Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable. Take a deep
0:27
breath in through your nose and slowly let the breath
0:34
out through your mouth. Again, take another deep breath in
0:43
through your nose and slowly and gently let the breath
0:50
out once again. Deep breath in and slowly breathe out. Now,
1:09
imagine yourself standing on a beautiful beach, glorious white sand,
1:18
and you can hear the calming sounds of the ocean.
1:22
You can hear the waves as they gently come into
1:26
the shore. As you listen to the waves, breathe in
1:32
deeply and slowly breathe out, breathing in cool, refretching air.
1:45
And every time you hear the waves breaking on the shore,
1:50
you become more and more relaxed, more and more calm,
1:56
and more and more peaceful. And you look out over
2:03
the ocean and see the amazing blue water. It's so
2:09
calm and peaceful as the waves gently come up onto
2:13
the sand and then slowly slide back down again back
2:20
into the beautiful blue ocean. And the day is warm
2:27
and fresh, and the sun is shining high up in
2:32
the sky, with only a few fluffy white clouds drifting
2:36
on by. Now further up on the beach is a cave,
2:44
and you get interested, so you go and take a
2:47
look at it. The cave is warm, and the air
2:51
is moist, and it's actually very light inside it, so
2:56
you can see where you're going. You walk through to
3:02
the other end of the cave and you see that
3:05
it comes out into a lovely tropical forest, and you
3:10
can hear the sounds of the forest birds singing. You
3:14
can even feel a gentle breeze on your face and
3:17
it feels ever so nice. You can hear the sounds
3:23
of small animals scurrying through the undergrowth as they go
3:27
about their daily business. As you walk further in, you
3:33
see a large rock room in this enchanting and amazing forest,
3:39
and he has a very large tree standing next to it,
3:44
and some of its branches are hanging low over the water.
3:49
And then thinking noses, it's actually a banaca tree, and
3:53
you can see lots of bananas hanging down and they
3:57
look very tasty too, and you are a bit hungry now,
4:03
so he decided to pull a few bananas off the
4:06
tree for your lunch. When suddenly a small fish leaps
4:11
out of the water and pulls a banana off the
4:13
tree and it disappears back into the water. Wow, a
4:18
banana eating fish. You didn't think fish ate bananas, Well
4:23
apparently this one does. You pull off a couple for
4:28
yourself and sit down to enjoy the tasty bananas. And
4:35
as you sit there, the little fish again leaps out
4:38
of the water, grabs a banana, and goes back under
4:42
the wash again. Oh my, do you wonder what kind
4:47
of fish it is? Clearly it likes bananas. How strange.
4:55
As you sit eating your bananas, a little head hops
5:00
up out of the water and stares at you. It's
5:04
the little fish again. He smiles at you and sets alone.
5:10
A talking fish that eats bananas. What next, you think
5:15
to yourself. The little fish tells you his name is Pete,
5:22
and he tells you that he is a piranha. Oh no,
5:27
you think to yourself, a piranha. You're very sure that
5:31
they eat people. The little fish see he's your look
5:36
of alarm and tells you that he doesn't eat people.
5:38
Nobody he knows eats people. Besides, he says he don't
5:44
taste very nice. He only eats bananas. They are his
5:50
favorite food. Well, the only food they would eat, really,
5:57
he tells you that his family and friends or meat fish.
6:02
And they think he's very strange because he eats bananas,
6:07
so strange in fact, that they don't talk to him anymore,
6:11
and this makes him very sad. Indeed, Pete asks you
6:18
if you would like to come for a swim with him,
6:21
and you say yes, of course, as long as you
6:25
don't eat me, and you both give a little laugh.
6:30
So with a big leap, you jump into the rock
6:33
pool with an enormous splash. You swim around for a
6:37
little while, and then Pete asks you if you would
6:41
like to meet his friends who live deep within the ocean. Well,
6:46
you say yes, but you don't think you can hold
6:48
your breath that long. But Pete says not to worry.
6:53
He has a magic sweet you can eat and it
6:56
will let you breathe underwater. So you pop the sweet
7:01
in your mouth and dive deep under the water. Wow,
7:06
you can still breathe. It's just like breathing air, only
7:10
it's all watery up, and you can also talk too.
