Welcome to this Returning Practice from I Am Here.
Rest doesn’t begin when we fall asleep. It begins when we gently allow the day to come to a close. This practice offers a quiet moment to soften your pace, settle your attention, and prepare for rest.
Inspired by Day 5 of You Are Here: A Daily Companion for Living Inside Change.
As your day comes to a close, allow yourself to slow down for just a few moments.
Let your pace soften.
Notice your breath without trying to change it.
If it feels comfortable, dim the lights around you or reduce one source of stimulation.
Take one slow breath.
Then another.
There is nothing you need to finish right now.
Nothing you need to solve.
Simply let your body begin to recognize that the day is ending.
Allow yourself to arrive here.
When you're ready, carry this feeling with you into the rest of your evening.
Take a few moments for yourself.
Take what works. Leave the rest.
