    808. Dragon’s New Home: a children’s story and guided relaxation

    808. Dragon’s New Home: a children’s story and guided relaxation

    Dragon feels like it might be time for a change and goes looking for a new place to stay. Where will Dragon find a home?



    Narrator: Female



    Story Begins: 3:40



    Dragon's New Home Excerpt:

    It was a usual day in the Ahway Island forest.  An orange and yellow Monarch butterfly gracefully flitted through a patch of milkweed, flitting from flower to flower as occasional clouds drifted ever so slowly through the bright blue sky. The truth was, it was a usual day for all the creatures of the forest except one: Dragon.



    Today, Dragon felt different, somehow. It all started the other week, when Dragon saw a flock of geese migrating in the sky. It had never occurred to Dragon before that some creatures move their homes at different points in their lives. Dragon wondered if they should find a new home, too.

    Today’s Meditation: Imagine drawing gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you relax before today's story.

    391. Relaxing Rain: a kids’ relaxation and calming tale

    Dragon still doesn't like loud storms, but the kids share some helpful ways to cope!

    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Relaxing Rain,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!

    Narrator: Male



    Story Begins: 8:10



    Relaxing Rain Excerpt:



    Dragon giggled as Allie chased and Julia and James scattered. They were busy playing tag at the park as more and more clouds filled the sky. Even though they played under the bright warm sun, the distant sky grew darker and darker. Dragon zigged and zagged to keep from being tagged, when a low rumble echoed in the distance. Dragon stopped, ears up and alert. Noticing the dark sky approach Dragon quickly zipped into the tunnel slide and curled into a ball.



    Concerned, Allie, James, and Julia rushed over to the slide.



    “Dragon? Are you OK?” Allie asked.

    Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.

    807. The Noisy Machine: a bedtime story and meditation story for kids

    807. The Noisy Machine: a bedtime story and meditation story for kids

    Missy the dog has a fun day filled with sunshine, a cozy bath, and a noisy new tool that, at first, seems scary but turns out to be helpful with cleaning!



    Narrator: Female



    Story Begins: 3:27



    The Noisy Machine Excerpt:

    It was a bright, warm afternoon on Ahway Island. Missy Dog was home alone, resting her head on the arm of her comfy, brown sofa. As she looked out the window, she watched the birds swoop from tree to tree and listened to the playful cheering of the neighborhood kids in the distance. Missy enjoyed the radiant sunlight warming her face.



    As Missy sat there, basking in the lovely glow of her forever home, her ears perked up. She recognized the sound of the garage door opener and the low, quiet hum of a car engine. Someone was home! Missy leapt off the sofa and quickly dashed over to the door to the garage. As the jingle of keys reached the lock, Missy pressed her nose to the crack in the door, hoping to get a better whiff of the person holding the keys.

    Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

    805. The Card Castle: a meditation and story for your bedtime routine

    805. The Card Castle: a meditation and story for your bedtime routine

    Emily and her brother Billy build a tall tower of cards on a cold winter day.



    Narrator: Male



    Story Begins: 4:13



    The Card Castle Excerpt:

    It was a cold, winter afternoon on Ahway Island. The snow fell heavily from the sky and made a deep blanket that covered all the grass and streets in town. All the neighborhood kids were inside keeping warm, and the Parker family was no exception.



    In her warm living room, Emily Parker was playing with her big brother, Billy. Even though they both loved to play in the snow, they decided to stay inside because it was just too frigid and windy outdoors. Emily could hear the brisk air whistling wildly around her house.

    Today’s Meditation: Picture floating in the safe and comforting waters of a tranquil pool.

    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Cheerful Chat,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!

    Narrator: Female



    Story Begins: 9:37



    Cheerful Chat Excerpt:

    Roly the toy robot waited for the kids to return after lunch, eager to learn more from Billy and Emily. She wondered what else they would teach her today. The colorful little robot had so many questions about her world. She knew how to move forward and back, and what a foot was. Roly also knew she could understand Emily and Billy through the tablet. Now she wondered if Billy and Emily would be able to understand her. The little robot hoped so. She had so many questions.



    At that moment the kids hurried back to the table. They seemed to have a plan. Roly listened intently as Emily picked up the tablet, smiling. Billy smiled too as he placed his favorite green train down in front of the robot. Roly felt a cozy warmth fill her head as she heard, “This is a toy train.”

    804. Balancing Act: a relaxing bedtime story for children

    Colin Car helps Courtney go camping by carrying all her luggage on the roof! Will he be able to balance it all?



    Narrator: Male



    Story Begins: 3:36



    Balancing Act Excerpt:

    It was a lovely, warm afternoon on Ahway Island. The neighborhood children were outside enjoying the sun on their faces as they played games with one another. Birds chirped as they glided from tree to tree and the smell of freshly cut grass traveled on the wind.



    In his cozy garage, Colin car was waking up from his midday nap. As he admired the bright blue sky through his window, he heard the jingle of keys making their way closer to the door of the garage. He shook off his last bit of sleepiness as his driver, Courtney, came through the door. As Courtney pressed the button to open the big rolling garage door, Colin remembered what day it was. “It’s Friday today!” Colin thought to himself with joy.

    Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
