If I can I sit for a few minutes before leaving the room and facing the day, it helps.
This morning time is a very good time for going within... Here are the 4 junction points of the day , favorable to one's sādhana. The last one is usually by perscription of the teacher only, and used for specific mantra's and/or techniques.
- Morning is brahma muhūrta sandhyā - the junction (sandhyā) time (muhūrta~ 48 minutes or 1/30th of the day) of night and morning were creation, (brahma) awakens
- Noon for viṣṇu sandhyā ( I find 24 minutes; 12 to 15 min before noon and 12 to 15 min after the 12 noon hour)
- Sunset is called maheśvara ( some just say mahesh) sandhyā - this is the muhūrta of 48 min. I use 24 min befire and after suun set, others may differ.
- Midnight called kali or turīya sandhyā - turīya is the 4th , or 4th part; kali is 'last' ; kali is considered ther 15th as in tithi's of the moon; kālī is defined as black in color - the black of night. This kālī another name for saturn , śani.
