressure on the kidneys, they effectively cleanse the body and flush out toxins from it. Gastroenterologists believe that sleeping on your stomach with an empty stomach is beneficial. When a person lies on his stomach or on his back, the bile flows into the stomach and corrodes the mucous membrane, so close to a stomach ulcer or gastritis. Sleep after dinner is good, but it should not last more than an hour.

It is better to have dinner four hours before bedtime. If this rule cannot be observed, it is recommended to sleep on your right side. In this posture, the stomach is protected the most from bile. Some parents teach their children to sleep on their right side, putting their hands under their right cheek. There is an opinion that in this way the palms soothe, relieve excitement.

In Tibet, the monk makes sure that all children sleep only on their left side. All day long, the energy of the sun dominates, and the right side of the body corresponds to it. And at night, the energy of the moon dominates and the left side of the body corresponds to it. Therefore, you need to go to bed at night on your left side.

Sleep for eight hours. In countries where daytime rest is accepted, there are fewer cardiovascular diseases.

Which direction to sleep

Position during sleep is of the greatest importance for your well-being, so this issue must be taken seriously.

If you sleep with your head in the right direction, you will not have health problems, your sleep will be strong and healthy, and your dreams will be light and pleasant. Otherwise, you will face insomnia, constant ailments and a feeling of fatigue, heaviness in the morning.
In Feng Shui, it is believed that one should sleep with the head in one of four personal auspicious directions, preferably in the best one. And if the spouses sleep together, you need to lie down with your head in the direction favorable for the man.
In Western magical traditions, the head to the north is considered ideal, since in this case the person is lying along the magnetic lines of the Earth. This position contributes to stability, tranquility, well-being, good health and quick healing from diseases.
It is good to sleep with your head to the east, following the natural course of celestial bodies. The East has long been associated with the spiritual principle, it is the focus of the mind, mental strength and freedom of the spirit. In addition, in the summer heat, this position will give you a feeling of coolness.
Sleeping with the head to the west brings love, enhances sensitivity and creativity. This is the ideal position for magicians and artists, especially artists.
But if in a dream your head is turned to the south, you will be tormented by illness, insomnia and chronic fatigue. If these unpleasant phenomena occur in your case, turn in the opposite direction during sleep - the result will not keep you waiting, the quality of sleep, and with it your well-being will improve immediately.
As you can see, there are plenty of options. You choose. If you can’t change your position during sleep in any way, put magical amulets on your bed (they will be discussed below) - they will prevent the negative impact of an unfavorable direction. For example, if you are forced to sleep with your head to the south, place a small mirror at the head of the headboard with its reflective surface facing south.

Sleep according to Ayurveda

What is time.

Time is an unshakable force that measures its time for everything - people, houses, countries, planets, the universe.

The lifespan of a person or country can be found out by making a Vedic horoscope.

You can find out the lifespan of a house by calculating it according to the formulas of the science of Vastu Shastra.

The lifetime of the universe is described in the scriptures - the Vedas and is also precisely defined.

Any term is determined by the laws of karma, which represent the power of God for us, therefore, it is impossible to stop or overcome your term.

Time is meant to heal us from the illusory desire to become the master of this world, and therefore destroys all our plans, and even our attempts to ignore the very power of time.

When a person does not want to recognize God, then it manifests itself for him in the form of time at the moment of death.

Perception of time.

The wheel of time consists of 13 spokes, 360 joints, 6 rims and countless engraved leaves, which symbolizes the universal cyclicity of life.

Time depends on perception. Basically on how many people have lived. If he lived for 5 years, then he perceives the next year as 1/5 of his life, that is, it lasts a very long time, but if you are 60 years old, then the next year is only 1/60 of your life and therefore years fly by in old age. This is a warning that we must hurry to realize the goal of human life.

Accept and respect the time.

Time is the law of life and, like any law, requires respect.

Disrespect and non-acceptance of the law of time leads to problems, suffering, and enslavement, and following the laws leads to liberation. Just like a criminal, for violating the law he goes to prison and loses his freedom, and once again he starts to behave correctly, he is released and gets rid of suffering.

