  go of all the stuff that you usually carry around
• 2:56
  with you. Just let it all go and just be
• 3:00
  the wonderful, amazing you. Now imagine a beautiful special rainbow
• 3:10
  floating just above your head, and you can see the
• 3:14
  purples and the blues. You can see the greens and
• 3:18
  the yellows, the oranges and the reds, and maybe you
• 3:23
  can even see some gold and silver too. See how
• 3:27
  it shines so brightly. See the beautiful colors, and it's
• 3:34
  like the colors are alive.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: That's because they are.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Can you see them? Each time you breathe out, this
• 3:49
  beautiful rainbow grows larger and larger, and it starts to
• 3:56
  gently wash over you, help you to relax, and you
• 4:01
  can actually feel the colors washing over your body. Can
• 4:06
  you feel it? Can you feel how warm it is?
• 4:11
  How it makes your skin tingle just a little bit
• 4:17
  everywhere the colors touched you. You feel yourself relaxing deeper
• 4:22
  and deeper, and you feel so peaceful, so calm.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And so very relaxed.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: As you breathe in this beautiful rainbow light makes you
• 4:38
  feel so safe and protected, and you feel so loved.
• 4:44
  That's because you are safe, You are loved, and you
• 4:50
  are protected. Always in front of you is a flower
• 5:01
  filled with daffodils, all different shades of yellow, and all
• 5:06
  shimmering in the sunlight. And you watch as they raise
• 5:11
  their heads up to the sunlight, drawing all that they need,
• 5:18
  all of it from the sun, the warmth to grow
• 5:22
  and to stretch themselves, the light to raise themselves higher still,
• 5:28
  and they are surrounded by the light, just as you are.
• 5:35
  The yellow white rays of the sun lifts you up too,
• 5:40
  and you can feel your spirits rising. You can feel
• 5:45
  the inspiring rays of the sun shining down on your body,
• 5:50
  and you can feel the joy beginning to enter your heart,
• 5:55
  and you feel.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Ever so happy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You see many other different types of flowers, all swaying
• 6:04
  gently in the cool, calm breeze, all lifting their heads
• 6:09
  towards the sunlight, just like you, and you realize you
• 6:17
  can hear running water, so you stand up to see
• 6:22
  where it's coming from, and you walk along the gravel
• 6:27
  pathway towards the sound and as you draw closer to it,
• 6:32
  you see before you a wonderful shallow stream, and the
• 6:38
  water was so clear and so inviting. You could even
• 6:42
  see tiny colorful fish as they swim on by. And
• 6:49
  there are rocks in the stream of yours, and the
• 6:53
  sound you heard as the water flowing around and over them.
• 7:01
  The sun is shining on the water, and it looks
• 7:04
  like a thousand stars of bouncing all over it, and
• 7:08
  it's so beautiful. And you decide to sit down on
• 7:14
  the bank by the stream for just a while, just
• 7:18
  to relax and just drift with your thoughts. And you
• 7:23
  gaze into the water, feeling so peaceful, so calm, so relaxed.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It's lovely.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: As you sit there, each thought that you have, just
• 7:42
  let it go, place it into the water and watch
• 7:47
  it as it washes away. And you watch as the
• 7:51
  thought just gently sails off into the distance, bouncing along
• 7:57
  the ripples of the water until it out of sight.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: It's quite funny to watch.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Really. When you have another thought, just do the same
• 8:08
  thing again and watch it as it sails off into
• 8:12
  the distance.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And why you've been.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Sitting here just thinking your little thoughts, You suddenly notice
• 8:22
  sitting beside you is a little brown dug He has
• 8:27
  his eyes closed, and you notice his lovely shiny brown feathers.
• 8:34
  You can even see some water drops on his folded wings.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: And you wonder what he's doing.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: He opens his little brown eyes and looks at you,
• 8:49
  and he tells you that his name is Marvin, and
• 8:52
  that he comes here every day at the same time,
• 8:57
  just to meditate by the stream. He says he likes
• 9:01
  to think of all the things he is grateful for
• 9:03
  in his life, and he likes to say thank you
• 9:07
  out loud because it makes him feel really, really good.
