Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: The heavy wooden bow. Once upon a time, inside a
- 0:07Speaker 1: large quiet stone castle, the long and busy day was
- 0:11Speaker 1: completely over. The brave Princess Mereda had spent the entire
- 0:16Speaker 1: morning and afternoon running, playing and practicing with her toys.
- 0:22Speaker 1: But now all the playing was done. Her little legs
- 0:25Speaker 1: felt incredibly heavy, her arms were very tired. Her entire
- 0:32Speaker 1: body was telling her that it was time to stop
- 0:34Speaker 1: and prepare for a long, deep reast. Mereda walked very
- 0:39Speaker 1: slowly into her quiet bedroom. She carried a large, heavy
- 0:44Speaker 1: wooden bow in her left hand. She did not want
- 0:48Speaker 1: to carry it any more. She walked over to a
- 0:52Speaker 1: thick wooden table and gently placed the heavy bow down
- 0:55Speaker 1: on the surface. As soon as she let go of
- 0:59Speaker 1: the wood, her arm felt wonderfully light. She let her
- 1:04Speaker 1: tired arms hang completely relaxed by her sides. She took
- 1:09Speaker 1: a long, slow breath of the quiet room air. Breathe in,
- 1:13Speaker 1: breathe out. Next, Meredith sat down heavily on a small
- 1:18Speaker 1: soft chair. She reached down with her tired hands and
- 1:23Speaker 1: slowly took off her thick leather boots. She took off
- 1:27Speaker 1: the left boot, she took off the right boot. Her
- 1:31Speaker 1: toes felt completely free and relaxed. She wiggled them slowly,
- 1:37Speaker 1: feeling a deep wave of relaxation travel from her feet
- 1:41Speaker 1: all the way up her tired legs. Meredith stood up
- 1:45Speaker 1: slowly and changed into her softest, warmest sleep clothes. The
- 1:50Speaker 1: fabric felt incredibly gentle against her skin. But before she
- 1:56Speaker 1: could go to sleep, she needed to relax her head.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Mereda had very thick, long and curly red hair. She
- 2:04Speaker 1: sat down in front of a quiet mirror and picked
- 2:07Speaker 1: up a large wooden hair brush. She moved the brush
- 2:11Speaker 1: with very slow, deliberate movements. She brushed the top of
- 2:16Speaker 1: her curls, pulling the wooden brush down very slowly. On time,
- 2:22Speaker 1: her shoulders relaxed. She brushed the side of her curls,
- 2:28Speaker 1: moving even slower two times. Her neck relaxed. She brushed
- 2:34Speaker 1: the back of her thick hair three times. The slow
- 2:39Speaker 1: rhythmic movement made her eyelids feel incredibly heavy. She closed
- 2:45Speaker 1: her eyes halfway, feeling totally safe and completely calm. Finally,
- 2:51Speaker 1: Mereda walked with slow, heavy steps toward her large, comfortable bed.
- 2:57Speaker 1: The bed had a thick, soft mattress in a heavy,
- 3:00Speaker 1: warm quilt. She climbed slowly under the covers. She let
- 3:06Speaker 1: her tired body sink deeply into the soft fabric. She
- 3:11Speaker 1: pulled the heavy blanket all the way up to her chin.
- 3:15Speaker 1: She stretched her tired legs out straight. She rested her
- 3:19Speaker 1: heavy arms flat by her sides. The quiet castle was
- 3:25Speaker 1: perfectly still. There was no more running, there was no
- 3:29Speaker 1: more playing. Merida was completely safe, wonderfully warm, and totally relaxed,
- 3:37Speaker 1: drifting away into a deep, beautiful and restorative sleep.
