An almighty tug this morning to make my way down to the shore line, being with the SUN as it rises.
The perfect journaling spot!
The light in all its glory & power as it realigned this discombobulating feeling that was flowing through me!
There is no real explanation to how much power and warmth flowed through my body - yet there was this whisper from inside saying
“begin again” without pressure.
Sunrises are so so powerful - & to really know you have to experience it yourself…
read on and see below at it’s benefits and then go get your morning dose as rises … 👇 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
🌞 1. They Reset Your Biology
Morning sunlight directly affects your circadian rhythm.
• It signals to your brain that it’s daytime
• Boosts serotonin (mood, motivation, calm focus)
• Helps regulate melatonin later, improving sleep at night
Just a few minutes of sunrise light can recalibrate your whole day.

🧠 2. Mental Clarity & Calm
At sunrise, the world is quieter.
• Fewer distractions
• Lower cortisol spikes than rushing mornings
• The mind is more receptive, reflective, and present
This creates a natural state for journalling, meditation, or intention setting.
⸻
✨ 3. Energetic Fresh Start
Many traditions describe sunrise as a threshold moment:
• The transition from darkness to light
• Symbolises renewal, hope, and possibility
Energetically, it’s considered a time when prana / life force is most available.
⸻
🧘♀️ 4. Spiritual & Yogic Significance
In yogic philosophy, sunrise aligns with Brahma Muhurta (roughly 90 minutes before sunrise):
• Ideal for meditation and spiritual practices
• The nervous system is naturally calm
• The mind is clear and sattvic (pure, balanced)
This is why early-morning yoga and breathwork feel especially potent.
⸻
🌿 5. Connection to Nature’s Rhythm
Watching the sun rise:
• Grounds you in the present moment
• Reconnects you to natural cycles
• Creates a sense of awe, which research links to reduced stress and greater wellbeing
It reminds us we are part of nature, not separate from it.
⸻
💛 6. Emotional & Symbolic Power
Sunrises represent:
• new beginnings
• second chances
• gentle growth (not forced)
