  Our
• 0:35
  story
• 0:35
  begins
• 0:35
  with
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  goddess
• 0:36
  named
• 0:36
  Amaterasu.
• 0:38
  In
• 0:38
  Shinto
• 0:39
  tradition
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  Japan,
• 0:40
  Amaterasu
• 0:41
  is
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  sun
• 0:42
  Goddess.
• 0:43
  Her
• 0:44
  job
• 0:44
  is
• 0:44
  to
• 0:44
  make
• 0:45
  the
• 0:45
  sun
• 0:45
  shine
• 0:46
  and
• 0:46
  bring
• 0:46
  light
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  the
• 0:48
  world.
• 0:49
  Every
• 0:49
  morning
• 0:49
  when
• 0:50
  Amaterasu
• 0:51
  emerged,
• 0:52
  the
• 0:52
  sky
• 0:52
  glowed
• 0:53
  pink
• 0:53
  and
• 0:54
  gold.
• 0:55
  Amaterasu
• 0:56
  had
• 0:56
  a
• 0:56
  younger
• 0:57
  brother
• 0:57
  named
• 0:57
  Susanoo,
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  spirit
• 0:59
  of
• 0:59
  storms
• 1:00
  and
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  sea.
• 1:01
  Susano
• 1:02
  could
• 1:02
  be
• 1:02
  wild
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  mischievous.
• 1:05
  One
• 1:06
  day,
• 1:06
  Susano
• 1:07
  stomped
• 1:08
  through
• 1:08
  Amaterasu's
• 1:09
  rice
• 1:09
  fields
• 1:10
  and
• 1:10
  even
• 1:11
  made
• 1:11
  a
• 1:11
  huge
• 1:12
  mess
• 1:12
  in
• 1:13
  her
• 1:13
  heavenly
• 1:13
  weaving
• 1:14
  room.
• 1:15
  Imagine
• 1:16
  someone
• 1:16
  coming
• 1:17
  into
• 1:17
  your
• 1:17
  room
• 1:18
  and
• 1:18
  throwing
• 1:19
  your
• 1:19
  things
• 1:19
  everywhere.
• 1:21
  How
• 1:21
  would
• 1:21
  you
• 1:22
  feel?
• 1:23
  Amaterasu
• 1:24
  felt
• 1:25
  hurt
• 1:25
  and
• 1:26
  angry.
• 1:28
  She
• 1:28
  ran
• 1:29
  into
• 1:29
  a
• 1:29
  cave,
• 1:30
  a
• 1:30
  secret,
• 1:31
  dark
• 1:32
  cave
• 1:32
  called
• 1:32
  Ama
• 1:33
  no
• 1:33
  Iwato,
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  sealed
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  entrance
• 1:37
  shut
• 1:37
  behind
• 1:37
  her
• 1:38
  with
• 1:38
  a
• 1:38
  big
• 1:39
  boulder.
• 1:41
  Suddenly,
• 1:42
  the
• 1:43
  sun
• 1:43
  disappeared.
• 1:45
  Without
• 1:45
  Amaterasu,
• 1:47
  there
• 1:47
  was
• 1:48
  no
• 1:49
  light.
• 1:50
  The
• 1:50
  world
• 1:51
  went
• 1:51
  dark
• 1:51
  as
• 1:52
  night,
• 1:53
  even
• 1:53
  though
• 1:54
  it
• 1:54
  was
• 1:54
  daytime.
• 1:56
  Can
• 1:56
  you
• 1:57
  imagine
• 1:57
  how
• 1:57
  everyone
• 1:58
  felt
• 1:58
  when
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  sky
• 1:59
  stayed
• 2:00
  dark
• 2:00
  all
• 2:01
  day?
• 2:02
  It
• 2:02
  would
• 2:02
  be
• 2:03
  scary
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  sad,
• 2:04
  wouldn't
• 2:04
  it?
• 2:05
  The
• 2:05
  plants
• 2:05
  would
• 2:06
  droop
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  people
• 2:07
  everywhere
• 2:07
  would
• 2:08
  shiver
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  cold
• 2:09
  darkness.
• 2:11
  Everyone
• 2:11
  missed
• 2:12
  Amaterasu's
• 2:13
  warm
• 2:13
  light
• 2:13
  terribly.
• 2:15
  All
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  other
• 2:16
  kami,
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  Japanese
• 2:17
  word
• 2:17
  for
• 2:17
  spirits
• 2:18
  or
• 2:18
  gods,
• 2:19
  knew
• 2:19
  they
• 2:20
  had
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  do
• 2:20
  something.
• 2:22
  They
• 2:22
