As you lie there with your eyes closed,
I'd like you to imagine that you own a small carpet,
A rug.
It's a rather beautiful rug and it's made up of many bright colours.
Reds,
Oranges,
Blues,
Greens,
Whatever colours you like.
It's not an ordinary rug,
It's a magic rug that you can take on many journeys in your imagination.
So imagine now that you're sitting on this beautiful rug and it's time for an adventure and you're flying in the beautiful blue sky.
You are in charge and you're in total control of this magic rug.
And because it's magic,
The rug will do anything you want.
You're the boss and you're in total control.
And the rug takes you higher and higher up into the sky and you feel the warm wind brushing against your face and moving through your hair.
And the higher up you go,
The more comfortable you feel.
The higher up you go,
The more comfortable you feel.
And it's as if you're flying like a bird,
A bird above the earth and you can see so far.
As you go higher and higher,
The world below gets smaller and smaller.
You can still see the outline of fields with their bright yellow flowers,
Fields of green,
Other colours.
But as you look more closely,
Perhaps you can see a big white tent,
Just like the ones you see at a circus.
The tent is surrounded by lots of caravans and cars.
And there's a large cage with big black letters saying,
Keep out,
Tigers.
It appears to be a circus and you've spotted the tiger house.
I wonder how many tigers there are.
You can see the acrobats.
They are practising their routine for the performance later.
And there's a person juggling with balls.
And there's a tiger.
It's lying down,
Just resting for the performance later.
Just take a look around as you just glide on the wind and feel the breeze against your face.
I can't be sure exactly what you'll be experiencing,
But just look around and just notice what else you can see.
And in a moment,
You can fly down and return to the earth below.
Take control of your brightly coloured magic rug and begin your journey now.
Going down and down.
Down and down.
Guiding the rug down gently.
Guiding the rug down slowly.
Just drifting down and down through the air.
Getting closer and closer to the ground.
As you land safely and touch the ground,
A magical thing happens.
You find yourself in a fairground.
Your favourite friends at your side.
And you can see a red and white helter-skelter.
That's an amazing slide that goes round and round and round and round.
That's right.
A slide that goes round and round and round until you reach the bottom.
And so it would be fine for you to wander over to the slide.
Your friends following behind.
And begin to climb the stairs.
That's right.
Feeling the steep warm steps underneath your feet.
Higher and higher you go.
Up the stairs,
That's right,
As you travel in circles around and around up to the stairs.
As you travel in circles up the stairs,
Round and round you go.
Higher and higher.
Up and up.
And you see ahead the top of the slide.
And on reaching the top of the slide you look around and you notice the wonderful sights of the fair.
In a few moments time you will glide down the slide and as you go down the slide you will become sleepier and sleepier.
That's right.
As you begin to glide down the slide you will become sleepier and sleepier.
So just sit down,
That's right.
Pushing your legs out in front of you.
And then begin your descent.
Begin your journey now to the bottom of the slide.
Going down and down and down.
And the deeper down you go the sleepier you become.
Deeper and deeper.
The sleepier you become the deeper down you go.
And the slide just seems to go on and on and on.
And awaiting at the bottom of the slide is a wonderful world of fun and adventure which only you and your friends can enter.
A completely safe place where you can be safe and calm and have lots of fun.
And now you can begin to wonder what you will discover when you reach the bottom of this magical helter-skelter.
Down and down.
Down you go.
Deeper into sleep.
And there could be fairies,
Princesses,
Princes,
Magicians,
Perhaps wizards or your favourite animals.
Cuddly toys or cartoon characters.
This world is all yours and you can begin to discover how amazing your world can be.
In fact,
Every night when you go to bed you can wonder what adventure is awaiting you.
A magical,
Wonderful world of fun.
When you wake in the morning you will feel full of energy for the day ahead.
You can visit your magical world anytime just by gliding on your magic rug and taking the journey down the helter-skelter.
Down,
Down,
Down into your magical world of fun and adventure.
Who knows what fun awaits you as you drift deeper and deeper into sleep.
Only you can do that.
You are in charge.
Drifting down deeper and deeper into sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
