Welcome back to Max & Lumi — The Storylight Jar, the calm bedtime podcast that helps children and parents unwind together through gentle storytelling, mindfulness, and imagination.

🐇 In this week’s dreamy adventure, The Rabbit Hole of Wonder, Lumi opens the Storylight Jar to release a soft amber glow — the Listening Glow, first of the Three Glows. The Magic Word of the Week is Curiosity, meaning a kind and gentle desire to know or learn something.

✨ What This Episode Is About

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this soothing reimagining follows Alice as she drifts down a sleepy rabbit hole filled with floating clocks, invisible tea, and softly snoring teacups. Guided by the White Rabbit and the kindly Mad Hatter, she learns that real curiosity isn’t about rushing to find answers — it’s about listening until they quietly arrive.

💤 Why It Helps With Sleep

Each Max & Lumi episode blends slow pacing (100–90 wpm), soft lullaby soundscapes (60–65 BPM), and mindful breathing cues to help children relax. The Listening Glow encourages calm attention — helping young minds focus gently, slow racing thoughts, and drift into deep, natural sleep.
