Let the body know that striving is finished for now and entrust the night without turning sleep into another task.

Opening
Sleep cannot be commanded. This is only an invitation to stop working at the day.
Read the whole practice before you begin
1
Regulate
60 seconds
Choose either the optional timed 4–2–6 guide or visual and contact-point grounding in the player. No counting or breath focus is required.
Ease matters more than the pattern.
2
Embody
30 seconds
Feel the weight of your head, back, hands and legs being carried. Unclench the tongue and let the bed do the holding.
Nothing to hold up for these thirty seconds.
3
Evoke
30 seconds · optional
Invite a memory of safety or quiet — real or imagined — without forcing it. If that is difficult, notice one neutral point of contact instead.
A neutral sensation is enough; this step may be skipped.
4
Articulate
30 seconds
Say slowly: I release this day and all I could not finish. Hold what I cannot solve tonight. Let rest come in its own time.
Repeat the prayer three times, then let words end.
Repeat 3 times.
5
Release
30 seconds
Give thanks for the support beneath you. Release the effort to make sleep happen. Resting wakefully still counts as rest.
No performance, no guarantee, nothing more to do.
Optional listening
Choose sound or silence before starting
Ocean or rainforest sound can mask an inconsistent environment for some listeners. Continuous-noise sleep evidence is limited, so use it for comfort rather than treatment.
Use speakers at the lowest comfortable level. The in-page player is unloaded when the three-minute session ends. For listening outside the session, set a timer in YouTube or on your device; this app does not control external playback. Avoid overnight earbuds. Silence is always a complete choice.
This is music-supported prayer, not professional music therapy. No player loads until you choose it. Only one in-page player can remain loaded; it can continue behind the timer and is unloaded when the session ends.

This player is hosted by YouTube. It loads only when you choose — nothing is sent to YouTube before then.
Evidence describes the listening format or tradition, not a proven therapeutic effect of this particular video.
Choice, access and care
Every instruction is visible as text. Sit, stand or lie down; keep eyes open if that feels safer. The 4–2–6 count is an option, never a requirement: skip the hold or breathe naturally. Sound and emotional evocation are optional.
Stop or return to ordinary breathing if you feel dizzy, air-hungry, numb, panicky or unwell. This practice does not replace medical or mental-health care. It does not guarantee healing, another person's response, or any external outcome.
Three minutes · five-stage sequence
Sound is optional. A player loaded above can continue behind the timer and will be unloaded when the session ends. Nothing is recorded.
