Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf,

where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm your host, Elizabeth.

Thank you for coming tonight.

This evening we are continuing with Anne's House of Dreams.

But before we begin,

let's take some time to get comfortable in bed.

Once you've found a cosy spot,

take a big inhale,

and then a deep sigh to let it all go.

Work your way up from your toes to your eyebrows, gently tensing and releasing each muscle in your body.

Going back to repeat any areas that need extra attention.

Don't worry about falling asleep.

We all drift off in our own time.

Allow your mind to be enticed into this charming story and move away from any thoughts from the day that's trying to steal your focus.
