judicious choices


… rituals end the day with contemplation, gratitude, awareness and preparation, giving us tasks to adjust ourselves if traveling, making us aware of the environment for the hours of night, when our visual sense is less strong. Ayurveda counsels on judicious choices when we are tired or unable to see: the use of alcohol, the engagement in sex, the evening meditation practice, conscious conclusion of the day with recall and review; and then the rasayana of sleep, or nidra yoga.
