From Calming Anxiety | Guided Meditation, Sleep Hypnosis & Panic Attack Relief Martin Hewlett - Calming Anxiety

Welcome to Books at Bedtime from Calming Anxiety. If a restless mind or end-of-day stress is keeping you awake tonight, let the soothing, hypnotic cadence of classic literature help you drift into a deep, peaceful sleep. Tonight, we settle down for a gentle reading of Chapter 11 of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland: Who Stole the Tarts?We step quietly into the grand courtroom of Wonderland, where the King and Queen of Hearts are presiding over a most unusual trial. Listen as Alice observes the busy, scratching pencils of the twelve animal jurors, witness the nervous testimony of the Mad Hatter with his teacup in hand, and discover exactly what happens when a guinea pig is "suppressed" by the court. Read with a slow, calming voice to act as a comforting distraction for an overactive mind, this bedtime story podcast episode creates a safe, tranquil space for your evening routine. Dim the lights, take a long, slow breath, and let the whimsical confusion of the trial lull you into an uninterrupted night's rest.Episode Chapters

The Jurors’ Slates: The twelve little birds and animals write down their own names on their slates, fiercely anxious that they might forget them before the trial ends.
The Hatter’s Confusion: Shifting nervously from foot to foot, the Hatter accidentally bites a large piece out of his ceramic teacup instead of his bread and butter.
A Sudden Summons: Just as the courtroom settles down after the cook's pepper-induced exit, the White Rabbit unrolls his parchment and unexpectedly calls Alice to the stand.
