  Speaker 1: M hmm. Make yourself all cozy and relaxed in your
• 0:25
  bed and close your eyes. Take a deep breath in
• 0:33
  and then slowly and gently let the breath out again.
• 0:42
  Deep breath in, and then slowly and gently let the
• 0:49
  breath out one more time. Deep breath in, and then
• 1:00
  slowly and gently let the breath out. Just relax. Now,
• 1:09
  imagine yourself surrounded by a beautiful white light, a light
• 1:15
  so bright and so pure, a light of protection and peace.
• 1:23
  Breathe in this white light, feel it as it enters
• 1:27
  your body, making you feel all warm and safe. And
• 1:33
  with each breath you take, you can feel yourself becoming
• 1:39
  more and more relaxed, more and more calm. And you
• 1:46
  feel so peaceful now, so relaxed, but you feel very
• 1:53
  happy and light and your breathing is almost still relaxed. Now,
• 2:05
  magine he was standing in a very large fruit garden
• 2:10
  that was home to many different varieties of fruit, from
• 2:14
  juicy apples, hairs, oranges, plums, to sweet strawberries and many
• 2:21
  many more. Now, this garden was also the home of
• 2:26
  a friendly giant pander named Saffron, who loved to play
• 2:31
  and roam around the garden freely, so as you walk
• 2:37
  further into the garden, you look ahead and see Saffron
• 2:41
  sitting lazily under a big bamboo tree, eating the leaves
• 2:46
  off the branches. She looks up and she sees you too,
• 2:51
  and she gives you the most amazing smile, and she
• 2:55
  asks you if you would like to join her and
• 2:57
  have some of her leaves. You smile back at and
• 3:01
  say no, thank you, you have just eaten your lunch,
• 3:05
  but thank you for asking. But really, though you didn't
• 3:09
  really want to eat leaves, and how I wouldn't. So
• 3:13
  as you sit talking to Saffron, you hear a russell
• 3:18
  in the bamboo tree. When down puts a beautiful red squirrel.
• 3:23
  Saffron tells you that this is her best friend called Mike,
• 3:27
  who loves to keep himself busy with lots of fun
• 3:29
  and games around the garden. He's very playful and together
• 3:34
  Saffron and Mike are always exploring the beautiful garden, picking
• 3:38
  plenty of fruits as they go along. They're very happy there.
• 3:45
  Saffron tells you that she loves the bamboo trees. It's
• 3:49
  her favorite thing to eat, and again she offers you
• 3:53
  some of her leaves, and again you'd politely say no,
• 3:57
  thank you, I'm not very hungry now. Mike, on the
• 4:03
  other hand, just loves to climb onto the branches and
• 4:05
  show off his acrobatic moods as he jumps from branch
• 4:08
  to branch, from tree to tree. Saffron says she wishes
• 4:13
  she could do that too, but she's just too big.
• 4:17
  Saffron and Mike decide to show you around their beautiful garden,
• 4:23
  and as you walk, you can hear the sound of
• 4:25
  the chirping birds as the warm sun shines down on
• 4:28
  your face. You see a lot of lovely butterflies flitting
• 4:33
  from tree to tree looking for nectar to eat, and
• 4:37
  you can hear the gentle buzz of the bees as
• 4:39
  they too, fly from flower to flower, and you think
• 4:43
  that this is such a wonderful place to be. Suddenly,
• 4:50
  the three of you stumble across a hidden grove filled
• 4:53
  with exotic fruits, and that Saffron and Mike, well, they've
• 4:57
  never seen it before. So the three of you decide
• 5:01
  to explore, and as you walk, you taste each new
• 5:06
  fruit you find, and they are absolutely delicious, and you
• 5:12
  think how lucky they are to live in such a
• 5:16
  magical place. As you continue walking, you can hear the
• 5:24
  sound of splashing water, so you all go towards a sound,
• 5:29
  and to everyone's amazement, you discover a small pond right
• 5:34
  at the very edge of the garden. And at the
• 5:37
  far end of the pond it's a beautiful, gentle waterfall.
• 5:42
  And that was the splashing sound you could hear. It's
• 5:45
  a very large pond, and it's filled with plenty of
• 5:48
  colorful fish and lots and lots of lovely lotus flowers.
• 5:54
  We're all feeling a bit warm now, so you decide
• 5:57
  to go for a swim to cool off, and you
• 6:00
  all have lots of fun splashing about and swimming to
• 6:04
  do the side of the pond. All the little fish
• 6:07
  thought this looked like so much fun that they too
• 6:11
  decided to join in with Saffron, Mike and you. So
• 6:17
  for a few moments, have fun with Saffron and Mike
• 6:21
  and all the little fish. Float on your back and
• 6:24
  watch the fluffy white clouds drift across the beautiful blue sky.
