Evening – Sunset Calm & Gentle Closure
Wander slowly beneath the setting sun, letting the soft glow of evening wrap around you. With each unhurried step, feel your body grounding, your breath deepening, and your spirit gently soothed by the quiet rhythm of twilight. As the sun dips toward the horizon, step into the garden for meditation, sitting quietly and allowing the evening sounds of nature to fill your awareness. Light a Christmas candle and let the warm, comforting aromas of cinnamon, zesty orange, and sacred frankincense gently envelop your space, inviting a serene, festive ambiance. Dinner is light, seasonal, and refreshing, the perfect balance of nourishment and ease. Close the day with a twilight ritual—a refreshing cool shower, then apply a delicate layer of coconut moisturising oil to hydrate the skin. Last but not least enjoy the luxury of soft cotton or flowing silk pyjamas, a soothing touch of nurturing softness.
