Are you ready?
To meditate with Kari.
Are you ready to be so still?
And so quiet.
As you listen to the story so that your body can relax.
You can let go of your day.
Heidi,
Cherry,
And Veyer were with their friend,
Serenity.
They were over at Serenity's house,
Having a sleepover.
They've got their PJs on.
They painted their nails.
They got their fur set in rollers.
They'd done everything possible that they could think of that was very,
Very girly.
And also very,
Very fun.
And then everyone had decided to snuggle down on the bed because they were tired.
Cherry was thinking about people's names.
Serenity's name in particular.
You know,
" said Cherry,
You know what Serenity,
You know I really like your name.
I think it's so nice.
I mean,
I like my name.
My name,
Cherry.
I mean,
Cherry's all right,
Ain't it?
I mean,
Who don't like Cherry?
Well,
Some people don't like Cherries.
But,
You know,
I was trying to think of another name,
Another meaning for my name.
Cherry,
Cherry,
Oh,
Cherry,
Cherry.
Oh,
Cherry.
But I couldn't,
I couldn't think of anything except cherries,
Fruit,
That's it.
That's all I could think of.
You know?
" And then I was thinking about Heidi.
Heidi.
I like your name,
Heidi.
It's very simple,
Heidi said.
Yeah,
I like my name.
I always have done.
Veyes said.
Me likes my name,
But I.
.
.
I always wished it was something more.
I don't know,
Like.
.
.
Esmeralda or Isabella or something that sounds more like a princess.
Cherry set.
Oh,
No,
No,
Veya.
Veya sounds very much like a princess.
It sounds very exotic,
Don't you think,
Serenity?
Serenity said.
I like your name.
I like all of your names.
Well,
Said Cherry,
I particularly like your name,
Serenity.
You know,
Close your eyes everyone,
Just close your eyes and say it,
Serenity.
Serenity it makes you pee no it doesn't make you pee it makes you feel it makes you feel so peaceful inside it makes you feel so peaceful just the name serenity it like makes you go oh that sounds so nice don't it don't it though and it goes like you go like serenity it's like what what do you think you think peaceful you think oh serene it's so serene like a peaceful serene beach or sunset or like peaceful or like oh wait wait wait like like the glow from the moon.
That's what serenity is.
It's like a glow from the moon.
Or it could be like a sky,
A night sky full of stars.
Serenity.
What do you think of howdy when you think of Serenity?
Heidi closed her eyes and thought about it for a second.
Oh,
Yes,
It definitely is a very calming.
Peaceful name.
Yeah,
It makes you feel nice inside.
Jerry said.
See?
Clay,
That's what I mean.
But when I closed my eyes and I said,
Cherry.
It don't quite do the same,
Does it?
Close your eyes,
Everyone.
Everyone,
Close your eyes and do it.
Charess Ciao Bye It's a little bit like.
.
.
Cha-cha-ray.
Cherry.
Yeah,
I don't know what it is,
But it's not as nice.
Say your name inside.
Ida.
No,
Not no.
No,
Faya.
Faya,
You do it.
You say your name inside.
I mean,
With your eyes closed,
You know what I mean?
Close your eyes and say it.
Vea closed her eyes.
Um.
.
.
Mmm.
I think my name sounds gentle.
Heidi said,
Yes it does,
It sounds very.
.
.
They're comforting,
They are.
It sounds very comforting.
Serenity said,
Yes it does.
Cherry said,
Yeah,
He does.
See,
He does.
Does Cherry,
Though?
Close your eyes and say,
Cherry.
He don't,
Does he?
You just go,
Cherry.
Yeah,
Like,
It's nothing,
Is it?
It's not like.
.
.
There you are.
Or.
.
.
Serenity.
No,
It's not.
It's just like.
.
.
It's definitely not heavenly.
You know what?
You know what I could do right now?
And this is how much your name is so awesome,
Serenity.
I could make meditation up just from your name.
I think that's what we should do.
Everyone,
Lay down,
Get ready.
Lay down.
I mean,
You're already laid down,
But lay down and get comfortable.
Wait a minute,
Let me get my meditation voice on.
I think I might have to pee first because you know you're not supposed to meditate when you need to pee and sometimes like when you get in bed and you get so comfy and you're so ready for sleep and you're like oh I'm so comfy I'm so so so sleepy oh no I need to pee it's the worst thing in the world isn't it well it's even worse when you meditate guys so I've heard Corey say it many times before make sure that you go to go to the toilet and you You go pee,
Or you go poop,
Or you need to like,
Little toots,
Whatever you need to do,
Just go do them,
And then your body will feel very comfortable.
So,
I need to pee.
