Honoring our Inner Clock: Circadian Rhythm Disruption During Time Change

Blessed Love.

As the seasons shift and the clocks move forward or back, many within the collective begin to feel a subtle imbalance rising within the physical structure and mind. This one hour may seem small, but to the temple we dwell in, it can echo loudly.

Deep within every human vessel lives a sacred timing; the circadian rhythm; a natural inner clock guided by the Most High through light, darkness, and divine cycles. When this rhythm becomes disrupted, we may feel it in our sleep, our mood, our digestion, our energy, and our spirit.

What Is the Circadian Rhythm?

Your circadian rhythm is the physical structure's 24-hour cycle that rises and falls like the sun. It guides:

• Sleep and wakefulness

• Hormone flow

• Nervous system balance

• Digestion and metabolism

• Cellular healing

• Immune strength

Light is its greatest teacher. Sunrise awakens the system. Sunset invites rest.

Why Time Change Affects the Inner Temple

When we shift the clocks, but nature does not shift with us, the physical structure receives mixed messages. The brain must re-calibrate, adjusting hormone release, temperature, appetite, and energy patterns. This is why we may feel:

• Restlessness at night

• Grogginess when waking

• Irritability or sensitivity

• Cravings and digestive changes

• Lack of motivation

• “Fog” in the mind

Think of it as a small form of jet lag, except no flight was taken.

Who Feels It the Deepest?

Some are more sensitive to this disharmony:

• Children

• Those already lacking sleep

• Individuals under stress

• Shift workers

• Souls managing hormone or metabolic imbalance

Their transition may take longer, and compassion is required.

The Holistic Impact

When rhythm drifts, multiple systems can wobble:

• Energy scatters

• Emotions rise and fall without reason

• Digestion becomes confused

• Immune strength may weaken

• Healing slows

We are rhythmic beings. Disruption brings imbalance.

Signs Your Rhythm Is Calling for Support

You may notice:

• Trouble waking or falling asleep

• Moodiness or anxiety

• Extra cravings

• Daytime sleepiness

• Lack of focus

These are not weaknesses, they are messages.

How to Support Your Circadian Rhythm

1. Greet the Morning Sun

Step outside early. Let light touch your face. This is a powerful spiritual and biological reset.

2. Limit Nighttime Screens

Blue light silences melatonin, the sleep hormone. Choose warm lighting, candles, or dim lamps.

3. Prepare Gently

Go to bed 15 minutes earlier for a few days to soften the shift.

4. Keep Meal Times Rhythmical

Your digestion also runs on the clock. Consistency grounds the system.

5. Embrace Herbal Allies

Chamomile, lavender, catnip, ashwagandha; gentle medicine to soothe the nervous system.

6. Move the Body Daily

Movement signals wakefulness and builds better sleep at night.

7. Create a Night Ritual

Tea, stretching, journaling, breathwork ; sacred routines teach the our physical structure when to release and when to surrender.

A Seasonal Invitation

Instead of resisting, use this transition to:

• Re-evaluate sleep habits

• Cleanse emotional clutter

• Honor quiet

• Deepen your self-care

Time changes are reminders that we are nature, not separate from it.

Final Reflections

As light shifts and hours rearrange, let us listen to the whispers of the physical structure

. When we nurture our circadian rhythm, we nurture mind, mood, immunity, digestion, creativity, and spiritual clarity.

Honor your temple, honor your rest, and approach this transition with gentleness.

May balance return with grace.May your spirit remain grounded.And may your inner clock rise again with the sun.
