There are mornings when your body rises… but your soul feels unfinished.
You’re not tired. You’re depleted.
Not because you haven’t slept, but because somewhere, without noticing, you’ve spent your most sacred resource — your energy — on noise that doesn’t deserve it.
π In Ancient India, Energy Was
Not Measured in Hours — But in Presence
We didn’t need planners or productivity
hacks.
Because the moment we woke up, we knew:
π Energy was divine.
π Where we give it, we grow it.
π And if we waste it, we weaken not just ourselves, but the world
around us.
Before mobile notifications and mindless
scrolling, our mornings began with something sacred:
- The
sound of cows being fed
- The
rustle of a broom on a mud floor
- The
quiet patience of gathering Parijatha flowers fallen gently from
the tree
- The
first shloka whispered with folded hands toward the Earth beneath
us
Even now, thousands of years later, that
wisdom hasn't aged.
It waits for us.
Every morning.
π Affirmations Aren’t New to
Us
Modern affirmations say:
"I am strong. I am peaceful. I
attract what I deserve."
But long before that, our elders began
the day with:
"Karagre Vasate Lakshmi, Karamadhye Saraswati…"
"karamule tu govinda prabhate karadarshanam"
"In my hands, resides abundance, in my palms, I hold wisdom.And at my roots, divine guidance steadies me.
We weren’t just speaking to the universe
—
We were reminding ourselves that our body is a temple, and energy is its
offering.
π The First Offering: Serving
Those Who Depend on Us
In Indian homes, the first energy of the
day didn’t go into emails or errands.
It went into:
- Feeding
the cows
- Giving
water to birds
- Cleaning
the space so others feel peace
- Bathing
before sunrise, so our body is ready to receive the day
Why?
Because energy multiplies when it
serves something beyond you.
Taking care of animals was never a chore
—
it was a spiritual responsibility, just like raising children.
A way to say: “I am here. I’m part of the living rhythm of this world.”
π Morning Noise vs. Morning
Meaning
Not all sound is sacred.
Today, our energy leaks into mindless
noise:
Videos, voices, arguments, opinions that don’t even belong to us.
But energy, when spent with intention,
becomes prana shakti —
the force that carries us through storms and still keeps us tender.
πΌ A Simple Ritual to Reclaim
Sacred Energy
Try this:
- Before
touching your phone, touch the ground. Say a small mantra or whisper a
thank you to the Earth.
- Feed
one creature — even if it's just the birds outside your window.
- Speak
your own morning truth aloud:
“Let me give my energy only to what matters today.”
π A Gentle Thought for You
Not every morning will feel calm.
Not every day will begin with grace.
But still — if you can pause, even for a
moment,
and choose where your first breath of energy flows…
you’ve already shifted the rhythm of your life.
Even when the world is chaotic, your
energy doesn’t have to be.
It can be a quiet prayer.
A bowl of grains for the birds.
A flower at the feet of divinity.
Or the silence of not reacting.
You don’t need to change everything.
You just need to spend your sacredness wisely.
π Final Whisper
If your heart feels dry like grass
If your home feels undone
Don’t rush to fix it.
Sit.
Remember who you are.
Where your energy goes, your life follows.
So spend it slowly.
Spend it wisely.
Spend it sacredly.