7:16
Pete takes you to the deep ocean floor and to
7:20
a little cave. Here is where his friends live, And
7:26
just then a big squiggly tentacle slowly slides out of
7:32
the cave, followed by a rather big octopus, who is
7:38
then followed by many, many smaller octopus. You try to
7:43
count them, but there are just too many of them.
7:47
Pete gives a little laugh and tells you that his friend,
7:51
Olivia the big octopus has two hundred children. Wow, that's
7:58
a lot of children. Olivia smiles, and she says she
8:04
would like to show you around the cave where they
8:06
all live. And then she suggests she takes you on
8:11
a tour of the ocean floor. How fantastic is that?
8:18
So just for a little while, go with Olivia and
8:22
Pete and all the little octopus and see where they live,
8:28
see how they live. Then you can have a wonderful
8:33
tour of the ocean floor. Go and see what else
8:38
lives at the bottom of the ocean. See how many
8:40
different creatures you can find, and have fun. Now you
11:01
all returned to the cave. How wonderful that was to
11:07
see all the other creatures that live in the ocean.
11:13
What kind of creatures did you see? Where did they live?
11:20
How many did you see? Pete the banana eating banana
11:30
tells Olivia the octopus about the banana's heats, and he
11:36
tells her how tasty they are, and he teaches them
11:42
how good bananas are for them, very good for the bones,
11:47
Pete says. So Olivia decides that the next time she
11:52
surfaces above the water, she will give these tasty bananas
11:57
a try. Pete is exstatic because he knows that they
12:02
will love them just as much as he does. But
12:08
now it's time for you to return home. So you
12:12
say goodbye to Olivia and her children, and Pete guides
12:17
you back to the rock pool. You climb out of
12:22
the water and turn and say goodbye to Pete, and
12:25
you really hope you can see him again soon. Pete
12:30
tells you that you can come and visit him and
12:33
his friends anytime you want, So you wave goodbye to
12:40
Pete and begin your journey back home. As you walk,
12:47
breathe in deeply, filling your lungs with the wonderful, fresh,
12:52
clean air, and your mind gently begins to drift into
12:59
a lovely comfortable silence, just letting all the thoughts pass
13:05
on by and watching any of those sorts just drift away.
13:14
Breathe deeply as you allow the sounds of the magnificent
13:18
ocean to wash over you and you hear the gentle
13:24
sounds of the waves. They're still there. Breathe in deeply
13:32
and slowly and gently breathe out, and you are very
13:39
sleepy now, so tired, so sleepy. You've had a long day.
13:49
And then you realize that you are back in your
13:52
very own bed now, and you wonder how that happened.
13:59
It's a kind of magic. You snuggle down and get
14:05
very comforty, and you feel yourself going deeper and deeper
14:13
into beautiful, blissful sleep, feeling so peaceful, so calm, so relaxed,
14:26
and you can still hear the waves. With each passing wave,
14:32
your body becomes lighter and lighter, and you have become
14:39
like the waves, one with the ocean. So just listen
14:47
to the sounds of the beautiful deep eocean and just rest,
14:54
just sleep. Now, imagine the beautiful special rainbow floating just
15:04
above your head, and you can see the purples and
15:07
the blues. You can see the greens and the yellows,
15:12
the oranges and the reds, and maybe you can even
15:16
see some gold and silver too. See how it shines
15:21
so brightly. See the beautiful colors, and it's like the
15:28
colors are alive. That's because they are can you see them?
15:40
Each time you breathe out, this beautiful rainbow grows larger
15:45
and larger, and it starts to gently wash over you,
15:51
help you to relax, and you can actually feel the
15:56
colors washing over your body. Can you feel it? Can
16:02
you feel how warm it is? How it makes your
16:05
skin tingle just a little bit everywhere the colors touched you.
16:12
You feel yourself relaxing deeper and deeper, and you feel
16:18
so peaceful, so calm, and so very relaxed. As you
16:27
breathe in this beautiful rainbow. Light makes you feel so
16:32
safe and protected, and you feel so loved. That's because
16:38
you are safe, You are loved, and you are protected.