In accordance with this law, if something is not done on time, then a person loses vitality and falls into depression, and when he starts doing the right thing, he feels a natural surge of strength, enthusiasm and perspective. Therefore, to be free is to live according to a schedule, and not to do what I want and when I want.

To accept the power of time is to rush to do as much as possible useful in your life, and to respect time is to do everything on time.

Instructions for the operation of the human body.

For each mechanism there is an instruction, without knowing which, it is impossible to properly operate this mechanism. It will definitely break prematurely. Also for this body there is an instruction specially designed for a healthy and long life in this body with the least disturbance. This instruction is described in the Vedas and determines the life of the human body at 100 years, with proper use.

The human body naturally lives according to the biological clock, which is controlled by the Sun. Its energy penetrates our body and controls it, whether we see it or not.

Therefore, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to the operation of your body, and not try to come up with your own instructions.

Any innovation or change in instructions only shortens the life of a person and leads to many problems.

Dinacharya - daily routine.

“Ayur Veda” first of all emphasizes that we should lead a very measured lifestyle. This is one of the rules of any yoga system. But it seems to us that if a person is busy with the same thing every day, he turns into a robot and cannot show his individuality normally. However, the daily routine neutralizes the interference created by the body and allows you to fully reveal all your abilities.

The day is divided into six periods of four hours, and in each of these periods a certain dosha dominates in the body - the quality of our body.

From 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., vata acts predominantly in the body - this is lightness, restless sleep, and it is best to get up during this period and engage the mind.

Kapha works from 6 to 10 in the morning - you really want to sleep and this is the time to fight sleep, because if you go on about the mind, then morning sleep will completely take all the energy from the body, as a result of which weakness and drowsiness are provided for the whole day.

Pitta is active from 10:00 to 14:00 - the time of activity and digestion of food. The best time for lunch is noon.

From 14 to 18 days, vata again acts - again mental activity is possible.

From 18 to 22 - kapha - you need to have time to go to bed. Westerners pride themselves on being unable to go to bed early and call themselves night owls, but in reality they simply cross the 10 o'clock line regularly and again feel the surge of energy that is characteristic of Pitta.

Pitta from 22:00 to 2:00. If you do not have time to go to bed, then there comes a night vigil, followed by apathy.

For a healthy person, 7 hours of sleep is enough.

Midnight is a time of rest for all nature, since the Sun is at its lowest position, and a reasonable person goes to bed from 21 to 22 hours.

Each hour of such sleep counts as two.

It is from 21 to 24 hours that the nervous system rests. If a person does not rest at this time, then slowly but surely his nervous system is depleted and this leads to a whole bunch of diseases.

The lack of proper rest at night leads to an additional catching up of rest during the day, which is expressed in apathy, laziness, drowsiness and just daytime sleep, which is very harmful to health. For such a person, day turns into night, consciousness weakens, a person is not able to think actively, and not only physical problems come to him, but also social ones - they are kicked out of work.

TV is enemy number one, killing health with its evening program, which completely unbalances the body.

A person who sleeps with his head to the north develops in himself the desire to become a god.

One who sleeps in the south develops the desire for sense gratification or fruitive activities.

And if a person sleeps with his head to the west, he develops a tendency to speculative thinking.

Climb.

4 hours is the best time to get up.

Vata dosha dominates from 2 am to 6 am. Vata is air and gives enthusiasm, cheerfulness, lightness. And if you stand up during this period of time, then these natural qualities will manifest in you.

Even Prince Vladimir instructed his sons: "Be sure to wake up before sunrise."

This is the time of the saints. The purer a person, the more he strives for an early rise, the more sinful, the more he wants to sleep longer.

This is a time of natural mood for self-awareness and self-improvement. This is the time of understanding the most secret secrets of nature. Only at this time a special atmosphere is created for its comprehension. Time itself helps us in these hours.

It is described in the Bhagavad-gita that when night falls for everyone, the time for awakening comes for the self-controlled. Accordingly, the world is divided into two groups:

- those who want to progress - they all get up in the morning together and feel a joint strength - synergy.

Those who want to degrade - they do not want to get up and naturally do not receive any strength, only irritability and weakness.

