Hello,

How lovely that you're here.

Many children,

Big and small,

Are already asleep.

But you are still awake.

I understand.

It was a long day.

So much has happened.

You've been so busy.

So busy your thoughts are still running around.

Your thoughts and ideas are wonderful.

They make your day colorful and alive.

But now the night is asking you to gently let go of all those thoughts.

Let them drift away.

So the night can bring you a special gift.

You are invited to come on a wonderful dream journey.

And I'm honored to be your guide.

However,

In order to receive this gift and go on this beautiful journey,

You first have to tame your thoughts.

This is because we are going to travel by heart.

Yes,

Your heart is your dream ship.

It is the spacecraft vessel on this dream journey.

And as long as your mind keeps filling up the vessel with bouncy thoughts,

We are not ready for takeoff.

You are the captain.

You need to take control of your vessel.

You need to tame your thoughts.

Now you might think that you can't tame your thoughts.

They are not animals.

But believe me,

It works.

A long time ago there once lived a talented tamer.

He did not tame wild tigers or lions,

But thoughts.

For so many people could not sleep because their thoughts kept them awake.

They jumped and circled wildly in their heads.

They even bounced up and down on their hearts as if it was a trampoline.

So naturally people could not come to rest.

The thought tamer had pity on the people and explained to them how they could tame their thoughts.

Unfortunately,

Not many people heard his good instructions because most people's thoughts were so loud that his lovely words got lost in the noise.

Fortunately,

My thoughts were just quiet and so I could hear his secret and can tell it to you now.

The most important thing in taming thoughts is that we don't scold them.

They don't like that and start fighting back.

They may even try to damage our precious vessel.

Some thoughts often come to help,

Some are taking sides,

And again others come running and interfering.

And they may start to scold each other.

The whole thing becomes quite a mess.

We therefore proceed lovingly and kindly.

This is how the tamer recommended it,

Because he was a loving and kind tamer.

To tame the thoughts,

We look at them in a friendly,

Gentle and peaceful way,

He said.

For this we best close our eyes,

Then we can see the thoughts better.

To tame your thoughts you also need a few helping tools,

A big blue balloon and a gold pen.

But you don't have to get them,

You just imagine them.

That's even the very best,

Because thoughts follow your imagination,

And so you are already starting to tame them a little.

This is how the tamer recommended it.

Now slowly inflate your imaginary blue balloon.

When you inhale,

You feel your breath flowing into your belly,

Lifting it up.

And when you exhale,

You feel the air flowing out,

Into the balloon.

Put your hands on your belly for a while,

Then you will feel it even better.

Your tummy goes up when you inhale,

And down when you exhale.

And every time you exhale,

The balloon gets bigger.

This happens so naturally and easy.

Your breath flows in and out.

Your balloon grows and grows.

It is now wonderfully round and beautiful.

You gently twist the end of the balloon to tie a knot.

It's that simple with this blue balloon.

Most thoughts already curled up quietly in their sleeping places,

In the far corners of your mind.

But a few still have to be tamed.

For this you need your golden pen.

If you can write,

Write your first thought on the balloon.

All thoughts are welcome on this balloon,

Dark or light,

Gray or colorful,

Sad or happy.

Wild fiery thoughts are as welcome as quiet cool thoughts,

And small anxious ones as well as big courageous ones.

Now you choose a beautiful place for your first thought,

And write it,

So to speak,

Into the balloon.

If you can't write,

Then use your own secret writing,

Or paint the thought on your balloon.

Then you whisper,

Farewell.

If another thought comes your way,

Then write or draw this one too.

And you do the same for the next thought that comes along.

Each thought gets its special place on your balloon.

And each time you wish it farewell.

When you are finished,

Sign with love and your name.

Now it's time to release your balloon.

It will go straight to heaven with a divine balloon mail.

That's how the good tamer explained it to me.

He also promised that the balloon angels will take good care of your special balloon.

It is an honorable and important job,

And all the angels at the divine balloon mail are very skilled and highly trained to make sure every balloon arrives safe and sound.

I will count from one to three,

And on three you send your balloon to heaven.

One.

Two.

Three.

Send your balloon.

Let it fly up into the sky,

Higher and higher and higher.

You see how it becomes smaller and smaller and smaller.

It's sailing up towards the white fluffy clouds until you almost can't see it anymore.

Then it disappears behind a silvery feather cloud.

You suddenly see something tiny and shiny falling from this cloud,

Landing right in front of your feet.

It is a small golden star.

You pick it up,

And you see a glittering inscription right on it.

Thought Tamer.

First Prize.

A small pin is attached to the back.

When you put the star on your pajamas,

You suddenly hear wonderful music.

And from this music,

A soft voice floats to you and speaks.

I am your guardian angel.

I'm always with you,

Even if you may not be able to see me.

But you can always feel me.

