  Speaker 1: Find yourself a nice cozy place to sit and relax.
• 0:34
  Maybe you can lie down on your sofa. Then just
• 0:37
  close your eyes. I'll take a deep breath in through
• 0:43
  your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. Again,
• 0:56
  deep breath in, and slowly and gently breathe out through
• 1:04
  your mouth. One more time, deep breath in and slowly
• 1:15
  and gently breathe out through your mouth. And just relax
• 1:23
  and let you breathe and come back to its normal rhythm.
• 1:28
  And just imagine a beautiful white light surrounding your whole body,
• 1:35
  and lights that's so very bright, brighter and the biggest
• 1:41
  and the shiniest star. And this beautiful pure white light
• 1:48
  is protecting you, always gives you strength and calmness, and
• 1:55
  it makes you feel very happy inside. White light is
• 2:01
  also inside your chest, and it spreads throughout your whole
• 2:06
  body too, like a big ball of happiness moving inside
• 2:11
  you and all around you. But now I'm going to
• 2:17
  tell you a little story, a story about Sammy the
• 2:23
  Slippery Snake, and being still for just a little while,
• 2:29
  being still to recharge your batteries, being still just to breathe.
• 2:40
  So once upon a time, in a magical forest filled
• 2:45
  with tall trees and colorful flowers. There lived a slippery
• 2:51
  snake named Sammy. But Sammy was no ordinary snake. He
• 2:59
  wore a large hat adorned with a beautiful yellow daffodil,
• 3:03
  and it made him look rather charming. Indeed, and one
• 3:09
  sunny morning, as Sammy slithered through the forest, he encountered
• 3:15
  a majestic eagle soaring high in the sky. It was
• 3:21
  just floating on the gentle currents of the air, and
• 3:24
  the eagle's feathers glistened in the sunlight. They almost shimmered
• 3:29
  as if it was covered in a silver light, and
• 3:33
  Samy couldn't help but admire its grace and its strength.
• 3:37
  Then the eagle looked down and he saw Samy, and
• 3:41
  he swooped down and landed beside him, and he greeted
• 3:44
  Samy with a gentle hello, and they became fast friends.
• 3:52
  As they continued their journey together, they stumbled upon three
• 3:57
  white mice wearing the sunglasses and adorable bowt eyes. Sammy
• 4:04
  thought that they looked ever secute. The mice were having
• 4:09
  a little tea party under a shady tree, surrounded by
• 4:13
  lots of lovely cakes and jellies, and they asked Sammy
• 4:17
  and the eagle if they would like to join them. Well,
• 4:20
  of course they both said yes please, So Sammy and
• 4:25
  the Eagle joined in the fun. They ate cakes and jellies,
• 4:32
  and they even had some really lemony lemonade which made
• 4:37
  them suck in the cheeks because it was quite sour.
• 4:39
  Was ever some eyes. The little mice laughed. They thought
• 4:43
  it was very funny looking at the silly faces Sammy
• 4:46
  and the eagle maid and then they all burst out laughing,
• 4:49
  even Sammy and the Eagle because they thought it was
• 4:52
  funny too. They were really enjoying the delicious treats and
• 4:57
  the wonderful company of their new friends. The little mice
• 5:02
  were being ever so kind sharing the treats with Sammy
• 5:06
  and the Eagle. I was just so nice for all
• 5:11
  of them. Whilst they were all having such fun at
• 5:16
  the joyous tea party, the forest came alive with the
• 5:21
  sweet melodies of the birds singing high in the trees.
• 5:25
  The beautiful sounds filled the air, creating a peaceful and
• 5:30
  serene comsphere. It was so calming there in the forest.
• 5:36
  It was just wonderful for Sammy and the Eagle to
• 5:39
  just stop and rest for a while with the three
• 5:42
  little mice, all the time enjoying the sweet cakes and
• 5:46
  the jellies and making new kind friends. Sammy the Eagle
• 5:55
  and the mice closed their eyes, taking in the soothing
• 6:00
  sounds and feeling a deepest sense of calm, a deep
• 6:06
  sense of wonder and peace just by being still in
• 6:11
  the magical forest. So just for a few moments, be
• 6:17
  like Sammy the Eagle and the three white mice, just
• 6:22
  sit in peace and quiet. Just sit and think about
• 6:27
  what kindness means, and how you too can be kind
• 6:31
  to your family, to your friends, in fact, to everyone
• 6:36
  that you meet. In this magical forest, kindness bloomed like
• 8:49
  the flowers. Sammy the Eagle and the mice made a
• 8:55
  promise to always be kind to one another and to
• 8:58
  everyone that they met, no matter what. They understood, the
• 9:04
  kindness was like a warm hug that could make the
• 9:08
  world a better place. They understood that kindness could make
• 9:13
  someone feel very happy and not alone. And they understood
• 9:19
  that kindness could make someone feel loved and that they
• 9:23
  were not alone. Because you see, sometimes we were all
• 9:28
  in need of a little bit of kindness. So as
• 9:34
  the day came to an end, Sammy the eagle and
• 9:38
  the mice bid farewell to the new farm friends and
• 9:43
  continued their adventures in the forest. They left with their
• 9:49
  heart full of joy and a reminder that the word
• 9:53
  is a beautiful place when kindness is shared. So whenever
• 9:59
  you've feel a little restless or in need of calm,
• 10:05
  just close your eyes and imagine Sammy the slippery snake
• 10:11
  wearing his large orange hat with a yellow daffodil. Picture
• 10:16
  the eagle soaring high above the tree tops, and the
• 10:20
  three white mice with their sunglasses and bowt eyes. Imagine
• 10:25
  a tea party with lots of lovely cakes and jellies,
• 10:28
  and a forest filled with birds singing their sweet songs.
• 10:34
  Always remember to be kind, just like Sammy, the eagle
• 10:40
  and the mice, spread kindness wherever you go, and like magic,
• 10:48
  you'll bring smiles and happiness to the world around you.
• 10:53
  And that would be so lovely. But now it's time
• 10:58
  to return to your day. To take in a deep breath,
• 11:05
  fill your lungs, and slowly and gently breathe out, And
• 11:11
  it's time to bring back all the good feelings. Shall
• 11:15
  all the joy and the happiness you feel, all the
• 11:18
  kindness and the peace, and carry it with you for
• 11:23
  the rest of your day. To breathe in deeply and
• 11:29
  slowly and gently breathe out. Breathe in deeply and slowly
• 11:40
  and gently breathe out one last time. Breathe in deeply
• 11:49
  and slowly and gently breathe out. It's time to slowly
• 11:57
  stretch your body, feeling so happy and content in this
• 12:01
  perfect moment. In time to regul your fingers regular tongues
• 12:09
  whenever you are ready. Slowly open your eyes
