As you settle in for a cozy night of rest,
Perhaps you're feeling very excited,
Because you'll soon meet the amazing gratitude genie.
So just snuggle under the covers and close your eyes.
As you start to relax so well,
You may enjoy taking some deep breaths in and out.
And as you breathe so naturally,
You can feel yourself becoming all dreamy now,
For your wonderful imagination to have so much fun.
As I'd first like for you to imagine a tropical island in the middle of the ocean.
Now this island is quite big,
With lots of rocks and cliffs and hidden coves.
As the story goes many moons ago,
Just like the legends of old,
This island was once where pirates used to hide their treasure,
The most glorious treasure from all over the world.
And as you have a clear picture in your mind now of this secret island in the ocean,
You may feel yourself starting to float through the sky.
And you feel so safe and special,
Light as a feather.
And now you are drifting down,
Down,
Down,
All the way downwards onto the soft sand of the island shore.
And now you notice this fine sand feels warm between your toes.
So soothing,
Like it is welcoming you here to this island beach at this special time right now.
Because as you take more and more steps along this lovely beach,
You admire the gentle waves on the sand,
Foamy and shallow.
And you are feeling a gentle sea breeze against your skin.
And now you feel just like you are on a summer holiday,
With every part of you so relaxed and so very happy.
And now as you look along this stretch of sand,
You can see it curves into a little cove,
Like a small beach with lots of rocks under a stony cliff.
Perhaps you have noticed yourself thinking how charming and how mysterious this rocky cove looks.
And maybe there's a part of you that can't help but be curious as to what might be there.
But either way you are feeling drawn to explore this cove,
Like a gentle force is inviting you to look more closely,
Because you wonder what you might find.
And so as you walk over to the rocks under the cliff,
You notice a little opening there,
Like a natural stony entrance to a seaside cave.
And now you must go inside to investigate,
Because this feels so thrilling for you to be discovering a whole new hidden place.
As you step inside,
Your eyes adjust to this darkness in this hollow little cave.
And you can't help but notice something glinting in a shaft of sunlight.
A bright object stuck between two rocks.
As you grow closer,
Your eyes make out a bronze oil lamp.
And next to the lamp are a few gold sovereigns,
Old little coins.
It appears that perhaps a pirate left in a hurry and could only carry so much of the bounty.
Although these coins are very beautiful,
You feel much more interested in the lamp for a strange reason you can't yet understand.
It doesn't look that valuable,
But you feel captivated by it.
Very intrigued to pick it up and look closer.
And now you see it's not rusty,
Just dusty.
From what looks like years of sitting here and waiting just for you to find it.
There is an ancient design carved into the metal,
And symbols which look like they're from another time in history.
As you peer closer,
You blow some of the dust away and gently rub the side of the lamp.
Suddenly to your surprise,
A mist of golden light starts to emerge from the lamp.
Swirling and shimmying,
More and more,
Into a big magical cloud of shiny smoke right in front of you.
And much to your amazement,
As this glittery mist starts to clear,
You can clearly see a genie floating in the air right before your very eyes.
And because this is very unexpected,
You look closely at this genie and you instantly feel comforted to see he has a big happy smile and very kind eyes.
He is magnificent.
So strong and so friendly.
And you feel at ease in his presence.
This gentle genie is bedazzling you with the gold bracelets on his wrists and clothes that look almost like a costume from ancient times.
With a huge grin,
He now speaks to you in a great,
Booming voice.
So deep.
It rumbles through the cave and echoes across the rocks.
Thank you for releasing me,
My dear friend.
I am the gratitude genie.
I will grant you three wishes.
Your wish is my command.
But you must utter the magic words,
Thank you,
With all of your heart.
And as you listen,
You see this genie looks delighted to stretch out his body as he flies about freely.
I wish I could fly too,
You think to yourself.
Tell what are the magic words,
My dear friend,
The wise genie asks.
Excitedly and feeling so blessed to have found your very own genie,
You say thank you with all of your heart.
And all of a sudden,
You are floating into the air.
And some are sorting around.
And you can fly.
You can really fly.
And so together with your new genie friend,
You float outside this cave.
And go soaring over the island.
Dipping and spinning and circling in the fresh sea breeze over this deserted tropical island.
And what do you see below you as you fly through the sky?
Because you can observe so much more from up here,
High in the air.
And you are loving being able to fly as you feel as free as a bird.
What other special wish would you like to make?
What would you really like to do?
To be?
Or to have?
Think carefully and remember that all you need to do is feel gratitude,
Like a big thank you in your heart.
To be so fortunate to make these special wishes.
And maybe you want to save one wish in your heart for another time.
Or maybe you will make it right now.
Whatever you choose to do,
As long as you have gratitude within you,
Really feeling it in the happiest way.
Anything is possible for you.
Because you are enjoying your time with your fun new friend,
The gratitude genie.
And perhaps as you dream and wish,
You may have the most thrilling time exploring this exotic island some more.
But either way,
You will have the most dreamy fun.
And when my voice returns,
It will be time for your most blissful,
Deepest sleep.
And so,
After having the most wonderful time making your happiest wishes,
And having all of this lovely fun with the gratitude genie,
It is night time now.
And so it is most certainly time to return home to bed.
Because you have so much joy in your heart.
And you know you can return here any time to this hidden island.
And again discover the mysterious lamp with the most generous gratitude genie.
And now you wave goodbye to your fabulous new friend.
And he bows and grins and waves with his strong arm and his little hand.
He says thank you for releasing him and you say thank you in your heart for this amazing adventure.
And now you float up,
Up and away.
All the way back home.
Through the cool night sky.
And all the way down.
Down.
To your lovely,
Cosy bed.
As you drift into your most incredible dreams.
And you relax more and more.
You feel so loved and so blessed and so happy to be the very special person you are.
Because now you know that you can do anything.
And with the power of gratitude in your heart,
Anything is possible for you.
And now you sleep so soundly.
And so very deeply.
All through the night.
Sleep for your very best tomorrow.
And now you float up,
Up and away.
Down.
To your lovely,
Cosy bed.
And all the way down.
Down.
To your lovely,
Cosy bed.
And all the way down.
Down.
To your lovely,
Cosy bed.
And all the way down.
