Hello and welcome to relax for a while. I'm Joanne and I'm really glad you're here.

This video is a three-hour collection of fairy tales created to help you relax and fall asleep.

It includes eight gentle fairy tales, read slowly and calmly, with relaxing transitions between each story so you can

continue resting.

The stories play for a little over three hours, and after they finish, soft music

continues for a while, allowing you to stay relaxed and asleep.

You don't need to listen closely or follow along.

You can simply let the stories play in the background as you settle in and rest.

And if your mind drifts, that's completely okay. This video is meant for continuous relaxation, allowing one

story to flow gently into the next, so you don't have to wake up or adjust anything as

you listen. Go ahead and make yourself comfortable, perhaps adjusting your pillow or blanket, and allow your body to feel supported.

And now gently bring your attention to your breathing.

There's no need to change it.

Just notice the soft rhythm of your breath as it moves in and out, in and then out.

And then out. And as you breathe,

imagine a light, gentle breeze moving around you.

Not cold, not strong.

Just calm and steady.

With each slow breath out, that breeze seems to carry away a little bit of tension from your shoulders, your jaw, your hands.

There's nothing you need to do, just resting as everything begins to slow down.

And as we begin our first story, the wind fairies, you can imagine that same gentle breeze

continuing to move around you, helping your thoughts drift, and your body relax even more deeply.
