Nightly Ritual

Nightly Ritual
At the end of the day, as the dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down and rest, we find ourselves at a clear transition point: behind us lies the previous day and all that has passed; ahead of us, dawn heralds the unfolding of all that is yet to come. While many of us have morning rituals that connect us with our centre and help us to set intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of night time ritual as well. It holds for us a chance for self-appreciation and blessing. Before you go to bed each night, you can send gratitude, compassion and healing to the being you have been up until that moment. You can also send lightness and love into the future for the one you are in the process of becoming.


Although simple, this ritual honours the journey you have taken thus far. When you consciously engage with your own evolution this way, you may find that you sleep better, filling your night with a deeper sense of trust and relaxation. As you rest, you can surrender to this peaceful time, knowing that the road behind you has been acknowledged with respect and compassion, while the path ahead now holds your own benevolence and well wishes.


This bedtime ritual empowers you as the only one who can determine the meaning of your own past and the hopefulness of your future. By setting this special time aside each  night, you allow yourself to let the past have its place, to trust that the future is taken care of, and to simply rest yourself in the graceful arms of the present moment.
