December 11, 2020 157. New School: a relaxation and story for your nap time routine
Today is Raj's first day at his new school. He's feeling nervous. Who will reach out with kindness first?
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 “New School" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
The Build Excerpt:
It was the first day at Raj’s new school. As he waited for the bus, he began to feel nervous. Raj imagined all kinds of things. He thought about the new friends he would meet. He thought about the new things he would learn this year. Then he took a deep dragon breath in and out and slowed his running thoughts. He knew that staying present would help him through this exciting day. So Raj took another deep breath in and out, and then he took one more deep breath in and out, feeling calm.

The bus pulled up and Raj stepped on, not sure where to sit. So, Raj sat down quickly in the front seat. Maybe on the way home, he would know who to sit by. Raj smiled at the kids across the aisle from him and they smiled back.

“That wasn’t too bad,” Raj thought.

The bus stopped again and again. Most of the kids got on, nodded hello to Raj, and then walked back further on the bus. Then at one bus stop two boys stepped on.

"Hi!” one boy said. “Haven’t seen you around before. I’m Owen and this is Andy.”

“I’m Raj,” Raj replied. “I just moved here.”

“Great! We’ll show you around. Do you mind if I sit here?”

Raj shook his head 'no' and Owen sat next to Raj. Andy sat in the seat behind them. The three boys chatted the rest of the way to the school.

When the bus stopped Andy said, “OK, follow us. We’ll show you what to do.”

December 07, 2020 450. Terrific Tree: a short story and meditation for kids
Peanut and Nutsy the Squirrels check on the acorn they planted. Has it grown since they saw it last?

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:39
Terrific Tree Excerpt:
Peanut the Squirrel sat on a sturdy branch next to the trunk of the oak tree. She sniffed the air as a breeze circled around her and ruffled her fur. The leaves whistled as the wind danced around them. The red squirrel took a deep dragon breath, in and out, wondering where her friend Nutsy was. He would enjoy the refreshing breeze too.

Just then, Peanut heard a rustling of leaves. She looked up in time to see Nutsy tumbling down through the branches. Nutsy rolled to a stop at her feet.

“Whoops!” he said as he stood up. “I guess I missed that branch by a little bit. It’s good I have lightning quick reflexes.”

Peanut giggled and shook her head. “If you would slow down just a little Nutsy, you wouldn’t fall through the tree so often. But I’m glad you’re here. Isn’t the breeze wonderful?”

As an answer to her comment the breeze circled the two squirrels, fluffing up their fur.

Oliver the Elephant and Henrietta Hippo blow bubbles in the pool. Dragon joins them and playfully adds dragon bubbles to the mix.

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:16
Dragon Bubbles Excerpt:
Then the dragon heard something. It sounded a little like air bubbling up to the surface of a spring. Bloop, Bloop, Bloop. So the interested dragon turned to look at the pool. Sure enough, there were bubbles popping on the surface. The dragon looked a little closer and noticed that there were two eyes and two ears right behind the bubbles. The cautious dragon backed up as something began to rise out of the pool.

“Hi! I’m Henrietta!” the hippopotamus said with a gigantic smile.

The relieved dragon relaxed, and nodded a hello to the little hippo. Feeling curious about the bubbles, the dragon took a deep dragon breath in and out and the fire danced about until it revealed a question mark, followed by a the image of bubbles popping on the surface of the pond.

“Oh!” Henrietta said, with a wide grin. “You want to know how I made the bubbles. Like this.”

The little hippo took a deep dragon breath in, dunked her nose in the water, and blew the air out through her nose. Big bubbles floated up to the surface of the pool, followed by smaller and smaller bubbles. She lifted her snout back out and smiled at the dragon.

November 30, 2020 448. Big Pond

Dylan the duck wants a place to swim. His friend Zara is eager to help him. What will she do?

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:47
Big Pond Excerpt:
Zara the Kitten napped in the sunlight with her friend Dylan the Duck. The cozy warmth of her sunny spot caused the little kitten to purr. As she relaxed, a cloud drifted across the sky, covering the sun for just a moment. With that interruption, Zara sat up and Dylan quacked. It was a good time to get up. The little kitten hopped off the couch and waited while Dylan waddled his way down to the floor. Zara felt thirsty, so she hurried to her water fountain for a drink. As she did, Dylan waddled over and started to step into Zara’s water.

Zara meowed and moved quickly, so that her friend would not be able to wade in her dish. Dylan quacked at her. He needed to swim. The little kitten understood her friend needed water, but she did not want stinky feet in her drink. She thought a minute about how to help her friend. Then she smiled as an idea filled her head.

The construction crew has a new build. What will they make today?
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 “The Build" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
The Build Excerpt:
Ellie the Excavator woke with a smile, as usual. She was ready to continue the tunnel project and hoped that the others were ready as well. Sunshine spilled into her cozy garage as the door slowly rolled open. Ellie rumbled happily out of her garage, excited to see the others. Of course Danny the Dump Truck was already out and waiting for Ellie. He felt excited, too.

“What took you so long?” Danny asked with a twinkle in his eye.

“I didn’t want to wake you,” Ellie replied, smiling. “Are you ready to work on the tunnel again?”

“I sure am! I think the train noticed us last time, and wants to use it as well. So we had better get going,” Danny said.

“Hold on, Danny.” Ellie understood his excitement; she wanted to impress the train, too. “We’re going to need the others today. We finished digging the trench, remember?”

Then the little excavator spotted Dizzy the Concrete Mixer. Dizzy drove over towards them, already spinning. Ronald the Roller joined them as well, eager to get started.

Then the Contractor walked out to the construction crew.

