Bedtime Ritual 73

This gentle bedtime ritual draws on the ancient practice of Kriat Sh'ma al haMitah, the recitation of the Shema before sleep. As the day comes to a close, participants are guided to release what has been done and what remains undone, making space for rest, trust, and repair. Through breath, brief reflection, and softly spoken words from the Sh’ma and surrounding tradition, the practice invites a felt sense of protection, forgiveness, and surrender. It is not about belief or perfection, but about ending the day with presence and care—consciously returning what we carry, and placing the soul back in God’s keeping so the body can fully rest. Ideal for anyone seeking a sacred, grounding close to the day and a more peaceful, wholehearted transition into sleep.
