One sunny afternoon, Lilly Emberglow wandered through the glowing forest, her bare feet brushing against the soft moss. Luna the Unicorn walked beside her, and Velora the Raven soared above, both of them keeping a gentle watch.
Lilly’s heart felt heavy. Not because something bad had happened that day—but because she had been carrying little bits of worry, sadness, and frustration from days before.
“Why does my chest feel so tight, Luna?” Lilly asked, placing her hand over her heart.
Luna lowered her silver head. “Sometimes, sweet one, we hold on to energy that doesn’t help us anymore. Like old leaves on a tree in autumn, it’s time to release them.”
Velora swooped down to land on a nearby branch. “And when you release that energy, new light and joy can grow in its place.”
Lilly closed her eyes. She imagined every bit of heavy energy inside her turning into tiny dark leaves. She took a deep breath in—fresh and sparkling—and as she exhaled, she pictured those leaves drifting away on the wind.
One by one, the leaves floated higher until the sunlight caught them, turning them into shimmering golden dust that danced away into the sky.
Her chest felt lighter. Her heart felt brighter. And her smile returned.
“Releasing is magical,” Lilly whispered. “It makes space for all the beautiful things I want to feel.”
Luna nodded. “And remember, my dear, you can do this anytime—when you’re sad, angry, or just feeling ‘off.’ The forest, the sky, and your own heart will help you.”
With a giggle, Lilly skipped forward, knowing that every step was now filled with light.
