About this session
- Eases you toward sleep
- Releases daily tension
- Builds energy awareness
- Savours good moments
Anodea Judith leads you into an imagined temple at dusk, with incense, candles and quiet people on mats. From the crown of your head down to the base of your spine, you ask each chakra what your day held, then fold its petals closed around the moments worth keeping.
It suits anyone who tends to carry the day's noise into bed, or who rarely stops to notice what went well. Use it as a nightly ritual, once the work is done and you're ready to wind down. It ends with a gentle walk to bed.

What does it mean to fold up the petals of each chakra?
Each chakra is pictured as a lotus with a set number of petals. Once you've recalled the moments you want to keep, you imagine the petals gently closing around them, the way a flower shuts at night. The idea is that your experiences stay safe inside you while you sleep.
In what order does the meditation move through the chakras?
It goes from the top down. You begin with the crown (a thousand petals), then the brow (two petals), the throat (16), the heart (12 green petals), the solar plexus (10 yellow), the sacral (6 orange) and finally the root (4 red). This downward path settles your energy toward the ground, ready for rest.
What questions am I asked about each part of my day?
Each centre has its own theme. The crown asks what you thought and learned, the brow what you saw, and the throat what you said, heard and laughed or cried about. The heart asks where you gave and felt love, the solar plexus where you felt powerful, and the sacral what you felt and enjoyed, such as a warm cup of tea. The root asks what your body went through.
Why does the root chakra come last?
Anodea Judith describes the root as the place of the Goddess Shakti, the life force, who rests once she reaches the earth. As you bring your energy down, you feel your body settle into the ground and into your bones, and you thank it for the day. That is what leads into deeper stillness.
Why begin in a temple?
The temple scene sets an evening mood before any reflection starts. You bow at the threshold, smell incense, see candles and greet others with a silent namaste. At the end, a soft bell rings, the candles go out, you roll up your mat and walk to your bed, so the meditation flows straight into sleep.
What if parts of my day didn't go well?
You're not asked to dwell on them. You only harvest what you want to keep. In the last moments, if anything wasn't what you wanted, you promise yourself you'll do it better tomorrow, then say good night.
