Winding down for sleep
A slow, dim-the-lights practice for the end of the day.
Winding down for sleep
Find somewhere comfortable. You can stop whenever you like.
What you'll be doing
- Get into bed and turn the lights low. Let your body sink into the mattress.
- Breathe out slowly, as if fogging a window.
- Let your feet go heavy, then your legs.
- Let your hips and back melt into the bed.
- Let your arms feel loose, your hands open.
- Let your face go slack. No expression needed.
- If thoughts come, let them drift by like cloud. You don't have to follow them.
- There's nothing left to do tonight. Rest.
