At the end of the day, as
the dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest,
we find ourselves at a clear transition point. Behind us lies the
previous day and all that has come before; ahead of us, the dawn
heralds the unfolding of all that is still to be. While many of us have
morning rituals that connect us with our center and help us set
intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of a nighttime
ritual as well. It holds for us a beautiful 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 this moment. And you can send lightness and love into the
future for the one you are in the process of becoming.
Though simple, this
action honors the journey you have taken thus far, while opening you to
the wonderful possibilities ahead. When you consciously engage with
your own evolution this way, you may find that your sleep gets sweeter,
filling your night with a deeper sense of trust and relaxation. As you
rest, you can surrender to these peaceful hours, knowing that the road
behind you has been seen and acknowledged with respect and kindness,
and 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 can begin to orient yourself on your path of
growing. It allows you 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.
