Lie down on your back and let your legs go floppy.

Lay your arms by your sides with your palms facing the sky and close your eyes.

Breathe in through your nose and feel your belly rise.

Breathe out and sink deep into your soft,

Soft bed.

Breathe in and breathe out.

You are safe.

You are comfortable.

And with every breath you are relaxed.

I am going to name all of the different parts of your body.

You don't have to do anything.

Just listen.

And when your mind moves to each part,

Think of a shining light there.

Whatever colour you want at each part that I name.

Your feet.

Your legs.

Your tummy.

Belly button.

Your heart.

Your shoulders.

Neck.

And your chin.

Your mouth.

Nose.

Cheeks.

Ears.

Your eyes.

And your whole face.

To the top of your head.

On one side of your body.

Your big toe.

Your other toes.

Your foot.

Your ankle.

Your lower leg.

Your knee.

Your upper leg.

Your hip.

On the side of your body.

Your hand.

Your thumb.

All of the other fingers on your hand.

Your wrist.

Your arm.

Your elbow.

Your shoulder and your ear.

Now we go to the other side.

Your big toe.

Your other toes.

Your foot.

Your ankle.

Your lower leg.

Your knee.

Upper leg.

And hip.

Side of your body.

And your other hand.

Your thumb.

And all of the fingers on your hand.

Your wrist.

Your arm.

Your elbow.

Shoulder.

And your ear.

Both of your feet.

Both of your legs.

Your belly button.

Your heart and your shoulders.

To the top of the head.

Shining bright colour.

Completely made up of bright shining colour.

Imagine now that you are walking through a forest.

There are leaves crunching under your feet.

And trees all around you.

The sun is setting in the sky.

There are big trees.

Tall trees.

Short trees.

Small trees.

Trees as big as buildings.

And trees as tiny as twigs.

There are green trees.

Brown trees.

And yellow trees.

Some are even purple.

Blue.

And pink trees.

There is magic in the air.

You keep walking until you find an opening in the forest.

Where the night sky shines in.

Beams of moonlight glowing and glittering.

There,

In the middle,

Is a sleeping dragon.

You walk slowly up to it and you can hear it breathing.

What colour is this dragon?

As you get closer,

The dragon opens its eyes.

Blinks twice.

Tilts its head to look at you.

You are not afraid.

This dragon is your friend.

Takes a yawn and a stretch.

And smiles at you.

A smile back.

Magic.

You reach out to touch your new friend.

And you feel its skin.

Are there shiny scales?

Or soft and fluffy fur?

How does your dragon feel?

The dragon lies down so that you can climb on top.

Feel warm and comfortable.

Safe and loved.

Slowly,

Two giant wings unfold and stretch out far to each side of you.

One.

Two.

Three.

And with a beat of your dragon's wings,

You are flying.

Up over fields and villages of houses.

Above the treetops,

You can see how the leaves move in the wind.

Over the ocean.

Hear the waves crashing and flowing.

The moon is big in the sky,

Shining beautiful silvery light over everything that you can see.

Mountains that touch the sky.

Up into the clouds.

Where you and your dragon float peacefully.

Gently flying through the night.

Stars sparkling above you as you sway through the night time sky.

The clouds are beneath you.

Soft,

Fluffy.

Drifting through the night sky with your new friend.

You are warm.

You are comfortable.

And you are safe.

You are happy.

And you are loved.

You drift off into a deep,

Peaceful sleep.

Dreaming of adventures in the sky with your new magic.

New friend.
