    In this episode I share with you the simplicity of a beautiful spiritual principle of, "Energy goes where attention flows," that I first learned while reading the book, Mastering Your Hidden Self, by Serge Kahali King.

  • Replay: Light Infusion + TV Guide January 1963

    Hi Sweet Ones - Enjoy this replay of episode #138!

    🌸 Hello Beautiful Friends! Welcome to episode 138 of Sleepy Bedtime Blessings! I am your host Laurel Bleadon-Maffei and in this episode, the angels bring forth a beautiful infusion of light to help you connect with the quality of self-love and the magic in your soul.

    For storytime, we take a stroll down memory lane and flip through the pages of TV Guide from January 1963. Although I was only eight months old at the time and have no memories of watching live TV back then, many of the programs listed in this issue are familiar to many of us who grew up as TV watchers in the years to come. 1963's programming included Beverly Hillbillies, Ed Sullivan, Dick Van Dyke and The Jetsons. 📺

    So, sit back, relax, and let the angels and I soothe you into dreamland. 💤
