About this meditation

Five minutes to let today finish before you carry it to bed, with a soft confidence in rest.

Full transcript

The complete transcript of the piece, as narrated.

For five minutes, nothing is required. We practice ending today before carrying it into bed.

Find three bed contacts, head, shoulder, heel. Which edge clearest, which spread widest?

Feel breath arrive, follow the out-breath.

Keep one contact through an out-breath. When movement ends, check, changed or clearer?

Bring up one ordinary scene from today, just enough to recognize. Where is its body trace now? Compared with support, which is closer, sharper, and changes first?

For three breaths, find each out-breath ending. Before choosing the scene again, look for what is here.

If it returns, locate its body trace. Compare it with the bed beneath you.

Then find the next out-breath ending.

At that ending, check beneath the trace. Which edge is clearer?

Turn to your usual sleeping position. Find first sheet or blanket contact on skin. Stay until another sensation replaces it.

If a bright screen is beside bed, turn it off, and leave the room dim.

Feel the room. Move fingers and toes, and open your eyes when ready.
