Transcript

Allow your body to become quiet and still.

Notice any aches or pains and see if you can let them float away with your breath.

Imagine you are sitting outside in a beautiful garden.

It's a warm sunny day and you are relaxing under a tall shady tree,

Feeling calm and peaceful.

You are surrounded by lots of other trees and you can hear the leaves whispering to each other as the soft wind blows through them.

The sunlight glints through the leaves as they sway back and forth.

There are many colourful flowers with honeybees buzzing around and golden butterflies fluttering in the air.

It's warm and hazy and everything is just as it should be.

You feel happy and content.

Imagine you have a special friend with you and this could be someone you know from school or a member of your family.

It could be a pet or an animal friend who lives in the garden.

If you can't think of anyone to be your special friend,

Imagine someone with whom you feel safe.

You can tell them any troubles or worries and share your thoughts and feelings with them.

Your special friend is sitting with you now under your shady tree,

Enjoying the flowers and the sunshine in your lovely garden.

You can both stay here for a while in this beautiful place,

Feeling calm and peaceful.
