Music Children's Meditation Nap Time Mystery Island Adventure Hello and welcome to this story at the end of your day.

Start to get comfortable in your bed and let your eyes close.

They may feel like popping back open and that is okay.

Just try your best to let them stay closed without scrunching your face up.

It is time to start relaxing and it is better to let your eyes be open than to try to squeeze them shut.

Take a deep breath in,

Filling your belly and your chest all the way up with air.

When your belly and chest are full up,

Sigh out all that air,

Letting a big sighing sound come out of your mouth.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Doesn't that feel good?

You can do the same thing again if you want.

Filling your tummy and lungs up with air and then letting it all whoosh out.

Maybe your eyes feel a little heavier now,

Just a little bit more like they want to sleep.

If not,

Don't worry,

Just enjoy the feeling of being still.

When you have a day full of playing and learning,

It feels nice to just be cozy for a little while.

The time you spend resting now will help you grow up big and strong and will give you lots of energy for tomorrow.

So,

Let your body soften,

Relax and enjoy the nice feelings your sleeping space gives you.

You are warm and cozy in your little bed,

Surrounded by your favorite blankets in a quiet,

Safe place.

Close your eyes and let yourself snuggle a little further into your covers.

Your clothes or pajamas feel so nice against your body and your blankets are soft and warm.

Your pillow is fluffy and your bed is just the right amount of bouncy for your back and shoulders.

As you lay here,

You can smile because you know you are safe and warm in bed.

Nothing will harm you.

Take another big breath all the way to the bottom of your belly.

And when you are ready,

You can sigh it out,

Feeling the way your stomach deflates like a balloon.

If it feels nice,

You can take another deep breath and sigh it out.

Doing this helps you calm down before falling asleep.

When you are done with these big breaths,

You can let your breathing be as fast or as slow as you want.

Let it feel natural so you don't have to think about it.

It's nice here in your room.

You are safe and cozy in your bed.

Feel how your arms and legs are getting warmer and heavier.

With every breath you take,

You can feel your limbs getting more and more tired.

You can imagine your feet getting heavier as if you were putting on a pair of thick winter boots.

Your fingers are warm as they curl a little bit into your hands.

Let this heavy feeling stay with you because the warmer and cozier you get,

The closer you get to an exciting,

Imaginary adventure.

As your legs seem to sink further and further into your mattress,

You can imagine yourself pretending to stand up and walk to your bedroom door.

Even though what you are imagining seems real,

You know that you are still in your bed in real life.

Since you know that you won't really leave your bed,

You can feel safe and cozy all night long.

Besides,

You know that something exciting is waiting for you.

When you open your bedroom door,

You find yourself looking out at a beach.

The sand is bright and warm looking,

And you can see the waves of a bright blue ocean washing across the yellow sand.

It is warm here like during the summer.

Even if in real life it might be spring or fall or winter,

Here in this imaginary place,

You can make the temperature as warm or as cool as you like.

You are in charge of your imagination and you are about to go on an adventure looking for hidden treasure.

Look a little closer at the beach outside your bedroom door.

You can start to see something waiting there for you with big white sails and a silver anchor.

That's right,

There is a pirate ship waiting for you,

The pirate ship that you are in charge of.

Your only job right now is to see if you can find the hidden treasure.

Let yourself walk across the beach and up the ladder or wooden walkway to the ship.

Once you are on board,

You can see that everything is ready for you.

The steering wheel is ready to go and a spyglass for looking long distances is laid out on a little table beside a real live treasure map.

Look carefully at this treasure map.

Is there an X that marks the spot?

There is right on top of an island.

You are the captain of the ship and your job is to sail to the island and find the treasure.

Once you've found the spot on the map where the treasure is buried,

You can go up to the steering wheel and get ready to sail for the mystery island.

When you are ready,

Tell the ship to go and feel how it moves right away.

You are in charge of deciding how fast to go and in what direction,

So let yourself follow the map as you get closer and closer to the buried treasure.

It isn't long before you see the sandy beach and green palm trees of the island.

Finish steering your ship to the island and when you are ready,

Put down the anchor and climb to the land.

The sand is warm under your feet and you can hear the sounds of tropical birds in the background.

Use your adventurous skills to look at the treasure map and find your way to the place where it is buried.

The sand is warm under your feet and you can hear the sounds of tropical birds in the background.

The sand is warm under your feet and you can hear the sounds of tropical birds in the background.

The sand is warm under your feet and you can hear the sounds of tropical birds in the background.

The sand is warm under your feet and you can hear the sounds of tropical birds in the background.

When you get to the spot marked by an X on the treasure map,

You find that there is a shovel waiting for you.

You start digging,

Making a little pile of sand as you uncover a big wooden treasure chest.

You are almost there.

Soon you have the whole box uncovered.

The treasure chest even has your name on it.

You can open the treasure chest if you want and see what's inside.

The treasure chest is hidden in the sand.

You can open the treasure chest if you want and see what's inside.

The treasure chest is hidden in the sand.

You can open the treasure chest if you want and see what's inside.

Now that you have found the treasure,

The high seas are yours to explore.

If you want,

You can walk around the island and see whatever else might be here.

Or you can head back to your pirate ship and sail off in search of an adventure.

Whatever you decide to do,

You know you are safe and that you will have fun.

You are a fearless explorer and nothing will stand in your way.

Enjoy!

Now that you have found the treasure chest,

You can head back to your pirate ship and sail off in search of an adventure.

Reviews

I'm always looking for stories here to help lull me to sleep. This one was great! Everything about it; the voice, the music, the relaxation exercises, the yummy feeling of snuggling into the covers, the explanations of why the limbs feel heavy, why the deep breaths work, why sleeping is so important to grow up strong and healthy.

So many of the stories, either the storytellers voice is annoying, or the music is obnoxious , or they miss out on the importance of those pre-story relaxation exercises.
I'll bet most kids are already asleep before you even get to the story and finally the imagery of walking to the door and seeing the beach ⛱️ when they open the door. The last I remember was digging for the treasure.

It was the best video ever.

This helps my kiddo so much with winding down and falling to sleep! Thank you ❤️

This meditatiin was so beautiful! I found myself asleep sitting next to my munchkin. More, please!
