Shubhangi Chauhan Reveals the Ancient Wisdom Behind Brahma Muhurat

We've all at least once laughed at the question- "Itni subha kaun uthega?" But content creator and wellness enthusiast Shubhangi Chauhan is already flipping the script by showing us why waking up during the Brahma Muhurat might just be the next glow-up that your life needs.

What is Brahma Muhurat?

Brahma Muhurat is the very sacred pre-dawn window that begins roughly about 1 hour 36 minutes before sunrise, lasting about 48 minutes. While the timing varies depending on your exact location, it usually falls between 3:30 AM to 5:30 AM. Rooted in the ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, this time is known to be sattvic, meaning it is deeply filled with purity, calm, and high spiritual energy.

Shubhangi's Take: Why Should You Wake Up So Early?

Shubhangi briefly breaks down this age-old wisdom into five modern-day reasons that make much total sense:

1. The Mind is Most Calm & Receptive

This is when the mind is all naturally still. There's less noise, both externally and internally, making it a very ideal time for meditation, reflection, or some mindful journaling.

2. Higher Oxygen Levels & Life Energy (Prana)

The air is more fresher, oxygen levels are at their utmost peak, and the prana- the life force, is much more abundant. Breathing exercises and yoga feel significantly much more energizing.

3. Better Focus, Clarity & Creativity

Our brain's alpha state is pro-active, enhancing the concentration and creative thinking. It's why many successful artists, writers, and leaders usually swear by the early mornings.

4. Syncs You with Nature's Clock

Brahma Muhurat perfectly aligns your body and mind with your circadian rhythm, which highly promotes better sleep, hormonal balance, and the sustained energy throughout the whole day.

5. Spiritual & Emotional Balance

This is the peak time when you feel more connected- whether to yourself, to nature, or to something even higher. It's much ideal for prayer, intention-setting, or just experiencing your inner peace.

Shubhangi's Message?

You don't have to even become a monk-just try waking up a bit earlier, even if it's just once or twice a week. You might find a version of yourself that's more calmer, clearer, and even more connected.

"Waking up before the world isn't about being just productive, it's also about being present," Shubhangi says.
