O que 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.
Como praticar
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.
Comece pequeno, escolha um ritmo que caiba na sua vida e permita-se voltar amanhã.
- Escolha um tempo curto, como cinco minutos.
- Desacelere quando precisar e perceba o que está acontecendo.
- Encerre com um sino ou uma respiração consciente.
Um lembrete 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.