In physiological terms, Ayurveda says that you need to get up on the foot which nostril is functioning at that moment. If the right nostril works for us, we should get up from the right foot, if the left, then from the left.

It must be understood that all the rules for ascent are intended primarily for quickly remembering the purpose of life.

From 4 to 6 is the time of happiness, optimism, meditation and is called “brahma-muhurta”.

In the pre-dawn time, all nature wakes up and experiences happiness. Birds are singing. The person also feels the need to sing. In the temples at this time, morning prayers are sung. This is the best time for singing.

During this period, the natural ability to be happy is acquired. This period of time cannot be replenished by any mechanical means.

This is the time to concentrate on the sublime - the time of meditation. Meditation is concentration on the name of God, which contains all happiness. During this period of time, the connection with the source of happiness is closest. The more concentrated a person will practice meditation during this period, the greater the "amount" of happiness he will find.

This is also the best time to lift the whole family - the family becomes happy, scandals and unnecessary reproaches go away. All family members feel a natural enthusiasm and mutual attraction. The best anti-stress therapy.

Half an hour before sunrise, the sun sends out special rays that penetrate the atmosphere and give special energy to the human body. This was also confirmed by Japanese doctors, who recorded that twenty minutes before sunrise, the entire biochemistry of the body changes dramatically. Even blood changes its composition. “Ayur Veda”, knowing this, says that it is during this period that our body is tuned to active daily activities. If this time is missed, then the body does not switch and operates in a weakened, night mode at half strength, which causes fatigue, overwork and illness. Therefore, it is recommended that at this time a person be in a waking state, having performed ablution, with a clean intestine, and then his day will be completely different.

The energy that the sun sets must be perceived by a clean organism, and then it will function normally throughout the day.

Also, vata, which dominates at this time of the day, helps to remove decay products from the body, which allows you to better cleanse the body.

But the most important value of an early rise is a predisposition to spiritual life.

Since this is a time of meditation, it must be spent in the active repetition of mantras, which consist of the names of God. The Vedas recommend chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, the great song of liberation of the mind, on the rosary. (hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare).

From 6 to 7 is the time of beginning anxiety.

After 6 hours, kafa dosha begins to dominate. Kafa has the opposite qualities of Vata. Kafa is heavy, slow and inhibited, if you wake up after 6, then you will feel lethargic, heaviness all day, all the people and circumstances that you meet during the day will annoy and piss you off.

A person loses vitality and the activity of his life decreases.

He is no longer so determined and active during the day. Nothing succeeds. The state begins - “No time” - which translates as “I missed it”.

7 to 8 is stressful time.

A person wakes up already in a state of stress.

In fact, the day is destroyed, and from the premonition of this, a person is filled with pessimism.

There is a chronic failure and a complete lack of cheerfulness.

As a consequence, all diseases associated with stress appear - especially indigestion and cardiovascular diseases.

A person loses control over himself and experiences troubles and pain as such much more painfully.

Lost concentration. A person becomes slovenly, absent-minded or becomes a slave to his own erroneous decisions.

And to top it all, he gets into a defensive position.

From 8 to 9 - the time of premature aging.

The stressful situation becomes chronic - there is no chance for health.

Irritability interferes with good relationships at work and in the family. Relationships with family and friends break down.

In such conditions it is very difficult to make a decision, even the simplest one, and most importantly, to execute it. A person becomes completely incompetent and suffers from impotence and guilt.

9 to 10 is the time of death.

In fact, a person is no longer able to follow the goal of life. And although he is still alive, in fact, life is already over, since its meaning is completely lost.

Insurmountable illnesses appear in the body, as time concludes that this person does not want to live anymore.

How to get up.

You need to get up immediately, and without hesitation.

Every minute takes at least an hour of activity. If you lay around for half an hour, then the day is crossed out.

A person does not want to get up immediately, because he does not see joy in reality and wants to remain in illusion as much as possible. This means that life is aimless and sinful. The more correct and cleaner a person lives, the faster and happier he gets up early in the morning.

