00:00:28
Speaker 1: It's another short and sweet wind own meditation for sleep
00:00:32
Speaker 1: that doesn't have to be used at bedtime. Nope. You
00:00:35
Speaker 1: can use it whenever you're feeling like you want a nap,
00:00:38
Speaker 1: maybe in the afternoon after a busy day at school,
00:00:42
Speaker 1: or just when you need an extra moment of rest.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: Get yourself settled in a quiet space where you won't
00:00:49
Speaker 1: be disturbed and enjoy an afternoon nap by our meditation
00:00:54
Speaker 1: expert hypnotherapist Kareina Price. Let's begin. It's time to take
00:01:09
Speaker 1: a pause to help you to settle down and relax.
00:01:14
Speaker 1: So let's take a moment to find a comfortable place
00:01:18
Speaker 1: to lie down, close your eyes and take a deep
00:01:24
Speaker 1: breath in, hold it for a moment, and then exhale slowly.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: Let's do that a few more times together. Take a
00:01:34
Speaker 1: deep breath, in, hold it for a moment, and then
00:01:40
Speaker 1: exhale slowly. Good. One more time, Take a deep breath, in,
00:01:47
Speaker 1: hold it for a moment, and then exhale slowly. As
00:01:55
Speaker 1: you continue to breathe deeply, imagine your favorite color. Think
00:02:00
Speaker 1: of this color as a warm, soothing blanket that is
00:02:04
Speaker 1: wrapping around you. Allow this color to fill your body
00:02:10
Speaker 1: with a sense of peace and calm. Picture yourself floating
00:02:17
Speaker 1: on a cloud of this color, gently relaxing you more
00:02:23
Speaker 1: and more. A relaxing cloud is gently carrying you on
00:02:30
Speaker 1: a sleepy journey. As you relax, let your body feel
00:02:35
Speaker 1: light and at ease, just like the cloud beneath you.
00:02:41
Speaker 1: As you continue to breathe deeply, allow your thoughts to
00:02:46
Speaker 1: come and go. As you're relaxing on this sleepy cloud,
00:02:51
Speaker 1: I wonder if your favorite toy or teddy is with you.
00:02:56
Speaker 1: This special companion can help you feel even more safe
00:02:59
Speaker 1: and secure as you drift on this soft, sleepy cloud.
00:03:05
Speaker 1: Imagine that your toy is there with you, comforting you
00:03:08
Speaker 1: as you rest. Now, imagine that you're floating high up
00:03:15
Speaker 1: in the sky, surrounded by the warm glow of the sun.
00:03:21
Speaker 1: The sky is a beautiful shade of blue, and you
00:03:25
Speaker 1: feel safe and peaceful on your magical cloud. As your
00:03:31
Speaker 1: cloud begins to move, it takes you on a gentle,
00:03:35
Speaker 1: sleepy journey. You can feel the cool breeze softly brushing
00:03:40
Speaker 1: against your skin as your cloud glides through the sky.
00:03:46
Speaker 1: Notice how the cloud moves so smoothly, almost like a
00:03:51
Speaker 1: gentle lullaby. As you continue on your journey, you look
00:03:58
Speaker 1: down and see fluffy sheep jumping over a fence in
00:04:02
Speaker 1: a green meadow. With each sheep that leaps over the fence,
00:04:08
Speaker 1: you feel more and more relaxed. Their gentle movements than
00:04:12
Speaker 1: the peacefulness of the meadow fill your heart with calmness.
