854. Musical Glass: a calming meditation and children’s tale

Ella wants to show her step-siblings Tracy and Tom a fun science experiment! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:27 Musical Glass Excerpt: The warm Saturday morning sun peeked through the kitchen window of the Salcedo-Davis house. Ella stood at the kitchen counter, waiting for her step siblings to join her. “Come on, come on, come on!” she called. “I want to show you the experiment!” Tom poked his head around the corner.  His hair was still a bit messy from sleep. “What are you talking about, Ella?” he asked, rubbing his eyes. “Yeah, what’s going on?” Tracy asked curiously, appearing behind her brother. Ella giggled. “I want to show you science experiment I learned from Mrs. Lee!” Today’s Meditation: Enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.
