  Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable. Take a big,
• 0:33
  deep breath in through your nose and slowly and gently
• 0:39
  breathe out through your mouth. Take another deep breath in
• 0:48
  and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. One
• 0:57
  last time, deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe
• 1:05
  out through your mouth. Feel a gentle rhythm of your breath.
• 1:15
  Take a moment to listen to your heartbeat. Feel a
• 1:20
  gentle rise and fall of your chest as it moves
• 1:24
  in time with your heartbeat. And each time it does this,
• 1:29
  you feel more and more relaxed, more and more calm,
• 1:34
  more and more peaceful. Every time you breathe in, you're
• 1:42
  breathing in deep relaxation, and it feels so wonderful and
• 1:49
  so peaceful. Now, tense up your whole body really tightly
• 1:57
  and hold it for just a few seconds. Hold it tightly,
• 2:03
  and now let it go. Feel your legs going limp
• 2:07
  and soft as your muscles relax. Feel your whole body
• 2:12
  softening as you gently relax. So one more time, Tighten
• 2:19
  up all of your muscles in your body really tightly.
• 2:22
  Bail your hands into fists and hold it for just
• 2:26
  a few seconds. Hold it and now let it go.
• 2:32
  That's really good, well done. Now imagine that you have
• 2:38
  roots growing out from the soles of your feet, roots
• 2:43
  that just look like the roots of a tree, all long,
• 2:47
  wobbly and numbly. And you can hear your roots growing
• 2:53
  through the ground. You can hear them as they push
• 2:57
  their way through the soil and a little bit really
• 3:02
  feel the soil under your feet. Can you feel it?
• 3:09
  This is called grounding, and this keeps your energy planted
• 3:14
  in the ground so that you too can grow big
• 3:17
  and strong, just like the trees. Now see yourself surrounded
• 3:25
  by a beautiful white light that sparkles and shines, making
• 3:31
  you feel so safe and so protected because you are
• 3:36
  this beautiful shining light, and you feel so relaxed now
• 3:43
  that your whole body is still so very still and
• 3:49
  so very peaceful. Now, I'm going to tell you a
• 3:56
  short little story about Doris, the little pink piglet. She
• 4:02
  was a very brave and happy little piglet, and she
• 4:05
  absolutely loved everyone everyone she met, and she wanted everyone
• 4:11
  to be her friend. Doris was a cute and cuddly
• 4:17
  little pink piglet. She had a pink curly tail, a
• 4:21
  pink nose and pink ears that would wiggle whenever she
• 4:25
  was happy. She loved rolling around in the mud and
• 4:31
  squealed with joy whenever she found a nice warm spot
• 4:34
  to snuggle in, even if she did get a bit muddy.
• 4:38
  Doris lived on a farm. She was a very curious
• 4:43
  and adventurous little piglet. She was always looking for new
• 4:47
  experiences and new friends. Doris was always hungry too, and
• 4:52
  would wink loudly whenever she wanted attention or food. She
• 4:57
  had a habit of eating every thinking sight, including her
• 5:02
  owner's flower beds, But despite this, her owner loved her
• 5:06
  diggerly and always made sure she was well fed. Doris's
• 5:12
  favorite pastime was playing in the fields, chasing after butterflies
• 5:17
  and snuffling the truffles. She loved her around, grunting with
• 5:21
  excitement and oinking happily whenever she found something interesting, and
• 5:26
  she nearly always did. But at the end of the day,
• 5:30
  Doris would always come back to her owner for a snuggle,
• 5:34
  closing her eyes contentedly as she drifted off to sleep.
• 5:40
  One day, while exploring the farm, she encountered a group
• 5:45
  of ducklings playing near the pond, and they were laughing
• 5:50
  and having fun splashing about in that pond, and Doris
• 5:53
  really wanted to join them. She wanted to play with
• 5:56
  them and have fun too, But the duckling didn't want
• 6:00
  to play with her because she was different. They said
• 6:05
  that pigs were not supposed to play with ducks because
• 6:08
  they were different. This made Doris feel sad and alone,
• 6:14
  but she didn't give up. She decided to learn how
• 6:19
  to swim and fly like a duck so that she
• 6:23
  could play with them. Oh my, oh my word, that's
• 6:27
  a tall order. So Doris practiced every day and soon
• 6:34
  became good at swimming and jumping. She even learned how
• 6:38
  to fly a little bit with the help of some
• 6:41
  friendly sparrows. Imagine that of flying piglets. Wow. Finally, the
• 6:50
  day came when she was ready to show her new
• 6:53
  skills to the ducklings. She jumped into the pond and
• 6:57
  swam towards them, making big splashes and quacking like a duck.
• 7:01
  The ducklings were amazed and very impressed with how far
• 7:06
  Doris had come. They saw how determined and brave Doris was,
• 7:11
  so they welcomed her into their little group. Doris realized
• 7:18
  that she had many new friends. And was looking forward
• 7:21
  to all the adventures they would have together. And she
• 7:24
  realized that being different was not a bad thing, but
• 7:28
  rather something to be proud of. And she learned that
• 7:33
  with determination and hard work, you can achieve anything you
• 7:38
  set your mind to be, anything you want to be.
• 7:44
  Doris also realized that it doesn't matter if we are
• 7:48
  all different from one or other. It only matters that
• 7:51
  we are kind to each other and that we help
• 7:55
  each other whenever our help is needed, and Doris found
• 8:00
  that she would always help every one, no matter how
• 8:03
  different they were from her. Doris lived happily on the fall,
• 8:10
  still enduring her favorite pastimes of rolling in the mud
• 8:14
  and snuffling for truffles, and most of all, playing with
• 8:17
  her new friends, the ducklings. And from that day on,
• 8:22
  Doris knew no matter where life took her, she would
• 8:28
  always have a warm place to call home and lots
• 8:32
  of wonderful friends. But now it's time for you to
• 8:37
  snuggle down and get some sleep. And you think to yourself,
• 8:42
  what a wonderful little pig like Doris's, And you say
• 8:45
  to yourself that you would like to be just like hair.
• 8:53
  So as you lie in your nice warm bed, you
• 8:57
  feel a gentle wave of sleepiness still at your feet,
• 9:02
  and you can feel your toes going to sleep. It
• 9:04
  feels all warm and tingling and ever so soft. You
• 9:10
  feel this soothing, gentle wave of sleepiness coming up your
• 9:15
  calves and your shins, and you can feel it going
• 9:18
  up your sighs, and you think to yourself, oh, my
• 9:23
  legs have gone to sleep, Yes they have. But you
• 9:27
  feel very tired now, so sleepy, but so happy. And
• 9:34
  this beautiful wave of sleepiness travels all the way up
• 9:38
  your body and down your arms and into your hands,
• 9:44
  making your body feel very very heavy, very very tired,
• 9:52
  and very very sleepy. And this gentle, warm way of
• 10:00
  sleepiness travels up your face and over the top of
• 10:05
  your head, down the back of your neck, and you
• 10:10
  feel so tired, so sleeping. Now you feel so very
• 10:18
  peaceful now and so very relaxed, so relaxed, very very sleepy.
• 10:29
  So for now, night night anything sai in no anything