Before bathing, one should drink a glass of cold boiled water. This procedure helps to cleanse the body very well, and in particular, activates the activity of the intestines. This should be done at any time of the year, regardless of your constitution.

The next thing to do after you've drunk the water is to make sure that the evacuation occurs. A person himself can develop such a habit in himself (in India, children are taught this system from early childhood).

During the night, all waste products accumulate in the intestines and in the bladder. All the toxins of the body's vital activity are collected there, and if we meet the rising sun, then these toxins will penetrate into the blood.

Not freed properly from toxins, a person will feel weak all day. Toxins tend to build up and this leads to a feeling of weakness, drowsiness. Therefore, you need to try to develop this good habit in yourself, and in order to develop it, a glass of cold water in the morning helps a lot.

The great saint Srila Prabhupada said that meditation is out of the question if our intestines are full of all this dirt. If you get up and this dirt remains in you all day long, then during meditation you will not be able to concentrate properly.

After that, you need to brush your teeth. All Western pastas are usually made sweet. But this is just very bad, because in the morning the tongue needs either a salty taste, or bitter, or astringent. But since people are attached to sweet taste, they are naturally attached to sweet paste. However, it is better not to use it.

The most suitable paste is Srila Prabhupada's. It is good for both the gums and the teeth themselves.

Recipe. Ingredients: sea salt (finely ground), mustard oil (equal amount of each ingredient). Method of preparation: Mix everything together very well!

After you have brushed your teeth, you need to clean your tongue. Classical Ayurvedic recipes say that a tongue cleaner should be made of either gold or silver. These are the two best metals. Silver is even better than gold because it cleanses much more strongly.

If you can't get anything out of gold or silver, then the next good metal is copper or bronze. But if this is not there, then use stainless steel. If you do not have a special cleaning, then you can clean the tongue with a spoon. But it is better to use cleaning, because the main part of the toxins is located at the base of the tongue. If a person suffers from bad breath, then this procedure will help him eliminate this problem to a large extent.

Then you need to bring the body into working condition - take a shower. Without a full bath, a person continues to sleep, although on his feet.

You need to start washing from the feet, from the legs, then you can wash your hair, and then everything else.

The Ayurveda says that daily bathing not only increases life expectancy, but also contributes to the body's resistance to all diseases, and also enhances ojas, that is, an element that is directly responsible for maintaining the immune system.

However, the type of water you wash with plays an important role. Ayurveda says that both cold water and hot water are not very good for bathing. It is believed that the best water is warm, when a person does not feel discomfort.

Bathing in hot water relaxes a person and makes his muscles flabby. Moreover, it takes energy from him. Conversely, too cold water is also bad, because it leads to muscle spasms and various other undesirable consequences.

Never wash your hair with hot water. If we feel unwell or cold and want to take a hot shower, this is normal, especially for Vata people, but even they should not wash their hair with hot water. The head can only be washed with cool water. This will help keep your eyesight.

Before going to bed, in order to fall asleep faster, you can wash yourself with warm water, because it relaxes well, but not longer than two hours before bedtime, because otherwise a person washes off the protective shell that accumulates in him during the day.

Ayurveda does not recommend washing with soap, because soap is a very harmful thing. It has a bad effect on the skin and, in fact, destroys and degreases it. Instead of soap, it is recommended to use a mixture of flour, vegetable oil and turmeric. This mixture works exactly like soap, only much better and has no negative effects.

According to the rules, you need to take one cup of flour (pea or wheat), half a cup of vegetable oil, half a teaspoon of turmeric and add a little water. Then you need to make a paste out of this and wash with it.

Another point is the washing of the feet. Through them, energy leaves our body, so it is recommended to wash your feet as often as possible. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it gives a person cheerfulness and relieves fatigue. It is especially recommended to wash the feet before going to bed. It is said that before going to bed it is not necessary to take a full bath, but in order to sleep well and soundly, it is recommended to wash the feet and shins with warm or cold water. You can also wash them before and after eating. You need to do this 4-5 times a day.

After that, you can spend a general health complex. For the morning, “Surya Namaskar” is especially suitable - bows to the Sun.