My messages are hidden deep inside your feelings.

The closer you listen to your heart,

Better you can hear me.

We are almost ready to embark on our wonderful journey.

You just need to get your dream vessel into first gear.

The dream vessel is your heart,

Remember?

So the gears of your vessel are feelings.

You see how important your feelings are.

First gear of your dream vessel is the snuggle gear.

Any dream vessel starts in a snuggle gear.

The snuggle gear has a very warm and cozy feeling.

You may already notice how wonderfully cuddly it is in your bed.

Feel how your head is resting gently on your soft pillow.

And how cozy you are embedded under your warm blanket.

Can you feel how cozy and snuggly it is in your bed?

Gently check all the parts of your body.

And feel how the warm coziness is spreading everywhere.

Is there a spot where it feels different?

Just feel.

Feel your arms.

Your legs.

Your belly.

Your stomach.

Your hands.

You feel a warm feeling spreading.

Or does it feel rather cool?

Or different?

Everything is alright.

Just feel.

This is how you install the first gear.

Now feel your breath.

Feel how it slowly flows into your chest.

And then gently flows out again.

Every time you inhale and exhale,

You dive deeper into this gentle cozy feeling.

Until this feeling spreads through your whole body.

Reaching into all its corners.

Like wonderful gentle sun rays.

Until your whole being is all peaceful,

Safe and snuggly.

Let yourself sink deeper.

And deeper into this beautiful feeling.

You now feel totally snuggly inside.

This means your snuggle gear is installed.

Your guardian angel is so happy.

It now smiles at you and speaks.

Can you feel my silky wings of light?

Do you feel how they envelop you?

Like the radiant wings of a golden butterfly.

Look,

I'm opening my wings.

Now we will fly together to the land of your dreams.

I will carry you in my pouch of golden light.

See how it is stretched around my belly,

Like on a kangaroo.

If you like,

I can even take your whole bed with you in it.

My light pouch can be stretched to any size.

You may also travel on my back if you prefer.

Or fly next to me.

You can borrow my wings if you like.

I don't need them to fly,

Nor do you.

Humans can fly with their hearts.

Like us angels fly with our hearts of light.

Look,

We are already flying.

We are flying high up in the air into the fluffiest silver clouds.

We are flying right through them into a sea of twinkling stars.

Look there.

Can you see the golden castle behind the stars?

Do you see the beautiful shiny towers in the distance?

Let us fly towards them.

We are flying closer and closer.

We are so close now.

We are flying over the roof of the castle.

The roof is covered with gems,

Sparkling in all the colours of the rainbow.

How majestic and magical it looks.

We will land soon right in the middle of a wonderful green meadow behind the castle.

Look there.

Look at the countless colourful flowers growing there.

Can you see the butterflies dancing around them collecting their tasty nectar?

Look,

They noticed us.

They are flattering to say hello.

They are happy we arrived.

They are dancing their welcome dance for us.

Have you noticed the belt of enchanting trees surrounding this meadow?

So many different birds live in those mighty trees.

They chirp their melodies to greet us.

And can you feel the stars that shine all around us to warm us like a sea of summer suns?

The guardian angel now lands with you on this fairy tale meadow.

You suddenly realise how tired you are from the long journey.

You lie down in the starlit grass and rest.

You feel how warm and comfortable your body feels.

Because the light of the many stars has gloriously warmed the ground you are resting on.

In the distance you can hear the gentle murmur of a peaceful stream.

And the splashing of the crystal fountain that adorns the middle of this magical garden.

From this water music suddenly soft sounds arise which come closer and closer from all around.

Enchanting tones,

Bright and warm.

Crystal bells ringing.

Violins singing.

Suddenly there are so many beautiful sounds that create a wonderful symphony together.

They spring from a myriad of angels hovering over the meadow.

Singing and playing the heavenly instruments.

What a blissful music.

Your heart is bathing in the magic sounds of this heavenly orchestra.

And you feel so beautiful.

So peaceful and happy.

Your guardian angel sees how enchanted you are and whispers gently.

This is the earth through the eyes of love and light.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

Please take this special radiant feather of light to always remember our beautiful adventure together.

It is a miracle feather to remind you of your beauty and value should you ever forget how wonderful and precious you are.

This feather of light is connected to all the feathers in the universe.

Whenever you see a feather you may remember how lovable you are and that I am always there to protect,

Support and advise you in everything you do.

Whenever you think of this feather its magic power will warm your heart.

And just like the blue balloon it is always right there to serve you and so am I.

Without you everything would only be half as beautiful.

It is such an honor to be with you.

I will always be at your side.

I will now wrap you up and protect you with my radiant wings of light.

And we will listen to the wonderful music together.

The music of love and light.

Infinite blessings to you.

Blessings of love,

Light,

Peace,

Joy and abundance.

May you wake up to a wonderful new day tomorrow.
