- 0:20Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable. Take a deep
- 0:27breath in through your nose and slowly let the breath
- 0:34out through your mouth. Again, take another deep breath in
- 0:42through your nose and slowly and gently let the breath
- 0:50out once again. Deep breath in and slowly breathe out. Now,
- 1:08imagine yourself standing on a beautiful beach, glorious white sand,
- 1:17and you can hear the calming sounds of the ocean.
- 1:22You can hear the waves as they gently come into
- 1:25the shore. As you listen to the waves, breathe in
- 1:32deeply and slowly breathe out, breathing in cool, refretching air.
- 1:45And every time you hear the waves breaking on the shore,
- 1:50you become more and more relaxed, more and more calm,
- 1:55and more and more peaceful. And you look out over
- 2:03the ocean and see the amazing blue water. It's so
- 2:09calm and peaceful as the waves gently come up onto
- 2:13the sand and then slowly slide back down again back
- 2:20into the beautiful blue ocean. And the day is warm
- 2:27and fresh, and the sun is shining high up in
- 2:31the sky, with only a few fluffy white clouds drifting
- 2:36on by. Now further up on the beach. It's a cave,
- 2:44and you get interested, so you go and take a
- 2:46look at it. The cave is warm and the air
- 2:51is moist, and it's actually very light inside it, so
- 2:56you can see where you're going. You walk through to
- 3:01the other end of the cave and you see that
- 3:04it comes out into a lovely tropical forest, and you
- 3:09can hear the sounds of the forest birds singing. You
- 3:14can even feel a gentle breeze on your face and
- 3:17it feels ever so nice. You can hear the sounds
- 3:22of small animals scurrying through the undergrowth as they go
- 3:26about their daily business. As you walk further in, you
- 3:33see a large rock room in this enchanting and amazing forest,
- 3:39and it has a very large tree standing next to it,
- 3:43and some of its branches are hanging low over the water.
- 3:49And it's then think you notice it's actually a banaca tree,
- 3:53and you can see lots of bananas hanging down and
- 3:56they look very tasty too, and you are a bit hungry,
- 4:02so you decide to pull a few bananas off the
- 4:05tree for your lunch. When suddenly, a small fish leaps
- 4:11out of the water and pulls a banana off the
- 4:13tree and it disappears back into the water. Wow, a
- 4:17banana eating fish. You didn't think fish ate bananas, Well,
- 4:23apparently this one does. You pull off a couple for
- 4:28yourself and sit down to enjoy the tasty bananas. And
- 4:34as you sit there, the little fish again leaps out
- 4:38of the water, grabs a banana, and goes back under
- 4:41the wash again. Oh my, do you wonder what kind
- 4:46of fish it is? Clearly it likes bananas. How strange.
- 4:55As you sit there eating your bananas, a little head
- 5:00up out of the water and stares at him. It's
- 5:04the little fish again. He smiles at you and says,
- 5:08alone and talking fish that eats bananas. What next, you
- 5:15think to yourself. The little fish tells you his name
- 5:20is Pete, and he tells you that he is a piranha.
- 5:25Oh no, you think to yourself, a piranha. You're very
- 5:30sure that they eat people. The little fish see here's
- 5:35your look of alarm, and tells you that he doesn't
- 5:37eat people. Nobody he knows eats people. Besides, he says
- 5:43they don't taste very nice. He only eats bananas. They
- 5:49are his favorite food. Well, the only food they would eat, really,
- 5:56He tells you that his family and friends only fish,
- 6:01and they think he's very strange because he eats bananas,
- 6:06so strange in fact, that they don't talk to him anymore,
- 6:11and this makes him very sad. Indeed, Pete asks you
- 6:18if you would like to come for a swim with him,
- 6:21and you say yes, of course, as long as you
- 6:24don't eat me, and you both give a little laugh.
- 6:30So with a big leap, you jump into the rock
- 6:32pool with an enormous splash, and you swim around for
- 6:37a little while, and then Pete asks you if you
- 6:40would like to meet his friends who live deep within
- 6:43the ocean. Well, you say yes, but you don't think
- 6:47you can hold your breath that long. But Pete says
- 6:51not to worry. He has a magic sweet you can
- 6:54eat and it will let you breathe underwater. Pop the
- 7:00sweet in your mouth and dive deep under the water. Wow,
- 7:06you can still breathe. It's just like breathing air, only
- 7:09it's all watery up, and you can also talk too.
- 7:16Pete takes you to the deep ocean floor and to
- 7:20a little cave. Here is where his friends live, And
- 7:26just then a big squiggly tentacle slowly slides out of
- 7:32the cave, followed by a rather big octopus, who is
- 7:38then followed by many, many smaller octopus. You try to
- 7:43count them, but there are just too many of them.
- 7:47Pete gives a little laugh and tells you that his friend,
- 7:51Olivia the big octopus has two hundred children. Wow, that
- 7:58a lot of children. Olivia smiles, and she says she
- 8:04would like to show you around the cave where they
- 8:06all live. And then she suggests she takes you on
- 8:10a tour of the ocean floor. How fantastic is that?
- 8:18So just for a little while, go with Olivia and
- 8:21Pete and all the little octopus and see where they live,
- 8:27see how they live. Then you can have a wonderful
- 8:33tour of the ocean floor. Go and see what else
- 8:37lives at the bottom of the ocean. See how many
- 8:39different creatures you can find, and have fun. Now you
- 11:01all return to the cave. How wonderful that was to
- 11:07see all the other creatures that live in the ocean.
- 11:12What kind of creatures did you see? Where did they live?
- 11:20How many did you see? Pete the banana eating banana
- 11:30tells Olivia the octopus about the banana's heats, and he
- 11:36tells her how tasty they are, and he teaches them
- 11:41how good bananas are for them, very good for the bones,
- 11:46Pete says. So Olivia decides that the next time she
- 11:52surfaces above the water, she will give these tasty bananas
- 11:56a try. Pete is ecstatic because he knows that they
- 12:01will love them just as much as he does. But
- 12:08now it's time for you to return home. So you
- 12:12say goodbye to Olivia and her children, and Pete guides
- 12:17you back to the rock pool. You climb out of
- 12:21the water and turn and say goodbye to Pete, and
- 12:25you really hope you can see him again soon. Pete
- 12:30tells you that you can come and visit him and
- 12:33his friends any time you want, so you wave goodbye
- 12:39to Pete and begin your journey back home. As you walk,
- 12:46breathe in deeply, filling your lungs with the wonderful, fresh,
- 12:52clean air, and your mind gently begins to drift into
- 12:59a lovely comfortable silence, just letting all the thoughts pass
- 13:05on by and watching any of those sorts just drift away.
- 13:13Breathe deeply as you allow the sounds of the magnificent
- 13:18ocean to wash over. You can you hear the gentle
- 13:24sounds of the waves. They're still there. Breathe in deeply
- 13:32and slowly and gently breathe out, and you are very
- 13:39sleepy now, so tired, so sleepy. You've had a long day.
- 13:48And then you realize that you are back in your
- 13:52very own bed now, and you wonder how that happened.
- 13:58It's a kind of magic. You snuggle down and get
- 14:05very comfy, and you feel yourself going deeper and deeper
- 14:13into beautiful, blissful sleep, feeling so peaceful, so calm, so relaxed,
- 14:25and you can still hear the waves. With each passing wave,
- 14:32your body becomes lighter and lighter, and you have become
- 14:39like the waves, one with the ocean. So just listen
- 14:47to the sounds of the beautiful deep emotionan and just rest.
