  Speaker 1: Snuggle down in your very own bed, get yourself all
• 0:37
  nice and comforty. Now allow your eyes to gently close
• 0:44
  and just focus on your breathing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Just let all of your troubles just float away. So
• 0:53
  take a deep breath into your nose and slowly and
• 0:58
  gently breathe through your mouth. Again, take another deep breath
• 1:08
  and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. One
• 1:15
  last time, Deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe
• 1:22
  out through your mouth. I just bring your breathing back
• 1:27
  to its normal rhythm. Just relax, letting all your thoughts
• 1:33
  just drift away. Now, imagine that you are in the
• 1:40
  most beautiful and amazing garden, and you can feel the
• 1:45
  soft grasp beneath your feet. You can hear the fluttering
• 1:49
  of birds. You can hear the wings as they fly
• 1:52
  around you looking for insects to eat. You can even
• 1:56
  hear them singing in the trees. And your beautiful garden
• 2:03
  is surrounded by bright green bushes, and they become brighter
• 2:08
  and sharper as you look around. And there are beautiful
• 2:12
  statues dotted all over the place, and the plants that
• 2:16
  you see are so vibrant, and the flowers smell wonderful
• 2:22
  and it tickles your nose just a little bit, breathe
• 2:26
  in the fresh crisp air. It feels so good to
• 2:31
  be here. Now. This garden is very, very big, and
• 2:39
  you notice some movement further into the garden. You wonder
• 2:42
  what it is. It's then you see ladies in long
• 2:46
  flowing dresses and men carrying swords on their hips, and
• 2:50
  you wonder who they are? Can you see them? They're
• 2:55
  all laughing and having fun. In fact, they all seem
• 2:59
  to be having a turely good time. It's like they're
• 3:02
  having their own garden party. You can hear medieval music
• 3:06
  in the background, and it has a very friendly atmosphere,
• 3:11
  and you feel so peaceful and calm. It's so relaxing here.
• 3:18
  As you look around you you see horses too, and
• 3:22
  you wonder how on earth they got here. You can
• 3:24
  even smell the horses a bit wiy so on them.
• 3:30
  As you continue to walk forward, you notice a path
• 3:33
  before you, and its stones are smooth and they glisten
• 3:37
  in the sunlight. So you step onto this path and
• 3:41
  continue to walk forward, and you wonder where does it go?
• 3:46
  Where will it lead you? With each step you take,
• 3:52
  you can feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed, and
• 3:56
  you feel so peaceful following this gently winding path, and
• 4:01
  the music you were hearing is slowly fading. As you
• 4:05
  walk further away from it, You've notice two butterflies floating
• 4:10
  past you. It's like they were dancing on the gentle
• 4:13
  breeze just for you. You watch them as they land
• 4:17
  and settle a beautiful, bright yellow flower, and they just
• 4:22
  sit there with their wings gently opening and closing, cooling
• 4:27
  off a thing in the distance. You hear the trickling
• 4:32
  sounds of water, so you move towards a sound to
• 4:36
  see where it's coming from, and you find yourself standing
• 4:40
  before a great stone fountain. What does your fountain look like?
• 4:47
  Is it made of stone or is it made of marble?
• 4:51
  Notice the details. Are there any curves on your fountain
• 4:57
  or is it all straight lines? You can see and
• 5:02
  hear the splashing of the water as it runs down
• 5:05
  the fountain, and you know that the water in this
• 5:08
  fountain is here to refresh you, and it feels very
• 5:13
  special to be here. It feels like a very special place.
• 5:20
  You see a cup on the edge of the fountain
• 5:22
  and you pick it up. It's not really a cup.
• 5:26
  It's a chalice, but you feel very thirsty now, so
• 5:30
  you eagerly dip your chalice into the water. You're bring
• 5:34
  it up to your lips and you sip the water,
• 5:37
  drinking every last drop. You feel overwhelmingly grateful for this
• 5:43
  water because it makes you feel so alive and so refreshed,
• 5:47
  and you're so thankful for this healing and rejuvenation. It
• 5:52
  makes you feel as if everything has been healed into
• 5:55
  your body, and it makes you feel that your mind
• 5:59
  is now very clear and that nothing can ever bother
• 6:02
  you again. This fountain inspires you to appreciate the gifts
• 6:07
  in your life. It makes you so very grateful for
• 6:11
  all of the people that love you and who are
• 6:14
  a part of your life, your family, your friends, well
• 6:18
  for everyone really. Suddenly you hear a rustling in the
• 6:24
  bushes nearby, and you wonder what it is, so you
• 6:28
  walk over and take a look. As you part the bushes,
• 6:34
  you see a tiny, little white rabbit. He is very
• 6:37
  small and has very long, droopy years and the saddest
• 6:41
  brown eyes you have ever seen. You slowly and gently
• 6:47
  reach out your hand to him to show him that
• 6:50
  he has nothing to be afraid of. He looks back
• 6:53
  at you and gives your hand a little sniff, And
• 6:56
  as he does this, something very special happens. You can
• 7:02
  hear his thoughts in your mind. Well, rabbits can't talk,
• 7:06
  so it's only natural that he can speak to you
• 7:08
  with his mind, isn't it. And you hear him saying
• 7:13
  in your mind, please help me. I am so thirsty,
• 7:18
  but because I am so small, I cannot reach the
• 7:20
  fountain to have a drink. Please will you help me? Well,
• 7:25
  of course you will, you say. You take the chalice
• 7:28
  and fill it with water, and then gently place it
• 7:31
  on the ground in front of the tiny rabbit, and
• 7:34
  you watch as he drinks and drinks and drinks. Wow,
• 7:38
  you think yourself, he really is thirsty. When the little
• 7:43
  white rabbit has finished all of the water in the cup,
• 7:46
  he says, thank you, but he still looks so sad.
