Hello and welcome.

It's time to snuggle in for soothing stories with Libby.

Tonight we have a special story.

We're going to visit a magical ice and snow wonderland and meet the Snow Queen.

But first let's make sure you're supremely comfortable and cozy.

Lying in your bed or somewhere else that's really comfortable make sure you have all your blankets and pillows you might need.

You can even pause this if you need to just for a moment to go and get your favorite teddy or your favorite pillow and I'll be right here waiting.

Okay now settling in make yourself so warm and so cozy and comfortable.

Imagine yourself in a beautiful snowy kingdom where the Snow Queen lives in her shimmering ice palace.

But before we get to our adventure we need to make sure you're completely relaxed.

I want to make sure that every part of your body is so relaxed that way you will be ready to take on all of the magic that's coming your way.

So let's check from your toes on your feet to the tip of your head and make sure.

I want you to think about your toes.

Give them a little bit of a wriggle.

Maybe give all of your body a bit of a wriggle if you need to.

Have a wiggle and a jiggle and get your jiggles out out of your system so that then you can settle in.

Are you ready?

Now you can be still so that you can be transported to a magical place.

So let's go to your toes.

Your toes are so relaxed.

Your feet so heavy and relaxed.

Your legs.

Let the muscles go.

Let them just fall into the soft support beneath them and relax.

Your hips.

Let them go.

Relax.

Your belly and your back and your chest.

Everything is so relaxed.

Your shoulders.

Your arms.

Relaxed.

Your hands and all of your fingers.

Relaxed.

Your neck.

Relaxed.

Your head and your face.

Everything is so relaxed.

Now it's time to take three deep breaths.

Let's do it together.

Okay.

Let's breathe in.

Hold and breathe out.

Oh gosh that feels so good.

Let's do it again.

Let's go.

Breathe in.

Hold and breathe out.

One last time.

Breathe in.

Hold.

Now breathe out.

Wonderful.

You are doing so well.

Now you can just let your breathing return to its natural rhythm and relax.

And now that you are absolutely relaxed there's one more thing that I would like you to do.

If there is anything at all that has worried you recently or that is on your mind that's made you nervous or sad or anything at all I want to take those thoughts and your worries and imagine putting them into a cardboard box.

You're going to put it all in a cardboard box so you don't have it in your head or your body anymore.

Your head and your body is completely free of any worries.

You've just put it in this box.

Now let's get some sticky tape.

Do you like using sticky tape?

This is in your imagination of course.

You just keep lying there relaxed but in your imagination you're gonna get some sticky tape and imagine getting the sticky tape and sealing the box really well.

Wow you are so good at this.

That's amazing.

Now we're going to get some pieces of string and tie it really well.

Tie it onto the box and attach it to the box and then to the string we're going to tie some helium balloons.

Wow now we've got a whole bunch of helium balloons attached to the box and oh my goodness we've put so much on.

What's happening?

The box is lifting off the ground.

It's lifting into the air.

You can see it going up.

Let's imagine we're outside with this box.

We're outside somewhere and the box is going up in the sky and you can feel any worry,

Any problems,

Anything that's ever worried you is moving away from you never to return.

Off into the sky getting smaller and smaller and smaller until you can't see it anymore and you don't feel it anymore and you feel so light and so free so happy and so peaceful.

Now that you've watched the balloons fly away with all your worries what should we do now?

Well it's time to go on our magical adventures with the Snow Queen.

Imagine you're standing in a snowy forest.

The snowflakes are gently falling all around you and everything looks like it's sparkling.

You feel the cold crisp air on your cheeks and you can see your breath as you breathe out.

That's so fun and it's so magical and peaceful here.

As you walk through the forest you see a soft glow ahead of you.

You walk closer and closer until you see the most beautiful ice palace you have ever seen.

It's shimmering and sparkling in the moonlight.

The doors of the palace open and out steps someone you recognize immediately.

It's the Snow Queen.

She smiles warmly at you and says hello there I've been waiting for you.

Would you like to join me on a magical adventure?

Oh my gosh of course you would.

You nod excitedly and the Snow Queen takes your hand.

Suddenly you're wearing the most beautiful glittering sparkly dress just like her.

It's blue and it's got snowflake patterns all over it and sparkles and it's got a beautiful long soft train on it and you just feel so magical and so wonderful.

Snow Queen takes your hand and you walk together into the palace.

Inside it's even more beautiful.

The walls and the floors are made of ice but it's not cold it's it just feels so right.

Snow Queen shows you around the palace and then she says would you like to learn how to perform some magic?

You can't believe it.

She's going to teach you a magic.

She shows you how to move your hands and how to focus your thoughts.

Your mind is so powerful and you were about to unleash all the power you didn't even know you had.

Or maybe you did know it was there somewhere but now it's time to find out what you can really do.

Wow you try it and to your amazement you create a beautiful ice sculpture.

It's sparkling and shining just like everything else in the palace but you made this.

The Snow Queen claps her hands and says you're a natural.

Let's try something even more fun.

She takes you outside and you both start to create ice slides and snowmen.

You slide down the ice slides together laughing and having so much fun.

The snowmen you make come to life and dance around you and sing.

It's the most magical experience you've ever had.

After a while Snow Queen asks you what would you like to do next?

You think for a moment and then say I'd like to sing like you do.

Her eyes light up with excitement.

That sounds wonderful what a great idea.

Let's magic up a stage together.

She waves her hands and then suddenly a beautiful sparkling stage appears before you.

The lights twinkle and you feel a warm glow inside.

Music begins to play and you and Snow Queen step onto the stage.

You start to sing together and as your voices harmonize magic flows from your fingertips.

Every note you sing creates something wonderful.

Ice castles,

Snowflakes,

Shimmering crystals.

The music crescendos and your powerful voices and magic match the dramatic tones perfectly.

It's exhilarating.

With each crescendo the stage transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland.

Snow swirls around you,

Castles rise from the ground and ice crystals rain down in a spectacular fashion.

You feel magic within you growing stronger and stronger.

As the music reaches its grand finale you and Snow Queen create a dazzling display of ice and light.

The crystals sparkle and dance around you creating a mesmerizing show.

You feel so amazed at your magic and your powerful voice.

Snow Queen turns to you with a proud smile.

You are truly amazing.

Always remember you have this magic inside you.

You thank Snow Queen for the wonderful adventure and she gives you the biggest hug.

You feel so happy and so peaceful.

After a while Snow Queen says it's time for you to head back now but remember you can come back here and visit me in your dreams every night whenever you want to.

All you have to do is really really relax,

Close your eyes,

Think of me,

Imagine this place and you'll be here.

Please say you'll come visit me again.

You nod and you give each other the biggest hug.

You thank Snow Queen for the wonderful adventure and she gives you another great big hug.

You feel so happy and peaceful.

You feel like you've made a friend for life and you have.

She's like an auntie to you.

You feel so close.

Such a strong bond.

Then the Snow Queen waves her hands and you find yourself back in your cozy bed.

You feel so relaxed and so warm and so grateful for the wonderful experience and the new friendship you've made and you know that you can visit whenever you want to.

In fact if you let your heavy eyelids close back down you can go back there right now in your dreams.

A smile plays across your lips and you allow yourself to drift off into your imagination.

Goodnight dear one.
