About this session
- Builds self-awareness
- Eases emotional reactions
- Quiets the mind
- Prepares you for rest
This is a 14-minute guided meditation for the end of the day, led by Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani. You look back over moments that stirred a reaction and ask one simple question of each: is this really about me? That pause creates a little space between event and feeling.
It suits anyone who goes to bed still turning over a comment, a tense exchange or a mood they can't place. Use it at night, after the day's noise has settled, when you want to understand your reactions a little better before you rest.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does 'Is this about me?' actually ask?
It invites you to look at a moment that stung and check whether the reaction belongs to you or to the situation, the other person or an old habit. The meditation is built around that pause. It helps you see your reaction with clearer eyes before you sleep.
Why is this meditation meant for night?
Night is when the day's unresolved moments tend to resurface. Reviewing them here lets you notice them and put them down, rather than carry them into sleep. It is listed for night use.
Do I need to have a specific moment in mind?
It helps to have one, such as a remark, a tense exchange or a mood that lingered. If nothing comes, you can simply notice what feels unsettled as you look back over the day.
How is this different from a sleep meditation?
It is a self-awareness practice first. Rest is a welcome result, but the main work is reflecting on your emotional reactions. If you only want to drift off, a pure sleep track may suit you better.
Can I use the question during the day?
Yes. The same question, is this about me, can be asked quietly when something stings in the moment. Practising it at night makes it easier to recall when you need it.