The law of time is this - if a person gets up before the sun, then he rejoices all day, if after sunrise, then he suffers all day. Ra is what our ancestors called the Sun. Hence the word joy.

Breakfast.

Never eat before sunrise or after sunset. But drinking water is allowed.

Breakfast should be from 6 to 8:30 in the morning.

Since the fire of digestion is weak, breakfast should also be light - dairy, sweet fruits or nuts. Pulses will be too heavy for this time and the body will be weak. Breakfast may consist of a glass of fruit or vegetable juice, or an apple, or a glass of herbal tea.

It is good to eat sweets, if you feel irritation, then drink a little sweetened milk - this will bring peace and good mood.

Buckwheat is not a grain and is suitable for consumption in the morning.

The habit of stuffing the stomach in the morning makes a person embittered, because then, instead of earning a living, he spends his whole day only digesting this breakfast.

When you wash your hands after eating, be sure to wash your face. If you rinse your mouth, you should always rinse your eyes.

Studying time.

From 6 am to 10 am, kapha is active, which gives stability. Therefore, everything that was learned at this time will remain with you forever. This is the secret to healthy and long lasting memory.

By lunchtime, the ability to learn practically disappears. Evening teaching methods are especially unfavorable, which leads to a stressful situation and overwork, especially in children.

Another important point. This is especially true for those who have poor eyesight and who suffer from eye disease from working on a computer. For such people, Ayurveda advises rubbing the eyes with saliva and then rinsing them with water. Saliva is known to have cooling properties. It is able to cool pitta, the fire that is in the eyes.

11 am to 1 pm is lunch time. Determine noon from the shortest shadow, as government clocks often diverge from biological clocks.

During this period, it is especially useful to consume legumes, which will become a natural medicine during this period. Legumes nourish thought processes and make a person reasonable - bread is the head of everything.

If you ate on time, then you will not want to sleep, and if not, you will steadily pull into sleep.

You need to eat as much as you want, but at the right time.

Do not drink a lot of water after eating - this will put out the fire of digestion and increase weight. Drinking water during meals will keep the weight the same, and drinking before meals will lead to weight loss.

Sleep after dinner - death to the body. Irritability and nervousness after daytime sleep are provided.

Ayurveda compares daytime sleep to eating rotten meat or having sex with an old woman. It is better to take a quiet walk or, in extreme cases, take a nap while sitting.

Sleep, sitting - the sleep of the saints. Dormancy is the best state for a quick rest. Deep and heavy sleep stops vital activity and it is very difficult to return a person to consciousness.

Ayurveda says that one should never eat unless there is a real feeling of hunger. "Stress eating" is one of the main causes of most diseases in modern society.

Also, for at least an hour after eating, you should not engage in intense mental work.

It should be noted that, as a rule, we drink very little. In accordance with yoga and Ayurveda, a person must definitely drink during the day. Water acts as a lubricant and has a cleansing function. You need to drink about two liters of water per day.

Time for dinner from 18 to 20.

It is advisable to have dinner before sunset and preferably without grains and legumes. Food should be light so that it is completely digested before going to bed.

After entering, you need to drink hot milk mixed with sugar and spices. This gives the body a healing power, as it calms the nervous system, which is the cause of all diseases.

For people engaged in spiritual practice, it is better not to have dinner in order to maintain clarity of consciousness and ease in awakening in the morning.

Do not sleep at sunset - this is a very unhealthy sleep, because such a dream excites Vata and leads to anxiety. In general, this period of time is called sandhya, and is considered favorable only for the performance of religious duties. It is especially unfavorable at this time to beget children, because at this time subtle living beings gain strength.

After sunset, it is better not to go out alone and not talk about ghosts - this will surely attract them.

Going to sleep.

From 19 to 21 - going to bed.

This is the time to relax and get ready for the next day.

The worst thing is to excite your nervous system by watching terrible movies, which completely cancels the healing effect of subsequent sleep.

To analyze the wrong actions for the day and forgive everyone is a guarantee of a useful sleep. If you sleep with resentment and without philosophical realizations, sleep is only to the detriment. To do this, it is not bad to keep a philosophical diary in the evening.