“OK, everyone.” He paused. “Ellie and Danny have done a great job digging the tunnel carefully through the forest.”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

November 23, 2020 446. Wobbly Wheelbarrow
Wanda the Wheelbarrow wonders what will happen today. As she waits, the door to the shed opens. Max and Mia want to do some gardening and they need her help!

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:22
Wobbly Wheelbarrow Excerpt:
A flicker of light rolled through the opening below the red shed doors. The little wheelbarrow smiled as light traveled up, up, up, between the doors, finally spilling through the window. It was morning!

Wanda the Wheelbarrow loved watching the sunrise. She wondered what she might do today. Would she help a new tree find a home? Would she help make a new bed for some colorful flowers? Maybe she would help make a garden. Her mind raced with the possibilities. She needed to calm herself, so Wanda took a deep Dragon Breath, in and out. That felt better. The little wheelbarrow felt a bit calmer.

Then she heard the doors squeak. Someone was coming! The little orange wheelbarrow could hardly wait for the door to open. Sunshine flooded into the shed. As Wanda grew accustomed to the light, she noticed a little boy and girl standing there.

“What should we do today?” the girl asked the boy.

“I don’t know, Mia,” he replied. “I was thinking about the garden, and what we need to get started.”

November 20, 2020 154. Dragonfly Dance: a story and meditation for your bedtime routine
Dharma the Dragonfly enjoys her little pond home. The others feel the love in her dragonfly dance.
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 “Dragonfly Dance" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Dragonfly Dance Excerpt:
Dharma the Dragonfly had been admiring the forest’s beauty as she hovered over the little pond. Now that the breeze had stirred things up a bit, she laughed. The trees wobbled in their reflections with the movement on the pond. Dharma danced from one end of the pond to the other, smiling at the white lotus and the purple water lilies as she zipped in and around the flowers.

The little dragonfly wondered at how the lotus sprung up from the water, as she danced twirling around their bright petals. The water lilies floated with a gentle rock as the breeze rippled the pond. Dharma continued to dance.

A frog hopped onto the lily pad and croaked a ribbit, admiring the dragonfly ballet. Dharma smiled politely and zig-zagged along the edge of the pond. She hovered once more as she noticed that the ripples across the pond begin to smooth out. The pond became as still as glass and the flowers and trees appeared crystal-clear in the watery mirror again.

Dharma noticed that there seemed to be another dragonfly staring right at her. The other dragonfly was a shimmering blue green, just like Dharma. When Dharma zigged, the other dragonfly zigged. When Dharma zagged, the other dragonfly zagged. And when Dharma hovered, the other dragonfly hovered. Dharma remembered that the pond was still once again and it reflected the trees and flowers very accurately. So she flew away from the pond, and so did the other dragonfly.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

Anora leads Javier, Brian, and Winfield through the forest to meet Dragon.

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:28
Dragon's New Friends Excerpt:
Anora danced in her living room, eager to see Javier and Brian. They would be there any minute. She noticed a bit of movement outside and hurried to the front door. Even before Javier and Brian had pushed the doorbell, Anora had opened the door, smiling widely.

“Are you guys ready for another hike?” she asked.

Javier and Brian returned her smile and shouted, “Yes!” They were just as excited as Anora to be exploring the forest.

Anora skipped out the door and said, “Follow me!”

She led them through the meadow next to her house. The tall grasses and wildflowers rippled with each passing breeze. The three friends stopped for a moment and took a deep Dragon Breath, in and out.

“Ahhh,” Javier said with a smile, enjoying the delicate scent of the flowers.

Today’s Meditation: Today, enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

Dragon is inspired by a story about the enchanted forest sharing roots and growing closer together.
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 “Sharing Roots" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Sharing Roots Excerpt:
The animals gathered at the cozy cave, eager to hear about the train and the new lands the dragon had been exploring. The dragon yawned, feeling very tired, and took a deep dragon breath, in and out. The dragon could see the curiosity on the animals' faces and decided to tell them about the train. So the dragon took a deep breath in and out and through the flickering flames, showed everyone the train, with people moving on and off. Then the dragon took another dragon breath in and out and through the flowing fire, showed the people getting off and on again in a different place. The place looked very different to the forest animals.

“Oh! So that’s what the train does,” Sachi the Snake said. “It carries people from place to place. But what is that place they are going to?”

The dragon smiled and took one more deep dragon breath, in and out. A book appeared in the fire and opened, with a question mark following. The dragon looked at Odin, the great horned owl, with a smile and a flutter of eyelids.

The gentle owl smiled and said, “I would be happy to tell a story.”

So the owl began, reminding all the animals of the unity in the forest.

November 09, 2020 441. Off-Road Adventures: a story and meditation for your bedtime routine

— Javier and Anora join Brian for a hike as he tries out Winfield's off-road wheels on different terrain.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:52
Off-Road Adventures Excerpt:
Brian loved watching the sun come up in the morning, especially when he felt there was a wonderful day ahead...and that was just about every day! Eager to greet the sun today, Brian and Winfield, his wheelchair, rolled over to the window. Then, gently moving the delicate curtain aside, Brian peered out. Sunlight streamed through the window. Brian took a deep Dragon Breath, in and out, enjoying the warmth. What a beautiful day! Now it was time for breakfast! Brian and Winfield rolled over to the kitchen table to have some breakfast with his mom and dad.

As Brian ate, he gazed at the front door, waiting for a knock. He hoped Javier and Anora would arrive soon. Brian could hardly wait to try a hike in the woods. Now that Winfield had some off-road tires, Brian wanted to explore everything he could. With a full belly, Brian rolled his dishes over to the sink to help his dad and mom clean up. As they washed, dried, and put them away, Brian imagined what it would be like to roll through the woods without a sidewalk anywhere in sight.
