- 8:37Speaker 1: wriggle your fingers and wriggle your toes, and whenever you
- 8:42Speaker 1: are ready, just open your eyes and return to your day.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Now imagine that you are sitting in a beautiful grassy
- 8:54Speaker 1: meadow with your back against a magnificent old oak tree
- 9:01Speaker 1: and this meadow is filled with the most amazing and
- 9:05Speaker 1: beautiful wildflowers and you can see butterflies flying from flower
- 9:12Speaker 1: to flower gathering the nectar and taking their fill the
- 9:20Speaker 1: warm sunshine is shining down on you through the huge
- 9:24Speaker 1: branches of the tree And you can hear the birds
- 9:27Speaker 1: perched on the higher branches, singing merrily away. And the
- 9:33Speaker 1: soft breeze gently rustles the leaves on the tree, keeping
- 9:38Speaker 1: you nice and cool in the warm sunshine. Now imagine
- 9:45Speaker 1: that you have roots growing out from the soles of
- 9:48Speaker 1: your feet. And those roots look just like the roots
- 9:52Speaker 1: of a tree, long and wobbly. And they're burying themselves
- 9:57Speaker 1: deep down into the earth. anchoring you into the ground,
- 10:02Speaker 1: keeping you safe and strong. And you can hear those
- 10:07Speaker 1: roots as they grow through the ground. And you can
- 10:10Speaker 1: hear them as they push their way through the moist soil.
- 10:14Speaker 1: And you can feel the earth moving aside for your
- 10:17Speaker 1: roots to pass. Can you feel it? Can you feel
- 10:21Speaker 1: the soil moving to let your roots pass by? You
- 10:29Speaker 1: feel so strong and powerful now, like nothing can move you,
- 10:34Speaker 1: like nothing can break you or even push you over.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And as you sit there, with your back against the tree,
- 10:43Speaker 1: you begin to feel a tingling sensation running up and
- 10:47Speaker 1: down your back. And it feels very pleasant and warm.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Then you begin to feel the tingling sensation moving down
- 10:58Speaker 1: through your legs and into your feet. And it moves
- 11:02Speaker 1: up your body and down into your arms. And it
- 11:07Speaker 1: feels really very nice. And it gives you a warm,
- 11:10Speaker 1: fuzzy feeling deep inside. Now this tingling sensation is beginning
- 11:17Speaker 1: to energize every part of your body.
- 11:20Speaker 2: The tingling energy travels all the way up to the
- 11:26Speaker 2: top of your head and then back down again to
- 11:30Speaker 2: the bottom of your feet, filling your whole body with
- 11:34Speaker 2: light and energy.
- 11:37Speaker 1: It travels down the back of your neck and around
- 11:40Speaker 1: your throat, loosening your vocal cords, making them feel very
- 11:45Speaker 1: strong and very powerful. And it's helping you to find
- 11:49Speaker 1: your voice. It's helping you to speak clearly and without
- 11:54Speaker 1: any fear whatsoever. And this beautiful tingling energy is flowing
- 12:03Speaker 1: all through your body. And it's flushing out all the
- 12:07Speaker 1: things you no longer need. Like the thoughts you sometimes
- 12:11Speaker 1: have that are maybe not so good. Or maybe the
- 12:14Speaker 1: feelings that make you feel sad or angry. It just
- 12:18Speaker 1: flushes them all away because you don't need them anymore.
- 12:25Speaker 1: So just sit for one moment and let the beautiful
- 12:29Speaker 1: tingling energy just flow just a little bit longer all
- 12:35Speaker 1: the way through your body making you feel happy and safe.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Making you feel very protected, and very loved. Thank you.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Wow.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Notice how good you feel now. How energized you feel.
- 14:05Speaker 1: How you feel like you can take on the world.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And you can because you are filled with this most
- 14:14Speaker 1: wonderful tingling energy and you feel fantastic. You are energized
- 14:22Speaker 1: with the tingling energy that still flows through your body
- 14:26Speaker 1: and it will be there for as long as you
- 14:28Speaker 1: want it to be. So take a deep breath in
- 14:33Speaker 1: through your nose and slowly and gently Breathe out through
- 14:41Speaker 1: your mouth. And feel it giving you amazing strength. Kind
- 14:48Speaker 1: of like Superman, for example. So powerful you are now.
