  Speaker 1: Welcome to Get Sleepy, the podcast where we listen, we relax,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and we get sleepy. I'm Thomas, your host. Thank you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: for tuning in. In tonight's story, two friends in an
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: English village take part in a special autumn tradition. On
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the 5th of November every year, People across the country
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: celebrate Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night. It's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a community event with a cosy, festive atmosphere as everyone
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: comes together to watch the lighting of the bonfire and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: enjoy a spectacular firework display. And it's always been one
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of my personal favourite nights of the year, especially when
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I was younger, It feels to me like a true
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: introduction to colder weather, cozy evenings, and the festive feel
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of the weeks ahead. If you're not familiar with this
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: British tradition, I hope our story will be a pleasant
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: introduction to it tonight. Make yourself nice and comfortable in bed,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: feeling the coziness and warmth of the pillow, the covers,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and the mattress below. Take a deep inhale, feeling your
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: belly rise as you take in the air. And then exhale,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: noticing how your belly lowers as the air leaves your body.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Allow that slower pace of breath to continue. And as
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you do, place your attention on your toes. And imagine
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that there is a light switch for your toes. Right now,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's on, as it has been all day. You're ready
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: for bed now though. So, just turn that light switch off,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: noticing how that causes your toes to relax. Next, move
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: your attention to your feet, and turn the switch for
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: your feet off as well. Turn off the switch for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: your lower legs, then your thighs and your hips, allowing
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: everything below your waist to switch off and relax. Focus
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: now on your abdomen and turn off the light switch there.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Then your chest, your back, your shoulders, your arms, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: your hands and fingers. Imagine the light switch on your
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: neck and turn it off. Then finally, your head. With
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: every part of your body switched off, you can truly
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: sink into your bed. And now, let your mind drift
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to the image of a single flame. A flickering blend
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of orange, red, yellow and blue. Slowly, the flame expands
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: into a log fire in a fireplace. This is where
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: our story begins. With a man sleeping peacefully in an armchair.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Beside a crackling fire.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Amen.
