Tonight,
We are headed on a relaxing journey to the Hot Chocolate Factory.
Before we go on this sweet adventure,
Let's take a moment to relax and get cozy and comfortable.
What can you do right now to make yourself just a little bit more comfortable?
Imagine now that all of the busy thoughts in your mind turn into fluffy marshmallows.
Maybe you have 3,
Maybe you have 20.
Imagine now that you gently set them aside on your bedside table,
Putting them away just for now,
So that we can give our minds a beautiful gift,
The gift of rest and relaxation.
You start to feel peaceful right here in this cozy moment,
Sinking deeper and deeper into the surface that you are on,
Snuggling up and noticing how warm your body feels,
Letting it feel as warm and relaxed as a marshmallow melting in a cup of hot cocoa.
Now gently close your eyes and take a nice deep breath in through your nose like you are smelling the rich aroma of your hot chocolate.
As you exhale,
Imagine that you are cooling it off before you can take a sip.
Let's try that again.
Nice big inhale through your nose like you are smelling your delicious hot chocolate and then letting out a nice long exhale to cool it off before you can take a sip.
One more time,
Big long inhale through your nose smelling the hot chocolate and a nice long exhale cooling it off before you take a sip.
Now let your imagination take you away to a magical hot chocolate factory.
Imagine walking through the big brown doors.
The delicious scent of chocolate fills the air.
The factory is a cozy chocolatey wonderland with giant cocoa beans and swirling chocolate rivers.
Up ahead,
You see a friendly chocolate maker stirring a big cauldron of velvety chocolate goodness.
She smiles warmly as she sees you and she invites you to join her by the chocolate river.
As you walk beside her,
You feel a sense of happiness wash over you.
The chocolate maker teaches you how to stir the chocolate with a big brown wooden spoon,
Just like a chocolatier at work.
You watch as the liquid chocolate swirls and dances,
Swirls and dances all around.
It's like you're stirring a pot of happiness.
Now she shows you how to carefully pour the melted chocolate into the little molds shaped like cute animals.
You smile as you carefully fill each and every mold,
Imagining all the delicious hot cocoa that these chocolatey friends will become.
The chocolate maker invites you to a cozy corner with comfy chairs.
You sit down and get comfortable.
As you take a sip of the most delicious hot chocolate you have ever tasted,
The chocolate warms you up from the inside and feels like a cozy hug in a cup.
As you savor your hot chocolate,
You look around and see the factory workers busy packaging chocolate bars and making other chocolatey treats too.
The factory is filled with the happy sounds of laughter and the hum of machines.
It's like a sweet symphony.
Now find a comfy nook by a window where you watch fluffy snowflakes gently fall outside.
You take a slow deep breath,
Feeling all the warmth and happiness in your heart.
Your eyes are closed,
Feeling content and cozy.
You let yourself drift into a dreamy state.
It's time to sleep.
You start to fall asleep with the delicious memories of the hot chocolate factory warming your heart,
Sweet dreams.
