  Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable. Take a slow,
• 0:30
  deep breath in through your nose, and then slowly and
• 0:35
  gently breathe out through your mouth, letting go of all
• 0:41
  your worries. To feel yourself sinking into your nice, comfy
• 0:47
  bed and just becoming still feeling peaceful and relaxed. Take
• 0:58
  another slow, deep breath in through your nose and then
• 1:03
  slowly breathe out through your mouth and just release all
• 1:09
  of your thoughts, letting them just drift far away, or
• 1:15
  just blow them out like blowing bubbles in the water.
• 1:22
  Take another slow, deep breath and then slowly breathe out
• 1:28
  through your mouth, and know that in this very moment,
• 1:34
  all is well in your world. Now breathe in again.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And breathe out.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Feel in peace and relaxation wash over your entire body,
• 1:52
  and feel it flow down from your nose and your throat,
• 1:57
  Feel it flow down your chest and all the way
• 2:01
  into your belly. Breathing in fully into your belly, making
• 2:08
  your belly nice and big and round, and just slowly
• 2:13
  breathe out and relax. Now, imagine that you are on
• 2:23
  your own private and magical island, and you look around
• 2:28
  you and you see that you're walking through a beautiful,
• 2:31
  lush green forest and the sun is shining and making
• 2:36
  you feel pleasantly warm. There's a gentle breeze on your
• 2:41
  face and you find yourself smiling with happiness. You can
• 2:47
  hear the birds singing swiftly in the trees above you,
• 2:50
  and it's like they're talking to each other. Well, they
• 2:53
  probably are, really. You realize that you are on a
• 2:59
  path and you wonder where it goes, so you decide
• 3:03
  to follow it and see. And as you walk, you
• 3:07
  can hear tiny rustling sounds and the undergrowth around you,
• 3:11
  and you realize that it's little animals scurrying about their business.
• 3:15
  You don't see them, but you do hear them, so
• 3:19
  you continue walking down your path. When you hear the
• 3:23
  sound of gentle waves getting closer. You see a clearing
• 3:28
  in the trees, and you notice that the path you
• 3:30
  are on has become sandy and the sound of the
• 3:34
  waves is a lot louder now, but it does sound
• 3:38
  really nice though. You reach the clearing and step out
• 3:44
  onto a beautiful golden beach and you can see the
• 3:49
  deep blue ocean now and it sparkles with the sun
• 3:52
  shining down on it, and it looks like thousands of
• 3:55
  tiny stars dancing on the gentle waves. It's so lovely.
• 4:03
  So you take off your shoes and walk on the
• 4:06
  lovely soft sand and it feels so warm under your feet.
• 4:11
  You can smell the salty air from the ocean, and
• 4:13
  it makes you feel so peaceful and so calm. It
• 4:18
  really is beautiful on your magical island. As you look
• 4:23
  around you, you see up ahead of you a cluster
• 4:26
  of rocks, and some of them are very large, indeed,
• 4:31
  so you decide to have a little explore. You reach
• 4:36
  the rocks and they are even bigger. Nail that you're
• 4:39
  close to them when you notice that there is an
• 4:43
  opening amongst the rocks, quite a large one too, and
• 4:47
  you realize that it's a cave. How exciting it's a cave,
• 4:54
  and you wonder what's inside, So you decide to take
• 4:58
  a look and see. You step through the entrance and
• 5:02
  it's dark at first, but then it begins to become
• 5:04
  lighter the deeper inside the cave you go. You can
• 5:08
  hear the sound of water too. It sounds like big
• 5:11
  fat raindrops plucking, and others sounding like musical notes dropping
• 5:16
  down from somewhere deep inside the cave, and you can
• 5:21
  hear it echoing deeper into the cave as it drops.
• 5:26
  You can't see it happening, but you can hear it.
• 5:32
  As you walk further into the cave, you see large
• 5:35
  candles shining brightly in a big circle. And inside the
• 5:40
  circle you see a little girl and she's wearing a
• 5:43
  long white dress, and she's sitting in the middle of
• 5:47
  all the candles with her legs closed. She is smiling happily,
• 5:54
  and you wonder who is she smiling at. As you
• 5:58
  get closer to her, you see lost some lovely daisies
• 6:01
  and buttercups, and there floating gently above her head. It's
• 6:05
  like the dancing for her. She sees you and gives
• 6:10
  you a big grin, and she asks you if you
• 6:13
  would like to sit in the circle with her. Well, obviously,
• 6:17
  you say yes. She tells you that her name is Melody.
