Hello, little explorer.
Have you had a good day today?
Have you been on any adventures?
I'm sure it's been amazing.
Big day for you.
There's so much to see and do in this world, isn't there?
Especially when you're a little explorer like you.
What was your favourite part of the day today?
Was it in the morning when you first woke up?
Or was it during the day when you were out on your adventures?
Or maybe it's right now, snuggled in bed.
Whatever it is.
Enjoy thinking about your moment now, as you lie here in your bed, getting nice and cozy.
Noticing and remembering favorite moments in your day is such a great thing to do before you go to sleep.
It helps us look at the good things in life.
Spending time looking at the good things makes us happier explorers through life.
And there really is so much good in the world.
And a little magic too.
Would you like to experience something magical?
Okay.
But first...
Let's relax our bodies and minds.
And the best way to do that is to connect with our breath.
Ready?
Let's start with pulling the air into your nose.
And then blowing it gently back out again from your nose.
And again, pull it into your nose.
And then gently blow it out from your nose again.
Can you feel that?
Can you actually feel the air come in and then go out?
Did you notice that when you pull it in, it feels a little cold?
And then when you blow it gently out, it feels a little warm.
Let's try again and see if you notice.
Pull the air into your nose and notice the temperature.
And blow it gently out and notice the temperature.
See?
Did you feel it?
Well done.
Let's do it a few more times to really relax our body.
Pull in, cold.
Blow out, warm.
Pull in, cold.
Blow out, warm.
And one last one. in cold and blow out warm.
Well done, little explorer.
Now we're ready for our journey.
Tonight, we're going to travel to a magical place where everything is not as it seems.
A place filled with magic, but only for people who can see it.
Would you like to see it, little explorer?
Would you like to see magic?
Are you ready?
Okay, first, make sure you have your explorer backpack on.
You're going to need that.
Then let's hold on to the string of our magical balloon and let it lift us up and up and up, high above our bed and our homes, of our city and our country, all the way up into the sky.
Doesn't it feel amazing to be floating through the air like Now, let's gently float back down.
Down, down.
Landing softly on the ground.
Oh, look where we are, little explorer.
Tonight we have travelled to a place that you know really well.
A place you spend a lot of time in and a place that you love to go to.
Where is that for you?
You can choose anywhere you like.
Maybe it's your daycare.
Your school?
Your grandparents' home?
Do you have somewhere in mind now?
Okay.
Now, look around you.
Notice all the things that are familiar.
The walls, furniture, the windows, just the same as you remember.
But what if you could see this place with new eyes?
What if you could look at it a little differently?
What do you think we would see?
Maybe you would see something new or discover some new secret wonder.
Let's give it a try.
Inside your backpack, you have some magical glasses.
And when you put these magical glasses on, guess what?
You will suddenly see things a little differently.
Let's try it.
Reach around into your backpack now.
Pull out your magical glasses and let's slowly put them on.
Now take a look around you.
Oh wow, the place that you know so well looks a little different.
It's more sparkly and there is a glow around every.
That's not all.
Your magic glasses will help you to see a hidden magic door.
A door that leads to your happiest memory.
Where in your room could that doorway be?
Ooh, what about there in the corner?
Can you see a glowing doorway?
A little door that you've never seen before, just big enough for you.
Shall we go through and see where it leads?
Reach out and turn the door handle.
It's a whole different room filled with light.
And what's in this room?
What do you see?
What is your happiest memory?
Maybe you see your favourite toy.
Or a friend that you love playing with.
Or maybe it is a memory of a special time with your family.
That's the power of your magic glasses.
They can help you see a way through to happy times whenever you need them, helping you to remember that when you need to, you can always put them on and be able to see things in a new and different and better way.
Isn't that magical, little explorer?
Let's keep looking around for a little longer.
Wow, wasn't that magical?
Okay, it's time for us to go back now, back to our beds for a beautiful night's sleep.
Let's go through the magical door to our balloon.
And remember, we can come back to our magical doorway anytime we want.
Now let's put our glasses on and grab hold of our balloon string again, letting it lift us back up up up, floating all the way back to our homes, floating down into our beds and under the covers.
Warm and safe and ready for a long and restful sleep.
So we wake up in the morning healthy and happy and ready to explore the world again tomorrow.
Good night, little Explorer.
Thank you.