16:45
Always in front of you is a flower bed filled
16:54
with daffodils, all different shades of yellow and all shimmering
17:00
in the sunlight. And you watch as they raise their
17:04
heads up to the sunlight, drawing all that they need,
17:11
all of it from the sun, the warmth to grow
17:15
and to stretch themselves, the light to raise themselves higher still,
17:21
and they are surrounded by the light, just as you are.
17:28
The yellow white rays of the sun lifts you up too,
17:33
and you can feel your spirits rising, you can feel
17:38
the inspiring rays of the sun shining down on your body,
17:43
and you can feel the joy beginning to enter your heart,
17:48
and you feel ever so happy. You see many other
17:54
different types of flowers, all swaying gently in the cool, calm,
18:01
all lifting their heads towards the sunlight, just like you,
18:08
and you realize you can hear running water, so you
18:14
stand up to see where it's coming from, and you
18:18
walk along the gravel pathway towards the sound, and as
18:24
you draw closer to it, you see before you a wonderful,
18:28
shallow stream, and the water is so clear and so inviting.
18:35
You could even see tiny colorful fish as they swim
18:39
on by. And there are rocks in the stream of yours,
18:46
and the sound you heard is the water flowing around
18:51
and over them. The sun is shining on the water,
18:56
and it looks like a thousand stars of bouncing all
19:00
over it, and it's so beautiful, and you decide to
19:07
sit down on the bank by the stream for just
19:09
a while, just to relax and just drift with your thoughts,
19:16
and you gaze into the water, feeling so peaceful, so calm,
19:22
so relaxed. It's lovely as you sit there each thought
19:33
that you have. Just let it go, place it into
19:38
the water and watch it as it washes away. And
19:43
you watch as the thought just gently sails off into
19:47
the distance, bouncing along the ripples of the water until
19:53
it's out of sight. It's quite funny to watch. Really.
19:58
When you have another thought, just do the same thing
20:01
again and watch it as it sails off into the distance.
20:08
And while you've been sitting here just thinking your little thoughts,
20:14
you suddenly notice sitting beside you is a little brown dug.
20:20
He has his eyes closed, and you notice his lovely
20:25
shiny brown feathers. You can even see some water drops
20:31
on his folded wings, and you wonder what he's doing.
20:38
He opens his little brown eyes and looks at you,
20:42
and he tells you that his name is Marvin, and
20:45
that he comes here every day at this same time
20:50
just to meditate by the stream. He says he likes
20:54
to think of all the things he is grateful for
20:56
in his life, and he likes to say thanks, thank
21:00
you out loud because it makes him feel really, really good.
21:07
He asks you what you would like to join him
21:09
and be grateful with him. Well, you say yes, but
21:15
you're not really sure what you have to do, so
21:19
Marvin explains. Marvin tells you that all you have to
21:25
do is think of all the things you are grateful for.
21:30
Things like your parents, your friends, your pets, the ice
21:35
cream that you ate last week, your lovely soft bed,
21:40
your new school bag to carry your books, anything at
21:44
all that you love and you are grateful for. You
21:47
get the idea. So you sit with Marvin and close
21:53
your eyes and in your mind spend a few moments
21:59
thinking of all the things you're grateful for, all of
22:03
the good things in your life, all of the things
22:08
that make you happy. So just sit there with Marvin
22:12
for just a moment. Marfa opened his eyes and he
24:00
you do too. Marvin says, now it's time to say
24:05
thank you for all the good things in your life.
24:10
So the two of you say as loud as you can,
24:13
thank you, thank you, thank you. Doesn't that feel good,
24:19
especially when you say it really loudly? How do you
24:23
feel right now? Can you feel the big smile on
24:28
your face? Can you feel your heart all filled up
24:32
with love and gratitude? Marvin smiles at you and tells
24:41
you that you did very well for your first time.
24:44
He's an expert sy. He does it all the time.