Cherry went off to go pee and everyone got ready.
They were all snuggled up in their soft furry blankets.
The lights were nice and soft and dim.
In Serenity's bedroom.
She had some incense burning,
So the room smelled very peaceful.
Everything was ready for meditation.
It was almost as if Cherry knew exactly what she was doing.
Before she even thought of it.
When she came back.
She sat down on the ground.
In crisscross applesauce.
Straightened her spine.
And got very,
Very into her yoga.
Meditation.
Persona.
Eh heh,
Eh heh,
Eh heh.
All right.
All right,
Everyone.
Now everyone.
Get really comfortable.
Get so comfortable.
So,
So comfortable that you could probably melt into the bed.
You're so comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Oh no,
Wait,
Wait,
Wait,
That's a bit aggressive.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
Close them really tight.
So tight.
No,
Well,
Don't squint because that's not relaxing.
No,
Don't do that,
Everyone.
Everyone,
Everyone,
Just close your eyes gently.
Gently close your eyes.
Let go of your day.
Let go of the world.
Let go of your worries.
Let go of your stresses.
Like everything.
Accept this moment.
Melt away.
Wow that were really good I like that bit that were really good Relax.
Serenity.
Peaceful serenity Serenity is such a lovely name.
Serenity.
Allow.
Serenity to come in to your world.
Coming to ya!
Worlds.
Serenity giggled a little bit.
She did think Cherry was very funny.
It was very hard not to laugh at Cherry,
Even when Cherry was being as serious as she was being right now.
So Serenity just stifled down her giggle.
And closed our eyes again.
Oh Serenity,
You're like the glow of the moon.
You're like the stars in the sky.
You are.
That place in my heart that is filled with love and joy.
Serenity.
Serenity.
Whispers through the trees.
" That part was really funny.
Serenity giggled again,
But tried very,
Very hard not to let Cherry know.
Cherry was so into what she was doing.
She had her eyes closed,
And she was swirling around her upper body as if she was deep in a state of trance herself.
Swirling through the trees like the wind blowing through the trees.
Serenity.
Serenity.
The night whispered.
The owls whispered her name.
Oh,
I like that.
That's really fun.
I like owls.
Owls are so.
.
.
Oh,
We're.
.
.
The owls whispered her name.
And then the mice's whispered her name.
And then the tiny little hedgehogs.
That were all asleep until they heard the word rustling through the trees.
Serenity And then they whispered her name.
Her name was contagious.
Her name!
Serenity.
Was just.
.
.
Peace.
Peace.
Peace is all you feel when you say her name.
Peace inside.
Veya had fell asleep.
It doesn't take Vea very long to fall asleep whenever Cherry is doing a meditation voice.
For some reason,
It's just perfect for Vea.
It works every time.
She was making tiny little cute snoring noises.
She was so out.
Serenity was still trying not to laugh.
And Heidi looked very comfortable.
Not one single giggle came out of Heidi.
She was very,
Very much.
Also in a state of trance.
It looked like Cherry had some kind of trans powers over everyone.
Except serenity.
Serenity was trying very hard to relax.
Cherry noticed.
Don't you shuffle around.
Just stay still as you can.
Be still,
Serenity.
Be still.
Stop moving and shuffling.
See,
You're making me not think about my meditation voice.
Um.
All right,
I'm back.
Serenity It's in the sky.
It's in the clouds.
It's in the ground.
Mother Earth is serenity herself.
Cherry kept going on and on and on.
She had at least another five more minutes of meditation in her.
Serenity.
Finally settled down.
She decided that every time Cherry said something that was funny,
It wasn't supposed to be funny.
And that made her try and stay more serious.
It's very difficult.
As Cherry is just funny.
But she did.
Eventually.
Close your eyes.
And fall to sleep.
Along with Heidi.
And VEYA.
When Cherry realized.
After 10 more minutes of going on and on and on and on.
That everyone had already fallen to sleep.
She went pee again.
Came back.
Settle down next to everyone in bed.
Balled up a big,
Soft,
Fuzzy blanket.
Close your eyes.
And started to drift off.
Into the sweetest most comfortable dreams.
She was dreaming that she was on stage.
At a silent meditation retreat.
And it was time for her.
To be the teacher in Satsang.
Satsang is when everyone sits down and listens to the yogi,
The teacher,
The spiritual guide.
They have a couple of hours where they can answer questions.
Cherry was thinking about that.
She's got hundreds of people in front of her,
All fans of her meditations.
There were people from all over the world.
Greece,
Italy,
Spain.
She was famous.
Famous for her meditations.
And how quickly she could put people to sleep.
She had the bestest dream.
Such a good dream.
The end.
