Introduction

A bedtime tale is a classic type of storytelling in which a narrative is given to a kid before they go to bed to help them relax. Parents, adults, and children equally benefit from bedtime tales. The regular pattern of a bedtime tale before sleeping has a calming effect, and the soothing voice of a storyteller makes it easier for the kid to go asleep. The emotional component establishes a relationship between the storyteller and the listener, which is frequently a parent and a kid. Bedtime stories can either be read from a book or created by the storyteller. The stories are usually brief and have a pleasant conclusion. Longer stories are used in a different type of nighttime reading, but they are divided up into cliffhangers. Children will anticipate their bedtime tale, and a consistent pattern will be established. HISTORY There is no genuine beginning of bedtime stories because storytelling has been a component of human society from the dawn of time. The concept of a modern-day bedtime tale, on the other hand, arose from traditional storytelling. Before the Industrial Revolution, families and friends used to labor hard during the day, both the parents and the children. When the sun went down, everyone gathered around the campfire to chat and share stories. Both the parents and the children would sleep together at night after the story. Both children and parents would enjoy the stories, which contained drama, trauma, and adventure. With the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and the growth of the middle class, parents and children began to go to bed at different times and in different rooms. Bedtime routines were established. The transition from oral storytelling to reading a book was another significant signal. Following the Industrial Revolution, book publishers competed fiercely to sell the greatest stories to as many people as possible. Stories like Peter Pan were rich, full of life and color. Following WWI, publishers began focusing on the 3-6 year old age range. The plot started to become quite straightforward. The majority of published bedtime tales nowadays are between 1 and 5 minutes long and have a relatively limited vocabulary. In the past, children were exposed to gloomy and bleak stories told by adults. The Brothers Grimm's stories are among the most well-known. However, as civilization progressed, the stories became happier and lighter. At the end of most bedtime stories, there is generally a moral. Because the morals in older bedtime stories were often explicit and powerful, the morals were often graphic and intense as well. The Sandman, for example, would put sand in children's eyes if they were awake at night. Bedtime stories would also instill in youngsters specific values that they may use as adults.

Chapter 1 What Is Meditation and How Does It Work?

Within the yoga tradition, there is an amazing approach for revealing the interconnection of all living things. Advaita is the name given to this basic oneness. The real sensation of this connection is meditation.

Patanjali instructs on how to meditate and defines what constitutes a meditation practice in the Yoga Sutra. According to the second sutra in the first chapter, yoga (or unification) occurs when the mind becomes calm. This mental quiet is achieved by bringing the body, mind, and senses into harmony, allowing the nervous system to rest. Meditation, according to Patanjali, begins when we realize that our never-ending need to acquire things and our constant hunger for pleasure and security will never be fulfilled. When we recognize this, our outward pursuit becomes an inward one, and we enter the world of meditation.

The word meditation is defined as the act of reflecting about, pondering, or contemplating. It can also refer to a devotional contemplative practice or a religious or philosophical contemplative discourse. The word meditate is derived from the Latin meditari, which means to contemplate or reflect about. The origin of this term is med, which means to take proper precautions. Meditation may be understood in a variety of ways in our society. For example, you may contemplate or meditate on a course of action involving your child's schooling or a professional shift that might require a cross-country move. You could be compelled to concentrate on—or ponder—the moral concerns facing today's society after seeing a great film or play.

Meditation, or dhyana, is more explicitly described in the yogic setting as a state of pure awareness. It follows dharana, the technique of concentration, as the seventh step, or limb, of the yogic path. Dhyana is followed by samadhi, the last stage of freedom or enlightenment in Patanjali's eight-limbed system. Thus, dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (ecstasy) are intimately connected and together referred to as samyama, the yogic path's inner practice or subtle discipline.

Remember that the first four limbs are considered exterior disciplines: yama (ethics), niyama (self-discipline), asana (posture), and Pranayama (life-force expansion). Pratyahara, the fifth stage, is the retreat of the senses. The practice of the first four stages leads to this sensory retreat, which connects the exterior and internal worlds. We are acutely aware of our senses yet remaining disengaged when we are physically and psychologically anchored. It is impossible to meditate without the capacity to stay detached but aware. Meditation is more than focus, even though you must be able to concentrate in order to meditate. It eventually leads to a condition of enlarged consciousness.

We turn our minds onto what appears to be an object other than ourselves when we concentrate. We become familiar with and make touch with this thing. However, to