• 7:50
  So you ask him why is he still so sad,
• 7:55
  And in your mind you hear him reply that he
• 7:59
  doesn't know what to do when you are gone, because
• 8:02
  he still can't reach the fountain and he still won't
• 8:05
  be able to drink the water. So you look around
• 8:08
  you to find something you can build some steps with.
• 8:12
  If you do that, then the little rabbit will never
• 8:15
  have to worry again. So you find some very large stones,
• 8:22
  and you gather them all up and begin to make
• 8:24
  steps for the little white rabbit. The little white rabbit
• 8:28
  sits and watches you. Eventually you make enough steps and
• 8:34
  ask the little white rabbit to try and climb up them.
• 8:38
  He's a little bit afraid at first, but with you
• 8:41
  cheering them on, he bravely climbs up all of the steps.
• 8:45
  He reaches the top and he looks at you with
• 8:47
  amazement and such happiness on his little face. He stands
• 8:53
  on the rim of the fountain and begins to drink
• 8:56
  the water. When he's finished, he looks at you with
• 9:01
  the biggest grin, and his big brown eyes are shining
• 9:05
  with happiness. He can't thank you enough. He tells you
• 9:09
  now that he will never have to worry about how
• 9:12
  he can get to the water. He tells you that
• 9:15
  he's going to tell all of his friends so that
• 9:18
  they too can drink. The little white rabbit suddenly gives
• 9:23
  a little laugh, and he says, because he was so thirsty,
• 9:27
  he forgot to tell you his name. So he tells
• 9:30
  you his name is Sebastian so you tell him your name.
• 9:35
  You even shake hands, well hand in a poor so
• 9:40
  for a few moments, spend some time talking to Sebastian
• 9:44
  and get to know him a little bit. Maybe he
• 9:47
  will introduce you to his friends. Look around you some more.
• 9:53
  Maybe you and Sebastian can visit the ladies in the
• 9:56
  long dresses and the gentleman who carries swords on the hips.
• 10:00
  Maybe the two of you can join in their garden
• 10:03
  party to have a look, have fun, see when else
• 10:08
  is out there.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Mmmm.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Now it's time for you to leave the garden and
• 12:58
  say goodbye to Sebastian. He thanks you once more for
• 13:02
  all of your kindness to him. He tells you that
• 13:07
  he hopes that you will soon come back to visit him,
• 13:11
  and he says that next time he'll take you to
• 13:13
  the underground village. Maybe you can even have a sleep
• 13:17
  over there. You wave goodbye and begin to walk back
• 13:22
  along the path. The trees above you are very strong.
• 13:27
  The leaves are glistening in the sunlight. Without the water
• 13:32
  from this fountain, it would not stand so tall and
• 13:35
  so strong. The flowers maybe they would not smile as much.
• 13:41
  The animals would go tasty, but they are happy because
• 13:48
  of you. They are happy because you are so grateful
• 13:52
  for everything in your life. It's like a ripple effect.
• 13:57
  When you are happy, it shocks can be seen in
• 14:00
  your eyes and in your smile, and the world can
• 14:04
  feel your happiness. So the world will smile too, because
• 14:10
  the world will feel happy just like you. And you
• 14:14
  feel ever so happy now, full of joy and peace,
• 14:20
  and always remember that you can return to this garden
• 14:23
  whenever you would like, and you can fill your coup
• 14:27
  with gratitude, and of course to see Sebastia again. But
• 14:33
  you feel very sleepy now, so tired and relaxed, and
• 14:40
  you feel a gentle wave of sleepiness starting at your feet.
• 14:45
  You can feel your toes going to sleep, and it
• 14:48
  feels all warm and tingling and ever so soft. You
• 14:53
  can feel the soothing, gentle wave of sleepiness coming up
• 14:58
  your calves and your shin. You can feel like going
• 15:03
  up into your thighs, and you think your legs have
• 15:06
  already gone to sleep. You feel very tired now, so sleepy,
• 15:13
  so happy, and it feels hard to open your eyes
• 15:17
  because they feel so heavy, And this beautiful wave of
• 15:22
  sleepiness travels all the way up your body, down your arms,
• 15:28
  and into your hands, making your body feel very very heavy,
• 15:36
  very very tired, and very very sleepy. And this gentle,
• 15:44
  warm wave of sleepiness travels up your face, over the
• 15:49
  top of your head, and down the back of your neck. Oh,
• 15:53
  you feel so tired now so sleepy, are nice and
• 16:01
  warm and snugly, So just have a little sleep now.
• 16:09
  Night night, sleep night, h m m m am. Coming
