Whispering Pines: a soothing relaxation and kid’s bedtime story
Britney is feeling extra wiggly after school, so her dad takes her on a walk in the forest where they meet a new friend.

Whispering Pines Excerpt:
A short while later, Britney and her father were walking down the path into the Ahway Island forest. Britney looked all around with wide eyes. The forest was so beautiful, and there was so much to notice.
Tall trees stretched high above her head, letting patches of sunlight through. Britney noticed a ring of white-spotted mushrooms near the path. They looked like something from a fairy tale. She also found a stick shaped like a crooked letter Y and picked it up to carry with her, twirling it as she walked.
Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine sunlight warming you as you lie in a grassy meadow.
