Qué entender
A gentle evening routine for moving from activity toward rest.
Meditation before sleep can be a way to lower the pace of the day, but it is not a task to perform correctly in order to sleep. Treat it as a gentle quiet period rather than a technique that must force relaxation.
Cómo practicar
Lower the lights, sit or lie comfortably, and attend to breath or sound for ten minutes. When the timer ends, place the phone away from the bed and move toward rest.
Empieza poco a poco, elige un ritmo que te vaya bien y date permiso para volver mañana.
- Elige un tiempo breve, por ejemplo cinco minutos.
- Baja el ritmo cuando lo necesites y observa lo que ocurre.
- Cierra con una campana o una respiración consciente.
Un recordatorio útil
If focusing on breath makes you feel more awake, listen to a soft sound or scan body sensations instead.

What if I only have a little time today?
Use the smallest possible version, even if it is only one minute. Keeping a small appointment with yourself is often more useful than waiting for a perfect window.
Do I need to do it perfectly?
If focusing on breath makes you feel more awake, listen to a soft sound or scan body sensations instead. The aim is to notice and return, not to create the same experience every day.
