Welcome to The Weekly Dream,

A repository of guided meditative journeys that aim to uplift,

Inspire,

And relax you.

Our themes revolve around astrology,

Mythology,

The seasons,

And more.

I'm your host,

Brittany Bryan,

And I invite you to sit back,

Get comfortable,

Grab a blanket,

Some tea,

Or a cat or two.

Don't dream and drive.

Let's begin.

Hello and welcome to The Weekly Dream.

This is going to be a shorter episode,

A daydream if you will.

And to be completely honest,

I didn't really have any intention of starting a podcast until I started a podcast,

Which is also how I got a Moana tattoo on my left wrist,

Just observing some patterns here.

And so I've been flying by the seat of my pants week to week here at the start,

Wanting to generate content that's relevant to the seasons and such,

But it's been pretty rapid fire.

And my husband and I are in Argentina currently for the next 10 days or so attending a wedding.

So I was,

I am trying to get a little ahead.

I was trying to get a little ahead.

This was supposed to be recorded before we left on our trip,

But here we are.

And speaking of my husband,

Who is here with me now and will be co-hosting today.

Do you want to say hello,

Eric?

Hello,

Eric.

So today we're going to read a poem to you that has come to be meaningful to us.

It's been a rough couple of years with relocation and job changes and family medical emergencies.

And we have a book of poems that we try to read in the evening.

That's a nature poem for every night of the year.

And sometimes we forget for a couple of days and then read several poems to catch up.

But we always come back to this particular poem and reread it because it's just so beautiful and is a good one to have in your back pocket during hard times.

So this is called Hope by E.

Nesbitt.

And I am going to count you in as usual.

So go ahead and do what you need to do to get comfortable.

Stretch out or maybe lie down and change your sitting position.

And I'll ask that you close your eyes.

And actually,

Eric thinks I might count too slow,

So he's going to count for you.

So here you go,

Eric.

All right,

Everyone can breathe normal now.

Okay,

So we're going to take a deep breath in for 1,

2,

3,

4.

And hold 2,

3,

4.

And release 2,

3,

4.

All right,

And we're going to do one more.

So we'll take a deep breath in again for 1,

2,

3,

4.

Hold 2,

3,

4.

And release 2,

3,

4.

♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ When you're ready,

Begin to bring movement to your fingers and your toes,

Going very slowly.

You can open your eyes,

Maybe give your whole body a big stretch.

And then take a deep breath in for 1,

2,

3,

4.

Hold 2,

3,

4.

And exhale 2,

3,

4.

Thank you so much for joining us in this stream.

Until next time.
