In this sleep meditation story,
Imagine meeting the happiest mermaid in the secret rainbow reef of the beautiful deep blue ocean.
If you are curious to find out why this friendly and lovely creature is known as the happiest mermaid,
Then settle in and relax because you're in for a fun and inspiring journey of ocean dreams and mermaid magic.
Imagine a tiny tropical island in the beautiful ocean.
Now imagine your tropical island has three palm trees and pure white sands with some lovely ocean shells and a washed up starfish.
Your tropical island is in a secret spot in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia in the middle of a turquoise blue lagoon where the waters are shallow and calm.
You feel so excited to be here because these healing and warm waters are home to some of the most beautiful coral gardens in the world and also one of the loveliest and rarest of ocean creatures.
Imagine walking across the warm white sands and feeling the sand squish in between your toes which is so relaxing and connects you to the energy of nature.
Now imagine picking up the soft velvety starfish which happens to be your favorite color as it smiles up at you with its cute little face.
You step into the ocean water which is so pure and clear and healthy here that it cleanses your mind and quenches your soul.
You gently toss the little starfish out into the calm ocean waves and it makes a happy little splash to be back in the sea.
And instantly now you see a second splash as something beautiful emerges out of the ocean waves.
Your heart flutters with surprise and joy as you see before your eyes is a real life mermaid.
She is bobbing up and down in the waves and smiling curiously at you.
Feeling very lucky to be meeting a mystical mermaid as you admire her long shiny hair and her open friendly face.
You notice that she is about the same age as you.
She seems like such a lovely mermaid girl and you can tell from the way she is splashing about happily that she loves to have lots of fun.
You wave to her and she instantly waves back happily.
And now you see sparkles of enchantment twinkling and shimmering around you as this magical energy of pure love and nature dances around you.
Suddenly you realise you are no longer standing in the water but you are floating with your very own mermaid tail.
Your tail shimmers with many stunning colours and makes you feel light and lovely but also powerful and energised like you can do anything.
This is incredible and you feel so absolutely thrilled to be experiencing mermaid magic.
Excitedly you swim out to your new mermaid friend as you are now at one with the ocean.
Swimming so easily with your lovely mermaid flipper tail,
Gliding gracefully through the bubbling blue sea water.
Your new mermaid friend tells you her name which is actually a secret.
Now you are the only human being to know what her secret name is.
As you swim happily,
Spinning and twirling through the ocean.
Hidden behind lots of tufts of soft green sea grass and where the ocean becomes deeper and deeper,
She shows you the grand underwater palace made completely of shells.
And you explore the magnificent mermaid kingdom hidden in the rainbow reef in a very special spot somewhere in the great barrier reef.
The gardens of the underwater palace are in fact coral gardens,
Technicolor and magnificent.
It is just stunning here with so many coral varieties like the lettuce coral,
Brain coral and star corals in iridescent and magical colours.
The happiest mermaid introduces you now to her mermaid friends.
All very lovely and unique in their own ways and so happy to meet you and show you some fun.
Clown fish are clowning around and making everyone laugh with their silly antics.
Parrot fish are copying what everyone says until you burst out laughing and you love gazing at the rainbow fish,
Shimmering beautifully with every colour of the rainbow.
And then there's the stone fish,
Looking so stone faced and serious,
For no reason at all with a puffed up pout.
You and your mermaid friends can't help but find this hilariously funny.
The mermaids show you how to play games with clams opening and closing to collect their sparkling pearls,
But you must be quick before they snap shut and giggle at you.
When you collect enough pearls,
Your mermaid friends show you how to thread them onto a thin piece of green sea grass to make a gorgeous friendship bracelet of ocean pearls which fits perfectly around your dainty wrist.
The happiest mermaid loves nature and loves looking after her environment.
That way nature loves her and looks after her also in the beautiful circle of life of the ocean.
As you play,
You notice the mermaids are collecting spiky red crown of thorns starfish which are like a litter on the reef because they eat the beautiful corals.
The mermaids feed these red spiky starfish to the giant triton seashells who munch them away like happy garbage collectors and keep the barrier reef clean and safe so the corals can continue to grow and flourish.
You pat the backs of these mighty triton sea snails who do such important work to keep the reef healthy and magnificent.
Suddenly a pod of dolphins swims by and squeaks at you all and now erases on as you swim and twirl and dive through the rainbow reef with the delighted dolphins.
These shiny smooth,
Pure and wise creatures lead you to the edge of the beautiful great barrier reef.
The happiest mermaid's eyes light up and she claps her hands with joy and now you see the most majestic,
Peaceful and massive creature of all moving through the deep ocean.
A blue whale.
Wow!
The huge blue whale drifts over to you and smiles with its cheeky little side grin and spurts a burst of air through its blowhole to say hello to you.
Amazed to be swimming with a whale and such a funny,
Friendly whale too,
The happiest mermaid laughs at your disbelief as she shows you how to hold onto barnacles on the whale's back as you go for a whale ride and you have a whale of a time stroking the smooth skin of your blue whale friend.
It glides with ease through the ocean depths and you feel so powerful and free and at one with all of nature and so very,
Very happy.
After your unforgettable whale ride,
The happiest mermaid shimmies through the reef back to the mermaid kingdom and you swim with her as the sun now starts to set.
It is evening now and time to make music together by blowing different shells which make unique sounds like horns and flutes and pan pipes.
One of the mermaids plays a drum by tapping the shell back of an ancient turtle with some sticks of coral.
The baby clams join in as castanets and the mermaids sing and dance to the natural rhythms.
Your ocean band is so much fun as you love being part of this underwater community where everyone gets along so happily and easily and you feel so safe and welcome and wonderful to be yourself because everybody loves you exactly as you are.
In fact,
As you swirl and swish about to the music,
You realise that you love yourself exactly as you are too and you feel so grateful for your divine life and all of these fun and happy experiences you get to enjoy just by being you.
After having so much fun on the rainbow reef with the happiest mermaid and all of your new ocean creature friends,
It is time now to return home for your healthy deep sleep.
The happiest mermaid,
Whose name only you know,
Swims with you to the white sands on the shores of your tropical island and as she gives you a happy giggle and a wave,
Your mermaid tail disappears in a sparkle of enchantment.
You wave to your mermaid friend,
Noticing you still have your pearl bracelet and watch her dive and swim between the pure waves as you float up above the tropical island now,
Up above the beautiful blue ocean and home into your warm,
Cosy bed as you sleep happily and dream blissfully.
You feel so loved and lucky to have swum with the mermaids,
Gone riding on a whale,
Looked after the reef environment and to have had such fun,
Wonderful ocean adventures.
My voice will leave you now as you dream happily and sleep deeply with total peace because you know that you can go on an enchanted mermaid journey to this secret rainbow reef anytime you wish.
Sweet dreams.
Very soon.
