Waking up to a blanket of snow Dragon feels eager to play and create another snow dragon. The kids and animals join Dragon in the day’s snow fun!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:50
Narrator: Female
Snow Fun Excerpt:
Dragon swept a clear aisle with strong pushes from Dragon’s tail moving right and left of the cave’s entrance. As Dragon pushed the snow, it compacted together forming walls. Dragon smiled. This snow was just right to make snow creatures! Knowing that the kids liked to make snow people Dragon decided to head to the edge of the forest for some fun. Curious to see what Dragon was up to, the little bunny followed hopping from one Dragon footprint to the next through the deep snow.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with warmth and love as you send your loving energy to the world.

Ready for a Dragon adventure? Today Dragon follows the sparkling train to the beach and meets some new friends in the soft warm sand.
Welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Dragon Adventure,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:59
Narrator: Female
Dragon Adventure Story Excerpt:
Wondering if the train would come back, the dragon decided to relax on the beach and wait. Landing on the soft warm sand, the dragon sighed happily. This would be a wonderful spot to rest. The dragon, tucking toes into the cozy sand, settled in. In the meantime, the dragon listened to the waves crashing on the sand, and looked around at the peaceful beach. There was something blue in the sand. Puzzled, the dragon reached over and pulled it out. It was a sand bucket, great for making castles. The bucket smiled at the dragon and said, “Thanks! I thought I would be stuck there all night! I’m Benji. I haven’t seen you around before.”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

Dragon notices the forest animals shivering and uses dragon fire to create a cozy campfire outside of the cave for everyone to share.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:17
Narrator: Male
Dragon Fire Excerpt:
Dragon smiled at the animals, and took a deep breath in and out, (deep breath). Gentle flames flickered out of Dragon’s mouth towards the twigs and leaves. The kindling began to glow as fire rose from them. Flames took off from the twigs running to the branches, and finally they began to settle on the logs. Crackling sounds filled the air as smoke floated up to the sky. The animals had seen the Dragon fire before but wondered what this was. Then they felt the warmth spilling out from the fire on the logs. They stopped huddling together. The raccoons left their partially made shelter and scampered over to the fire. They basked in the glow and held their hand out warming them. The bunnies quickly hopped over taking their place around the dancing fire, followed by the squirrels.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

Dragon notices something zipping across the night sky. The little bat invites Dragon for a snack and our batty dragon zig-zags along.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 5:34
Narrator: Male
Batty Dragon Excerpt:
In the fading sunlight a dark shape zipped around against the sky. The shape quickly flew one way and then another, zig-zagging across the field.
Dragon wondered what it could be. As the sky darkened and Dragon lost track of the zig-zagging shape. Soon the stars and moon sparkled brightly above. Dragon walked along staring up at the twinkling sky with a smile of contentment. Occasionally something covered up a few stars here, a few stars there. Then, as Dragon wondered what was blocking the stars, something zipped right up to Dragon’s nose and hovered in front.
“Oh, hi! I’m Bertie.” Dragon heard the little bat say, wings flapping. Dragon smiled and nodded.
Today’s Meditation: Gently sway like the graceful willow tree in today’s meditation.

Hoping to share Dragon magic with the people, Dragon takes some deep breaths and ponders how to meet people without frightening them.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story “Changing Winds” on Monday. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Today we’re sharing our very first Dragon story! Please enjoy “Dragon Magic!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 10:50
Narrator: Male
Dragon Magic Excerpt:
Still, the curious dragon wondered why people acted so strangely. A magnificent tail flipped back and forth, back and forth as the little dragon thought and thought. The dragon was bigger than the people. Remembering that the animals had also been afraid at first, the dragon wondered if size was the reason. Then the dragon thought about what had changed, so that the bunnies, deer, birds, frogs, toads, turtles, and bears felt comfortable. The dragon waited patiently and quietly.
Eventually, the animals approached. Once one came near, others felt safe. Oh, that’s right, the animals worried the dragon would eat them. Was that what the people were worried about? Yuck. What a silly thought. A person couldn’t possibly taste as good as roasted brussel sprouts, or roasted carrots, or roasted sweet potatoes; certainly not as good as an apple, orange or banana. Having figured out the source of the fear, the gentle dragon knew waiting patiently was a good idea. Fortunately, the wait was almost over.
Today’s Meditation: Today, you will focus on relaxing your body a little bit at a time. Starting with your feet, moving up to the top of your head, and ending with a focus on your entire body, you are sure to feel calm and relaxed.

After a little nap Dragon discovers a simple smile can brighten up anyone’s day. Before long all of Ahway Island is smiling.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:44
Narrator: Female
All Smiles Excerpt:
Dragon wondered whether smiling at others always worked that way and decided to try the theory out. Dragon landed on the forest floor. Carrie Cardinal rested in a nearby bush. The bright red bird looked over at Dragon just in time to see Dragon smile at her. Carrie grinned in response. Encouraged by the second smile Dragon began to walk further down the path to share a smile with another animal. Before long Dragon found Odin the owl. Though the owl was sleeping, at the sound of rustling leaves Odin opened his eyes. Dragon smiled at the drowsy owl. Odin returned the grin and drifted back to sleep. Now Dragon felt certain that the birds would respond with a smile. Next Dragon would see if other animals would respond the same way.
Today’s Meditation: Today, notice loving energy flowing through your body, from your feet up to your head.
