March 13, 2020 Berry Fun: a short story and meditation for kids
Allie and Andy are excited to go berry picking. Although they're just getting to know each other they're sure to have a berry fun day!

Berry Fun Excerpt:
When Andy and his dad reached Allie’s house, she bounded out of the front door with her dad following behind. While Andy and Allie’s dads talked for a bit Allie said, “Thanks for inviting me! I’ve never been berry picking before.”

“You’re welcome.” Andy said, smiling. “This is my first time too. I guess we’ll figure it out together.”

She hopped into the car and said, “You know I really enjoyed playing that Sardines game you taught us.”

“Thanks. I’m glad you liked it. Oh look! There’s the brand new train!” Andy said, excitedly pointing out the window.

“Isn’t it cool!” Allie said. “Do you know why it’s sparkling? That’s the solar paint they used. I think it’s awesome that the train moves with energy from the sun! Don’t you?”

Andy felt surprised, then excited. Allie understood solar power, and she liked trains. He smiled and said, “Yeah, it’s pretty neat. I like how the solar energy powers the motors and then the magnets inside the track and pulls the train forward or backward, wherever it needs to go. It’s so quiet too! Listen!” Both Allie and Andy listened and could just make out a gentle hum as the train passed them by.

March 09, 2020 Soothing Sea: a calming meditation and story
Two little sharks, Shayla and Santiago play in the soothing sea, diving down to the ocean floor from the surface, and returning to the warmth of the sunlit waters.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:38
Narrator: Male
Soothing Sea Excerpt:
After refreshing themselves with a quick dive under the water, the two friends popped back up to the surface to watch the sun finish its morning journey.

“What did you have planned for today?” Santiago shark asked Shayla after they dove back under the surface.

“Well, I thought I’d get a little exercise. I’ve been feeling a little sluggish and could use some extra energy.” Shayla replied.

“That’s a good idea! Can I join you?” Santiago asked.

Shayla smiled and said, “That’s sounds like fun.” The two sharks began to swim starting with slow graceful swings of their tails. Once they felt their bodies slip into a relaxed pattern, the two sharks gradually swam faster and faster. Laughing, suddenly Santiago dove down towards the ocean floor and Shayla followed him. The two sharks zipped along through the cool water. Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.

March 06, 2020 Tricycle Trade: a mindful bedtime story
Trudy the tricycle eagerly waits to play as she welcomes a new bicycle. When the garage opens she realizes, it's time for a tricycle trade.

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:41
Narrator: Female
Tricycle Trade Excerpt:
The little red tricycle slept peacefully in the garage. Slivers of sunshine snuck through the cracks of the large door. Then the door rumbled and rose. Trudy the tricycle relaxed in the warmth of the sunlight. Then something rolled past her. It was a bicycle, with a bright purple bow on it, looking a little bit nervous. The little tricycle remembered how she felt when she first arrived in the garage, and so she decided to be the first to welcome the bicycle.

“Hi! I’m Trudy.” She said.

“I’m Bing. Is this your garage?” The bicycle said.

“Oh, no. I just park here. I help the little girl roll down the driveway safely. Judging from that bow on your handlebars, I’m sure we’ll find out who you will be helping pretty soon.

March 05, 2020 Girl Power! A short story and guided meditation for kids
Mia and her brother learn about women who have made a difference. Believing in girl power, Mia is ready to share what she learned with the world.

A special episode created for #dayofthegirl

Narrator: Female
Girl Power! Story Excerpt:
Mia’s mom smiled and said, “You can join the girls and other women who have already spoken up. Malala Yousafzai, even though she is young, continually tells the world it is important that girls receive education. Margaret Thatcher became the Prime Minister of Great Britain and spoke up, encouraging people to accept responsibility for their lives. Both you and your brother can choose any job, if you learn the skills you need and pay attention to opportunities.