- 14:53Speaker 1: You can do anything you want to do. Be anything
- 14:57Speaker 1: you want to be. You are your own person. A beautiful,
- 15:03Speaker 1: amazing and very special person. And it's now that you
- 15:11Speaker 1: also notice that there is a beautiful white light surrounding
- 15:15Speaker 1: your whole body. And it's filling you with peace and happiness.
- 15:21Speaker 1: And it makes you smile and feel so strong and
- 15:24Speaker 1: so brave. And this light is called the universal energy.
- 15:31Speaker 1: And it connects all living creatures to each other. Human life.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Plant life. and all animal life too. It flows through everything,
- 15:44Speaker 1: and you are not alone. But now, it's time to
- 15:49Speaker 1: return to your day, remembering that you can listen to
- 15:54Speaker 1: this little meditation whenever you feel you need to, or
- 15:58Speaker 1: whenever you want to. But for now, it's time to
- 16:02Speaker 1: return to your day. So take a deep breath in,
- 16:06Speaker 1: and then slowly, Let it out. Again, deep breath in
- 16:16Speaker 1: and slowly let it out. One more time. Deep breath
- 16:24Speaker 1: in and slowly let it out. Now wriggle your fingers,
- 16:34Speaker 1: wriggle your toes. Give a big stretch if you want
- 16:38Speaker 1: to And then slowly and gently, open your eyes. And
- 16:45Speaker 1: just stay sitting still for a few moments. And just
- 16:49Speaker 1: maybe stretch your arms and your legs. And whenever you
- 16:55Speaker 1: are ready, slowly and gently, just get up and continue
- 17:01Speaker 1: with your day. Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Take a big deep breath in through your nose and
- 17:34Speaker 1: slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. Take another
- 17:42Speaker 1: deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe out through
- 17:49Speaker 1: your mouth. One last time Deep breath in and slowly
- 17:59Speaker 1: and gently breathe out through your mouth. Just feel the
- 18:06Speaker 1: gentle rhythm of your breath. Feel a steady beat of
- 18:10Speaker 1: your heart. Just take a moment to listen to your heartbeat.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest as
- 18:23Speaker 1: it moves in time. With your heartbeat. Can you feel it?
- 18:30Speaker 1: With each beat of your heart, you feel more and
- 18:34Speaker 1: more relaxed. More and more calm. More and more peaceful.
- 18:43Speaker 1: And every time you breathe in, you're breathing in deep relaxation.
- 18:49Speaker 1: And it's making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
- 18:55Speaker 1: But for now, just relax and surrender your body into
- 19:00Speaker 1: the safety of the furniture that's supporting you. So if
- 19:03Speaker 1: you're lying down or sitting in a chair, just feel
- 19:07Speaker 1: it and just surrender to it. Take a deep breath
- 19:12Speaker 1: in and slowly and gently let it go. Take another
- 19:21Speaker 1: deep breath in letting all of your breath right back
- 19:26Speaker 1: out again. One more time. Deep breath in, and slowly
- 19:35Speaker 1: and gently let it out, like a sigh. Now bring
- 19:45Speaker 1: your breathing back to its normal rhythm, keeping your eyes
- 19:50Speaker 1: closed and shutting out all of the distractions of your
- 19:54Speaker 1: daily life. Just for a little while. Just breathe. And
- 20:02Speaker 1: you can feel your body relaxing just a little bit
- 20:05Speaker 1: more with each breath you take. And you breathe in
- 20:11Speaker 1: pure relaxation. And you breathe out anything that may be
- 20:17Speaker 1: bothering you. Anything at all. So just breathe in gently
- 20:24Speaker 1: and breathe out slowly and relax. Feeling yourself becoming more
- 20:31Speaker 1: and more calm and more relaxed with each breath you take.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Now imagine yourself to be in your most favourite place
- 20:43Speaker 1: in nature. A place where you feel most at home.
- 20:48Speaker 1: A place that you love. A place that makes you
- 20:52Speaker 1: feel very happy whenever you are there. And now that
- 20:58Speaker 1: you are here in this beautiful, peaceful place, have a
- 21:02Speaker 1: little walk around, just for a bit, and just absorb
- 21:06Speaker 1: everything you see. The sounds of the birds in the distance.
- 21:12Speaker 1: The sweet smells of any flowers that may be there.
