Rabbi Alon C Ferency

As you prepare for bed, take a moment to settle in and make yourself truly comfortable. This meditation draws inspiration from the Jewish bedtime ritual, reimagined to bring peace and rest to anyone, no matter your background. These prayers have been thoughtfully adapted to create a soothing, universal experience—a bridge from the busyness of your day to the tranquility of the night.   Begin by finding a cozy position and taking a few deep, steady breaths. Let the calming words guide you, releasing any lingering thoughts, tension, or worries. With each breath, feel a wave of relaxation washing over you, wrapping you in calmness and serenity.   This is your time to unwind, to be held by a tradition of comfort and protection. Let the day slip away as you sink into peaceful rest, knowing you're embraced by tranquility. Sleep deeply and wake restored, ready to greet a new day with clarity and energy.
