Good evening,
Little ocean souls.
It's me,
Summer,
Your meditation storyteller friend.
From my home to yours,
I send lots of love.
And it seems as though it is just about time to fall asleep.
Also with you and always with you are your guardian angels,
Your spirit guides,
And your animal spirit guides.
You will never fall asleep alone or be alone.
Tonight we are going to listen to a story written from my daughter,
Brisa.
It is about a magical mermaid family who visits the human world to learn what life on land is like.
Once upon a time,
Deep beneath the sparkling ocean waves,
There lived many friendly mermaids in a beautiful underwater kingdom.
Their ocean palace was decorated with shiny shells and pearls in soft golden sand that covered the floors.
Gentle seaweed danced in the water,
Colorful orchids grew nearby,
And the whole kingdom smelled like the sea right after it rained.
There was a kind queen mermaid and a brave king merman.
They had two children,
A playful princess and a funny prince who were loving,
Curious,
And sometimes just a little bit sassy.
The queen loved doing everyone's nails in her underwater nail salon.
She painted them ocean blue and seaweed green,
And everyone loved them and laughed together.
Who knew the kind queen mermaid knew how to do nails?
Even though the mermaids loved the ocean,
They often wondered what life was like above the sea.
What do trees look like,
The princess asked.
What does grass feel like,
Wondered the prince.
One day,
A sweet old mermaid named Floral came to visit.
Floral was a wise and magical mermaid.
She gave the royal family a glowing ocean potion that would let them walk on land and speak like humans for one whole day.
With excitement in their hearts,
The mermaids swam to the surface.
Just as the sun was beginning to rise,
When they reached the beach,
They saw you,
Yes you,
The little ocean soul who's listening.
They saw you and your family building sandcastles near the waves.
Your family smiled kindly and welcomed the mermaids right away.
You showed them seashells,
Beach toys,
And soft warm sand between your toes.
The mermaids giggled as the waves splashed around them.
They had never felt sunshine on their skin before.
It felt warm and like a kiss from the sun.
Soon,
Your family invited the mermaids to visit your home.
As you walked inside together,
Your family showed the mermaids around the house.
You showed them the kitchen where meals were made,
Cozy bedrooms with blankets and pillows,
Shelves filled with books and toys,
And family pictures hanging on the walls.
Your family told the mermaids,
This is where we laugh together.
This is where we eat pancakes in the morning,
And for dinner sometimes too.
This is where we rest and feel safe.
This is our home.
The mermaids listened carefully with wide,
Sparkling eyes.
They loved learning how humans cared for one another,
With hugs,
Bedtime stories,
Warm food,
Kindness,
And air.
The princess mermaid especially loved hearing about bedtime routines.
She couldn't believe that you guys listened to bedtime stories and meditations.
They didn't have such a thing in their underwater kingdom.
While the prince thought that refrigerators and TVs were the funniest inventions ever.
As the sky slowly turned pink and orange,
Floral gently reminded everyone that sunset was near,
And it was almost time for the mermaids to return home beneath the sea.
Your family walked the mermaids back to the shore.
The ocean waves glowed golden in the sunset light.
Before leaving,
The queen mermaid smiled warmly and said,
Thank you for showing us your beautiful home and your loving family.
Then the mermaids invited your family into the underwater kingdom for one magical visit.
Together,
You swam through the glowing blue water into the shell palace beneath the sea.
Then the mermaids showed your family the ocean gardens,
Pearl rooms,
The baby sea turtles,
And the glowing fish that shimmered like stars.
Everyone laughed,
Explored,
Danced,
And shared stories together until the moon rose high into the night sky.
Soon,
It was time for everyone to return home and rest.
Yes,
It's getting close to bedtime.
Your family hugged the mermaids goodbye and swam gently back to the shore.
Safe in your cozy home and tucked into bed,
You remembered the magical underwater kingdom and the kind mermaid family beneath the sea.
And as you drifted off to sleep,
You knew that somewhere deep beneath the waves,
Your mermaid friends were thinking of you too.
Now,
Little ocean soul,
It is time for your body to rest,
Your mind to become calm,
And your heart to feel peaceful.
As you slowly drift towards sleep,
Let these loving thoughts float gently into your heart like tiny glowing seashells in the sea.
I am safe,
Loved,
And welcome.
My home is filled with love and kindness.
I can make new friends wherever I go.
It is safe to be curious about the world around me.
I belong on the earth and by the sea.
My family and I are connected by love always.
I can learn new things with excitement and courage.
I carry kindness everywhere I go.
My imagination is magical and important.
I am surrounded by caring hearts.
I can explore while still feeling safe.
The ocean,
The earth,
And nature are my friends.
I am gentle,
Loving,
And special just as I am.
I can share my world with others.
I deserve warmth,
Comfort,
And rest.
Days guided back home to love.
I can be both adventurous and peaceful.
My heart shines bright like the ocean at sunset.
I am connected to magic,
Wonder,
And light.
I am loved in every world above,
Below,
The sea.
And now,
Little soul,
The stars are watching over you.
The ocean is calm and your heart is safe.
May your dreams be magical,
Peaceful,
And filled with love.
Until next time,
Sweet child.
Good night,
Little ocean soul.
Good night,
Little star of the sea.
