  Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable in your very
• 0:31
  own bed. Take a deep breath.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Into your nose.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. Take
• 0:47
  another deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe out
• 0:55
  through your mouth. One last time, deep breath in and
• 1:04
  slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. Just feel
• 1:11
  a gentle rhythm of your breath. Feel a steady beat
• 1:16
  of your heart as it beats merrily in your chest,
• 1:23
  knowing that you are alive. Or take a moment to
• 1:30
  listen to your heartbeat and just feel a gentle rise
• 1:35
  and fall of your chest as it moves in time
• 1:39
  with your heartbeat.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Can you feel it?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Can you feel your chest rising and falling as you
• 1:51
  breathe peacefully. Now imagine yourself surrounded by a beautiful white light,
• 2:03
  a light so bright, a light of protection just for you. Now,
• 2:12
  breathe in this white light and feel it as it
• 2:17
  enters your body, making you feel all warm and safe,
• 2:24
  and it feels so wonderful, so peaceful. Now imagine that
• 2:34
  you are standing in a beautiful meadow and there are
• 2:38
  wild flowers dotted all around the field, and they look
• 2:43
  absolutely amazing, and their colors are so vivid, and they
• 2:51
  sway just a little bit in the gentle breeze. As
• 2:57
  you look around, you see the birds as they fly
• 3:02
  all around the field, probably looking for some food. Can
• 3:08
  you see them? Can you hear them singing their beautiful songs.
• 3:20
  You can also see large trees all around the edges
• 3:25
  of the field, trees of many different shapes and sizes,
• 3:31
  And there are quite a few pine trees too, and
• 3:34
  they smell wonderful. Can you smell them? Can you smell
• 3:41
  the scent of the wild flowers, because they too smell amazing,
• 3:46
  quite like nothing you've smelt before, And that too makes
• 3:51
  you feel so peaceful and so very calm. And the
• 4:01
  scent of the flowers, their ownent, makes you think of
• 4:05
  happy things, happy times in your life, with the people
• 4:10
  you love, with the animals you love, with the friends
• 4:16
  that you love to So you begin to walk into
• 4:23
  the center of this wonderful field, and as you do,
• 4:29
  you notice something up ahead of you. You see a doorway,
• 4:35
  a doorway just standing in the center of the field.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: How strange.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You decide to go and investigate this door standing alone
• 4:47
  in the middle of the field, And so you walk
• 4:50
  towards it, and very soon you are standing in front
• 4:55
  of it. It is white, with a large black hand
• 5:00
  in the middle of it. It's quite big too. You
• 5:05
  walk all the way round it and are very puzzled.
• 5:09
  Why is there? You ask yourself, why is it there?
• 5:14
  Why would there be a door in the middle of
• 5:16
  a field? Again, very strange. So because you are curious,
• 5:26
  you decide to open the door. After all, it doesn't
• 5:30
  seem to lead anywhere, does it. So you press down
• 5:34
  on the handle and open the door. What do you
• 5:39
  see beyond the door? It's really quite amazing. There is
• 5:45
  another place there. Maybe it's another world. Maybe this door
• 5:50
  is a portal to somewhere else. How exciting is that?
• 5:56
  I should peek through? You can see beds through that door,
• 6:00
  lots and lots of beds. Surely that can't be right,
• 6:05
  can it. So you walk around the door again, and
• 6:10
  as you go to the other side of it, you
• 6:13
  see that that side of the door is closed.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: How odd.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: One side of the door is open to another place,
• 6:23
  the other side is still closed.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: So you go back around again to the open doorway,
• 6:34
  and as you look inside, you hear someone call your name,
• 6:39
  and you look down to where the voice came from,
• 6:43
  and you see, to your amazement, a big ginger cat
• 6:47
  with a great, big fluffy tail. How this cat has
• 6:53
  beautiful green eyes and a great big smile on his face,
• 6:58
  and he has very long, silky whiskers and a red
• 7:02
  bow tie around his neck.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: He says hello again and tells.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You that his name is Mango, and that he is
• 7:13
  your guide to day on this little adventure. So you
• 7:19
  tell him below, and you tell him your name, and
• 7:22
  you say thank you very much for guiding me. Mango
• 7:26
  tells you to step through the door so that he
• 7:28
  can close it and you can begin to explore with him.
• 7:34
  So you step into the most beautiful place with rolling
• 7:38
  hills and a bright blue sky with a few fluffy
• 7:43
  white clouds just driftling along. The sun is shining low
• 7:48
  down now, as soon it will be getting dark. And
• 7:52
  you see that there are beds everywhere, and I do
• 7:57
  mean everywhere. There are so many of them that you
• 8:03
  can't count them. There are different sizes, different shapes, different colors.
