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.

It's wonderful to have you here this evening

because tonight we are continuing with the secret garden.

But first, let's take a moment to prepare for sleep.

Focus on allowing every muscle in your face to relax. Start by releasing tension in your forehead.

Let your eyebrows feel like they're sliding down the sides of your face.

Let your lips relax and path naturally.

Let your tong fall from the roof of your mouth

and finally unclench your jaw.

Drop your shoulders to release the tension

and let your arms hang or sink down beside you.

Feel the weight of gravity,

pulling and supporting you. as you breathe in through your nose

and exhale completely,

relaxing your chest and your stomach.

Now stay calm and still while I recap our last episode. Mary was woken in the middle of the night to torrents of rain falling on the windows and the wind

whipping or wothering around Misistlethwaite Manor.

She couldn't sleep because she was so angry that if the rain kept on the next day, she might not be able to visit the garden.
