Hello little explorer.
Would you like to take a journey with me tonight?
A wonderful journey into a very special rainbow.
Me too.
But first, shall we say goodbye to the day we've had?
It's been another big day of adventures, hasn't it?
So let's start letting it go.
Ah, that's better.
So, how are you feeling right now?
How is your body feeling?
Being a brave little explorer takes a lot of energy and can bring up a lot of feelings, can't it?
I know.
And that's why it's so important to take a moment to slow down.
Letting your body and mind fully let go of the day.
Shall we do that first before we head off into the rainbow?
Let's begin.
Start by closing your eyes and lying very still.
Snuggle into your bed.
Notice how safe and comfortable you feel.
Now let's send a message to each part of our body that it's time to let go and relax.
Breathe in and feel your feet relax.
And breathe out.
Breathe in and feel your legs relax.
And breathe out.
Well done.
Now breathe in and feel your belly relax as you breathe out.
Now breathe in and feel your arms and your hands relax.
Nearly there.
And finally, breathe in, and as you breathe out, feel your face and your head relax.
Ah.
Well done, little explorer.
It's so important to always let the day's feelings go before you sleep.
And that's exactly what you just did.
Now, are you ready to go on a magical journey?
Yes?
Tonight, we're travelling up, up, up into a rainbow.
But not just any rainbow.
It's the rainbow of feelings.
A rainbow of the most beautiful colours you've ever seen.
And when we're there, we're going to choose a special colour to float through.
We may even discover a special gift that we can take back home with us.
Sounds pretty special, doesn't it?
Are you ready?
Okay.
Imagine you are reaching out for the string of a big balloon that is floating just above you.
And look, our big balloon tonight is a bright, shiny red.
Are you holding onto the string, nice and tight, because here we go.
The balloon is lifting us up and up, high above our bed, up above our home, rising higher and higher above our city, our country, right up into the sky.
Wow.
Feels pretty amazing to be floating and gliding through the air, doesn't it?
And look Up ahead is the most beautiful, vibrant, colourful rainbow I've ever seen.
Wow.
And can you feel that, little explorer?
We are slowly and gently floating over to it.
Our big red balloon is pulling us closer and closer.
Wow.
We are getting so close now.
I can feel the colors of the rainbow dancing on my skin, warm like sunshine, and it looks like we are going to go inside the rainbow.
How magical our red balloon is pulling us into one of the colors.
Can you guess which?
One little explorer That's right.
Red.
The same colour as our balloon.
The colour red is all around us.
In front.
Behind.
Above.
Below.
It's like floating through a big red cloud or being wrapped up in a big red snuggly blanket.
What does red feel like to you, little explorer?
Does it have a temperature?
Is it warm or cool?
Hmm.
What about a smell?
What does the colour red smell like to you?
Imagine breathing it up into your nose.
Is it a strong smell or a soft smell?
What about when the red touches your skin?
What does it feel like?
Imagine it swirling around you, gently touching your cheeks and arms and legs.
Is it smooth like silk or rough like sand?
And how does it make you feel inside, little explorer?
Some people say red can make you feel brave and strong.
Does red make you feel brave or strong?
Or maybe red makes you feel something else.
This is your colour red.
So whatever you feel is okay.
As long as it makes you feel good.
Hmm.
Did you pick something special?
Well done.
Now let's take that feeling and imagine wrapping it up in the red color and then placing it inside your heart, where you can feel it and you use it whenever you need to.
So let's take a big breath in.
And imagine your heart filling up with the color red.
And as you do that, you Fill yourself up with that special feeling.
Wow.
Well done.
You now carry that little ray of colour in a special rainbow inside your heart.
Ready and waiting for whenever you need it.
All you have to do is remember the colour and you will feel brave in your heart.
Another little explorer superpower.
So you can bravely go back out into the world again tomorrow.
Ready to explore another day.
Okay, now we have our colour.
It's time to return to our beds.
Let's hold on to our big red balloon again.
And this time, let it pull us gently back down, down, down.
Back down into our homes.
And into our beds.
Warm and safe and ready for sleep.
Waking up in the morning. happy and ready to explore the world again tomorrow.
Good night, little explorer.
Thank you.
