Yes, it’s called Brahma Muhurtha, or the hour of Creation, and meditating at that time is beautiful because it captures several advantages not available during other times of the day. First, you get to capture the energy of Life being ‘reborn’ anew. The sun slowly rises, creatures slowly come out of the night’s sleep, and the world seems “re-created.”

Second, it is a time you are least likely to be bothered by a) external noises & activity - most everyone is still asleep, and, b) your own copious thoughts - you haven’t yet had a full day of ideas & impressions flooding your mind, so thoughts are relatively fewer.

Lastly, in Ayurvedic perspective, it is the time of Vata dosha (calmness, peace) as opposed to later times of the day that are more Pitta (active, busy) and Kapha (dull, inertia)

Many meditators have experienced much more ease slipping into deep, profound ‘states’ during the Brahma Muhurtha. Specifically, Brahma Muhurtha is the period 1.5 hours before sunrise, so just check Gooogle or your almanac for the moment of sunrise tomorrow, and start meditating about 90 minutes prior.

To be clear, no type of meditation or time of meditation is going to make you more “awakened,” and true meditation, which is simply witnessing all phenomena, can done with great benefit any time of day. Remember, we’re not looking for profound mystical experiences in meditation, we’re looking for total neutrality and no indentification in all experiences.

That said, it may be fun to experiment with meditating at this time of day to notice if there’s a tangible difference in the quality of your meditation.
