This is your lucky night.

The animals have chosen you to explore the sleepy jungle.

Welcome to this dreamy sleep meditation for kids.

As you will see,

This amazing jungle comes to life when the moon is high in the sky.

Gently close your eyes and stretch out your body.

Make sure you're in a really comfortable position so you can relax and start to dream.

Lots of meditation magic can happen when you are almost asleep.

Take a deep breath in.

.

.

And a calm breath out.

One more time,

A big belly breath in.

.

.

And a long breath out.

It's wonderful.

How exciting that the animals have invited you to play with them tonight.

As you start to relax more and more.

And imagine starlight streaming in through your window.

Now imagine this glorious starlight surrounds your whole body.

This divine light is the energy of pure love and is keeping you safe always.

To your amazement,

You start to see grass growing on the floor.

And plants start sprouting up out of nowhere.

Your cupboard becomes a huge tree.

Your light becomes a full moon.

And vines start to hang down from the ceiling.

Your room disappears around you.

As green leaves start to grow.

And exotic flowers start to bloom.

And the most beautiful tropical plants you have ever seen appear everywhere.

You notice that your bed is no longer a bed.

It is now a soft patch of red spotted mushrooms.

A sloth swings down from a branch and winks to you.

Instantly you realise you are now in the sleepy jungle.

Moonlight shines down through the trees.

Bathing the jungle in silvery light.

You look around and see that everything glows in the moonshine as though it is magical.

With your bare feet,

You step onto the soft fluffy grass.

You instantly feel very safe and connected to the earth here.

A sense of fun dances in your heart.

This is your special adventure.

Which animals do you wish to meet tonight?

A monkey with a huge grin and a long curly tail swings over to you and waves.

You climb up the vine and you discover you can climb so easily,

Just like a monkey.

You start to swing through the trees with your new monkey friend.

You can feel the fresh night breeze on your face.

As you catch onto the vines and feel so free.

You spot some gorillas now,

Relaxing on the jungle floor next to some huge plants.

These friendly gorillas smile to you and you climb down to meet them.

They show you how to walk like a gorilla on your knuckles and how to feel proud of yourself.

They also show you how to peel bananas in the most delicate way.

Now you see some eyes looking at you through the plants.

A slinky panther appears between the leaves and glides towards you.

Its beautiful black coat is glistening in the moonlight.

The panther nods to you,

Inviting you to climb onto its back.

You hop on and pat its smooth fur.

It darts through the trees,

Running so fast,

Past huge exotic flowers and plants.

You feel so happy and light as you race through the jungle on your super fast panther friend.

The sleepy jungle has the friendliest animals in the world.

They are so happy here and they live in perfect harmony.

You start to hear the sound of flowing water.

And now you see a jungle stream of crystal clear water.

Your panther friend stops by the stream and you hop off and pat its soft coat.

You look at the water sparkling in the moonlight as it bubbles along and into a pond.

In this pond,

There are huge gorgeous lily pads with pink flowers and big green frogs sitting on them.

The frogs smile up at you and invite you onto their lily pads.

You step onto the green pads and jump from one lily pad to the next,

Across the water.

This is amazing.

You are as light as a frog and can jump like one too,

Hopping over the lily pads.

A brightly coloured toucan flies down from a nearby tree and waves for you to follow it.

You gaze up at the toucan's big beak and dazzling tropical feathers.

What an incredible bird!

You let the toucan show you the way as you walk on the soft fluffy grass.

It flies just above you,

Through the huge old trees.

You sense that it is taking you through the sleepy jungle to a very special place.

And now you arrive at the sleepiest,

Dreamiest,

Coziest place in the sleepy jungle.

This is the tigers sleeping cave.

This safe,

Dark and secret cave is hidden in between the sleeping sloths' trees.

You crawl quietly inside the cave and you see an orange and black striped tiger is relaxing happily here.

You lie down next to its warm,

Soft body,

Which is breathing slowly and heavily in and out.

You feel so safe and so calm resting next to the big,

Friendly tiger.

The toucan bird lies down near you,

Folds its wings and starts to sleep too.

You can see out of the cave entrance to the nearby branches where the sloths are sleeping lazily in the trees above.

After a night of fun,

The entire jungle starts to rest.

The moon hides behind some clouds and starts to sleep too.

Your eyes feel very heavy and your breathing gets deeper and deeper.

You close your eyes and feel so cosy and warm and special.

You feel yourself drifting off into your happiest dreams.

As you sleep so deeply now in the tiger's sleeping cave,

In the sleepy jungle,

You feel so happy and so blessed.

You know that you are so safe here and so loved by all of the jungle animals around you.

As you sleep even more soundly now,

With pure peace in your heart,

You know that you are so very special and so wonderful exactly as you are.

Your animal friends of the sleepy jungle are waiting just for you to visit any time you wish.

Sweet sleepy jungle dreams.