24:49
But it's now time for Marvin to go, so he
24:53
says his goodbyes and waddles off into the stream. You
24:57
ask him where he's going. He says he's going home now,
25:02
but first he wants to have a little swim, so
25:06
he says goodbye again and swims off into the distance,
25:11
quacking away happily as he goes. You think he's very mysterious,
25:16
this Marvin, very very nice, but very mysterious. You don't
25:21
know anything about him at all, but you do like him.
25:26
What a lovely little mystic ducky is. You won't ever
25:30
forget Marvin. Hell you he now. Put your feet into
25:38
the water and feel the cool, refreshing flow of it
25:42
running gently over them, and it feels so wonderful, so
25:46
refreshing and revitalizing. And you look around you. You feel
25:53
so free here, so relaxed, and it feels so wonderful
25:58
just to sit with your beat in the cool, calm water,
26:03
listening to the sounds of nature, just you, the water
26:10
and nature, and you feel so very grateful just to
26:15
be here. So sit for just a moment and just listen,
26:24
listen to the sounds of the crystal clear calming water
26:30
as it soothes your very soul. Listen to the sounds
26:35
of crystal clear calming water as it makes your soul
26:40
sink with happiness. Now you realize now you are back
26:56
in your very own bed, getting all warm and snuggling,
27:05
and it's time for you to sleep now, as your
27:08
eyes are becoming very heavy and your body is beginning
27:13
to go all soft with sleepiness. So you settle down
27:19
and pull the quilt or blanket up over your shoulders
27:23
and take a big deep breath in through your nose
27:30
and then slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth,
27:35
and you feel so happy you met Marvin today, so blessed,
27:42
so grateful, as you take another deep breath in and
27:49
slowly and gently breathe out one last time, deep breath
27:58
in and slowly and gently breathe out, And just as
28:08
the wave of sleepiness is coming all over your body,
28:15
you see once again Marvin's happy little face, lovely Marvin, Marvin,
28:22
the Mystic dug and you give a great, big soft
28:28
sigh as you smile and drift gently into the best
28:35
night's sleep ever. Now imagine that you're standing in a beautiful,
28:45
lush green field and it's raining very lightly. You look
28:51
down at your feet and you notice you don't have
28:54
any shoes on. You wriggle your toes in the soft,
28:58
cool and damp grass, and it feels so good. You
29:02
feel so good to connect to mother Earth yourself, and
29:06
your feet start to tingle just a little bit. You
29:12
can smell the beautiful aroma of the wet grass, and
29:15
it smells so pure, and tiny rain drops glisten on
29:21
the lush green leaves. You close your eyes and feel
29:29
the warm sun on your face. The rain has stopped
29:32
now and there is a gentle breeze blowing, and you
29:37
stretch your arms out either side of you feel a
29:40
breeze sweep over your entire body. You feel great, so
29:47
much better, more calm and peaceful. You look down and
29:53
you see a path, really see all the details of
29:57
the path, what it may from. Is it narrow or
30:03
is it wide? Is the path winding or is it straight?
30:09
You decide it's your path. You begin to walk and
30:17
see the path that's leading you into a beautiful and
30:20
majestic forest, and you can enter that forest. What can
30:25
you see? What can you hear? You look over towards
30:33
the trees and decide to take a look because it
30:36
kind of looks like a mini forest. And as you
30:41
get nearer, you see some very big, beautiful, weeping willow
30:45
trees and their branches are so long they're almost touching
30:49
the ground. The leaves glisten in the sunlight and they
30:55
shimmer and shine with a beautiful, silvery green color. You
31:00
walk amongst them, touching their leaves with your fingers and
31:04
they feel smooth and silky to the touch. And as
31:08
you look up, you can see the sun is shining
31:11
through the branches, almost making it look as if the
31:15
tree itself is moving and swaying in the cool breeze.
