Ep 968. The Spinning Shiny: a relaxing kids’ meditation and bedtime story

Sandy Seagull finds a shiny pinwheel stuck in the sand! Will she take it for herself? Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:44 The Spinning Shiny Excerpt: Sandy Seagull woke up to a peaceful morning on the golden shores of Ahway Island. She blinked her bright eyes and stretched her soft wings. All the other seagulls on the cliff were still sleeping. Sandy smiled and took a moment to enjoy the quiet of the early day. Floating over the horizon, the sun spread a glowing ribbon of light across the calm ocean. It looked beautiful next to the pink clouds in the sky. A light breeze carried the salty scent of the sea. The beach below seemed full of possibilities. Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with love as you imagine a puffin family and think about your own unique family.
