Ep 932. Floatie Friend: a meditation and relaxing story for children
Daichiki Dolphin makes a surprising new friend in the Ahway Island cove!
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 3:40
Floatie Friend Excerpt:
Daichiki Dolphin drifted near the surface of the water, watching the light dance beneath him. The sunshine made beautiful patterns that twinkled on the sandy bottom. Feeling energetic, the little dolphin twirled in a circle and then did a flip, leaping out of the water. When he came back down with a splash, Daichiki looked around to see if anyone saw his neat trick.
Nope. No one seemed to be watching. Daichiki peered over to where his dolphin pod liked to rest. Sure enough, most of his friends were relaxing. Some were floating peacefully with their eyes half-closed, while others were slowly paddling in sleepy circles.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
