Transcript

Now it's time to go to sleep.

So make sure you're lying down in your bed,

All wrapped up,

Snug and warm,

Ready for a good night's sleep.

Now take a deep breath in,

Breathing out and gently close your eyes.

Now gently relax your face,

Relax your arms,

Your tummy,

Your legs and your feet and let your whole body sink into your bed,

Knowing that there's nothing you need to do now.

Your day is all done.

If you don't really feel sleepy right now,

That's okay.

Sometimes it takes a little time for the dust from the day to settle.

Now take a deep breath in,

Breathing out and let go of the day you've had,

Especially anything that hasn't gone so well or that has upset you.

And you can also let go of any worries you have too.

You can leave it all behind you.

This is your time now to relax and find your peaceful place.

Now breathing as you normally do,

Feel your tummy moving outwards as you breathe in and back down again as you breathe out,

Just noticing that for a little while,

Feeling your tummy rising as you breathe in and gently falling as you breathe out.

And if you're thinking about lots of things,

That's okay.

Sometimes our minds can be full of thoughts and stories about our day.

Maybe we could make up our own story.

Let's go on a little adventure.

Now you're going to need some flying powers for our adventure ahead and it's much more fun going by air.

You'll need a sprinkle of magic flying dust.

That should do it.

Oh,

And you'll need your flying cape.

Are you ready?

Let's go.

You begin to slowly and gently float up into the air,

Feeling so light and a bit tingly from the magic flying dust.

You float through an open window and then up,

Up,

Up into the blue sky above.

As you fly,

You feel warm,

Safe and relaxed.

You fly through some light fluffy clouds and reach out and scoop some up.

You eat a bit of the cloud and it tastes delicious.

I wonder what it tastes like.

Is it like chocolate,

Marshmallows or maybe ice cream?

As you fly,

You pass a flock of birds.

I wonder what kind of birds they are.

You can decide.

You wave to the birds and smile as you pass them,

Wishing them well on their journey.

They're very happy to meet you.

I wonder where they're going.

As you glide gently through the air,

Feeling warm,

Safe and relaxed,

You begin thinking about a special place you'd like to go.

Somewhere where you feel calm,

Happy and peaceful.

It could be somewhere you've been or somewhere you'd like to go.

You can go anywhere.

You decide to visit your special place.

So begin to fly down through the clouds,

Feeling the warm breeze in your hair,

Gliding and twirling your way towards your special,

Calm,

Happy place.

Gradually your special place comes into view.

It gets bigger and bigger until you can see it very clearly.

What does your special place look like as you get closer to the ground?

Now you see the perfect spot to land,

So you gently slow down and land on the ground.

You enjoy the feeling of having your feet firmly on the ground.

Now let's explore.

You might want to walk,

Run,

Bounce,

Fly or ride an animal around this place as you explore.

What can you see in your special place?

Are there any trees,

Mountains or rivers?

Or maybe you're in a town,

Village or a giant castle.

Are there any smells?

Is there anything to eat here?

Really taking in the sights and sounds as you explore.

If you want to,

You can bring some friends,

Family,

Pets or even your favourite cartoon character.

Or you might prefer to keep your special place just for you.

And as you explore your special place,

You feel very calm,

Relaxed and peaceful.

Hmm,

I wonder if there's anything missing that you'd like to add to your place.

Go on,

Bring in anything you like.

Anything is possible here.

Or it might be perfect the way it is.

Now you discover a quiet spot where you can sit down and rest as you're feeling a little tired after all that exploring.

What's it like in this quiet,

Peaceful spot?

What sounds can you hear?

And what can you see?

Now you're feeling so relaxed,

Resting in this perfect little spot that's just for you,

With everything exactly as you'd like it.

Now you're all rested and ready to fly home.

So take one last look around your special place,

Taking in everything here.

The sights,

The smells and the sounds.

And know that you can come back to it whenever you like.

All you have to do is close your eyes.

Now you feel very light as you begin to fly up,

Up,

Up into the blue sky above.

Up through those fluffy clouds.

Go on,

Grab another bite if you like.

What does your cloud taste like now?

As you glide through the air,

You see your flock of birds again.

They're also on their way back home too.

I wonder where they've been.

You give them a big smile as you pass them by and the birds do a loop the loop to greet you.

They're very happy to see you again.

Now you gently glide back down towards your home and you float quietly through the open window,

Back into your bedroom and back into your warm,

Cosy bed.

You feel so sleepy now,

Having been on such an exciting adventure.

Feeling so relaxed and heavy as you sink into your soft,

Warm bed.

It feels like your bed is giving you a big hug.

You smile a little,

Thinking about the magical adventure you've been on.

Feeling content,

Happy and very sleepy now.

So sleepy and ready to drift gently off into a deep sleep.

Good night.

Everything you do, you turn into an adventure. Happy (late) Father’s Day Andy ; )

Great

I loved this because in most of my meditations, I fly ever so high to a very special star. This was just perfect for me. Thank you.

Lovely way to help my boys wind down and fall asleep. Thanks!

Me and my 10 yo both loved it! Now we are ready for sleep. Mission accomplished.

This gentle story helped my ASD child relax and sleep

Thanks Andy for being a part of my
Kids bedtime routine

Fabulous, of course. My 9 year old was having trouble winding down from a full day so we listened together. She imagined a peaceful beach watching sea turtles and eating cotton candy clouds while I conjured up the Northern Lights. . . Nighty night!
