Good evening. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone woke up well-rested every day.

That's why I and the team here at Slumber make the sleepy bookshelf.

You can join us in this mission by supporting the show via our premium feed,

which will get you add free access to the entire bookshelf and exclusive bonus episodes.

If premium isn't for you, that's okay. Recommending your favorite episode to a friend or family member is just as meaningful. Thank you so much

for your support and I hope you sleep well tonight. 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 so much for coming this evening.

Tonight we are continuing with Rainbow Valley.

But first, let's take a moment to relax our minds

and relax our bodies. Give your shoulders a roll. First, forwards.

Now maybe backwards. However many times feels good for you.

And if you're finished with that,

close your eyes and inhale deeply for one, two, three seconds and hold for one, two, three seconds.

And hold for one, two, three seconds.

Now exhale for one, two, three seconds.

Continue this box breathing and pay attention to how your body feels.

Without lingering too long, just notice each body part from your toes, working all the way up to the top of your

head. And with one more deep breath in when you're done.

Audibly sigh out your exhale and settle down.

While I recap our last episode.
