Are you ready to meditate with Kori?
Make sure that you're all comfortable and snug,
You're warm and quiet in your bed so that you can relax your body and let go of your busy day.
Close your eyes if you haven't done so already and take a nice big deep breath.
Breathe it out and let your body sink just a little bit deeper.
Again take a nice big deep breath.
Imagine you're breathing in the biggest breath that you've ever ever taken.
And then blow it out like you're blowing a wish or you're blowing up a balloon.
Let your body get soft on your bed and start to relax all of your muscles.
You've probably been running and playing.
Now it's time to relax.
Imagine in your mind that your muscles are wanting to go to sleep.
They want to rest and be still.
Imagine your muscles are like a big heavy suit that you've been wearing all day long.
And now that heavy suit wants to just start to melt into your bed.
You don't have to carry them around anymore or try and slug and move and drag the weight.
Now you're free to just rest.
With your eyes closed using your imagination,
Playing with your mind and the space that you're in.
What if your bed wasn't really a bed?
What if once you relaxed enough in your bed and you laid very very still just like you are right now,
Your bed magically turned into a flying carpet.
And the flying carpet that you're laying on has the ability to take you anywhere in the world.
Your magic carpet is very safe so there's no way you can fall off.
It doesn't move too fast,
It knows you personally and it knows what you like and what you don't like.
But it also wants to take you somewhere very special.
Would you be okay with going on a journey on your magic carpet?
Keeping your eyes closed of course at all times and staying very very still so the magic carpet can tell that you're truly resting.
Okay?
First of all,
Just feel your body laying on the carpet.
Feel the solidness underneath your back and the rest of your back body.
Know that you're laying on this magic carpet and sometimes it might feel like it's swaying a little bit from side to side or moving just a little bit or it might feel very very still.
Just trust that the magic carpet is going to take you somewhere very very nice.
You don't know this but the magic carpet has started its journey.
Then you're moving off your bed and flying through your window.
You're flying up over all the houses and the fields and the cars down below.
You can see your neighbors,
Can fly past your school.
It's all right there down below.
All the things that you're familiar seeing where you live but this time you're seeing them from up above.
You can look over the side of the flying carpet if you want to now and you'll see what I'm talking about.
The houses,
The trees,
Your school,
Different buildings,
Maybe there's a library,
A doctor's office.
Maybe you can see the park where you play.
Your magic carpet wants to take you to Hummingbird Lane.
Hummingbird Lane is a place that maybe you've heard about,
Probably never really been before.
Just because you're a person and normally only hummingbirds get to go to Hummingbird Lane.
But since you're flying on your magic carpet this is really a magical experience which means you get to be a hummingbird just for a short time.
You'll know when you're at Hummingbird Lane.
The trees are covered in flowers because we all know hummingbirds love beautiful colored flowers.
The trees create an archway,
They grow into an arch,
An arch that all the hummingbirds fly under and the lane goes on for the longest time.
If you were standing at one end of the lane it would feel like miles and miles and miles of colorful pretty flowered trees with hundreds and thousands of hummingbirds.
We're almost there.
Your magic carpet is going to fly under the trees so I suggest you lay down and look up.
All you're going to see is pink and purple and yellow,
White,
Red,
Orange,
So many different colored flowers and they're so beautiful and it smells so sweet like you're sniffing sweetest flowers.
There are so many hummingbirds,
They're so fast.
The wings are flapping so fast you can barely see them move.
They fly from flower to flower,
Gathering the sugary fluid from the flowers,
Pollinating the trees at the same time.
The hummingbirds are all different colors,
Some have got like a magical metallic green chest,
Some of them are brown,
Some of them are yellow,
They're all different colors.
Your magic carpet is moving really really slow,
Like you're flying under a sky full of flowers and birds.
It's so pretty and peaceful here at hummingbird lane because there's no other people,
There's no cars,
There's no noisy streets,
No one's shouting or no music playing,
Nothing but the most amazing flowers,
An awesomest hummingbirds everywhere.
The smell of the flowers is intoxicating and it makes you get really sleepy and tired,
Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she's walking through that field that makes her get sleepy.
You feel like that,
Your eyes start to feel a little bit heavy but you don't want to close your eyes,
You want to see all of the birds and the flowers.
If you look forward you can see the lane just keeps going and going and going,
It's going to take such a long time to get to the end of the ride but it's so nice and you're so happy there and you feel so safe and comfortable,
You don't want to miss anything.
The more you try and keep your eyes open,
The heavier your eyelids seem to get,
They get a little bit itchy and burny and when you want to rub them and focus again but then they're just so heavy and tired and it feels so nice when you close them,
Your whole face softens and relaxes when your eyes close.
If you just close your eyes for a minute you'll notice something that you didn't notice before,
You can hear all the hummingbirds wings buzzing and flapping and it makes the prettiest sound like a very gentle drumming sound that relaxes your body even more.
Everything,
Your toes and your feet get super relaxed,
Your legs are comfortable and heavy,
This is like the bestest,
Most relaxing place.
You just want to surrender,
To just let go and be completely supported by your magic carpet.
Know that you're safe,
Know that all is well here at Hummingbird Lane,
This is such a cool place,
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to fall to sleep here just for a little bit,
Just to rest a little bit,
Won't hurt.
Your body starts to get tingly as if it's floating,
Just like the magic carpet and then when you finally close your eyes for good and let yourself surrender into the relaxation,
You start to feel like you're a hummingbird yourself,
Flying through the trees,
Landing on all the different coloured flowers,
Being around all the other hundreds of hummingbirds,
This very magical place.
Just let yourself sleep.
Emotional Relaxation gee You You You You You You You