31:22
As you walk deeper into the forest, it feels very magical,
31:28
and you notice that all of your senses seem to
31:31
sharpen as you walk deeper and deeper into it. It
31:34
feels so lovely and peaceful. Here up ahead, you notice
31:41
that the forest starts to thin as it opens into
31:44
a clearing, And as you approach the clearing, you notice
31:49
it's lighter and brighter than the forest, and it has
31:53
a calm and peaceful energy. It's then that you see
31:58
a very large tree and you are magnetically drawn towards
32:02
the tree. As you get closer, you just now and
32:07
feel that this tree is a very ancient and very
32:11
wise old tree. It has very large roots all around it,
32:17
and they're growing deep, deep down into the earth, and
32:21
the trunk is wide and majestic looking. As you stand
32:27
there looking at this ancient and wise old tree, you
32:32
become aware of a chattering sound and you wonder what
32:34
it is. You look up, you see something move very quickly.
32:40
Then you see another movement, and another one, and you
32:43
wonder what on earth could it be. Then suddenly everything
32:48
goes quiet. You keep looking now, and it's then that
32:54
you see a little head pop out from between the leaves.
32:58
It's a squirrel, a beautiful red squirrel with little tofty ears.
33:05
He grins at you and says hello. He tells you
33:08
his name is Joseph. Then other little heads pop out too,
33:14
more little red squirrels, and they are all smiling at
33:18
you and looking at you with great, big, beautiful brown eyes.
33:23
You say hello to them, and you ask them what
33:25
they're doing here. Joseph tells you that this is their home,
33:31
it's where they live. They ask you if you would
33:34
like to join them and see exactly where they live. Well,
33:39
of course you would love to, but you're a lot
33:42
bigger than they are, and you wonder if you could
33:45
fit in the tree with them. You don't think you can.
33:50
Joseph says you can do magic and asks you if
33:53
you would like to be a squirrel for the day,
33:57
then that way you can definitely fit in the tree.
34:01
You think this is a wonderful idea, so Joseph pulls
34:05
out a little silk bag. He reaches inside with his
34:09
tiny paw and pulls out very sparkly magic dust. It
34:15
shimmers and it shines very brightly. He then throws it
34:19
down on top of your head, well a face. Nothing
34:23
seems to be happening, But then you find yourself getting
34:28
smaller and smaller. You find that you are shrinking, and
34:36
at the same time, you feel like you are growing
34:40
a tail, a very big fluffy tail. Your hands and
34:47
your feet have tained it to little paws, and your
34:50
whole body has fair growing on your skin. You even
34:55
have a little twitchy squirrel nose too, and toughty ears,
35:00
just like Joseph. Do you think this is fantastic? How
35:05
exciting you have become a squirrel? Joseph says, not to worry, though.
35:11
You won't stay like that. It's just for today. What
35:15
if you want to, you can have a sleepover with them,
35:18
and it can be for tomorrow too. You can have
35:22
your very own house in the tree, and you can
35:26
be a squirrel with them overnight as well, And you say,
35:31
oh yes please. You suddenly realize that you can do
35:37
exactly what the squirrels can do. So you scamp up
35:41
the trunk of the tree and you are moving very fast. Indeed,
35:46
then almost immediately you're standing right next to Joseph and
35:49
his friends. Joseph asks you if you would like to
35:53
explore their home now, well, obviously, you say yes. They
35:58
all turn and leap for forward onto another branch, and
36:01
it kind of looks like they are flying. You're not
36:06
really sure if you can do this, but Joseph shouts
36:10
to you, just believe you can do it, and you will.
36:15
So you leap forward and realize that you are doing
36:18
it too, and it does feel like flying. You all
36:22
jump from branch to branch at lightning speed, and it
36:25
feels wonderful. You believed you could do it, and you did.
36:35
Joseph leads the way to his home. He has a
36:39
lovely little white house tucked away amongst the branches and
36:42
the leaves. His friend's houses are dotted all over the tree,
36:47
some low, and they look really lovely. Little lights are
36:54
shining inside them, and they look ever supposing. On the outside,
37:00
there are hundreds of tiny fireflies, all shining the light
37:03
for you. There is a rainbow of color everywhere, and
37:10
each tiny firefly is a different one, each hamming its
37:16
own unique color, so many different variations of colors, and
37:21
you look at them in complete or it looks amazing.
37:28
Then Joseph leads you to another little house. He tells
37:32
you that this is your house. Oh wow, you have
37:36
your own, very very very own house. That's fantastic. Joseph
37:44
opens a door for you, and inside the warm light
37:48
from the little lamps or making your house like Eversirkosian friendly.