  loved
• 2:22
  Amaterasu
• 2:23
  and
• 2:24
  needed
• 2:24
  her
• 2:24
  to
• 2:25
  come
• 2:25
  out.
• 2:27
  How
• 2:27
  could
• 2:27
  they
• 2:28
  convince
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  sun
• 2:29
  goddess
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  leave
• 2:30
  her
• 2:31
  cave?
• 2:32
  The
• 2:33
  kami
• 2:33
  elm
• 2:34
  held
• 2:34
  a
• 2:34
  meeting
• 2:35
  by
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  clear
• 2:36
  river.
• 2:37
  They
• 2:37
  whispered
• 2:38
  and
• 2:39
  chattered,
• 2:40
  coming
• 2:40
  up
• 2:40
  with
• 2:40
  ideas.
• 2:42
  Finally,
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  wisest
• 2:44
  guy,
• 2:44
  God,
• 2:45
  had
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  clever
• 2:46
  plan.
• 2:48
  First,
• 2:48
  they
• 2:49
  gathered
• 2:49
  roosters.
• 2:51
  Lots
• 2:51
  of
• 2:52
  roosters.
• 2:53
  Why
• 2:54
  roosters?
• 2:55
  Roosters
• 2:56
  crow
• 2:56
  loudly
• 2:56
  at
• 2:57
  dawn
• 2:57
  every
• 2:57
  morning,
• 2:58
  almost
• 2:59
  like
• 2:59
  they're
• 2:59
  calling
• 3:00
  for
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  sun
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  rise.
• 3:02
  The
• 3:02
  gods
• 3:03
  thought
• 3:03
  if
• 3:03
  Amaterasu
• 3:04
  heard
• 3:04
  roosters
• 3:05
  crowing,
• 3:06
  she
• 3:06
  might
• 3:06
  think,
• 3:07
  is
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  morning.
• 3:08
  Here
• 3:09
  is
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  sun.
• 3:11
  That's
• 3:12
  supposed
• 3:12
  to
• 3:12
  be
• 3:12
  me
• 3:13
  out
• 3:14
  there.
• 3:16
  So
• 3:16
  they
• 3:17
  placed
• 3:17
  roosters
• 3:18
  near
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  cave
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  crow
• 3:19
  as
• 3:20
  if
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  new
• 3:21
  dawn
• 3:21
  was
• 3:21
  happening
• 3:22
  without
• 3:22
  her.
• 3:25
  Next,
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  gods
• 3:26
  took
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  beautiful
• 3:27
  mirror,
• 3:28
  shiny
• 3:29
  and
• 3:29
  polished,
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  hung
• 3:31
  it
• 3:31
  on
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  branch
• 3:31
  of
• 3:32
  a
• 3:32
  sacred
• 3:32
  tree
• 3:33
  outside
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  cave
• 3:34
  entrance.
• 3:36
  They
• 3:36
  also
• 3:36
  hung
• 3:37
  spider
• 3:37
  sparkling
• 3:38
  jewels
• 3:38
  around
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  tree.
• 3:40
  When
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  mirror
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  jewels
• 3:43
  swayed,
• 3:43
  they
• 3:44
  twinkled
• 3:44
  and
• 3:45
  shone.
• 3:46
  Imagine
• 3:46
  little
• 3:47
  beams
• 3:47
  of
• 3:47
  light
• 3:47
  dancing
• 3:48
  around
• 3:48
  the
• 3:49
  cave
• 3:49
  entrance.
• 3:50
  Then
• 3:50
  came
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  best
• 3:51
  part
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  plan.
• 3:53
  A
• 3:53
  dance
• 3:54
  and
• 3:54
  music
• 3:54
  party.
• 3:55
  One
• 3:56
  of
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  kami,
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  fun,
• 3:57
  loving
• 3:57
  Goddess
• 3:58
  named
• 3:58
  Ama
