  Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable and snuggle deep
• 0:28
  down in your bed. Take a deep breath in through
• 0:34
  your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.
• 0:46
  Take another deep breath in through your nose and slowly
• 0:53
  and gently breathe out through your mouth. One last time,
• 1:01
  deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe out through
• 1:09
  your mouth, and relax. As your breathing now slows down
• 1:18
  and comes back to its normal rhythm, each breath you
• 1:23
  take relaxes you even more deeply, and you feel so
• 1:28
  peaceful and so calm. Now, imagine yourself walking out in
• 1:37
  a large open field, and sitting there in the middle
• 1:42
  of this field is a very large and very magnificent,
• 1:47
  brightly colored balloon just for you. It's a hot air balloon,
• 1:54
  and it has a large wicker basket for you to
• 1:57
  stand in and to steer your balloon anywhere you want
• 2:00
  to go. This is your own personal flying machine, made
• 2:08
  especially for you. So you walk all around it and
• 2:15
  take a really good look at it. Notice the colors,
• 2:21
  how bright and vibrant they are, and they are your
• 2:25
  favorite colors too. Notice its shape, Notice how huge it
• 2:34
  is now that you are so close to it, It's massive.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Can you see any rising on it? Maybe it has
• 2:45
  your name on it? After all, it is your balloon.
• 2:51
  As you look at it, you can hear the sound
• 2:54
  of the hot air rising into the balloon itself. It's
• 2:58
  kind of like a hissing sound as it fills up
• 3:01
  and gets ready to fly. When you are at the controls,
• 3:07
  How does the balloon feel when you touch it run
• 3:13
  your hands along the basket. Does it feel rough or
• 3:18
  does it feel smooth? As you run your hands along
• 3:25
  the basket, you feel where the little door is, so
• 3:30
  you open it and climb inside. You lock the door
• 3:35
  again and look around the basket itself. It really is
• 3:39
  very large. It even has a little seat for you
• 3:43
  to sit on so that when you are flying you
• 3:46
  can see everything all around you. And it even has
• 3:51
  a little table with a picnic basket on it filled
• 3:55
  full of all your yummy favorites that you like to eat.
• 4:02
  You sit down and take hold of the controls, and
• 4:06
  very gently, your balloon begins to rise slowly upwards. It's
• 4:13
  like it's just floating upwards because there is very little sound,
• 4:19
  just a gentle hissing of the flames creating the hot air.
• 4:24
  This is how the balloon rises.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Hot air rises up, but cold air sinks. You are
• 4:35
  the pilot. Now you are in the pilot's seat, and
• 4:39
  you can go anywhere you want to go. And you
• 4:44
  are now cleared for take off by your safety crew
• 4:47
  on the ground. You didn't even see them, you were
• 4:51
  so excited by your balloon. Your balloon gently rises higher
• 4:58
  now and a little bit faster, higher and higher, until
• 5:03
  you are gliding right up into the air, flying higher
• 5:09
  and a little bit more, a little bit higher, but
• 5:14
  only as high as you choose to fly, and knowing
• 5:19
  that all the time your safety crew on the ground
• 5:23
  is keeping you safe. As your balloon floats slowly and
• 5:32
  gently through the air, you continue to pilot it and
• 5:37
  choose which way you wish to go. Take a look
• 5:41
  around you as you fly. It's a perfect sunny day
• 5:46
  with not a cloud in the sky. The sky is
• 5:50
  very clear and you can see for miles and miles
• 5:58
  you look below you fields of different colored greens. Some
• 6:03
  of them are yellow filled with corn. Maybe you can
• 6:07
  even see a purple colored field that will be a
• 6:11
  lavender field, I expect. There are many different types of
• 6:16
  fields in many different colors. Can you see them. Can
• 6:22
  you see the beautiful colors of nature? Just take a
• 6:30
  moment to feel the thrill of this flight, always remembering
• 6:36
  you are safe, you are loved, and you are protected
• 6:42
  at all times. Oh and don't forget to eat your
• 6:46
  lunch while you're flying. So now you are going to
• 6:54
  fly your balloon anywhere you want to go, just for
• 6:59
  the fun of it, if you choose to, and if
• 7:04
  you choose to fly yourself to a place that fills
• 7:08
  you with happiness and joy, there's no reason to go there.