37:54
Joseph tells you that you can decorate your house anywhere
37:56
you would like, and they will help you. So go
38:02
ahead and design the inside of your house. Now, make
38:05
it look just how you would want it to be.
38:08
Anything that makes you feel happy when you think about it,
38:11
you can have inside your house. Think about all the
38:16
things that make you feel good, all the things that
38:19
make you smile. Maybe you would like your favorite toy here.
38:24
Maybe you would like great, big, soft and plump cushions everywhere,
38:29
or a sofa and chairs, or maybe you would just
38:33
like it as a bedroom. You decide, see it all
38:38
in your mind's eye. Can you see it? So, just
38:44
for a little while, create your house with the help
38:48
of Joseph and his friends. Look, Oh, what a beautiful
40:58
home you have created. This is a place to let
41:03
go of all your thoughts, all of your worries. This
41:08
is a place to let go of anything that may
41:11
make you feel sad. It's very safe here and you
41:17
will only ever feel happy whilst you are here. You
41:22
have created your very own stash of nuts to nibelong.
41:27
You didn't notice before, but there they are by the fireplace.
41:31
Oh goody. You're feeling a bit sleepy now though, and
41:38
would really like to go to bed, so you thank
41:42
Joseph and his friends for helping you create the most
41:44
perfect home. Joseph tells you that they too are feeling sleepy,
41:51
and he tells you they can all play again tomorrow.
41:56
So you all say good night to each other, close
42:00
your front door, and head off to your bedroom, the
42:04
one you created just for you now that you have
42:09
the most perfect bedroom. You climb up on the most
42:13
perfect bed and you lay your head on the soft
42:17
and fluffy pillows and give a big sigh of happiness.
42:23
You look over to a large window with beautiful curtains
42:26
hanging either side of it, and through this window you
42:30
can see the night sky and the beautiful stars shining
42:35
just like diamonds twinkling away. You stare at them for
42:41
a few minutes and think how lucky you are to
42:44
have met Joseph and his friends. They are so kind.
42:49
You really are looking forward to playing with them tomorrow.
42:54
But your eyes are feeling really heavy now, and your
42:58
body is feeling ever satire. So you take a deep
43:04
breath into your nose and gently blow it out from
43:10
your mouth. Take another deep breath and gently blow it
43:19
out from your mouth. You feel very sleepy now, so tired,
43:26
so it relaxed and peaceful, and you feel a gentle
43:32
wave of sleepiness starting at your feet. And it's a
43:37
warm and gentle feeling, kind of like how a feather
43:41
feels when you brush it against your skin, So soft
43:45
and gentle, but a little bit tickling, and you can
43:49
feel your toes going to sleep. It feels all warm
43:53
and tingling, ever so soft. You feel a soothing, gentle
44:00
wave of sleepiness coming up your calves and your shins,
44:06
and you feel going up your thighs. You think your
44:10
legs have already gone to sleep. You feel so tired,
44:16
so sleepy, so very happy. The beautiful wave of sleepiness
44:31
travels all the way up your body, down your arms,
44:34
and into your hands, making your body feel very very heavy,
44:41
very very tired, very very sleepy. And this gentle, warm
44:48
wave of sleepiness travels up your face and over the
44:53
top of your head and down the back of your neck.
44:59
So tired, now, so sleepy. You feel nice and warm
45:06
and snuggly under your soft quilt and very fluffy pillow.
45:13
So just have a little sleep now, night night. Now,
45:19
Imagine that you are in the most beautiful and amazing garden,
45:25
and you can feel the soft grasp beneath your feet.
45:29
You can hear the fluttering of birds. You can hear
45:31
the wings as they fly around you looking for insects
45:35
to eat. You can even hear them singing in the trees.
45:42
And your beautiful garden is surrounded by bright green bushes,
45:48
and they become brighter and sharper as you look around
45:52
and there are beautiful statues dotted all over the place,
45:57
and the plants that you see are so hybrant, and
46:00
the flowers smell wonderful, and it tickles your nose just
46:04
a little bit. Breathe in the fresh crisp air. It
46:10
feels so good to be here. Now. This garden is very,
46:18
very big, and you notice some movement further into the garden.
