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 so lovely to be here with you this evening,

because tonight we are continuing with Villad.

But first, let's take some time for ourselves.

Lying on your back if you can rest your arms comfortably by your sight.

Close your eyes and feel the contact you have with your mouth. your and out and check in with yourself.

How are you feeling right now?

Spread your awareness throughout your body.

How does it feel physically?

How does your mattress feel under you?

The sheets or blankets on top of you, the temperature of the air

around you can hear.

The sounds you can hear.

Taking the time to notice different sensations is a great way to bring yourself into the present

and to stop thinking about what has been or what is coming.

So keep breathing in and down.

And slowly. and slowly bring your awareness to my voice as I recap on the last episode. Lucy stayed on at the Bretons for two weeks past the beginning of the new term.
