Parents, if you've ever experienced bedtime battles with the kids, I'm going to let you into a little secret. I'm Abby, a mother of two, and I had these battles myself. Endless excuses, delay tactics, and many tears and tantrums, but I've created a solution. The perfect kids podcast that makes bedtime a dream. It's called Koala Moon and it's hosted by me, Abby, with over 300 episodes packed with original stories and sleep meditations. Koala Moon makes bedtimes easy and enjoyable. Episodes start out engaging and really
rather magical, but as they progress, they gently slow to a calm and relaxing pace to have your little ones out like a light. Since launching in 2022, Koala Moon has helped with over 20 million night sleep and received over 6,000 five star reviews. Win back your evenings, listen to Koala Moon now wherever you get your podcasts. Take a nice deep breath in, and as you exhale, gently close your eyes.
Let's take two more just like that, breathing in slowly through the nose, and then a long slow exhale out of the mouth. Last one, deepest breath yet, inhale all the way down into your belly, and then exhale, just let it go, not forcing anything. And allow in your breath to return to its natural rhythm, whatever feels easy and effortless.
Allow your face to soften. And your shoulders to relax. Using stillness in the body to guide stillness in the mind. And just notice what's coming up here this morning. Maybe there are some thoughts already forming about things you need to do or remember. And that's perfectly normal. That's what minds are supposed to do. But for just these few moments, let go of all of that.
Envisioning your mind as something perfectly still, like a clear blue lake. And though the breeze or a falling leaf may disturb the surface, beneath the lake is perfectly still. That stillness is always there. It always has been, and it always will be.
You are the stillness, not the ripples on the surface. And now, take one final deep breath in. Hold the top, take another sip of air, and then exhale, release. Just let it all go, and slowly begin to gather yourself.
Remembering that, although there may be disturbances on the surface, there's always stillness beneath. And that stillness can always be found within you. Now, with your mind, just a bit more clear, go out and have a fantastic day.
