Are you ready to meditate with Kari?
Are you ready to be still and quiet so that you can listen to your story,
Relax your body and let go of anything that you're worrying about?
This is a very special but also very important story.
It's a story about a girl who's just a little bit afraid of monsters and ghosts.
This doesn't have to be a story about a little girl.
It could very easily be a story about a boy but this story happens to be about a girl and this girl was absolutely awesome.
She was smart,
She was funny,
She was loving and kind and she was also just a little bit afraid of monsters and ghosts.
At night time that's when it was the worst.
It wasn't that she was afraid of the dark.
That wasn't necessarily the problem.
The problem was if she was alone in her bedroom,
If mom and dad had gone to bed,
That's when she would get scared.
There was something about being alone and it being night time that made her think that there was always something maybe under the bed or in the closet.
Maybe it was hiding behind all of her stuffies.
Who knows but you know maybe a ghost to come through the walls.
Ghosts and monsters aren't necessarily bothered by alarm systems or dogs barking so how are you supposed to protect yourself from ghosts and monsters?
They can just come through walls right?
Well I'm going to teach you exactly what my very special friend is going to start to do too.
I'm going to let you in on a secret.
A secret that a lot of people don't know.
Even adults,
Lots and lots of adults don't know this but I'm not making it up.
It's something that's very real and very true and I teach people to do all the time but if you don't know me how are you supposed to know about this particular magic that I'm going to share with you?
You would never know right?
Unless you listen to this very special story.
Your heart is a magical center.
You think it's just your heart but it isn't.
It's this pumping ball of energy that has so much magical ability you would not believe it and your heart is the most powerful thing about you.
It's more powerful than your brain.
It's more powerful than your bones,
Your muscles,
Your skin.
It is the most important thing in your body and your heart is magic because it is powerful and it can create magic.
Let me explain.
If you close your eyes,
You can do this right now with me,
Close your eyes and start to imagine that your breath is going down into your heart.
So take a breath in through your nose and breathe it down through your throat,
Down into your chest,
Down into your heart and then breathe out.
Breathe in to your heart and breathe out.
What you're going to do for this very magical creation is make your heart light up.
You might not be able to see the light but if you keep your eyes closed and you imagine by using your imagination and using the magic of your powerful mind as well,
You imagine that your heart is like a little light bulb inside of your chest and every time you breathe into your heart the light in the middle of your chest gets brighter.
So every breath that you take you breathe in,
Your light in the middle of your chest gets brighter.
You breathe in again it gets even brighter.
You breathe in again and it gets that bright that it starts to light up the space around your body.
Imagine in your mind that your whole body is starting to light up with the bright light coming out of your heart.
Breathe in even more and the light around your body starts to spread into your bedroom.
So it lights up your bed.
Imagine it's lighting up the walls,
It's lighting up the floor,
Around the windows.
The more you breathe the more it fills your entire bedroom.
It goes under the bed which is very important.
It goes in the closet which is even more important.
It goes inside all of your drawers,
All of the nooks and crannies inside of your room.
Your magical light coming from your heart and everyone can do this.
So if you practice with me don't say oh I can't do it because we all have a magical heart so every single one of us can do it.
There isn't one person on the earth that can't create this magic with their heart.
So you have to keep your eyes closed and all you do is breathe in and watch the light get bigger and bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger and stronger.
So by the time that you're done your whole bedroom is bright light.
Everything is shiny bright white light.
Remember you have your eyes closed so it doesn't matter if you open your eyes and your bedrooms dark or you have your nightlight on that's not what we're doing here.
Trust me you have to keep your eyes closed and you imagine this bright magical light.
Now what's awesome about this little trick,
This ritual,
This special special magic I'm sharing with you is that monsters and ghosts don't like your heart light.
They don't like it.
It's like they're repelled against it.
You know Superman gets hurt by kryptonite.
Everybody has a weakness right?
Monsters and ghosts or gremlins anything that you get scared about at nighttime does not like this magical light.
I promise I'm telling you the truth and promise I'm not lying.
I promise that this will help you to get over being worried about monsters in the dark.
You have the power to blast away any monsters or any ghosts that you think might have been in your bedroom.
You don't need your mom to do it.
You don't need your dad to do it.
You don't need your granny or your guardian or your big sister or your big brother.
You don't need anyone else.
That's what's so magical about this.
You can do it.
You have the power because you're awesome and you have the most important ingredients.
You have a heart and your heart is full of this magical light.
So every night when you go to your bed maybe you brush your teeth,
You have your routine,
You get into bed,
Maybe you read a book or you listen to a meditation and then it's time for sleep.
That time where maybe normally you would start to think about monsters and ghosts and goblins and ghoulies and anything scary in the nighttime.
That's when you do your heart breathing.
You close your eyes and you start to see that light turn on in the middle of your chest.
You watch it get bigger,
Brighter and stronger and more powerful with every breath.
Every time you breathe in you create more magic.
You're breathing out that light into your bedroom blasting away the monsters.
Take that you've got no chance.
Blasting away the ghosts.
Take that you silly ghosts.
Get out of my room.
Blast them away with that bright light and then your room is completely safe.
You'll find yourself in your own safe,
Special perfect bedroom and you'll be fine to be alone because you have this bright light all around you keeping you safe and then you'll be able to relax.
I bet right now if you close your eyes start to breathe into your chest.
Do it with me.
Breathe into your light in the middle of your heart.
Make it bigger and bigger.
You can do it.
Bigger and bigger.
Brighter and brighter.
You're doing so good.
Filling under your bed with bright light.
Filling all over the walls.
Making bright light go into the closet and all of the nooks and crannies where dark spaces are in your room.
Making it brighter and brighter and safer and safer.
You're doing such a good job.
Just keep using your imagination.
Keep sending out that light from your chest,
From your magical heart.
Blasting away anything that's scary so your room is clean.
Your space is safe.
You can relax your toes.
Relax your feet.
You can relax your legs.
You can relax your arms,
Your fingers,
Your hands.
Your belly relaxes.
Your back relaxes.
Your whole body is very,
Very sleepy and comfortable and relaxed.
You're so powerful.
You're awesome.
You're magical.
You're very,
Very independent because you can do this all by yourself.
You're smart.
You're funny and most important,
There is definitely no monsters or ghosts or anything scary allowed in your bedroom ever,
Ever again.
You're safe.
Everyone you love is close by in the house.
You can relax.
You can be sleepy.
You can be so,
So comfortable.
You can have the knowing that you are going to be okay.
Everything is okay.
Everything is going to be okay.
