Well hello little traveler, Today is the day, You're flying up high and going far away. The airports are busy with sounds all around, Rolling bags, Voices, And engines that hum loud sounds. So let's take a moment to slow things down and help your brave heart feel calm all around. Breathe in through your nose, Slow and deep, Like smelling warm cookies fresh from the oven to keep. Then blow the air out, Steady and slow, Like making a bubble you don't want to let go. Again, Breathe in calm and breathe out slow. Feeling your body relax as you go. Soon you'll sit in your seat with your belt clicked tight and the plane will start moving for its journey in flight. You might feel a rumble or a bump as you rise, But airplanes are strong, Built to soar through the skies. The pilots up front know just what to do, And many kind helpers are taking care of you. Now imagine the plane is a big friendly bird, Lifting you gently without saying a word. Up through the clouds, Soft and white, Floating so smoothly in bright open light. If your tummy feels funny or your heart beats fast, Take a slow breath and the feeling will pass. You are brave, You are safe, And you're doing just fine. This big sky adventure is so divine. Feel your body grow cozy, Relaxed in your chair. As the plane glides along through the cool, Quiet air. Take one more breath in, Slow and deep, And breathe out softly, Peaceful asleep. You're ready now, Calm and strong for the ride, With excitement and wonder, Right here by your side. Namaste.
