Pre-Sleep Inventory

17 min

Best for: racing thoughts at bedtime

Pre-Sleep Inventory is a guided practice for the moments after the lamp clicks off, when the mind opens a page you did not ask for. You'll meet the inner auditor, the small voice listing what got done, what slipped, what tomorrow already has booked, and practise noticing it without finishing its work. Through gentle attention and spacious silence, you'll let the body's pull toward sleep outweigh the mind's pull toward review. A steadying companion for nights when thinking arrives uninvited.

Tender, reassuring, steady

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