- 21:16Speaker 1: or the smell of the grass and the trees. Maybe
- 21:21Speaker 1: you can stoop down to pick a flower and carry
- 21:23Speaker 1: it with you. Or maybe you can find a shell
- 21:27Speaker 1: or a special stone and you can keep it just
- 21:31Speaker 1: because it feels nice and it feels special and because
- 21:36Speaker 1: it makes you feel very calm and peaceful. As you
- 21:43Speaker 1: are walking around this very.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Special place, You find yourself standing in front of a
- 21:49Speaker 3: lovely and inviting bench. You just pause for a moment
- 21:53Speaker 3: just to look at it. Notice what colour it is.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Notice what it's made of.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Is it a wooden bench or maybe it's a metal bench?
- 22:07Speaker 1: How big is your bench? You decide. It's your bench.
- 22:16Speaker 1: You realise now And you feel like you need a
- 22:19Speaker 1: little rest. So go ahead and sit yourself down right
- 22:24Speaker 1: in the middle of your bench. Which is there to
- 22:27Speaker 1: hold you and to support you on this little restful
- 22:31Speaker 1: journey just for a while. So as you sit there,
- 22:37Speaker 1: in the centre of your lovely bench, just focus on
- 22:41Speaker 1: your breath. Feel it as it flows in. And feel
- 22:49Speaker 1: as it gently flows out again. You are just resting
- 22:54Speaker 1: in your breath. Just resting in the peace and quiet
- 22:59Speaker 1: of the moment. And any thoughts that are floating in
- 23:05Speaker 1: your mind, just notice them. And accept them. And then
- 23:11Speaker 1: just watch them float away. Because you don't need them
- 23:15Speaker 1: right now. But you can thank each thought for coming
- 23:20Speaker 1: and then watch it float away as you rest in
- 23:24Speaker 1: the peaceful silence on your bench. Because sometimes thoughts are good,
- 23:30Speaker 1: but we don't need them right this minute. So just
- 23:35Speaker 1: for a few moments, sit and rest on your beautiful bench.
- 23:42Speaker 1: And just rest in the silence and just breathe. Thank you.

- 26:13Speaker 1: you are ready, have a big stretch, wriggle your fingers
- 26:18Speaker 1: and your toes, and then slowly and gently open your eyes.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Find yourself a nice, cozy place to sit and just
- 26:39Speaker 1: relax maybe you can lie down on your sofa or
- 26:45Speaker 1: sit in a nice comfy chair but close your eyes
- 26:53Speaker 1: take a deep breath in through your nose and slowly
- 26:59Speaker 1: and gently breathe out through your mouth again Deep breath in.

- 27:21Speaker 1: more time. Deep breath in. Breathing slowly and gently out
- 27:31Speaker 1: through your mouth. Now just relax. And let your breathing
- 27:38Speaker 1: come back to its normal rhythm. Imagine yourself surrounded by
- 27:47Speaker 1: a pure white light. A light so very bright and
- 27:51Speaker 1: so very pure. But it doesn't hurt to look at it.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Now imagine the whole room filled with this beautiful shining light.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Breathe in this healing energy of light. Breathe in its protection.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Really fill your lungs with deep breaths of pure white energy.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Let this light expand into your whole body, bringing with
- 28:28Speaker 1: it a deep sense of peace and happiness. Now gently,
- 28:39Speaker 1: just take a moment to become aware of your body.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Become aware of how you fill the space that is
- 28:48Speaker 1: surrounding your body. Just notice how your breath flows in
- 28:55Speaker 1: and then flows out again. Don't change your breathing in
- 29:00Speaker 1: any way. Just simply notice how your body breathes. Your
- 29:08Speaker 1: body knows how much air it needs. It's very clever
- 29:11Speaker 1: that way. It knows everything that your body needs. Now
- 29:19Speaker 1: in your mind's eye, see your breath flowing gently in
- 29:26Speaker 1: and out of your body. It's kind of like you're
- 29:31Speaker 1: watching a TV screen, but with you in the lead part.
- 29:38Speaker 1: And if you find other thoughts creeping in and wanting
- 29:42Speaker 1: to be heard, just focus back again on your breathing.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Just simply let any of those thoughts pass on by.
- 29:55Speaker 1: And notice how your breath just continues to flow. Notice
- 30:03Speaker 1: how it feels as it enters your nostrils. Breathe in
- 30:11Speaker 1: deeply and calmly. Breathe out slowly and gently. Feel the
- 30:23Speaker 1: air entering your nostrils. Feel how cool it is. How
