About this session
- Eases end-of-day tension
- Builds gratitude
- Deepens compassion
- Invites restful sleep
This is a group meditation led by Sarah Prout. You begin with held breaths and long exhales to drop the day's stress, then speak a short thank-you to the universe. After a moment of looking back over your day, you imagine a vast shared space with thousands of others, all settling down together.
It suits evenings when you want to feel less alone and end the day on a kind note. Use it as the last thing before bed, or on a quiet late night when your thoughts are busy. You can drift off during it or simply open your eyes at the close.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the 'group immersion' Sarah Prout refers to?
It is the idea that you are meditating alongside thousands of other people with one shared intention. She describes a stadium that love built, seen in your mind's eye, where everyone gathers to end the day well. The aim is to feel that you are not alone and that your energy joins a collective one.
Why does the session begin with holding the breath?
You take a deep breath, hold it, and release it on the exhale a few times. Sarah frames each exhale as an invitation to let go of negativity, fear, stress or concern you held in your body during the day. The third round turns your attention to the present moment and to surrender.
What am I asked to be grateful for?
You are asked to reflect on people, experiences and moments that brought joy or love, and to find three things to be grateful for. If nothing comes, you are told to feel grateful simply that you are here in the group together. She suggests making this a daily ritual.
Who do I send love to, and what is the crystal about?
You direct love to the people near to you and your community, then to the world's leaders, then to people who feel forgotten or have faced hardship. You place your hands on your heart while doing so. Finally, you picture a sphere at the earth's core holding a rainbow-coloured gem that glows brighter with every bit of love sent.
Do I need to share the beliefs in the invocation for it to work?
The session speaks directly to the universe, uses words like divine plan and vibration, and closes with 'so be it, and so it is'. If that language resonates, it adds to the feeling of devotion. If not, you can still follow the breathing, gratitude and kind wishes in your own terms.
How does it end?
Sarah thanks everyone for taking part and says the session will prompt deep sleep and rejuvenating rest. After a closing thanks, she says you can open your eyes or drift off into a deep sleep, so you can choose what suits your night.
