I wholeheartedly agree.
It’s gotten to the point where I faithfully wake up every morning (even weekends) between 5:15 and 5:45 (without an alarm clock) so that I can sit in candlelight for a couple of hours, alone with my consciousness.
I am closest to my soul
before the thoughts of the day
creep in to take my awareness away.
The practice of waking early, to greet the dawn in solitude and candlelight, is a profound ritual that connects us to the deeper realms of our consciousness. This sacred time, nestled between the veils of night and day, serves as a gateway to an intimate communion with the soul, untainted by the cacophony of daily life.
Dawn Ritual: Gateway to Communion with the Soul
This consistent awakening, a testament to the body’s internal clock and the mind’s attunement to a higher calling, is a powerful act of self-discipline and commitment to spiritual growth. The choice to rise at such an hour, especially in the quietude of weekends, reflects a deep yearning for connection with something greater than the self.
Commitment to Spiritual Growth
In the candle’s flickering light, the world outside falls away, leaving only the essential. This is a time when the soul speaks in whispers, unobstructed by the noise of external obligations or the chatter of the conscious mind. It is in these precious hours that we find clarity and serenity, a space where our truest self can breathe and expand.
Serenity in Solitude: The Soul’s Whispers
The period before the day’s thoughts intrude is a sacred window. In these moments, our awareness is most attuned to the subtleties of our inner world. It’s a time for reflection, meditation, and connection with the deeper currents of our existence. This practice is not just an act of waking but a daily rebirth, a reacquaintance with the core of our being.
Sacred Window: Attunement to Inner World
This ritual is a journey inward, a deliberate turning away from the external world to explore the vast landscapes within. It is a dance with the soul, a chance to listen to the heart’s quiet song and to align with our inner rhythm.

“The morning was full of sunlight and hope.”
– Kate Chopin
In the morning’s gentle glow,
We sit in silence, letting go.
Candlelight flickers, soft and low,
As our soul whispers, steady and slow.
Space Monkey watches, ever near,
In this ritual, our path is clear.
With each dawn, anew we rise,
In our heart, the sun’s first prize.
We welcome your reflections on this morning ritual and its impact on your connection with the soul.
