  Speaker 1: Snuggle down, close your eyes and make yourself comfortable. Take
• 0:31
  a deep breath in through your nose and slowly and
• 0:35
  gently reade out through your mouth. Again, take a deep
• 0:44
  breath in through your nose and slowly and gently breathe
• 0:51
  out through your mouth. One last time, deep breath in
• 0:58
  through your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through
• 1:05
  your mouth. Just bring your breathing back to its normal rhythm.
• 1:12
  Feeling your chest rise and fall gently, and you're feeling
• 1:18
  all warm and safe, and you feel so peaceful now,
• 1:22
  so relaxed, and you feel very happy and very.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Light, and your.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Breathing is almost still. You're so relaxed, and with each
• 1:36
  breath you take, you feel calmer and more peaceful. And
• 1:41
  that's because you're breathing in pure peacefulness, and you're breathing
• 1:47
  out all of the negative thoughts that you've been cannying
• 1:51
  around with you, that you don't need any more. So
• 1:57
  take another deep breath.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: In pure peacefulness, and then breathe out, breathing out all.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The negative thoughts, all the things you don't need anymore.
• 2:14
  One more time.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Breathe in, breathing in pure peacefulness.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And breathe out breathe out all the stuff you no
• 2:26
  longer need, and now you're feeling very calm, very peaceful,
• 2:35
  and very relaxed. Now imagine yourself completely surrounded by a
• 2:44
  beautiful golden light, and this golden light surrounds your whole body.
• 2:52
  It's above your head, it's beneath your feet, it's everywhere,
• 2:58
  and this golden light makes you feel all warm, tingly,
• 3:03
  very safe. And again you feel so peaceful, so calm,
• 3:10
  and so relaxed. But always remember you are safe, you
• 3:17
  are loved, and you are protected always. Now imagine yourself
• 3:26
  sitting in a large, beautiful garden with an old brick
• 3:30
  wall completely surrounding it, and the bottom of the woods
• 3:37
  are all filled with the most amazing flowers, flowers of
• 3:41
  every description and every color you can think of, and
• 3:46
  the scent from these flowers is just amazing and it
• 3:50
  makes you feel so alive and so very happy. There
• 3:55
  is also a beautiful lawn all around you, and you
• 3:59
  can see the early morning dew glistening on the grass.
• 4:06
  You look down and you see that you are standing
• 4:08
  on a gravel path, and as you walk along it,
• 4:13
  it crunches under your feet. Can you hear the sound
• 4:17
  of it crunching.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I can.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You feel a gentle breeze on your face as you
• 4:25
  walk along the path, and you feel the warmth of
• 4:29
  the sun all over your body, and it makes you
• 4:32
  feel so peaceful, so wonderful in fact. So you walk
• 4:41
  on the path to the very back of the garden
• 4:44
  and come to yet another old brick wall, Only this
• 4:47
  one is covered in beautiful roses, roses in all the
• 4:53
  colors of a rainbow, and they too glisten with the
• 4:58
  dew in the morning sunshine, and they twinkle just like
• 5:03
  the stars do at nighttime. Now in the middle of
• 5:08
  this wall is an archway, a very old archway, and
• 5:15
  you wonder where of leads. So you take a little
• 5:19
  peek through the arch. You can't really see anything. It
• 5:23
  just looks well, kind of misty, really, kind of like
• 5:27
  soft clouds are floating past. You feel really quite excited
• 5:33
  and you really want to know what's on the other
• 5:35
  side of the archway. So you become very brave and
• 5:40
  decide to go through it. Step through the arch into
• 5:46
  the mist, and it feels quite cool on your skin,
• 5:50
  but you keep going. After all, it only clouds. The
• 5:55
  cloud slowly begins to part, and what you see the
• 6:00
  next utterly amazes you. You have come out the other
• 6:04
  side of the archway into another world. How fantastic is that?
• 6:11
  You see stretched out before you a wonderful meadow, and
• 6:16
  at the end of that meadow there is a beautiful,
• 6:19
  green and lush forest stretching for miles and miles. You
• 6:25
  can even see the mountaintops in the distance, and they
• 6:30
  are so high that they have snow on the top
• 6:33
  of them, and they look as if someone has just
• 6:36
  sprinkled them with angel dust. Beautiful white, feathery angel dust.
• 6:43
  How pretty is that? And off in the distance you
• 6:48
  can hear the sound of tumbling water, and you wonder
• 6:52
  where it's coming from. Maybe it's a waterfall, sure sounds
• 6:57
  like one. As you look around you you see something
• 7:02
  moving in the distance, and you see it's coming towards you,
• 7:07
  and it looks well, kind of hairy. Well, actually, it
• 7:11
  looks like a very wooly coat. Really, what on earth
• 7:16
  could it be? As it gets closer to you, you
• 7:21
  realize that it kind of looks like a very hairy elephant.
• 7:26
  But as it gets even closer, you realize that it's
• 7:30
  not an elephant at all. It's a very big wooly mammoth,
• 7:37
  a very big wooly mammoth with a big silly grin
• 7:40
  on his face and a very big blue floppy hat
• 7:43
  on his head.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: How funny.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The mammoth stops in front of you and says, hello, Well,
• 7:52
  you are just flabbergastic.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Not only is it a big wooly mammoth with a
• 7:58
  very big blue floppy hat head, it can talk too.
