Hello my friend,
I'm so glad you're here tonight.
It's time to get comfortable in your bed,
To lay your head down on your pillow and to get ready to listen to this story about Surya,
Chandra and Maya.
Surya is the sun,
Chandra is the moon.
And Maya is a young girl who dreams of mighty adventures and who knows nature is always supporting her.
Before I begin the story,
I would love for you to further settle into your cozy bed by taking three big deep breaths with me.
Breathing in through your nose,
Right into your belly and then slowly breathing out through the mouth.
Come along with me.
Now that you're settled and calm,
I hope you enjoy this story.
It was the most perfect day,
The evening breeze swept her up and into the gentle caress of her soft bed.
Maya gently closed down her eyes,
Signalling the end of the day and as she did so,
She thought about all of the beautiful experiences the day brought.
That morning,
Surya the sun rose and greeted Maya with the biggest,
Brightest smile.
Surya had been brightening the day for other children around the world and now it was Maya's turn.
Maya continued to wake and get excited about her day.
Her heart felt happy,
Her mind clear and her body excited to play,
Learn and explore.
As Surya watched on,
Maya played with her friends,
Ran with the wind and felt the earth beneath her feet.
She giggled,
Smiled and created.
Maya felt loved and felt like she belonged.
Maya made her friends feel loved and comforted too and always looked out for them.
Just as Surya was brightening and warming Maya's day,
So was Maya to her friends.
Surya was a fine role model for young Maya.
Maya admired how Surya always showed up day in,
Day out.
She admired how Surya's rays were never anything less than bright and radiant.
Maya knew that even on cloudy,
Rainy or stormy weather days that Surya was still in the same spot,
Shining and beaming brightly.
She knew that even on days when she felt a little sad,
Tired,
Lonely or even angry that those feelings would eventually pass on by,
Just like the clouds and weather that would block the sun,
Only for a little while.
Maya grew and flourished just that little bit more,
Just as you're doing now,
Every single day.
As this magical day continued,
Surya's colours began to change and Maya knew the day was coming to an end.
Maya was equally excited as when Surya had arrived earlier that day.
As she knew that soon,
Chandra,
The moon,
Would be swapping places with Surya.
Chandra had arrived to protect and look over Maya as her day was drawing to a close.
Maya noticed that Chandra often changed in size,
Shape and even position in the sky.
She would be amazed at Chandra's fullness,
But to see Chandra in the sky,
Only partly glowing,
Made Maya appreciate Chandra just as much.
Did you see Chandra before you got into bed tonight?
Maya was fascinated at how Surya and Chandra were so similar to her.
Whether it was a rainy and cloudy day in the way of Surya,
Or only seeing part or sometimes none of Chandra in the evening sky,
That they were always there,
Being bright and glorious and amazing at every moment.
This meant Maya understood that no matter the kind of day she was having,
Or what anyone might have said to her that day,
That her true self was always special and always needed in the world.
Maya was now snuggled and safe in her bed.
She was ready to dream a magical adventure underneath the watchful eye of Chandra.
Chandra made Maya feel comfortable to dream in all the ways her heart desired.
Maya desired to dream of a sunny beach holiday with her family,
Or perhaps even a journey through a magical forest full of enchanted creatures.
Where would you like your dreams to take you tonight?
Whatever your heart desires to dream,
Chandra will do their best to take you there and to feel every sensation as if it were happening in real life.
Maya was now ready to be transported to her dreams.
She was ready to feel the warmth of the sun on her face and her feet being hugged by the sand.
Maya was also ready to feel the love and bliss of meeting a magical enchanted creature in the forest.
Are you ready to dream your very own magical adventure?
Can you also begin to feel the sensations of your dream?
Beneath Chandra's glow,
Maya drifted off to meet her dreams.
She didn't know which dream journey would be hers tonight,
But she knew that when she would wake up tomorrow,
Surya would be back to greet her and it would be the most perfect day yet.
Good night and sweet dreams my friend.
Surya looks forward to greeting you in the morning too.