Before going to bed, you can do a foot massage with oil, this calms the nervous system and promotes good sleep. If a person massages his feet with sesame oil every day, he will never get sick. It also restores the immune system very well and increases ojas.

It is good to do some calming yoga asanas before going to bed.

Mention should be made of a common mistake when a person first starts to practice getting up early, and leaving the time of the end unchanged. As a result, he does not get enough sleep, becomes aggressive and comes to the conclusion that this theory is not consistent. I strongly recommend that you first practice an early wake-up, and an early rise will happen by itself after 7-8 hours of healthy sleep.

In the end, sleep should become part of spiritual practice and prepare our body to serve the world and God the next day.

The division of the day into 4 parts.

The most important is the division of the day into four parts. Since these four parts represent all human activity. And these four points that divide the day into 4 parts are the turning points from which we must build our day.

The first part from 3 am to 9 am personifies "moksha", that is, the desire of mankind for enlightenment, at this time all spiritual people are engaged in spiritual practice, meditation, worship of God, etc. Therefore, at this time it is considered unfavorable to sleep, as strength or "tejas", spiritual merit, is lost. In general, in previous centuries, it was considered a sin to sleep when the Sun was marching across the visible sky.

The time from 9 am to 3 pm is for "artha" or economic well-being, at which time all people usually work in order to support their lives.

From 3 pm to 9 pm is the time for doing the "dharma" of one's duty, usually when people come home from work they take care of their children, wives, etc. Thus fulfilling his karmic duty towards them.

And from 21.00 to 03.00 is the time to satisfy "kama", usually at this time people indulge in sensual pleasures, sex, sleep, etc.

We can see that everything is arranged in an amazing way by nature, and these four divisions cannot be neglected, although the movement of the Sun is also important. We should try to combine them, but these 4 factors should be primary. By following them you will be able to achieve not only the health of the body, but also the spirit, which is basically the most important.

It should be noted that the transition for the body begins a little earlier than these points, as if in an hour or two it begins to prepare for this.

What is Eternal Time:

Time is an aspect of our conscience (Paramatma), which resides forever in our heart and is called ETERNAL TIME and manifests itself as past, present and future.

The power of time is expressed in birth, sickness, old age and death.

Those who know Eternal Time know the past, present and future. Such persons are called chiran jiva. That means they never die in this material world. These are Parasurama, Markandeya Rishi, Kok Bushkhundi, Hanuman, Kripacharya.

Eternal Time does not allow a person to become proud and feel like a god. Therefore, it is also called kala-sarpa (cobra, whose bite is always fatal) as it destroys even our best and most thoughtful plan, if it is not connected with the plan of God.

Eternal Time acts as fate - impartially controls the amount of happiness and misfortune released to us. If we accept karma-fate, then we stop suffering.

Eternal Time is the witness of all our deeds, good and bad, and predetermines their results. Predetermines everything (even a blade of grass does not stir without the will of the Lord), and gives a living being as much freedom as it deserves.

The abuse of this freedom is the cause of suffering. We will be given less and less freedom. So we change bodies from human to worm.

Abuse is defined by the inability to sense time (burn through). The duration of life is predetermined, and this time must be spent very wisely, since not one lost second cannot be returned. Illusion is life without purpose. The goal is to understand what is the cause of suffering from birth, illness, old age and death and to achieve eternity of knowledge and bliss - to find the source of happiness.

The great sage Sukadeva Gosvami said that it is better to live one moment fully realizing the purpose of life than to waste hundreds of years deaf to the problems of life.

Eternal Time causes a fear of death in a person, drawing his attention to the fact that he is in the material consciousness of identifying himself with the body. Through spiritual practice, a person is able to understand and realize the difference between the soul and the body and get rid of the fear of death.

Eternal Time causes grief, destroying our plans and taking away acquisitions, thus suggesting that true wealth is not things, but wisdom.

The time spent searching for spiritual happiness is not erased from our lives, but remains with us forever. Therefore, a cultured person does not waste time searching for sensual happiness, but is satisfied with what comes by itself and devotes all the time to the search for spiritual perfection in the company of other applicants.