• 3:59
  no
• 3:59
  Uzume
• 4:01
  put
• 4:01
  on
• 4:01
  a
• 4:02
  performance.
• 4:03
  We'll
• 4:04
  call
• 4:04
  her
• 4:04
  Uzume
• 4:05
  for
• 4:05
  short.
• 4:06
  Uzume,
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  goddess
• 4:07
  of
• 4:08
  laughter
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  dawn.
• 4:09
  She
• 4:09
  overturned
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  wooden
• 4:11
  tub
• 4:11
  to
• 4:11
  make
• 4:12
  a
• 4:12
  small
• 4:12
  stage.
• 4:14
  Then
• 4:14
  she
• 4:14
  began
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  dance.
• 4:17
  Uzume's
• 4:17
  dance
• 4:18
  was
• 4:18
  joyful,
• 4:19
  silly,
• 4:19
  and
• 4:20
  full
• 4:20
  of
• 4:20
  energy.
• 4:21
  Can
• 4:22
  you
• 4:22
  dance
• 4:22
  with
• 4:22
  her?
• 4:23
  She
• 4:24
  stomped
• 4:24
  her
• 4:25
  feet
• 4:25
  on
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  wooden
• 4:26
  tub,
• 4:29
  making
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  ground
• 4:30
  shake
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  little.
• 4:31
  She
• 4:32
  twirled
• 4:32
  around,
• 4:33
  waved
• 4:33
  her
• 4:34
  arms
• 4:34
  and
• 4:34
  made
• 4:35
  funniest
• 4:35
  faces.
• 4:37
  The
• 4:37
  other
• 4:37
  gods
• 4:38
  gathered
• 4:38
  around
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  began
• 4:40
  laughing
• 4:40
  out
• 4:41
  loud.
• 4:42
  Zume
• 4:42
  kept
• 4:43
  dancing
• 4:43
  wildly.
• 4:44
  She
• 4:45
  even
• 4:45
  pretended
• 4:45
  to
• 4:46
  slip
• 4:46
  and
• 4:47
  sat
• 4:47
  down
• 4:47
  with
• 4:47
  a
• 4:48
  thump,
• 4:48
  making
• 4:49
  everyone
• 4:50
  laugh
• 4:50
  harder.
• 4:51
  Now
• 4:52
  imagine
• 4:52
  poor
• 4:52
  Amaterasu
• 4:54
  sitting
• 4:54
  inside
• 4:54
  her
• 4:55
  dark
• 4:55
  cave.
• 4:56
  She's
• 4:57
  upset
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  lonely.
• 4:59
  It's
• 5:00
  completely
• 5:01
  quiet.
• 5:02
  But
• 5:02
  then
• 5:03
  she
• 5:04
  hears
• 5:04
  something
• 5:05
  faint
• 5:05
  outside.
• 5:11
  Amaterasu's
• 5:12
  ears
• 5:13
  perk
• 5:13
  up.
• 5:14
  Is
• 5:15
  that
• 5:15
  music?
• 5:15
  And
• 5:16
  laughing,
• 5:17
  she
• 5:17
  thinks.
• 5:19
  How
• 5:19
  could
• 5:19
  anyone
• 5:20
  be
• 5:20
  laughing
• 5:20
  at
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  time
• 5:21
  like
• 5:21
  this,
• 5:22
  when
• 5:22
  the
• 5:23
  world
• 5:23
  is
• 5:23
  dark?
• 5:25
  Slowly,
• 5:25
  Amaterasu
• 5:27
  tiptoed
• 5:27
  closer
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  huge
• 5:28
  boulder
• 5:29
  at
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  cave's
• 5:30
  mouth.
• 5:31
  Outside,
• 5:31
  she
• 5:31
  heard
• 5:32
  a
• 5:32
  party.
• 5:33
  Are
• 5:33
  they
• 5:33
  having
• 5:33
  fun
• 5:34
  without
• 5:34
  me?
• 5:35
  She
• 5:36
  wondered.
• 5:37
  Then
• 5:37
  she
• 5:37
  heard
• 5:38
  roosters
• 5:38
  crowing
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  the
• 5:42
  gods
• 5:42
  calling
• 5:42
  out,
• 5:43
  wow.
• 5:44
  Look
• 5:44
  at
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  new
• 5:45
  goddess
• 5:45
  dancing.
• 5:46
  She's
• 5:47
  so
• 5:47
  bright
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  beautiful.
• 5:49
  They
• 5:50
  were
• 5:50
  joking,
• 5:50
  of
• 5:51
  course.
• 5:51
  Amaterasu
• 5:52
  felt
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  mix
