Hello,
This is Carrie.
And either you can be lying back,
Or even sitting if you like.
But with those eyes closed,
Taking a few slow,
Deep breaths.
It's time to get quiet.
It's time to become so still.
It's like you're frozen.
And you're so still.
So quiet.
Your breathing slows down.
The body relaxes.
As the muscles begin to soften and loosen its grip.
And you can just be you in this moment.
So peaceful.
So quiet.
And still.
And notice how you feel now.
It feels nice,
Doesn't it?
So just be so quiet and still.
So peaceful and calm.
As if you're floating on a cloud.
Away from it all.
Up there.
Safe and secure.
Loved and adored.
You are very relaxed.
Aren't you?
It feels like you are drifting off to sleep.
You know what?
I know a secret about you.
You are a great person.
It's true.
There are times when you might feel sad or angry.
And that's normal.
Everyone feels that way every once in a while.
But we are not focusing on those feelings today.
We are focusing on the fun and positive feelings.
So let's think about your average day.
Think about what you do when you're at home and when you're at school.
Think about the different people you talk to.
You talk to your family,
Your friends,
The teachers.
Maybe you even talk to an animal or the animals.
You are very nice to everyone around you.
Your friends enjoy playing with you.
Because you are a lot of fun.
And you share.
And you are a very nice person.
You're nice and kind to others.
And you know it's important to be nice and kind to others.
Your family loves you.
You are caring.
And you do things like chores without being asked.
You do a really good job with your chores.
And you do a really good job at school.
You are a hard worker.
And your family and teachers see that.
Your parents want the best for you.
They want you to grow up,
To be nice to others,
And to always do the right thing.
To listen to your heart and follow your heart.
And you always do the right thing.
Because you know the difference between right and wrong,
Don't you?
And you know sometimes we do make mistakes.
But that's how we learn.
You are very good at the things you do.
Maybe you really enjoy sports.
Or maybe you really enjoy reading,
Singing,
Dancing,
Drawing,
Building,
Creating.
Maybe even cooking or gardening.
There's so many things to learn,
To explore,
To do and create.
Because you are smart.
You give a lot of thought toward your actions.
You are a very responsible child.
You take pride in your schoolwork and in being a good person.
You are responsible for your things.
And for helping people.
You like being responsible.
Because it makes you feel like you have accomplished great things.
You do nice things for people without being asked.
And those people that you do nice things for really appreciate it.
And they really like you.
You are a good person.
Because you,
You are sweet and you are kind.
You are considerate.
You are cooperative.
And you are patient.
And you choose your words wisely before you speak.
Because you know words are not for hurting.
You are genuine and kind.
You are thoughtful and caring.
And many people think highly of you.
You are very talented.
You have many hopes and dreams for your future.
You make things happen because you are talented and smart.
And you put all your abilities to good use because you know that you matter.
And what you do,
What you say matters.
And so as you lay here,
Quiet and still.
Being so sleepy,
So relaxed.
You can let all these words to softly settle into your mind and heart.
So you can sleep good tonight.
Sleeping so peacefully and soundly.
Safe and secure.
Peaceful and relaxed.
Feeling nurtured and appreciated.
Because you are nurtured and appreciated.
Here in this very moment.
Right now.
And so sleep sweetie.
A deep peaceful wonderful sleep.
Sweet dreams.
Night night my friend.
Here in this very moment.
You
