You're going to see. Welcome to this episode of Drift Off Bedtime Stories.

I'm your host Joanne and I'm so glad you've joined me here at Driftoff. Tonight we have a

special retelling of a classic fairy tale the Light Princess. This enchanting

story written by George McDonald explores themes of love,

sacrifice, and the power of true emotion.

Now, let's take a few moments to prepare ourselves for the journey ahead.

Find a comfortable position,

whether you're nestled in bed or cozy up in your favorite chair.

Gently close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath.

Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling the cool air, fill your lungs.

And then exhale slowly out through your mouth, releasing any tension. As you continue to breathe deeply and steadily,

Imagine or sense a warm golden light at the top of your head.

With age inhalation, visualize this light slowly moving down, spreading warmth and relaxation through your body.

Feel it gently flow down your forehead, using any tightness in your brow.

Let it flow down to your neck and shoulders, melting away any stiffness or stress.

As this golden light flows down your arms, imagine it reaching the tips of your fingers,

leaving a sense of calm and heaviness.
