Welcome to this mindfulness journey created just for you.
My name is Laurie Jane and I'll be guiding you through a few gentle minutes to help your body and mind slow down and to connect with some magic.
It's time to rest now.
I know you've had such a busy day,
So let's go on an adventure and take a magical walk into a garden where the flowers glow,
The air is filled with sounds of fairies' wings and your feelings are waiting to say hello.
And when we reach the middle of this beautiful garden,
You will find a special wishing well where I will invite you to make a magical wish.
So let's begin by first snuggling into our bed and getting nice and comfortable.
Gently closing our eyes,
You can let your arms rest beside you.
And if you have a favourite crystal,
You can hold this while we go on our adventure together.
Just feel your body start to relax as a wave of calm washes over you.
Let's start by taking a slow breath in and gently blowing it out.
Let's do that a couple more times.
Breathing in and then gently blowing it out.
And one more time,
Breathing in and gently blowing that out.
Now all you have to do is relax and just listen to my voice and let your imagination run wild.
Are you ready to journey with me?
Well let's go.
I'd like you to imagine you are standing at a path that is covered in smooth stones.
You are surrounded by the most beautiful flowers and trees and lots of grass on either side of the path.
As you're walking along this path,
We look down at your bare feet and they are connecting to Mother Earth.
She is also supporting you along your journey today.
You look ahead and there are some magical and golden gates.
You can't wait to reach them.
And as you reach these beautiful and tall ancient looking gates,
They begin to open just for you.
You are not frightened as you are joined by a glow bug.
This glow bug is here to guide your journey and light the way.
You have now arrived at the Garden of Feelings.
Where every flower holds a feeling and where you can receive healing just from their vibrant colours.
Every feeling is welcomed.
With your glow bug just in front of you,
You follow them into the garden.
They lead you towards a big big tree.
It looks very old and wise and is covered in vines and little tiny flowers.
At the very bottom,
You notice a small wooden door.
So tiny,
It looks like it was made just for fairies.
You gently knock at the door and it opens.
And there is the most adorable fairy.
She looks at you and smiles.
She says welcome to the Garden of Feelings.
I have something very special just for you.
She comes out of your little house,
Takes you around the corner where there is a golden coin.
She says take this golden coin and when you reach the wishing well,
Hold it in your hand nice and tight and make a wish and then throw it into the well.
You thank this little beautiful fairy and hold tightly onto this coin.
And as you continue along the path,
You are greeted by yet another glow bug.
She is yellow and she brings joy.
She is wonderful and happy as she flutters around you.
She lands on your shoulder and says joy is a sparkle in your heart.
Remember the things that make you smile.
A little further along,
You find a fairy of sadness sitting beneath a blue drooping flower.
Her wings still glistening like raindrops.
And she stares at you and says sadness is like gentle rain.
It helps your heart grow and it's always okay to cry as they are special raindrops.
And next we find the red-winged glow bug and this is the glow bug of anger.
As he lands lightly on your shoulder,
He says anger means something matters to you.
You can breathe with it and keep it safe until you're ready to speak.
And then finally we meet the fairy of calm resting on a silver lily.
Her voice is soft and quiet.
As she says calm is always inside you even when other feelings are showing up.
The glow bugs and fairies now gather around you,
Guiding you to a moss-covered stone well at the heart of the garden.
This is the wishing well the fairy was talking about.
You look into your hand and you still have the golden coin.
It is now time to make your wish.
It can be anything.
Tell your wish to the coin and when you're ready throw it into the well.
Did you throw it into the well?
Great!
Now know that your wish has been heard.
The fairies and glow bugs thank you so much for visiting them at the garden and listening to your feelings.
They remind you that you can return here anytime,
In your heart,
In your mind and even in your dreams.
You walk back along the garden path and you find the golden gates again waiting for you.
Your fairy and glow bug friends,
They light the way.
And as you walk through those big gates you feel calm,
Liked and loved.
Let's take a slow breath in and just sigh it out again.
Today your feelings are welcome and through this journey we've learned today if you feel sad that's okay and if you feel angry that's okay but if you feel happy that's okay too.
And if you just feel calm,
Well that's okay as well.
Thank you so much for joining me on this journey and I can't wait to share the next one with you.
Ka kite anō.
Until then,
Keep shining as your light is your magic.
Bye for now.
Laurie Jayne
