This evening meditation is a sacred return to your inner sanctuary—the same space you began with in Begin Within – A 20-Minute Morning Meditation Practice. Now, at the close of your day, you’re invited to reconnect, unwind, and celebrate all the ways your inner wisdom was honored. You’ll be guided through a gentle poetic reflection, then held in silence by soothing night sounds. This space isn’t for fixing or analyzing—it’s for receiving. A moment to breathe in all that went well, and rest in the peace of showing up for yourself. Let this practice be your nightly invitation to pause, reflect, and return home to the heart of you.

Welcome back meditation family.

You've arrived at the close of another day.

I celebrate your choice to return to this sacred space.

Allow your body to unwind.

Let the breath deepen,

The days soften,

Leaving all worries behind.

This is your time to receive.

Picture yourself stepping once more into your inner sanctuary.

The same sacred space you began the day in,

Let it hold you now with calm,

Quiet and grace once again.

Invite the feeling of being guided into delight as you reflect on how you honored your wisdom's insight.

Showing up for yourself with clarity,

Courage or care.

Not looking for perfection,

Simply being aware.

Just allow yourself to notice and celebrate every moment of alignment,

However small.

Take a soft loving breath,

Breathing it in,

Breathing in it all.

As you move into stillness with a gentle smile on purpose,

Let the highlights of your day rise gently to the surface.

Moments of presence,

Kindness,

Wisdom and love,

Let them shine in your heart knowing you're always enough.

Have a good sit.

I'll see you on the other side.

Slowly return to the breath in this moment now,

Soaking in the energy of all that went well.

Let it surround you like a warm blanket of light,

Visualizing them settling in your body and carrying you through the night.

You did well today.

You honored your wisdom in your own way.

And now you get to rest gently,

Closing your sacred space with a smile of joy on your beautiful face.

Thank your inner guide,

You,

For showing up whole,

Taking this time to feed your deserving soul.

Affirm this,

Gently say,

I celebrate who I was today.

When it's time,

May the evening's slumber fully restore,

Preparing you for tomorrow once more.

Enjoy as you peacefully rest,

Knowing you listened within today and did your best.

And remember,

You're always welcome here.
