Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai, I read and write all the stories you hear on nothing much happens,

with audio engineering by Bob Witter-Shine.

Before we settle into night, I want to tell you some exciting news.

For years, you've asked me for a podcast to help you start your day.

Something to put you in a good frame of mind, and help you feel focused and centered.

So I've used my 20 years of experience as a yoga and meditation teacher, to create first

this, a short meditation and mindfulness podcast.

The first episode is up and waiting for you now.

You can subscribe through the links in our show notes, or just by searching first this

through your podcast app.

There will be a new episode every week, and I hope it will be useful and enjoyable for

you.

Now, busy minds need a place to rest.

And that's what the story I'm about to tell you is.

A sort of oasis away from the rest of the world.

By following along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the story, you'll

shift your brain activity in a way that will let you sleep.

And the more you do it, the stronger and more reliable that response will become.

I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

Now, it's time to turn off the light and set down anything you've been looking at.
