Welcome, I'm Joanne, and this is Driftov.

Before I begin with tonight's bedtime story, I will be guiding you through a full-body

relaxation, and then we'll journey together into the world of imagination as I read to

you an old Japanese folk tale called the Moon Maiden.

This is an adapted version from the original story, where I use my own imagination and

creating this soothing tale that I hope will help allow you to sleep.

Now, if you prefer to listen to the story without the guided relaxation, then please feel

free to navigate the timestamps or the chapters in the description below to move ahead directly

to the story.

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.

So let's begin by settling into your sleep space.

Lending your body is into a comfortable position that feels just right for you, where

you feel safe and supported.

And as your body begins to let go and soften, you can focus on your breathing.

Lending in relaxation, and as you exhale, letting go of tension.

And if you like, you can place your hand gently over your belly as this can bring a feeling

of comfort and noticing the soothing warmth from your hand as it rests on your belly.

You're seeing the rise and fall with each breath as you breathe in and as you breathe

out.
