Hello, friends, this is Cheryl, and welcome to Sleep, Tight, Relax, a bedtime podcast for the young

and young at heart.

In this episode, we will be joining a family of geese as they visit their cousins in the country for the day.

With the story, we are going to combine the gentle sounds of nature and music to help you relax and become calm and peaceful.

It's time to rest, so let's take some time to get cozy and comfortable.

Turn down your lights and your room should be free from distractions.

Make sure you are comfortable in bed, letting your body ease into whatever position you feel the most comfortable.

Cuddle up to your favorite toy or stuffed friends.

Close your eyes if you'd like and take in a very slow, deep breath.

Continue breathing deeply and feel the cool air come in through your nose and flow all the way down to your belly.

Feel your belly expand outwards as you breathe deeply.

Take a deep breath in through your nose and release the air through your mouth.

Breathe in. breathe in and breathe out take your time breathe in and release the air.

Notice how the breath feels as it softly flows in through your nose,

into your throat,

and further and further down it goes.

Breathe in, and breathe out.

And breathe out.

Good.

I hope you are starting to feel more relaxed.

After our story, I'll check back in with you again

and leave you with some relaxing sounds to fall asleep to.
