Aru was a little child with very big feelings. Some days Aru laughed loudly, and some days the feelings felt too heavy. One evening, when it was time to sleep, Aru shouted “No!” and threw toys on the floor.
Santasa came and sat beside Aru. Santasa did not scold or hurry. In a soft voice, Santasa asked, “Is your heart feeling heavy today?” Aru nodded and said their tummy felt funny and tight.
Santasa opened their arms and gave Aru a slow, warm hug. Not a tight hug, not a rushed one—just a calm, magic hug. Aru’s breathing slowed, and the angry feeling began to melt away.
“Big feelings need kindness,” Santasa whispered. “When we sit with them, they become gentle.” Santasa then showed Aru how to breathe in slowly and breathe out slowly, like blowing a bubble.
Inside Aru’s heart, a tiny star began to glow. “That star is always with you,” Santasa said. “You can find it whenever feelings feel too big.”
Aru climbed into bed feeling safe and calm. The toys were still on the floor, but the heart was peaceful. Santasa smiled and whispered, “First we connect. Then we correct.”
And with that, Aru fell asleep, wrapped in Santasa’s quiet magic. 🌙✨
