Each day, you have two diverse opportunities to behold the magic of the universe. When the sun rises in the morning and when it sets in the evening a higher energy vibration can be felt if you simply open yourself up to it. If you tune in, you can feel a portal opening that allows you to become one with the greater whole and create more meaning and intention for your day and allow a feeling of peace in the evening.
Beginnings and Possibilities
Rising with the sun is an incredibly satisfying habit. It allows you to honor the seasons as the sunrise time changes throughout the year. It also ensures that you will be able to greet the day at the same time nature does, and you’ll probably find that you are joined in this welcome by birds, insects, and other creatures. Sunrise is all about beginnings and possibilities. What surprises will your day hold? What synchronicities or chance meetings will enhance your planned schedule? How can you open yourself to appreciate everything that is to come—regardless of your expectations? Sunrise is the perfect time to set intentions for your day but also to make a promise to be open to whatever may be in store for you.
Endings and Honoring Accomplishments
Honoring the sunset balances out your day and gives you time to reflect on endings and note your accomplishments. What can you appreciate about the day’s events? How did the day turn out differently than you envisioned when you greeted the sunrise? Do you feel connected to others who are also reflecting on their day at this time? When you think about your day, what emotions come up? If powerful feelings emerge as you witness the sunset, you know you have connected to something invisible and spiritual that can heal and illuminate.
Creating a Portal
Creating the portal that allows you to connect with the universe is all about balance and diversity. You can celebrate the beginning and ending of the day with a yoga routine, a meditation, or simply bearing witness and allowing your mind to wander. You can enhance the experience by journaling or sharing it with others who are close to you, or you can simply use the time as a quiet space for yourself.
When you honor both sunrise and sunset rituals, you tap into the magical energy that is waiting for all those who know how to recognize it. This higher vibrational energy can trigger a spiritual awakening that leads you on a path to awareness and deeper understanding of your place in the world.
Waking with the sunrise and taking the time to honor the sunset is a habit that, once formed, can be a spiritual touchstone throughout your life. No matter where you are or what you may be experiencing in your life at the time, you can always count on the sunrise and sunset to be your faithful companions and a reminder that you are a part of something much bigger than yourself.