• 9:14
  He asks you what you would like to join him
• 9:16
  and be grateful with him. Well, you say yes, but
• 9:22
  you're not really sure what you have to do, So
• 9:26
  Marvin explains. Marvin tells you that all you have to
• 9:32
  do is think of all the things.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: You are grateful for, things like your parents, your friends,
• 9:40
  your pets, the ice cream that you ate last week,
• 9:44
  your lovely soft bed, your new school bag to carry
• 9:48
  your books, anything at all that you love and you
• 9:52
  are grateful for.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: You get the idea. So you sit with Marvin and
• 10:00
  your eyes and in your mind spend a few moments
• 10:05
  thinking of all the things you're grateful for.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: All of the good.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Things in your life, all of the things that make
• 10:15
  you happy. So just sit there with Marvin for just
• 10:20
  a moment. As now Marvin opens his eyes and you
• 12:07
  do too. Marvin says, now it's time to say thank
• 12:12
  you for all the good things in your life. So
• 12:17
  the two of you say as loud as you can,
• 12:20
  thank you, thank you, thank you. Doesn't that feel good,
• 12:26
  especially when you say it really loudly. How do you
• 12:30
  feel right now? Can you feel the.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Big smile on your face?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Can you feel your heart all filled up with love
• 12:40
  and gratitude? Marvin smiles at you and tells you that
• 12:48
  you did very well for your first time. He's an
• 12:52
  expertcy he does it all the time. But it's now
• 12:56
  time for Marvin to go. He says his goodbyes and
• 13:01
  waddles off into the stream.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: You ask him where he's going.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: He says he's going home now, but first he wants
• 13:10
  to have a little swim, so he says goodbye again
• 13:15
  and swims off into the distance, quacking away happily as
• 13:19
  he goes. You think he's very mysterious, this Marvin, very
• 13:25
  very nice, but very mysterious. You don't know anything about
• 13:29
  him at all, but you do like him. What a
• 13:34
  lovely little mystic ducky is. You won't ever forget Marvin
• 13:38
  Hell you he Now put your feet into the water
• 13:46
  and feel the cool, refreshing flow of it running gently
• 13:50
  over them, and it feels so wonderful, so refreshing and revitalizing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And you look around.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You feel so free here, so relaxed, and it feels
• 14:04
  so wonderful just to sit with your feet in the cool,
• 14:08
  calm water, listening to the sounds of nature, just you,
• 14:15
  the water and nature, and you feel so very grateful
• 14:21
  just to be here. So sit for just a moment
• 14:28
  and just listen. Listen to the sounds of the crystal
• 14:34
  clear calming water as it soothes your very soul. Listen
• 14:41
  to the sounds of the crystal clear calming water as
• 14:46
  it makes your soul sink with happiness. Now you realize
• 15:02
  now you are back in your very own bed, feeling
• 15:07
  all warm and snuggling, and it's time for you to
• 15:13
  sleep now, as your eyes are becoming very heavy and
• 15:18
  your body is beginning to go all.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Soft with sleepiness.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: So you settle down and pull the quilt or blanket
• 15:28
  up over your shoulders and take a big, deep breath
• 15:33
  in through your nose and then slowly and gently breathe
• 15:40
  out through your mouth, and you feel so happy you
• 15:45
  met Marvin today, so blessed, so grateful, that you take
• 15:52
  another deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe out
• 16:03
  one last time, deep breath in, and slowly and gently
• 16:10
  breathe out, And just as the wave of sleepiness is
• 16:19
  coming all over your body, you see once again Marvin's
• 16:23
  happy little face, lovely Marvin, Marvin, the Mystic Duck, and
• 16:32

• 16:38
  and drift gently into the best night sleep ever. Bas
