Ep 944. Bat Needs a Break: a relaxing story and mindful relaxation

Bailey Bat has a hurt wing, and it's really hard not to fly! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:54 Bat Needs a Break Excerpt: Up high in the sturdy oak tree, Bailey Bat rested inside her cozy bat house. The big wooden box was nestled in a thick cluster of branches, which provided a peaceful spot for Bailey and her friend Bertie Bat to sleep during the day. Bailey adjusted her position to get comfortable, paying close attention to how her wing felt. It had been a few days since her wing had gotten hurt during a nighttime flight. She had been zig-zagging through the trees with Bertie when all of a sudden, a big gust of wind knocked her into a low-hanging branch.