• 8:04
  Oh my. The big wooly mammoth tells you his name
• 8:10
  is Frank, and he asks you what your name is,
• 8:15
  so you tell him. He asks you if he can
• 8:18
  sit down next to you on the grass. Do you think, well, okay,
• 8:22
  why not? So the two of you sit on the grass,
• 8:28
  and the ground shakes a bit when he sits down
• 8:31
  because he is so very big and so very very heavy,
• 8:35
  and you're really hoping that he doesn't squash you when
• 8:37
  he sits But he is very careful and he doesn't
• 8:43
  squash you at all. In fact, is very gentle. Frank
• 8:49
  tells you he is very glad to meet you, and
• 8:52
  he begins to tell you all about himself. He tells
• 8:56
  you that he lives with the rest of his head
• 8:59
  and they had just the end of the meadow behind
• 9:01
  those trees are bad. He tells you he has a
• 9:05
  mum and a dad and they are called Mabel and Benny.
• 9:11
  He tells you he has three brothers and three sisters
• 9:16
  and they are all older than he is. He is
• 9:19
  the baby of the family and really they all spoil him,
• 9:23
  which he loves. He tells you that he goes to
• 9:28
  Mammoth School with his friends and they love it there.
• 9:31
  They get to learn all sorts of things. Everything they
• 9:36
  wanted to know they can learn there. They love it
• 9:39
  so much they even get to go on days out
• 9:42
  to see what other animals live in their world. Frank
• 9:46
  really likes school, he also tells you, and he loves
• 9:51
  to play football with his friends too. In fact, it's
• 9:54
  his favorite thing of all time, playing football. Frank asks
• 10:02
  you if you would like a ride on his back.
• 10:06
  You're very happy about this and you say, oh, yes please.
• 10:12
  He picks you up with his very long trunk and
• 10:15
  gently places you on his back behind the big blue
• 10:18
  floppy hat. He tells you to hold on tight and
• 10:22
  then begins to stand up. Ooh, it's a bit wobbly,
• 10:27
  but it's okay because you're holding on tightly. Frank completely
• 10:32
  stands up and you realize you are very high up now,
• 10:37
  and he starts to walk with his big, lumbering legs,
• 10:41
  and it really is quite wobbly up on his back,
• 10:44
  and you're bouncing around a lot, but it's so much fun.
• 10:47
  You start laughing, so does Frank. Because you are so
• 10:52
  high up on Frank's back, you can feel a gentle
• 10:56
  breeze on your face. You can feel it rappling through
• 11:00
  your clothes, just gently and making them flap a bit.
• 11:05
  Can you feel it? Can you feel the cool breeze?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: And no, I can.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So you go for a walk with your new friend Frank.
• 11:19
  What can you see up from the top of his back?
• 11:23
  Can you see the hills and the mountains in the distance.
• 11:27
  Can you see all the beautiful trees in the many
• 11:29
  different colors, so many greens. There's even a few reds
• 11:34
  in there too. So for a few moments, spend some
• 11:39
  time going for a walk with Frank. Have a good
• 11:43
  look around and just see what else may be there.
• 11:48
  See if there's any other animals there, maybe animals that
• 11:51
  you've never heard of before, were never seen before. Maybe
• 11:56
  Frank will take you to meet his family and his friends.
• 12:00
  Maybe he will show you his school. Maybe you can
• 12:05
  even play a game of football with Frank and his friends,
• 12:09
  And wouldn't that be fun? So for a few moments,
• 12:13
  just go and have some fun with Frank, Go and
• 12:16
  meet his friends and his family, go and see his school.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Mus from the pas.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Wow, now that was fun, wasn't it. But now it's
• 15:17
  time for you to return to your very own home
• 15:21
  and your very own bed. So Frank places you gently
• 15:26
  back down on the ground, and you say your goodbyes,
• 15:31
  and you tell him that you would love to come
• 15:33
  back again. Frank says that would be very nice, indeed,
• 15:37
  and that maybe next time you can have a sleepover
• 15:40
  with him and his friends. And you are thrilled with
• 15:43
  this idea and said you definitely will. You would love
• 15:47
  to do that. You wave goodbye to Frank and begin
• 15:54
  to walk home, when suddenly you realize, wow, you're already
• 16:01
  back in your very own bed. Wow, what a lovely
• 16:08
  time you had with Frank, very gentle kind and loving,
• 16:14
  great big, wooly hairy mammoth. And you smile to yourself,
• 16:20
  just remembering the day you've had, meeting his friends and
• 16:24
  his family, seeing his school, just having a wonderful time
• 16:31
  just being with Frank is so kind and so nice.
• 16:37
  But your eyes are feeling very sleepy, now, very heavy, indeed,
• 16:43
  and you begin to drift into a deep, most wonderful
• 16:49
  night sleep. So turn over on your side and snuggle
• 16:56
  down in your very own bed, feeling so safe, so protected,
• 17:02
  and so very loved. And when you wake up in
• 17:07
  the morning, you will feel completely refreshed, very bright and
• 17:13
  a late and ready to begin the new day ahead.
• 17:19
  And each night from now on you will sleep better
• 17:24
  and better, deeper and deeper. But for now, just rest
• 17:32
  your weary head.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: And just sleep night.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Night, as the plays.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: U M.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: M M says from the plays
• 24:01