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  curiosity
• 5:54
  and
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  little
• 5:55
  jealousy.
• 5:57
  A
• 5:57
  new
• 5:57
  goddess,
• 5:58
  brighter
• 5:59
  than
• 5:59
  her.
• 6:00
  How
• 6:00
  could
• 6:00
  that
• 6:01
  be?
• 6:02
  Finally,
• 6:03
  Amaterasu
• 6:04
  couldn't
• 6:04
  resist
• 6:05
  anymore.
• 6:05
  She
• 6:06
  decided
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  take
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  peek
• 6:07
  outside.
• 6:08
  She
• 6:09
  slid
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  boulder
• 6:10
  door
• 6:10
  a
• 6:10
  tiny
• 6:11
  crack
• 6:11
  and
• 6:12
  peered
• 6:12
  out
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  cave.
• 6:13
  Outside,
• 6:14
  it
• 6:14
  was
• 6:14
  still
• 6:15
  mostly
• 6:15
  dark,
• 6:16
  but
• 6:16
  she
• 6:16
  could
• 6:16
  hear
• 6:17
  drums
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  laughter
• 6:19
  clearly.
• 6:19
  Azume
• 6:20
  was
• 6:20
  right
• 6:20
  in
• 6:21
  front,
• 6:21
  dancing
• 6:22
  away.
• 6:23
  The
• 6:23
  other
• 6:23
  kami
• 6:24
  were
• 6:24
  clapping
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  rhythm.
• 6:26
  Amaterasu
• 6:27
  opened
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  cave
• 6:28
  door
• 6:28
  a
• 6:28
  bit
• 6:28
  wider,
• 6:30
  just
• 6:30
  enough
• 6:30
  for
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  sliver
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  her
• 6:32
  light
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  shine
• 6:32
  out.
• 6:34
  At
• 6:34
  that
• 6:34
  very
• 6:35
  moment,
• 6:35
  gods
• 6:36
  flashed
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  mirror
• 6:36
  towards
• 6:37
  Amaterasu.
• 6:38
  Amaterasu
• 6:40
  saw
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  shining,
• 6:41
  beautiful
• 6:42
  goddess
• 6:42
  looking
• 6:43
  back
• 6:43
  at
• 6:43
  her
• 6:43
  from
• 6:44
  that
• 6:44
  mirror.
• 6:45
  She
• 6:45
  gasped.
• 6:47
  She
• 6:47
  thought
• 6:47
  it
• 6:47
  was
• 6:47
  someone
• 6:48
  new,
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  radiant
• 6:49
  goddess
• 6:50
  coming
• 6:50
  out
• 6:50
  to
• 6:51
  join
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  dance.
• 6:52
  As
• 6:52
  she
• 6:53
  pushed
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  cave
• 6:54
  door
• 6:55
  open
• 6:55
  a
• 6:56
  bit
• 6:56
  more
• 6:57
  in
• 6:57
  surprise,
• 6:58
  the
• 6:59
  roosters
• 6:59
  crowed
• 7:00
  loudly,
• 7:01
  as
• 7:02
  if
• 7:02
  shouting,
• 7:03
  hooray.
• 7:04
  The
• 7:04
  sun
• 7:04
  is
• 7:04
  back.
• 7:06
  At
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  moment,
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  strong
• 7:08
  God
• 7:08
  nearby,
• 7:09
  who
• 7:09
  had
• 7:09
  been
• 7:10
  waiting
• 7:10
  for
• 7:10
  this,
• 7:11
  quickly
• 7:12
  hugged
• 7:12
  Amaterasu
• 7:13
  out
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  cave
• 7:14
  completely.
• 7:16
  Another
• 7:16
  God
• 7:17
  pulled
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  boulder
• 7:18
  back
• 7:18
  and
• 7:18
  hung
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  sacred
• 7:19
  rope
• 7:20
  across
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  entrance
• 7:21
  so
• 7:21
  she
• 7:21
  couldn't
