НИКОГДА не делайте ЭТО сразу после пробуждения — особенно после 70 | Аскар

You wake up—and the first thing you do, even before you get out of bed, is reach for your phone or the news. And by doing so, you're giving away the purest time of day to anyone but yourself. And after seventy, this is no small matter: the first hour of the morning decides whether your day will be clear or cloudy. I lived in a monastery near Kailash for thirty years and know the monks' morning routine by heart. Let me tell you right away, so you don't expect a miracle: there's no secret there. Monks do the most boring things in the world. The secret isn't WHAT they do, but the ORDER in which they do it. Modern man, however, does the same thing, only backwards—and therefore loses his head where he could have kept it. Today, I'll break this routine down to its bare bones—light, body, breath, silence. No mysticism, no mantras, no Himalayas. And I'll tell you honestly how I once abandoned this routine and became dumb within a year, blaming my age. This isn't a cure or a replacement for a doctor. It's a way to stop robbing yourself in the morning. #aksakalaskar #easternwisdom #healthafter70 #clearmind #tibet
