We use it up excessively when we’re young,
and as we turn 30 (this is a rough figure), we
start to notice that things have changed. Now
we have to pay for our naughtiness and
mistakes. And it’s not something to weep for.
It’s more of a learning tool. Childhood is over;
now we have to take responsibility for our
actions. If we aren’t mindful enough of our
bodies, we’ll have to pay.
Our organism is designed to restore itself
while we’re sleeping. But this happens only if
we sleep during the hours from 10 p.m. to 2
a.m. Ayurvedic science suggests that sleeping
during this period is vitally important, for it
gives us a chance to restore both physically
and emotionally.
This time our liver and gallbladder get
activated. Apart from digesting food, these
organs are also responsible for detoxifying the
body, balancing the hormones, and processing
the accumulated emotions. If we eat heavy
meals late at night, these functions get
disturbed, and all the energy goes for
digestion. Not releasing the emotions during
the night, we build up stress in our life.