• 7:21
  run
• 7:21
  and
• 7:22
  hide
• 7:22
  again.
• 7:23
  Amaterasu
• 7:24
  stepped
• 7:24
  outside.
• 7:25
  Her
• 7:26
  light
• 7:26
  burst
• 7:26
  across
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  world.
• 7:27
  The
• 7:27
  sun
• 7:28
  goddess
• 7:28
  gazed
• 7:29
  around
• 7:29
  in
• 7:29
  amazement
• 7:30
  as
• 7:30
  the
• 7:31
  darkness
• 7:31
  vanished.
• 7:33
  The
• 7:33
  rivers
• 7:33
  sparkled,
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  leaves
• 7:35
  glowed
• 7:35
  green,
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  all
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  gods
• 7:37
  and
• 7:38
  people
• 7:38
  cheered
• 7:39
  with
• 7:39
  joy.
• 7:40
  The
• 7:41
  birds
• 7:41
  started
• 7:41
  chirping
• 7:42
  Happily,
• 7:44
  even
• 7:44
  Amaterasu
• 7:45
  couldn't
• 7:45
  help
• 7:46
  but
• 7:46
  smile.
• 7:47
  She
• 7:47
  realized
• 7:48
  how
• 7:48
  much
• 7:48
  everyone
• 7:49
  appreciated
• 7:50
  her
• 7:50
  light
• 7:51
  and
• 7:51
  how
• 7:51
  clever
• 7:52
  and
• 7:52
  caring
• 7:52
  her
• 7:53
  fellow
• 7:53
  kami
• 7:53
  had
• 7:54
  been.
• 7:54
  To
• 7:54
  cheer
• 7:54
  her
• 7:54
  up,
• 7:55
  the
• 7:56
  gods
• 7:56
  thanked
• 7:57
  Amaterasu
• 7:58
  for
• 7:58
  coming
• 7:58
  back
• 7:58
  and
• 7:59
  thanked
• 7:59
  Uzume
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  her
• 8:01
  plan.
• 8:01
  From
• 8:01
  that
• 8:02
  day
• 8:02
  on,
• 8:02
  whenever
• 8:03
  Amaterasu
• 8:04
  felt
• 8:04
  sad
• 8:05
  or
• 8:05
  angry,
• 8:07
  she
• 8:07
  remembered
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  happiness
• 8:09
  when
• 8:09
  she
• 8:09
  left
• 8:09
  the
• 8:10
  cave.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  she
• 8:11
  kept
• 8:11
  shining
• 8:12
  for
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  world.
• 8:15
  To
• 8:15
  this
• 8:16
  day,
• 8:16
  people
• 8:17
  remember
• 8:17
  this
• 8:18
  story.
• 8:19
  In
• 8:20
  fact,
• 8:20
  the
• 8:21
  mirror
• 8:21
  and
• 8:22
  jewels
• 8:23
  used
• 8:23
  to
• 8:23
  lure
• 8:24
  out
• 8:24
  Amaterasu
• 8:25
  became
• 8:26
  sacred
• 8:27
  treasures
• 8:27
  of
• 8:28
  Japan,
• 8:29
  symbolizing
• 8:30
  how
• 8:30
  important
• 8:31
  truth
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  joy
• 8:32
  are
• 8:33
  in
• 8:33
  bringing
• 8:33
  light.
• 8:35
  And
• 8:36
  roosters
• 8:36
  still
• 8:36
  call
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  dawn,
• 8:37
  almost
• 8:38
  like
• 8:38
  they're
• 8:38
  calling
• 8:38
  out
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  sun,
• 8:39
  like
• 8:39
  in
• 8:40
  our
• 8:40
  story.
• 8:40
  I
• 8:41
  love
• 8:41
  how
• 8:41
  instead
• 8:41
  of
• 8:42
  using
• 8:42
  anger,
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  other
• 8:43
  gods
• 8:44
  used
• 8:44
  creativity,
• 8:45
  kindness
• 8:46
  and
• 8:47
  a
• 8:47
  bit
• 8:47
  of
• 8:47
  silliness
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  solve
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  problem.
• 8:50
  They
• 8:50
  showed
• 8:50
  Amaterasu
• 8:51
  she
• 8:51
  was
• 8:52
  loved
• 8:52
  and
• 8:53
  needed
• 8:54
  even
• 8:54
  when
• 8:55
  she
• 8:55
  felt
• 8:55
  upset.
• 8:56
  And
• 8:57
  it
• 8:57
  worked.
• 8:58
  Explorers
• 8:59
  if
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  had
• 9:00
  fun
• 9:00
  imagining