You can also change your mind. Julia Child was a spy and then she had an opportunity to try cooking. She had the skills she needed and became a famous chef. Speaking up also helps share different ways of thinking. Temple Grandin has shown people the interesting things we discover when we look at the world through the unique views of different people, even animals. It is important to understand how we all impact each other.”
Today’s Meditation: Today, notice loving energy flowing through your body, from your feet up to your head.

March 03, 2020 Stuck in Mud: a bedtime story and meditation
It's a rainy day as Toby the tow truck drives along. Toby notices his friend Bodhi the beach buggy is stuck in mud. How will he get his friend moving again?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story “Roly Robot” and this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Stuck in Mud,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:37
Narrator: Male
Stuck in Mud Excerpt:
Rain pitter-pattered in a gentle rhythm on the roof. The little tow truck listened as the beat grew stronger and stronger. Soon the wind added a whistle to the rhythm of the rain. Toby wondered if the cars were struggling on the roads. The weather sounded a bit pushy. The little tow truck hoped everyone was driving safely. Then Toby heard the motor in the garage door whirr. Slowly, the door rolled up above the little tow truck, and the driver ran in.

“Are you ready to give some people a hand?” The driver asked. Toby took a deep dragon breath in and out (deep breath) to clear his mind and focus. Then he rumbled a “Yes!” as the driver turned the key.

“OK, let’s go.” The driver said.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

March 02, 2020 Robot Build: a mindful children’s story
Today's the day Billy and Emily work together on their robot build. Listen to hear how they cooperate, and how their robot turns out.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:08
Narrator: Male
Robot Build Excerpt:
Emily sighed. She knew her big brother had already read the manual twice. Emily also knew the look on Billy’s face. He needed to read it one more time. So even though Emily was eager to get started, she decided she would let her brother finish reading the instructions before suggesting that they begin the build. Instead she decided to try something else. “While you’re reading, I’ll organize the parts.” Emily suggested.

“Good idea!” Billy said as he turned to the last page of instructions.

Emily set a mat on the table and gently tipped the box to slide everything out on the table. Once she could see everything in the kit, she began to group the parts. On the mat Emily played a matching game with all the little pieces. Screws in one pile, tubes for the frame in another all sorted by size. She placed the larger parts for the robot’s body in the center of the mat.

Billy smiled and set the instruction booklet on the table. “Ok! Are you ready?” he asked his sister.

Uli the unicorn and Alyssa the doll set up a toy repair shop while the kids go to school. Listen in to hear what toys stop by.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:26
Narrator: Female
Toy Repair Shop Excerpt:
With a whiney, the gentle unicorn encouraged Alyssa to join him for another escapade. Alyssa shook her head and said, “I can’t play today. A lot of toys need my help.”

Uli quickly leaped into the toy box. “Can I help?” the unicorn asked.

Alyssa smiled a bit broader and replied, “That would be great! The race cars need new wheels; Teddy needs to be stitched up; and the blocks need some paint.”

The sparkling unicorn returned her smile as he said. “Ok, we better get going.”

“I knew you’d help.” Alyssa said. “Let’s start with the race cars.” She hopped out of the toy box carrying several new wheels. The doll rolled two wheels over to Uli as three race cars hobbled over. Then Alyssa addressed the cars saying, “Let’s get these new wheels on so you can get back to racing.”

Seahorse Twins Excerpt:
Floating on the currents, Sadie watched for someone like her. She drifted by a great big rock, and saw angelfish, sea anemones and clown fish. They all said, “Hi Sadie!” She smiled, waved her delicate fin, and continued her search. The currents moved Sadie on through a patch of seaweed. The leaves swayed gently, back and forth, back and forth. The little sea horse watched attentively as she drifted through, to find someone else like her. She saw a crab, a clam, and a sea urchin. “Hi Sadie!” They called as she drifted past. Again, Sadie smiled and waved her delicate fin. She did enjoy everyone’s company. She just wanted to know if there was anyone else like her. So the little seahorse continued on.
