While there are some seasonal variations, most plants and animals have embraced a predictable daily rhythm and live by it. However, humans have gotten away from this and are used to modern life, where energy and connectedness are available 24 hours a day.

In Ayurveda, the importance of a consistent daily routine can’t be underestimated. It helps to establish balance, regulates the biological clock, aids digestion, absorption, and assimilation, and brings a sense of calm and well-being, giving the body, mind, and spirit the chance to ground and cleanse, to start anew.

The following are some examples of daily practices “Dinacharya” that can be easily incorporated into your life and bring balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. Please contact me if you would like to know on how to make a start with some of these.
