Ep 993. The Best Nectar: a calming bedtime story for children

Bobbi Butterfly and Marley Monarch find some tasty wildflowers on a beautiful morning on Ahway Island. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:48 The Best Nectar Excerpt: Bobbi fluttered up into the breeze, letting it carry her higher and higher. As she flitted back and forth, this way and that, the scent got stronger and stronger until she came upon a beautiful meadow of wildflowers stretching out before her. What a glorious sight it was! Tall yellow flowers waved in the wind as short purple flowers fluttered close to the ground. In the middle were bright pink flowers that reflected the sunshine. Bobbi landed on one of the pink flowers and tasted the nectar inside. It was absolutely delicious. Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
