A Moonlight Blessing: Releasing The Day

A blessing is not a prayer that requires a particular belief. It is a spoken intention — a way of telling your nervous system, in language it can understand, that the day is complete. In many traditions, the spoken word at the threshold of sleep is considered especially potent, because the mind is most open in that liminal space between waking and rest. What we say to ourselves in those last moments tends to settle into the body and carry us through the night. This blessing is that threshold. Receive it gently.