46:22
You wonder what it is. It's then you can see ladies
46:27
in long flowing dresses and men carrying swords on their hips,
46:31
and you wonder who they are. Can you see them?
46:36
They're all laughing and having fun. In fact, they all
46:39
seem to be having a purely good time. It's like
46:42
they're having their own garden party. You can hear medieval
46:47
music in the background, and it has a very friendly atmosphere,
46:52
and you feel so peaceful and calm. It's so relaxing here.
46:59
As you look around, you see horses too, and you
47:03
wonder how on earth they got here. You can even
47:05
smell the horses a bit wysa on them. As you
47:11
continue to walk forward, you notice a path before you,
47:15
and its stones are smooth and they glisten in the sunlight.
47:20
So you step onto this path and continue to walk forward,
47:24
and you wonder where does it go? Where will it
47:27
lead you? With each step you take, you can feel
47:33
yourself becoming more and more relaxed, and you feel so
47:37
peaceful following this gently winding path, and the music you
47:43
were hearing is slowly fading. As you walk further away
47:46
from it, you notice two butterflies floating past you. It's
47:53
like they were dancing on the gentle breeze just for you.
47:57
You watch them as they land and settle a beautiful,
48:00
bright yellow flower, and they just sit there with their
48:05
wings gently opening and closing, cooling off the thing. In
48:11
the distance. You hear the trickling sounds of water, so
48:15
you move towards the sound to see where it's coming from,
48:19
and you find yourself standing before a great stone fountain.
48:25
What does your fountain look like? Is it made of
48:28
stone or is it made of marble? Notice the details?
48:35
Are there any curves on your fountain or is it
48:38
all straight lines? You can see and hear the splashing
48:44
of the water as it runs down the fountain, and
48:47
you know that the water in this fountain is here
48:51
to refresh you, and it feels very special to be here,
48:56
feels like a very special place. You see a cup
49:02
on the edge of the fountain and you pick it up.
49:05
It's not really a cup, it's a chalice, but you
49:09
feel very thirsty now, so you eagerly dip your chalice
49:13
into the water you're bringing up to your lips and
49:17
you sip the water, drinking every last drop. You feel
49:22
overwhelmingly grateful for this water because it makes you feel
49:26
so alive and so refreshed, and you're so thankful for
49:30
this healing and rejuvenation. It makes you feel as if
49:35
everything has been healed in your body, and it makes
49:38
you feel that your mind is now very clear and
49:42
that nothing can ever bother you again. This fountain inspires
49:47
you to appreciate the gifts in your life. It makes
49:50
you so very grateful for all of the people that
49:53
love you and who are a part of your life,
49:56
your family, your friends, well for every you want. Really.
50:03
Suddenly you hear a rustling in the bushes nearby, and
50:07
you wonder what it is, so you walk over and
50:10
take a look. As you part the bushes, you see
50:15
a tiny, little white rabbit. He is very small and
50:19
has very long, droopy ears and the saddest brown eyes
50:23
you have ever seen. You slowly and gently reach out
50:28
your hand to him to show him that he has
50:31
nothing to be afraid of. He looks back at you
50:34
and gives your hand a little sniff, And as he
50:37
does this, something very special happens. You can hear his
50:43
thoughts in your mind. Well, rabbits can't talk, so it's
50:47
only natural that he can speak to you with his mind,
50:50
isn't it. And you hear him saying in your mind,
50:56
please help me. I am so thirsty, but because I
50:59
am so small, I cannot reach the fountain to have
51:02
a drink. Please will you help me? Well, of course
51:06
you will, you say. You take the chalice and fill
51:10
it with water, and then gently place it on the
51:12
ground in front of the tiny rabbit, and you watch
51:16
as he drinks and drinks and drinks. Wow, you think yourself,
51:19
he really is thirsty. When the little white rabbit has
51:25
finished all of the water in the cup, he says,
51:27
thank you, but he still looks so sad. So you
51:31
ask him why is he still so sad, And in
51:36
your mind you hear him reply that he doesn't know
51:40
what to do. When you are gone because he still
51:43
can't reach the fountain and he still won't be able
51:46
to drink the water. So you look around you to
51:50
find something you can build some steps with. If you
51:53
do that, then the little rabbit will never have to
51:56
worry again. So you find some very large stones, and
52:03
you gather them all up and begin to make steps
52:06
with the little white rabbit. The little white rabbit sits
52:10
and watches you. Eventually you make enough steps and ask
52:16
the little white rabbit to try and climb up them.
