Welcome, I'm Joanne, and this is Driftov, a soft place for you to land at the end of the day.

I'd like to offer you a calming bedtime story tonight, softly told, with a nice soft

gentle voice that I hope will help you feel nurtured, safe, and at ease so you can

drift off. There is no softer pillow than a quiet mind, and a soothing bedtime story

will help do just that. It will offer your mind a calming distraction so you can effortlessly

ease into restfulness. It really is that simple. So, are you ready for a bedtime story?

Well then, get comfy and cozy in your bed and snuggle uptight, and let me be your guide now.

Sweet dreams, my friend, and good night.

Hello, and welcome. I'm Joanne, and thank you for joining me.

So take a moment now to settle in comfortably into your sleep space,

relishing that wonderful feeling of finally smuggling down into the softness of your bed after a long

day, knowing that you can let everything go now, let all those cares and worries drift away,

as you follow my voice now on this bedtime journey, letting yourself drift away to another place in time,

and then from there, all the way down to the land of sound restful sleep.

If you wish, you may enjoy taking a few slow, comfortable deep breaths as a way of sending a message,

letting your body in mind know that you are safe, and that it's safe to relax.

As you breathe in, filling your body with relaxation from your feet,

all the way to the top of your head, and hold briefly,
