By meditating at sadhana time, we slowly attract the anxieties from all other parts of the day. So these fears tend to occur most intensely at the time of day they were originally experienced.

Most fears were learned at a particular time of day. We become more flexible and feel more free. As each fear comes up and we look upon it neutrally, the fear loses its power over us. In meditation, we are clearing the subconscious of fears. Besides this, if we learn to meditate at the same time every day, this natural rhythm will make it easier and easier. If at the same time each day, we tune all of our mental and physical rhythms to each other, then the entire day flows better. Though many challenges may come to stop this constant early morning practice, as we conquer each one, we will build our willpower, confidence, and ability to concentrate. Few people are awake and busy, so the clutter and bustle of daily activities does not interfere with your practice. Also there is much prana in these hours, and the body rhythms are more set to support physical cleansing than during the rest of the day. To exercise before sunrise is important because the angle of the sun to the Earth is very good for meditation. So if you dedicate one-tenth of each day to your higher consciousness, your whole day is covered by the returning energy. The duration of two-and-a-half hours is determined by the law of karma: everything you give, you receive back ten-fold. The 108 yogic scriptures called the Kundalini Upanishads, call for at least two-and-a-half hours of sadhana before the rising of the sun. Morning Sadhana – Cleaning the Subconscious It is a time each day to notice the patterns that lead away from higher consciousness and to transcend those patterns. Sadhana is a practice of self-discipline that allows one to express the Infinite within one’s self.

By the end of morning sadhana, when everyone's energy has intermingled and merged, it is easy to communicate and be on the same wave length. While sadhana can be done individually, doing sadhana as a group develops group consciousness. What would your life look life if you were to experience discipline in this way?