  the

• 9:01
  peeking
• 9:02
  out
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  Amaterasu's
• 9:03
  cave,
• 9:04
  I've
• 9:04
  got
• 9:04
  something
• 9:05
  extra
• 9:05
  for
• 9:06
  you.
• 9:06
  I
• 9:07
  made
• 9:07
  a

  Shining

  try

  of

  these

  experiments
• 9:27
  and

  notice
• 9:28
  how
• 9:28
  light
• 9:28
  changes
• 9:29
  the

  Now,

  how
• 9:34
  about
• 9:34
  we
• 9:34
  do
• 9:34
  something
• 9:34
  with

  our

  bodies
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  celebrate
• 9:36
  the

  sun's

• 9:37
  returning?
• 9:38
  We're
• 9:38
  going
• 9:38
  to
• 9:39
  learn
• 9:39
  a
• 9:39
  special

• 9:40
  salutation.
• 9:41
  A

  simple

  yoga
• 9:43
  flow.
• 9:44
  Sun
• 9:44
  salutation
• 9:45
  has
• 9:45
  been
• 9:46
  practiced
• 9:46
  for
• 9:47
  thousands
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  years
• 9:47
  to
• 9:48
  welcome
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  rising
• 9:49
  sun.
• 9:50
  It's
• 9:50
  a
• 9:50
  way
• 9:50
  to
• 9:51
  thank
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  sun
• 9:51
  for
• 9:52
  shining
• 9:52
  and
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  wake
• 9:53
  up
• 9:53
  our
• 9:53
  bodies
• 9:54
  with
• 9:54
  light
• 9:54
  and
• 9:54
  energy.
• 9:56
  Let's
• 9:57
  stand
• 9:57
  up.
• 9:58
  Make
• 9:58
  sure
• 9:59
  you
• 9:59
  have
• 9:59
  a
• 9:59
  space
• 9:59
  around
• 10:00
  you.
• 10:01
  Feet
• 10:01
  on
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  ground,
• 10:02
  a
• 10:02
  little
• 10:02
  bit
• 10:02
  apart,
• 10:04
  arms
• 10:04
  relaxed
• 10:05
  at
• 10:05
  your
• 10:06
  sides.
• 10:07
  We'll
• 10:07
  do
• 10:08
  a
• 10:08
  simple
• 10:09
  sun
• 10:09
  salutation
• 10:10
  together,
• 10:11
  step
• 10:11
  by
• 10:11
  step.
• 10:13
  Remember,
• 10:14
  move
• 10:14
  in
• 10:14
  a
• 10:14
  way
• 10:15
  that
• 10:15
  feels
• 10:15
  good
• 10:15
  for
• 10:16
  your
• 10:16
  body.
• 10:17
  It's
• 10:18
  okay
• 10:18
  if
• 10:18
  you
• 10:19
  do
• 10:19
  a
• 10:19
  smaller
• 10:20
  stretch
• 10:20
  or
• 10:21
  pause
• 10:21
  when
• 10:21
  you
• 10:21
  need
• 10:21
  to
• 10:23
  take
• 10:23
  a
• 10:23
  nice
• 10:24
  slow
• 10:24
  breath
• 10:25
  in
• 10:26
  and
• 10:26
  out.
• 10:28
  Our
• 10:28
  first
• 10:28
  pose
• 10:28
  is
• 10:28
  mountain
• 10:29
  pose.
• 10:30
  We're
• 10:30
  going
• 10:30
  to
• 10:31
  stand
• 10:31
  tall
• 10:31
  and
• 10:32
  strong
• 10:32
  like
• 10:32
  a
• 10:32
  mountain.
• 10:33
  Feel
• 10:34
  your
• 10:34
  feet
• 10:34
  press
• 10:35
  into
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  ground.
• 10:37
  Inhale
• 10:38
  and
• 10:39
  slowly
• 10:40
  reach
• 10:40
  your
• 10:40
  arms
• 10:41
  up
• 10:41
  toward
• 10:41
  the

