  Speaker 1: Mhm. Close your eyes and snuggle down in your nice
• 0:31
  cozy bed and just relax. I'll take a deep breath
• 0:37
  in through your nose and slowly and gently breathe out
• 0:43
  through your mouth. Again, Deep breath in, and slowly and
• 0:52
  gently breathe out through your mouth. One more time. Deep
• 1:01
  breath in and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.
• 1:12
  Now just relax and let your breathing come back to
• 1:16
  its normal rhythm. Now, imagine yourself surrounded by a pure
• 1:24
  white light, a light that's so bright and so pure,
• 1:30
  so fresh and so clean. Now imagine the whole room
• 1:36
  filled with this beautiful shining light. Breathe in this healing
• 1:44
  energy of this bright light. Breathe in its protection. Really
• 1:50
  fill your lungs with deep breaths of pure white healing energy,
• 1:59
  and let this lie expand into your whole body and
• 2:05
  it brings with it a deep sense of peace and joy.
• 2:14
  Now take a moment. Become aware of your body. Just
• 2:19
  become aware of how you fill the space that's surrounding you,
• 2:25
  how much space it takes in your bed. Notice how
• 2:31
  your breath flows in and out, in and out, in
• 2:40
  and out. Don't change your breathing anyway, just breathe and
• 2:49
  just relax. Just simply notice how your body breathes. Your
• 2:58
  body knows how much air in you. It's very clever.
• 3:02
  It knows everything that your body needs. Now, imagine that
• 3:11
  you are walking on a path in a fresh green field.
• 3:16
  But the grass is very long, so long in fact,
• 3:21
  it comes up to your thighs, and you can see
• 3:24
  all around you for miles and miles, and it's such
• 3:28
  a beautiful, pleasant day. You can see the rolling hills
• 3:33
  in the distance and a few trees dotted on the
• 3:37
  top of them. They look so wonderful, so inviting. You
• 3:43
  can even see white fluffy dots on them, and you
• 3:46
  realize that there are sheep with their little lambs trotting
• 3:50
  along beside them. Now, as you walk along the path,
• 3:56
  you notice that there are wild flowers growing in amongst
• 4:01
  the grass, and you can see many different colors of
• 4:04
  poppies with their heads standing proudly up towards the sun.
• 4:10
  There are lots of other flowers too, all different colors,
• 4:14
  all pigging up through the long grass, and the scent
• 4:18
  of the flowers is amazing and it makes you feel
• 4:23
  so happy. The sun is shining brightly with a few
• 4:30
  small clouds high above you, and the sky is the
• 4:35
  most wonderful blue. But you carry on walking down the
• 4:40
  path towards a small white fence, And when you reach
• 4:46
  the fence, you see a little wooden gate, so you
• 4:50
  open the gate and go into the next field. Now,
• 4:55
  this field looks like it's a yellow field, because all
• 4:58
  you can see color yellow. You take a good look
• 5:03
  around you and you realize that it's a field full
• 5:07
  of sunflowers. And they are beautiful, standing tall with their
• 5:13
  heads raised up towards the sun. Wow, what a wonderful
• 5:19
  sight to see. As you look at the stunning flowers.
• 5:26
  One of the flowers turns its head towards you, and
• 5:30
  this flower has a beautiful little face. It has two
• 5:35
  gorgeous friendly eyes, the little nose, and the most amazing smile. Wow,
• 5:43
  you didn't know sunflowers had faces. Not only do they
• 5:48
  have faces, they have voices too. The sunflower says hello
• 5:54
  to you and asks you what your name is. The
• 5:58
  sunflower tells you that he is Angel, so you tell
• 6:02
  her your name too. As you speak, more sunflowers turn
• 6:10
  towards you, and they too have happy little faces, just
• 6:14
  like Angel. They all say hello too. And they tell
• 6:19
  you their names as well. Wow, you think that this
• 6:23
  is absolutely amazing talking happy sunflowers. How cool is that.
• 6:35
  Angel tells you that they are getting ready for the
• 6:38
  daily dose of the sunshine. She tells you that they
• 6:43
  all love to turn their faces towards the sun to
• 6:45
  feel its warmth. The sun helps them to grow big
• 6:50
  and strong, very tall and straight. And she tells you
• 6:56
  that the sun makes them feel very happy. Angel tells
• 7:02
  you that the most important thing is to enjoy your life.
• 7:08
  She tells you that to be happy is all that matters,
• 7:13
  and the sunshine makes all the flowers very happy. Angel
• 7:20
  asks you if you would like to join them soaking
• 7:24
  up the sunshine, and you say yes, of course you would.
• 7:29
  So Angel tells you to lie down on the grassy path.
• 7:35
  She tells you to close your eyes and lift your
• 7:38
  face towards the sun. She says to lay very still
• 7:45
  and just feel the sunshine on your face. So you
• 7:50
  lay down and close your eyes, and immediately you can
• 7:56
  feel the sun's rays warming. You feel so gentle upon
• 8:01
  your face. It makes you smile. It makes you feel
• 8:06
  so good about yourself. The warmth of the sun. You
• 8:12
  feel the sun warm in you, and it feels so nice.
• 8:17
  You feel it warm in your legs, you feel it
• 8:21
  warm in your body, you feel it warm in your
• 8:26
  arms and your hands, and the sun doesn't feel hot,
• 8:30
  just lovely and warm. It makes you feel that you
• 8:36
  can do anything. It makes you feel so wonderful and
• 8:42
  full of energy, and you feel re energized, as if
• 8:46
  you can well, as if you can fly if you
• 8:49
  want it to. So for a few moments, just lay
• 8:55
  there with the sunflowers by your side, and let the
• 8:59
  sun shine heal your body. Let the sunshine fill you
• 9:06
  up with happiness. Now, wasn't that wonderful? You open your
• 12:10
  eyes and look over at the sunflowers, and to your amazement,
• 12:16
  you see that they are all asleep. They look so
• 12:20
  peaceful that you don't want to disturb them, and they
• 12:25
  still have little smiles on their faces. So you think
• 12:30
  to yourself that maybe you should have a little sleep too.
• 12:34
  That would be good right now, wouldn't it. And you
• 12:38
  do feel so sleepy. Now. Sunshine has filled you up
• 12:45
  with happiness and joy. But it also made you sleepy,
• 12:52
  so you don't need to open your eyes. It's okay
• 12:56
  if you just sleep right here on the soft green grass.
• 13:00
  It's very comfy, and besides, the sunshine will keep you
• 13:06
  nice and warm. You begin to feel yourself drifting into sleep,
• 13:16
  and you feel so grateful to the sunflowers for showing
• 13:21
  you how to lay in the sun and be filled
• 13:24
  with happiness and joy, and you just know that you
• 13:30
  will have the best sleep than ever. You give a
• 13:36
  big sigh of happiness that you fall deeper and deeper
• 13:42
  into sleep, and always remember you are safe, you are loved,
• 13:52
  and you are protected always, and when you wake up
• 13:59
  in them, you will feel completely refreshed, right and a
• 14:05
  light and ready to begin the new day ahead, full
• 14:11
  of joy and happiness. And each night from now on
• 14:19
  you will sleep better and better, deeper and deeper. So
• 14:28
  for now, just rest your head and just sleep. Night
• 14:35
