Hello friend!
Thank you for coming into the forest with me.
Please join me for a little walk and adventure and see what we can find in this beautiful Hawaiian cloud forest.
You can begin either sitting down or laying down,
Whatever is comfortable for you.
You can have your eyes open or your eyes closed and we're just going to imagine that we are starting our walk through this forest.
Hear the leaves crunching underneath our feet.
Feel the dampness of the forest floor.
Hmm,
It must have rained not too long ago.
Hear the birds singing around us.
Look at all the beautiful green leaves,
Ferns around us,
Tall trees as tall as the sky.
And as we look off into the distance in front of us,
We see a leaf almost looks like it's waving at us.
Let's go check it out.
We walk closer.
It is,
The leaf is beckoning us to come closer.
And as we near it,
We see another leaf just beyond it.
And so we walk towards that leaf.
And then we see another one.
So we keep walking toward that next leaf as well.
And all of a sudden,
We look up a tree and what do we see but a dragon.
That's right,
A dragon in the forest.
Let's climb up that tree.
Use your hands and open your palms and make a fist like you're climbing up the tree.
Tightly gripping to get all the way up there.
Climb the tree,
Climb the tree and relax the hands.
We've reached the top of the tree.
Now we're going to curl up our toes and squeeze our toes and relax and squeeze our toes and relax to make sure that we're still gripping onto this tree and we don't fall out.
And as we get up to the top,
The dragon says,
Friend I need your help.
I've lost my fire breath.
I've lost my magic.
I need you to help me get it back.
How are we going to help this dragon?
Well,
Let's take one hand onto our belly and one hand onto our chest and we're going to take a deep dragon breath.
We're going to make a balloon out of our belly through our nose.
We're filling that belly balloon.
Do you feel the balloon expanding?
And now we're going to blow it out with a big dragon breath.
But there's no fire yet.
We've got to keep doing our dragon breathing.
Filling up our balloon,
Feeling your belly open up like a big balloon and blowing out like a dragon.
Still no fire.
Let's keep going.
Filling up the balloon,
Trying to let out that dragon breath.
Filling up our balloon,
Letting out that dragon breath.
Do you feel it warming up?
As we're blowing out that fire breath,
It's getting warmer.
The dragon says,
Keep going,
Keep going.
My magic is coming back.
Just one more and I think I'll get it back.
Dear friend,
Keep going.
Blow up that belly balloon.
There it is.
We have fire.
Keep blowing it out onto the forest floor.
And as we breathe this deep dragon breath,
The dragon says,
Thank you friend.
You helped me to get back my dragon breath.
Anytime you lose your dragon breath,
Remember you can bring it back by filling up your belly balloon with air and then blowing it out slowly through your mouth like a dragon breathing fire.
And you will get back that magic dragon breath.
Now we're going to thank our dragon friend for bringing us up into the forest,
Into his tree and helping him get his dragon breath back.
Thank you,
Friend.
Thank you,
Dragon.
And we will see you next time back in the forest.
