There is a quiet magic in the early morning — a space where the world is still tender and the heart is open to receive. As a spiritual guide, healer, and intuitive, I’ve found that how we begin the day shapes everything that follows.



Many of us wake up already thinking of our to-do lists or replaying yesterday’s heaviness. But what if the first thing we did was return to our breath, our body, and the Divine?



Between 4 and 6 AM, the veil is thinner, the spirit is more receptive, and the energy is still pure. This sacred window, known in many traditions as the ambrosial hours, is when I feel most deeply connected. It’s when I set my intentions, align my energy, and allow divine messages to come through with clarity.



In my own life — and in the lives of the clients and souls I support — morning devotion is not just a ritual. It’s an awakening. It’s a sacred return to self before the world asks anything of us.



“This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24


This verse reminds me to approach each day as a divine gift. Before my feet touch the floor, I place my hand on my heart and whisper, “Thank you for this day.”



“Perform your obligatory duty, because action is indeed better than inaction.” — Bhagavad Gita 3.8


This wisdom reminds me that devotion isn’t just in stillness — it’s also in sacred action. When I prepare herbal teas, blend oils, light my altar, or tend to my body, I’m honoring Spirit through movement.



“And He is with you wherever you are.” — Qur’an, Surah Al-Hadid 57:4


This verse is a deep comfort. No matter where I am — in joy or in sorrow — I am never alone. Spirit is always near.


 
 


  My Morning Devotion Practice (and How It May Inspire Yours)
 



Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or returning to your sacred rhythm, you can adapt this practice in a way that aligns with your soul. Here’s what my morning devotion looks like — especially between 4 and 6 AM:



 

  
Reading
 



I open a sacred book, a deck of oracle cards, or even an intuitive message from Spirit. Some mornings it’s scripture, other days it’s a line from the Bhagavad Gita, Qur’an, or a downloaded truth written in my own journal. Let something speak to your spirit.



 

  
Meditation
 



Stillness is powerful. I spend 5–15 minutes in silence, eyes closed, breathing deeply. I imagine divine light pouring into my crown and expanding into my aura. It clears the static and connects me to Source.



 

  
Journaling
 



I write what I hear, see, and feel. I release thoughts that need to leave and anchor intentions that want to take root. I might write a prayer, an affirmation, or simply a word that holds meaning for the day.



 

  
Prayer  
 



Prayer is the heartbeat of my devotion. I speak from my spirit — no script, no perfection. Some mornings it’s a quiet “thank you,” other times it’s an open conversation with God, my guides, or my ancestors.


 
 


  Why It Matters
 



When we choose to begin our day with devotion — especially during those early, sacred hours — we don’t just get more “peace.” We shift the entire direction of our day. We become more grounded, more intuitive, more compassionate, and more aligned with purpose.



These rituals are not just for me. I offer them to my clients, children, friends, and community — not as rules, but as reminders. You are not here to rush. You are here to remember.



Every sunrise is an invitation to reconnect — with your highest self, with Spirit, and with the breath that keeps whispering: you are alive, you are loved, and you are ready.