00:04:19
Speaker 1: Now your cloud floats over a calm, glistening lake. The
00:04:25
Speaker 1: water sparkles as the sun's rays dance upon it. Take
00:04:31
Speaker 1: a moment to listen to the soothing sounds of the
00:04:34
Speaker 1: water gently lapping against the shore. The peacefulness of the
00:04:41
Speaker 1: lake washes over you, making you feel even more calm
00:04:47
Speaker 1: and sleepy. As your cloud moves forward, it carries you
00:04:54
Speaker 1: towards a beautiful forest. Trees sway gently in the breeze,
00:05:01
Speaker 1: and you can hear the leaves rustling. A moment to
00:05:07
Speaker 1: listen to the relaxing sounds of nature as you float by.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: It's as if the trees are whispering a lullaby, sending
00:05:18
Speaker 1: you off to a deep, RESTful sleep, feeling calm and relaxed. Now, finally,
00:05:29
Speaker 1: your cloud begins to descend, bringing you back down towards
00:05:34
Speaker 1: the earth. As you get closer to the ground, you
00:05:38
Speaker 1: can feel your body becoming more grounded and relaxed. Remember,
00:05:45
Speaker 1: whenever you need a moment of calm and relaxation, you
00:05:49
Speaker 1: can always come back to your floating cloud. It will
00:05:53
Speaker 1: be there to carry you on another sleepy journey whenever
00:05:57
Speaker 1: you need it. Now, imagine that you are in a
00:06:02
Speaker 1: safe and comfortable place. This could be a cozy bedroom,
00:06:06
Speaker 1: a sunny meadow, or any other place that makes you
00:06:10
Speaker 1: feel loved and relaxed. As you rest in this place,
00:06:16
Speaker 1: allow yourself to feel a sense of calmness and tranquility.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: Imagine that you are surrounded by love and kindness. You
00:06:27
Speaker 1: are safe and protected in this special place. As you
00:06:33
Speaker 1: continue to breathe deeply, your eyes might start to relax,
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Feeling heavier and heavier. You might want to let yourself
00:06:44
Speaker 1: drift off to sleep, or you might prefer to resist
00:06:48
Speaker 1: going to sleep. Now the choice is yours. Allow your
00:06:54
Speaker 1: mind and body to completely relax. Feel your mus becoming
00:07:01
Speaker 1: loose and limp. Imagine that your body is a puddle
00:07:06
Speaker 1: of warm, soft jelly. You're so relaxed and comfortable that
00:07:13
Speaker 1: you can't help but feel sleepy. You're doing such a
00:07:18
Speaker 1: good job at relaxing. You're taking care of yourself by
00:07:23
Speaker 1: giving your body the rest it needs. You're allowing yourself
00:07:28
Speaker 1: to feel calm and peaceful simply by taking a moment
00:07:33
Speaker 1: to listen to this special meditation that was created especially
00:07:37
Speaker 1: for you. Now, let's focus on your breathing. As you inhale,
00:07:46
Speaker 1: imagine that you're breathing in a cool, refreshing breeze. As
00:07:52
Speaker 1: you exhale, imagine that you're letting go of any tension
00:07:56
Speaker 1: or stress in your body. Continue to breathe deeply and calmly,
00:08:03
Speaker 1: feeling more and more relaxed with each easy breath. Picture
00:08:11
Speaker 1: yourself snuggled up in your cozy blankets, feeling warm and safe.
00:08:21
Speaker 1: Your body is relaxed, your mind is peaceful, and you
00:08:28
Speaker 1: are ready to drift off to sleep. You're doing such
00:08:34
Speaker 1: a good job at relaxing. Even if you find yourself
00:08:37
Speaker 1: whiggling around from time to time, that's okay. Well, perhaps
00:08:42
Speaker 1: your mind might wonder thinking about other things. That's okay.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: There's a special part of your mind that knows exactly
00:08:52
Speaker 1: how to help you to relax. You are doing such
00:08:57
Speaker 1: a good job of relaxing and letting go of any worries.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: You may find that you are feeling very sleepy. Now,
00:09:07
Speaker 1: that's okay. It's normal to feel a little tired during
00:09:11
Speaker 1: our meditation. I wonder if you will stay awake or
00:09:18
Speaker 1: fall asleep during this meditation. Either way, you're doing a
00:09:23
Speaker 1: great job. If you do happen to drift off to sleep,
00:09:29
Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine. You are giving your body and mind
00:09:34
Speaker 1: the rest they need. You are loved and cherished. You
00:09:43
Speaker 1: are doing such a good job of taking care of yourself.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Remember that this is your special time to rest and recharge.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Allow yourself to feel sleepy and be knowing that you
00:10:02
Speaker 1: are safe and loved. As you continue to breathe deeply,
00:10:12
Speaker 1: imagine that your body is becoming heavier and heavier. You
00:10:18
Speaker 1: are sinking deeper and deeper into a wonderful feeling of relaxation.
00:10:27
Speaker 1: Your mind is calm and peaceful. You feel safe and loved. Now,
00:10:38
Speaker 1: imagine that you are floating on a gentle breeze, like
00:10:43
Speaker 1: a leaf falling from a tree. You're gliding effortlessly through
00:10:49
Speaker 1: the air, feeling weightless. And carefree. Allow yourself to enjoy
00:10:59
Speaker 1: this feeling freedom and lightness, feeling calm and peaceful, snuggled
00:11:09
Speaker 1: up with your favorite toy or teddy, feeling safe and loved.
00:11:17
Speaker 1: You are amazing, as no
