Bedtime Ritual 58

Welcome to this gentle meditation, here to help you wind down and drift into peaceful sleep. As we step into a new year full of possibilities—some exciting, some still unfolding—this practice invites you to let go of the day and ease into rest.

Inspired by the Jewish bedtime ritual and adapted for anyone seeking calm, these prayers offer comfort, reflection, and a soft landing at the end of your day—a bridge between the buzz of the world and the quiet of the night.

Settle in. Get comfortable. Maybe wrap yourself in a favorite blanket or find your best “I’m-done-for-the-day” position. Breathe deeply. With each exhale, release tension, to-dos, and that one awkward thing you said five years ago.

Feel calm wash over you, like the relief of finally finding your phone after searching… while holding it. Let yourself be held by stillness, tradition, and the quiet permission to rest now.

Sleep deeply. Wake renewed, ready to meet the new year with clarity, energy, and maybe a smile.
