Transcript
Welcome little one,
You are in a safe,
Peaceful place now and I want you to take a moment to settle in,
Finding a comfortable spot where you can relax completely.
Maybe you're lying down,
All snuggled up under your blankets,
Or sitting in a cozy chair,
Wherever you are,
Just make sure you're as comfortable as possible.
Close your eyes,
Gently letting them relax,
And take a deep breath in,
And slowly breathe out.
Let your body soften with each breath,
Feeling the tension melt away like warm butter on toast.
You don't need to worry about anything right now,
Everything is just as it should be.
Imagine you are about to begin a beautiful journey,
One filled with peace and wonder.
In your mind's eye,
Picture yourself standing in a soft,
Sandy beach.
The ground beneath you is warm and comforting,
The kind of sand that feels just right on your bare feet.
As you look around,
The sky is a gentle mix of pinks,
Purples,
And soft blues,
As the sun begins to set,
Casting golden light across the water.
You can hear the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore,
Each wave bringing calm and comfort to your heart.
Now,
As you gaze out at the calm ocean before you,
Something magical begins to happen.
You see a figure in the water there,
Just beneath the surface,
A mermaid.
Her tail glistens in the light,
Shimmering with shades of turquoise and silvers.
Her long,
Flowing hair drifts in the water like soft seaweed.
She moves so gracefully,
With a kind and welcoming smile,
As if inviting you into her world.
She waves to you,
Her voice soft and sweet,
As she calls out,
Come closer,
Dear one.
I will show you the wonders of the deep sea.
You will be able to breathe underwater with me,
And together we will explore the peaceful and magical world beneath the waves.
You feel a sense of calm and trust,
Knowing that everything is safe and peaceful.
The mermaid holds out her hand,
And without hesitation,
You step forward,
Reaching for her hand.
The moment your hand touches her,
You feel a gentle wave of warmth and comfort that washes over you.
You realize that you can now breathe,
Just as she does,
Underwater,
And there is no need to worry.
You take a deep,
Slow breath in,
And out,
Feeling the fresh,
Clean air fill your lungs.
It feels as easy as breathing on land,
But so much more peaceful,
Like you've been a part of the water itself.
The mermaid smiles and dives gracefully into the water,
And you follow her,
Feeling the cool,
Refreshing water surround your body like a soft embrace.
You move deeper into the ocean.
You notice how incredibly calm and peaceful everything is.
The water is crystal clear,
And tiny bubbles float gently upwards.
You look around and see the world beneath the surface,
Full of soft colors and life.
The water shimmers in shades of blue and green,
And the sunlight from above filters through,
Creating beams of soft light that dance around you.
You swim alongside the mermaid,
Feeling weightless and free.
You notice fish swimming gracefully in all directions,
Their scales sparkling in the sunlight.
Some are bright gold,
And others are deep blue.
Some are shimmering with every color of the rainbow.
They swirl and dance,
Creating a beautiful,
Peaceful pattern in the water.
You watch them for a moment,
Feeling completely relaxed,
As they move around you like a gentle current.
The mermaid gently guides you deeper,
And you come to a magnificent coral reef.
The reef is like a beautiful city under the sea,
Full of intricate shapes and colors.
The coral is a mix of purple,
Pink,
Orange,
And gold,
And a tiny sea creature darts in and out of the coral,
Making it seem like the whole reef is alive.
Sea amones sway gently with the current,
Their soft tentacles moving slowly,
Like the most delicate flowers in the garden.
The mermaid moves gracefully through the reef,
Leading you onward,
And you follow her,
Feeling calm and happy.
As you swim,
The water around you becomes even more peaceful.
The soft,
Gentle current rocks you ever so softly,
And slightly,
Like a cradle in the sea.
You begin to feel your body relax even more deeply.
You feel light and peaceful,
And completely at ease in the embrace of the water.
The mermaid then motions for you to follow her to a secret part of the ocean,
Where the water is even more calm,
And the lights from the surface shine more brightly.
As you swim along,
You spot something wonderful in the distance,
A group of dolphins,
Playfully leaping and twirling through the water.
Their bodies glisten as they rise and dive,
Their movements graceful and joyful.
They invite you to join them,
And you do,
Feeling the joy of their playful energy.
The dolphins spin and jump,
Sending little waves through the water.
You feel your heart fill with happiness as you swim alongside them,
Their laughter like soft music in the water.
The dolphins lead you toward the glowing underwater cave,
Hidden deep beneath the ocean.
As you approach this cave,
You notice that the walls are lined with soft,
Shimmering lights,
Almost like stars in the sky,
Glowing in shades of gold,
Soft white,
And lavender.
The air inside this cave is warm and comforting,
Like a hug,
And you know you are completely safe here.
As you enter the cave,
And the mermaid leads you to a soft bed of seaweed,
It feels like the softest cushion beneath you,
And you lie down,
Letting the seaweed wrap gently around you,
Supporting your body.
The water is so still and quiet,
The only sound is the movement of the waves outside and the gentle rhythm of your breathing.
The mermaid sits beside you,
Her presence calm and loving.
She looks at you with a smile and whispers,
Now you are safe and at peace.
Let the ocean cradle you and bring you comfort,
Let go of everything and just feel the stillness of the sea.
You feel your body grow heavier,
Sinking into the soft bed of seaweed.
With each gentle breath,
Your body relaxes even more,
Like the soft waves caressing the shore.
You feel your arms,
Legs,
And chest grow heavier,
Sinking deeper into relaxation.
Your mind is calm,
Peaceful,
And free from thoughts.
You feel weightlessness,
Floating gently in the water,
Surrounded by love and light.
As you rest,
You begin to notice that the world outside the cave is fading into a soft,
Peaceful silence.
The ocean seems to be singing a lullaby,
And you allow yourself to drift deeper and deeper into rest.
In a moment,
I will count down from 10 to 1,
And with each number,
You will feel even more relaxed.
With each number,
You will sink deeper into this peaceful place,
Allowing your body to rest,
Your mind to quiet,
And your heart to feel at ease.
You are safe here,
And there is no need to worry about anything.
All is well.
You feel your body growing heavier,
Sinking into a seaweed bed.