52:19
He's a little bit afraid at first, but with you
52:21
tuning them on, he bravely climbs up all of the steps.
52:26
He reaches the top, and he looks at you with
52:28
amazement and such happiness on his little face. He stands
52:34
on the rim of the fountain and begins to drink
52:37
the water. When he's finished, he looks at you with
52:42
the biggest grin, and his big brown eyes are shining
52:46
with happiness. He can't thank you enough. He tells you
52:50
now that he will never have to worry about how
52:53
he can get to the water. He tells you that
52:56
he's going to tell all of his friends so that
52:59
they too can The little white rabbit suddenly gives a
53:04
little laugh, and he says, because he was so thirsty,
53:08
he forgot to tell you his name. So he tells
53:11
you his name is Sebastian. So you tell him your name.
53:16
You even shake hands, well hand in a paw. So
53:20
for a few moments, spend some time talking to Sebastian
53:25
and get to know him a little bit. Maybe he
53:28
will introduce you to his friends. Look around you some more.
53:34
Maybe you and Sebastian can visit the ladies in the
53:37
long dresses and the gentleman who carries swords on their hips.
53:41
Maybe the two of you can join in the garden party.
53:46
So have a look, have fun, see when else is.
53:49
Speaker 2: Out there in the st as the speech.
56:35
Speaker 1: Now, it's time for you to leave the garden and
56:38
say goodbye to Sebastian. He thanks you once more for
56:43
all of your kindness to him. He tells you that
56:48
he hopes that you will soon come back to visit him,
56:52
and he says that next time he'll take you to
56:54
the underground village. Maybe you can even have a sleep
56:58
over there. You wave goodbye and begin to walk back
57:03
along the path. The trees above you are very strong,
57:08
the leaves are glistening in the sunlight. Without the water
57:13
from this fountain, it would not stand so tall and
57:16
so strong the flowers, maybe they would not smile as much,
57:22
the animals would grow thirsty. But they are happy because
57:28
of you. They are happy because you are so grateful
57:33
for everything in your life. It's like a ripple effect.
57:37
When you are happy, it shows. It can be seen
57:41
in your eyes and in your smile, and the world
57:45
can feel your happiness. So the world will smile too,
57:50
because the world will feel happy just like you. And
57:55
you feel ever so happy now, full of joy and peace,
58:00
and always remember that you can return to this garden
58:04
whenever you would like, and you can fill your cup
58:08
with gratitude, and of course to see Sebasty again. But
58:14
you feel very sleepy now, so tired and relaxed, and
58:21
you feel a gentle wave of sleepiness starting at your feet.
58:26
You can feel your toes going to sleep, and it
58:29
feels all warm and tingling and ever soft. You can
58:34
feel the soothing, gentle wave of sleepiness coming up your
58:39
calves and your shins. You can feel it going up
58:44
into your thighs, and you think your legs have already
58:47
gone to sleep. You feel very tired, now so sleepy,
58:54
so happy, And it feels hard to open your eyes
58:58
because they feel so heady. And this beautiful wave of
59:03
sleepiness travels all the way up your body, down your arms,
59:09
and into your hands, making your body feel very very heavy,
59:16
very very tired, and very very sleepy. And this gentle,
59:24
warm wave of sleepiness travels up your face, over the
59:30
top of your head, and down the back.
59:31
Speaker 2: Of your neck.
59:34
Speaker 1: Oh, you feel so tired, now so sleepy. You feel
59:41
nice and warm and slugly. So just have a little
59:47
sleep now, night night, sleep tight.
1:00:12
Speaker 2: In the
1:05:51
Speaker 1: The
