Bedtime Ritual 76

from Eclectic Cleric · host Rabbi Alon C Ferency

This soft bedtime practice is inspired by Kriat Sh'ma al haMitah — the Jewish tradition of reciting the Sh'ma before sleep. As the day ends, you'll be gently guided to set down whatever the day held — finished or unfinished — and settle into stillness. Through simple breath, a moment of reflection, and words from an ancient, beloved prayer, the practice cultivates forgiveness, protection, and a quiet sense of surrender. No particular beliefs or spiritual background required — just a willingness to end the day with intention, and to rest.
