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 Elizabeth, your host.

It is wonderful to be here with you this evening.

Tonight we are continuing with Jill.

But before we open our book, let's take some time to relax and unwind.

Starting with your toes, work your way up your body,

squeezing and relaxing your muscles as you go

to release any excess tension.

Up your legs,

to your glutes, your hands and arms, then your back and shoulders.

Working your way up to your head, making sure you don't forget your facial muscles.

You should feel much more relaxed now.

But to clear your mind, let's take some deep breaths.

Inhale, collecting together all your worries and concerns from the day,

and now exhale, letting them all go. Let's do that again.

Inhale.

And exhale.

Repeat this as many times as you need

and try to focus on the sound of my voice.