• 7:13
  You're going there just because you can't and because you
• 7:17
  want to. It might be somewhere you've already been before,
• 7:24
  somewhere that you love to go, or it might be
• 7:27
  in an imaginary place. So begin to fly yourself there. Now,
• 7:34
  let your balloon be lifted not just by the heat,
• 7:39
  but with your very own joy. How magical this is
• 7:45
  for you to be flying your own balloon. And also,
• 7:51
  if you choose to, you can bring your balloon down
• 7:54
  lower so that you can really see this beautiful place
• 7:58
  you are going to. And if you find a safe
• 8:04
  place to land, you can do that too if you wish.
• 8:12
  Maybe you would also like to explore on your own
• 8:16
  Two feet too, So for a few moments, take the
• 8:21
  time to endure your flight. Take the time to be
• 8:28
  a really, really good pilot, But most of all, take
• 8:33
  the time to endure your balloon ride and to see
• 8:38
  everything that you canno. How wonderful was that? What did
• 11:30
  you see? Where did you go? Did you walk around
• 11:36
  on your own two feet or did you stay flying
• 11:40
  in your bloom up in the sky on your travels?
• 11:47
  Did you find any knowledge that you can bring back
• 11:50
  with you to help you in this life? Take one
• 12:00
  more minute just to notice how you feel right now?
• 12:08
  Is there pleasure and happiness that you feel right now?
• 12:14
  Can you feel it.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: In your body, your mind, in your spirit, just being
• 12:24
  here in this amazing place you've chosen, just for the
• 12:29
  enjoyment of it, just for the pleasure, And you feel
• 12:34
  so very.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Happy right now. But now it's time to start coming back.
• 12:46
  So you climb back into the pilot's seat and you
• 12:50
  use the controls again, and you begin to make your
• 12:54
  way back home, back to the green field where you began.
• 13:02
  Your balloon gently rises and you fly your way back
• 13:07
  through the sky, remembering again how safe you are, and
• 13:14
  you're flying back, flying back, flying back to the beautiful
• 13:22
  green field. Just take your time, there's no rush. You
• 13:37
  look for a safe place to land down below, bringing
• 13:43
  your magnificent balloon slowly, slowly, slowly back down, and your
• 13:52
  wonderful balloon touches the ground with a gentle bump, smoothly
• 13:58
  and easily, and you feel so relaxed, so peaceful and calm,
• 14:05
  but so very happy. And it's now that you realize
• 14:12
  you're back in your very own bed, and you feel
• 14:16
  very sleepy now, so tired. After all, you've had quite
• 14:23
  a busy day flying your very own hot air balloon,
• 14:29
  and you begin to feel a gentle wave of sleepiness
• 14:33
  starting at your feet. You can even feel your toes
• 14:39
  coming to sleep, and it feels all warm and tingly
• 14:43
  and ever so soft. You feel this soothing, gentle wave
• 14:51
  of sleepiness as it comes up your calves and your shins.
• 14:57
  You can feel it going up your thighs, and you
• 15:00
  think your legs have gone to sleep. Well, I already have.
• 15:04
  And you feel very tired now, so sleepy, but so
• 15:10
  very very happy, and it feels like you don't want
• 15:15
  to open your eyes, but that's okay, because you really
• 15:18
  don't want to open your eyes. And this beautiful wave
• 15:23
  of sleepiness travels all the way up your body, down
• 15:28
  your arms, and into your hands, making your body feel
• 15:34
  very very heavy, very very tired, very very sleepy. And
• 15:45
  this gentle, warm wave of sleepiness travels up your face
• 15:52
  and over the top of your head and down the
• 15:55
  back of your neck, and you feel so tired, so
• 16:02
  sleepy now, and you feel nice and warm and snugly
• 16:11
  under your beautiful soft quilt and fluffy squitchy pillow. So
• 16:18
  just have a little sleep now, and when you wake
• 16:22
  up in the morning, you will feel so wonderful and
• 16:27
  so refreshed.