• 6:24
  You tell her your name, and she says she is
• 6:28
  very glad to meet you today. You look at the
• 6:32
  dancing flowers and you wonder how this is happening. How
• 6:38
  could she be doing this? Is she doing this? So
• 6:41
  you ask Melody. She tells you that she is moving
• 6:45
  them with her mind. Oh my, how wonderful, you think,
• 6:53
  but how can she you wonder? Melody sees that you
• 6:58
  look puzzled, so she tells you that what she does
• 7:03
  is concentrate very hard as she looks at the flowers,
• 7:07
  and she imagines them slowly rising and rising until they
• 7:11
  are floating above her head. Then she imagines them dancing
• 7:16
  for her, and they do. Wow. Melody tells you that
• 7:21
  you can do it. Two of you want to, and
• 7:24
  she will show you how. Next to Melody is a
• 7:28
  little basket filled with daisies and buttercups, and she tells
• 7:33
  you to take some of the flowers and lay them
• 7:34
  down in front of you. So you do. Now, Melody
• 7:40
  says to you, just concentrate and the flowers and just focus.
• 7:46
  Think of nothing else, only the flowers. Then she says,
• 7:50
  imagine the flowers slowly rising upwards. You concentrate really hard
• 8:00
  and focus on the flowers, and you stare at them
• 8:03
  really really hard. You scrunch up your face and screw
• 8:07
  up your eyes. But nothing happens. Oh, you feel disappointed.
• 8:15
  You really thought you could do it. Melody gives a
• 8:20
  little laugh and smiles at you. She tells you that
• 8:24
  you are concentrating a little bit too hard. She tells
• 8:29
  you to relax. She says, close your eyes and fill
• 8:34
  your heart with love and take three deep breaths in
• 8:38
  and out. Then open your eyes. So you do, you relax.
• 8:46
  You close your eyes and you fill your heart with
• 8:49
  as much love as you can.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And then you breathe in and breathe out. Then you
• 8:59
  breathe in and breathe out. Then you breathe in, then
• 9:08
  you breathe out. Now you open your eyes.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You feel a lot calmer. Now, Melody tells you you
• 9:21
  just see the flowers lifting with your mind. So once
• 9:26
  again you focus on the tiny flowers. Only this time
• 9:32
  flowers start to quiver. So you keep on focusing and
• 9:37
  are absolutely amazed when the tiny flowers slowly begin to rise.
• 9:45
  Oh wow, you're doing it. You are really doing it.
• 9:52
  You watch as your flowers rise higher and higher, and
• 9:56
  you see them floating above your head. You see them
• 9:59
  begin to dance for you. Oh my goodness, this truly
• 10:04
  is magical. You truly are magical. So now Melody's flowers
• 10:14
  and your flowers are both dancing above your heads, and
• 10:18
  you find it easier and easier to do this. In fact,
• 10:22
  you're not even concentrating now you're just making the flowers
• 10:25
  dance and float in the air. You're just doing it.
• 10:31
  How wonderful. So for a few moments to stay with
• 10:36
  Melody in play and see what else you can make
• 10:39
  your flowers do. Maybe you can make them go higher,
• 10:42
  or maybe you, a Melody, can make your flowers dance together.
• 10:47
  So have some fun, just for a little while.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: M s.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Wow, that was amazing, wasn't it. You truly are magical.
• 13:22
  But now it's time for you to return. So you
• 13:27
  put your flowers back inside the little basket for Melody
• 13:31
  and thank her for showing you that you are magical too.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Melody tells you that you can do anything you want
• 13:41
  if you focus your mind enough. She tells you that
• 13:44
  you are indeed very magical. Melody tells you that you
• 13:51
  are a very special being. She says that all you
• 13:55
  have to do is fill your heart with love and
• 13:59
  project it outward to the world. She says that if
• 14:04
  you always do that, you will never go wrong. She
• 14:08
  says that everyone can do it if they want to.
• 14:11
  Sometimes it just takes a little bit of practice. So
• 14:17
  you say good bye to Melody and you stand up.
• 14:21
  Then Melody reaches into a little bag she has around
• 14:24
  a waist you didn't notice it before, and she pulls
• 14:28
  out some gold and sparkling dust. She says, she can
• 14:32
  get you home much quicker, and she very gently sprinkles
• 14:37
  it over your head, and in the blink of an eye,
• 14:41
  your back home in your very own bed. Wow, how
• 14:46
  cool is that she snuggle down near your quilt and
• 14:53
  lay your head on your soft pillows. And as she relax,
• 15:00
  you feel yourself becoming so very sleepy, and you feel
• 15:05
  yourself drifting peacefully into sleep, and you smile to yourself
• 15:14
  and think how wonderful it was to meet Melody to day.
• 15:18
  You are so grateful to her for teaching you how
• 15:22
  to use your mind to make the flowers dance. And
• 15:28
  you know you'll sleep well to night because your heart
• 15:31
  feels so very happy, and your body is completely calm
• 15:38
  and resting, so peaceful and so calm as you go
• 15:46
  deeper and deeper into a beautiful night sleep, and you're
• 15:53
  breathing quietly and gently, now knowing that you will see
• 15:58
  Melody again, and you will make the flowers dance. That's
• 16:05
  so peaceful, so common, so very safe. Good night, Sweet dreams, s, S.
