Welcome to your imagination and happiness where we will focus only on feeling good.

Are you ready for an adventure?

Have a good stretch out of your whole body.

Then let your arms and legs and belly relax.

Close your eyes and make yourself really cosy and comfortable.

Take a deep breath in through your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.

Good.

Again a deep breath in through your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.

One more time deep breath in and slowly and calmly breathe out.

Wonderful.

You're doing this brilliantly.

Now imagine that you are at the edge of an enchanted green forest.

You walk slowly to the edge of the trees with bare feet.

As you walk you feel fresh grass as soft as feathers under your feet.

With every step you take you feel more and more at peace and more and more relaxed.

The sunlight is bright and soft and warm and shines around you like a glorious force field.

Your energy is connected to the earth and to all of nature.

You feel very safe and very happy.

In the sunlight of this enchanted forest you can see a path glistening in between the trees,

Sparkling and inviting you to walk along it.

You sense that the trees are old and wise and friendly here.

As you follow the twisting path winding along deeper into the forest you look around and see that the trees have old and caring faces in their ancient creaky trunks.

They are smiling to greet you as you walk past them and you smile back happily at their kind and funny faces.

You come to a clearing in the trees with a tree stump in the middle of the grass.

Resting on top of this tree stump is a big leather bound book.

Very curious you walk closer to have a good look.

The book's cover has pictures of magical creatures and strange symbols carved into the leather and it is painted with what looks like real gold around the edges.

It is very mysterious and beautiful and it looks very old like it's from a different time in history.

You look around to see if the book belongs to anyone but all you see is leafy trees and all you hear is the sound of the forest.

You notice a golden glow around the book and it seems to sparkle in the sunlight.

It looks like it could be enchanted.

You slowly reach out your hand and run your fingers over the symbols and pictures delicately carved into the leather cover.

The pictures show lions and unicorns and other animals and pixies and elves and every creature you can imagine.

You run your fingers over the scenes of battles and celebrations and garden parties and castles and dragons and fairies.

This definitely seems like a magical book.

The leather is smooth and soft and a little worn and weathered as though it has been held and read countless times across countless years.

Feeling very excited,

You slowly open the book to the middle pages.

It is very heavy and you have to use both hands.

As it lands open with a little thump,

A puff of golden dust sparkles up from the book around you.

The golden glittery dust starts to swirl,

Dazzling you as little spirals of light dance up from the pages.

You look down in amazement as you see the pages have come to life.

A little fairy tale forest has suddenly sprouted up with a crystal clear pond and a gnome house made out of a giant mushroom with a little wooden door,

Chimney and window.

The golden light swirls around you and you feel light as a feather.

As you realise you have floated up into the air and you are shrinking down into the fairy tale forest in the magic book.

You see an old gnome sitting on a tree stump,

Looking out at the forest in peace.

This is a friendly old grandparno.

You sense that he is there to make sure you have fun,

But also to keep you out of too much mischief.

He waves hello and nods as you ask to explore his adorable gnome home.

You push open the door and step inside the cute cosy mushroom house,

Still amazed that you are now tiny enough to fit inside easily.

There is a fireplace with a fluffy rug and a wooden rocking chair with soup made of many healthy herbs boiling in a black pot.

Smoke from the fire goes up through the cute red chimney and curls out into the forest.

You lean against the wall and it is strong but also spongy and soft like a mushroom.

Such a warm,

Comforting place.

You wonder what other fairy tale places are on the other pages of the magic book.

As you make a wish to see another page,

The golden dust swirls around you and you float up above the book.

As the page turns again and there is another wonderful scene from a story.

This time you are in front of a gingerbread house.

Wow!

You make another wish and you float up and the page turns and suddenly there is a castle with a magnificent dragon before your eyes.

And another wish and another page and you are at the end of a rainbow with a unicorn prancing through a buttercup meadow.

Wherever you wish to go,

Whatever fairy tale place you wish to see,

This book will turn a page and take you there instantly.

You feel so happy and so alive.

This is such an exciting adventure.

You think positive thoughts as you realise how lucky you are to have found this enchanted book.

I am safe.

I am smart.

I am loved.

I am grateful.

I am happy.

I am healthy.

I can do anything.

Every part of you feels so incredibly calm and peaceful to have your wishes come true.

You have some time now to explore the amazing pages of your magic fairy tale book.

Feeling so joyful after seeing the most incredible places and exploring stories from inside of the book.

You know that it is time now to return home.

You feel the golden dust start to swirl around you as you float above the book and see it return to the middle pages.

The grandparnome is still sitting peacefully on his tree stump.

It gives you a friendly wave goodbye as you float up and grow bigger and bigger until you are your normal size again.

As the golden energy glows around you,

You land gently back on the forest floor.

You start to follow the winding soft grass path back through the forest.

Past the wise and ancient trees through the enchanted forest.

Back across the soft green grass and home to bed.

As you snuggle under the covers,

You feel so happy because you know that you can go on an adventure in your magic fairy tale book which is waiting for you in the enchanted forest.

Anytime you wish sweet dreams.