• 8:10
  There are beds that look like cars, beds that look
• 8:14
  like water beds, beds that look like big trucks, and
• 8:18
  beds that are hammocks, beds that are anything you want
• 8:24
  them to be.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It's just amazing.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So Mango tells you that the soul will be going
• 8:33
  down soon, so you need to choose a bed to
• 8:36
  sleep on for the night. Wow, you get to sleep
• 8:41
  here for the night. How cool is that? So you
• 8:47
  and Mango set off to search for a bed for
• 8:50
  you to sleep on. Later when the sun goes down,
• 8:54
  and you pass so many beds, and Mango says, eat
• 8:59
  and climb on them and see how they feel. He says,
• 9:03
  some of the beds are very soft and are made
• 9:06
  with feathers, some of them are a bit fairmer, and
• 9:10
  some of them really are waterbeds, he says. But it's
• 9:14
  your choice. You can choose any bed you want to
• 9:18
  sleep on. The beds are all different colors too, You
• 9:22
  can even see some in your favorite colors. Some of
• 9:27
  them have very large pillows and they look ever so comfy.
• 9:32
  Some of them just have normal sized pillows, but they
• 9:35
  too look so comfy, and you think you're never going
• 9:42
  to be able to decide what bed you are like
• 9:44
  to sleep in. Mango just laughs and he says that
• 9:49
  you will find the perfect bed for you.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: So for a few.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Moments, go with Mango and explore all of the different beds,
• 10:02
  find the one you like the best, and that will
• 10:05
  be the one you get to sleep on tonight.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: So go with Mango.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Now, sat, Wow, that was great, wasn't it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: How many different beds did you see? Did you decide
• 12:57
  on the perfect bed?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I bet you did.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Now with your chosen bed, you realize that the sun
• 13:07
  is almost gone and it's time for some sleep. So
• 13:12
  Mango leads you back to your chosen bed and he
• 13:16
  pulls back the covers for you, fluffs up the nice
• 13:20
  soft pillows, and you climb in, and Mango asks if
• 13:25
  it's okay if he too can climb up and sleep
• 13:28
  on the top of the bed and maybe keep your
• 13:30
  feet warm and cozy. Well, you say yes, of course
• 13:35
  you can. So the two of you snuggle down and
• 13:41
  you say good night to each other and you both
• 13:44
  close your eyes. You feel so happy to be staying
• 13:51
  here with Mango, and he really is keeping your feet
• 13:55
  nice and warm and cozy, and you feel so grateful
• 14:01
  to profound a new friend in him. He's been so
• 14:04
  kind to you, showing you all the beds and telling
• 14:08
  you which ones he likes to sleep on. And you
• 14:13
  can also come back and visit him whenever you want,
• 14:16
  and maybe have a sleepover again. Now that would be nice,
• 14:21
  wouldn't it. But your eyes are feeling really heavy now,
• 14:28
  and your body is feeling so very tired.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: It's been an exciting.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Being here with mango and choosing your own bed. But
• 14:38
  you take a gentle breath in through your nose and
• 14:43
  then just gently blow it out from your mouth, and
• 14:49
  you take another breath and gently blow that out from
• 14:53
  your mouth too, and you feel very sleepy now, so
• 14:59
  tired and relaxed, and you feel a gentle wave of
• 15:06
  sleepiness starting at your feet. It's a warm, gentle feeling,
• 15:13
  kind of like how a feather feels when you brush
• 15:16
  it up against your skin. So soft, so gentle, and
• 15:24
  you can feel your toes going to sleep, and it
• 15:28
  feels warm and tingly and ever so soft, And you.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Feel a soothing, gentle.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Wave of sleepiness coming up your calves and your shins,
• 15:41
  and you can feel going up your thighs, and you
• 15:45
  think your legs have already gone to sleep. Oh, you
• 15:50
  feel ever stired now, so sleepy, but so very very happy,
• 16:00
  and your eyes just don't want to open now. They're
• 16:04
  quite happy just as they are and this beautiful wave
• 16:09
  of sleepiness travels all the way up your body, down
• 16:15
  your arms, and it's your hands, making your body feel
• 16:21
  very heavy, very tired, and very very sleepy. And this gentle,
• 16:31
  warm wave of sleepiness travels up your face and over
• 16:38
  the top of your head and down the back of
• 16:41
  your neck.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: You feel so tired, so.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Sleepy now, and you feel nice and warm and snugly,
• 16:56
  and your quilt is so soft and your pillows are
• 17:01
  very fluffy. So just have a little sleep now, to
• 17:09
  sleep and relax and be calm. I should go deeper
• 17:16
  and deeper into a wonderful night's sleep. Night night sleep, nights.
• 18:26