  sky.
• 10:43
  Imagine
• 10:43
  pushing
• 10:44
  open
• 10:44
  the

  heavy
• 10:45
  stone
• 10:45
  door
• 10:46
  of

  the

  cave,
• 10:47
  letting
• 10:47
  the

  first
• 10:48
  ray
• 10:48
  of
• 10:48
  sunlight
• 10:49
  come
• 10:49
  out.

• 10:57
  It's

  okay
• 10:58
  if

  you

  Hold

  Inhale.

  Imagine

  You're

• 11:28
  Your

  Maybe

  you

  give

  your

• 11:57
  You

  are

  Now

  Inhale

  Imagine

  just

  Inhale

  If

• 12:42
  spread

  like

  spreading

  Exhale.

  Bring

• 12:52
  Lower

  if

• 12:55
  You

  did

  it.
• 12:56
  That

  was

  a

  salutation.
• 12:58
  Do

  each

  time.
• 13:02
  Imagine

  you're

  bringing

  more
• 13:04
  light
• 13:04

  any

  or

  worries.
• 13:09
  How
• 13:09
  do
• 13:09
  you
• 13:10
  feel?
• 13:11
  By
• 13:11
  linking
• 13:12
  our

  breath
• 13:12
  to

  our

  bodies.
• 13:18
  Let's
• 13:19
  put

  some

  treasures
• 13:20
  in

  our

• 13:21
  These

  are

  lessons
• 13:22
  we

  can
• 13:23
  carry
• 13:23
  with

  us.
• 13:27
  We
• 13:27
  learned
• 13:28
  how
• 13:28
  even
• 13:28
  the
• 13:29
  brightest
• 13:29
  among

  can
• 13:30
  feel
• 13:30
  sad
• 13:31
  or
• 13:32
  angry
• 13:32
  and
• 13:32
  want
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  hide.
• 13:33
  Sometimes
• 13:35
  when
• 13:35
  someone
• 13:35
  we
• 13:35
  love
• 13:36
  feels
• 13:36
  down,

  gentle

  encouragement
• 13:39
  can
• 13:39
  help
• 13:39
  bring

• 13:40
  their

• 13:42
  The

  are
• 13:45
  like
• 13:45
  symbols
• 13:46
  of
• 13:46
  hope.
• 13:47
  We

  can

  keep

  them

  return
• 13:53
  even
• 13:53
  after
• 13:54
  dark
• 13:54
  times.
• 13:57
  We
• 13:57
  also
• 13:58
  learned
• 13:58
  a
• 13:58
  sun
• 13:58
  salutation,
• 13:59
  a
• 13:59
  way
• 14:00
  to
• 14:00
  connect
• 14:00
  body
• 14:01
  and
• 14:01
  breath.
• 14:02
  This
• 14:02
  is
• 14:03
  a
• 14:03
  tool
• 14:03
  we
• 14:04
  can
• 14:04
  use

  to
• 14:04
  find
• 14:04
  calm
• 14:05
  and
• 14:05
  strength
• 14:07
  or
• 14:07
  do
• 14:07
  it
• 14:07
  anytime
• 14:08
  we
• 14:08
  need
• 14:08
  a

  bit

  of

• 14:10
  Our

• 14:11
  is

  heavier.
• 14:12
  These
• 14:12
  are
• 14:12
  treasures
• 14:13
  we
• 14:13
  can
• 14:13
  carry

  as

  we

  Shh.

  It's

  the

  world
• 14:37
  think
• 14:37
  happens
• 14:38
  after
• 14:38
  we

  die.
• 14:39
  It's
• 14:40
  going