• 6:30
  Maybe you can have a race to see who can
• 6:32
  swim far across the pond, who can do it the fastest,
• 6:38
  just for a few moments, did well, Now that was fun.
• 8:38
  Wasn't it. Now that you've all called off, you all
• 8:44
  get out of the pond, and Mike has a good idea.
• 8:48
  He says, let's build a raft. We can build it
• 8:52
  out of bamboo sticks. Wow, that's a good idea, you think.
• 8:57
  So you all work really hard putting it together, and
• 9:01
  when it's finally finished, you're all so very pleased. Saffron,
• 9:07
  being the biggest, puts a little raft into the water.
• 9:11
  It's a bit mobbly at face, but it doesn't sink.
• 9:15
  The three of you climb aboard and push off from
• 9:18
  the bank, and you just float around the pond, imagining
• 9:24
  yourselves as adventurers sailing across a great, big ocean, and
• 9:30
  you're having so much fun together, just floating along having adventures. Now,
• 9:41
  after a little while, you pull over to the other
• 9:45
  side of the pond and you're just about to get
• 9:48
  off the raft when you notice that some other animals
• 9:51
  are on the other side and they are watching the
• 9:55
  three of you and grinning. They shouted over and asked
• 9:59
  if they play too well. Saffron and Mike said, well, yes,
• 10:04
  of course they could, So the three of you sailed
• 10:07
  back towards them. There was a mischievous monkey named Max,
• 10:13
  who tells you that he loves to swing from tree
• 10:15
  to tree. There was a friendly parrot called Sophia, and
• 10:20
  she tells you that she just loves to sing and
• 10:23
  sing and sing. There was even a family of rabbits
• 10:27
  who were hopping up and down in excitement. So they
• 10:31
  all climbed on board the raft. But this time it
• 10:34
  really did wobble a lot. Of course, once everyone sat down,
• 10:40
  the little raft became steady again. That's the little raft
• 10:46
  floated along and everyone got to know each other. The monkey,
• 10:52
  the parrots, and the rabbits tell you that they had
• 10:55
  always lived in this beautiful garden, but were afraid to
• 10:59
  show themselves as they were quite shy. They've got a
• 11:02
  bit scared sometimes to meet someone new. Saffron told them
• 11:07
  that they didn't have to be scared of him and Mike,
• 11:08
  oh you for that matter, as you are all friends now,
• 11:12
  and friends take good care of each other. Saffron said,
• 11:17
  friends were always there for each other, no matter what.
• 11:22
  So for a few moments, have fun with your lovely
• 11:26
  new friends. Tell them all about yourself, where you live,
• 11:32
  what you like to do, Tell them who your best
• 11:36
  friend is. How wonderful was that? You found some lovely
• 14:20
  new friends, but now it's time for you to return
• 14:24
  to your own home. Saffron and Mike ask you that
• 14:29
  when you come back for another visit, maybe you can
• 14:33
  have a sleepover with them in their brand new tent,
• 14:37
  and the moon and the stars can be your night
• 14:40
  light and you can share even more stories and giggle
• 14:44
  until you all fall asleep. You are so happy that
• 14:50
  you say you would like that very much. Indeed, together
• 14:55
  all these animals have created an unbreakable bond with each
• 14:59
  other and with you too, that makes this large fruit
• 15:03
  garden an even happier place than it was already. And
• 15:11
  so you say good bye to all your new friends
• 15:14
  and thank them for sharing this magical place with you,
• 15:18
  and you promise to visit again really soon. Now, as
• 15:23
  you lay in your comfy bed with your eyes gently closing,
• 15:29
  you think of this wonderful place, the garden that's always
• 15:34
  filled with happiness and kindness, with all the animals living
• 15:38
  in perfect harmony, and you know that this wonderful paradise
• 15:44
  will always hold a special place in your heart. But
• 15:50
  now you feel a gentle wave of sleepiness starting at
• 15:54
  your feet. It's a warm, gentle feeling, kind of like
• 16:00
  how a feather feels when you brush it against your skin,
• 16:05
  So soft and gentle and just a little bit tickly,
• 16:12
  and it travels all the way up your body as
• 16:17
  you fall deeper and deeper into sleep, dreaming of the
• 16:22
  many adventures you will have. The beautiful fruit gone with
• 16:29
  Saffron and Mike, Night Night, Sleep tight. Did you belie
