Javier The Dream Keeper - Children's Meditation Story

Are you ready to meditate with Kari?

Are you ready to be very,

Very still?

Try and be quiet so that your body can relax.

It's time to let go of all of your worries and all of your stressors,

To prepare yourself for bed.

Javier was a very well-known adventurer.

He liked to travel the world far and wide.

He was known all over the world as the Dream Keeper.

Some people called him Dr.

Dreamy,

But his name was Javier.

But everyone else knew him as the Dream Keeper or Dr.

Dreamy.

Javier got this reputation because he went from town to town,

City to city,

Traveling all over the world to help people to stop having nightmares.

That was his job.

And that,

My friends,

Was his magical power.

Javier himself suffered from nightmares for years and years and years as a child.

So now he was a little bit older.

He turned things around and discovered something,

A secret.

It was almost like something magical,

But something also that always helped and always worked.

Anybody and anything to stop having nightmares.

Javier had just arrived in Giraffe City.

Giraffe City was a place far,

Far away,

A city that wasn't very well known.

Only special people like Javier knew about the city.

And also,

Only people that had a very deep soul connection to giraffes knew about this place.

And that's why Javier knew.

He loved giraffes,

And the word had spread far and wide about Dr.

Dreamy's talents and how he could help people or animals with their nightmares.

The king of Giraffe City,

King Giraffe,

And his wife,

The queen,

Queen Giraffe,

Were very worried about the city.

The city had turned dark and grey.

All the tiny giraffes were having nightmares.

All the moms and dads were having nightmares.

Everyone,

Including the king and the queen in the city,

Were having bad dreams at night.

It was a very sad place because everyone was so sad.

They were tired and scared because they didn't want to go to sleep because the dreams were so bad.

When he arrived there,

Everyone had dark circles under their eyes.

All of the giraffes were gloomy and tired,

And the long necks were hanging low.

Everybody just wanted to go to sleep and have nice dreams.

The king and the queen held a town meeting,

And in that town meeting,

Javier,

The dream keeper,

Was going to tell them all about the secret that he knew that would stop everyone from having their bad dreams.

Every single giraffe in the town turned up that day.

No one wanted to have these dreams anymore,

So everyone wanted to know his secrets.

First of all,

Javier greeted everyone and said hello.

He'd already met so many young giraffes and old giraffes just walking through the city,

Chatting with people,

Saying hello,

Getting to know them.

He was such a friendly,

Kind person,

Such a friendly,

Kind,

Sweet,

Sensitive boy.

Everybody instantly liked him and trusted him.

When he got on the stage in the middle of the city,

He said,

What I'm about to tell everyone is exactly what I did for myself.

It seems very,

Very simple,

But you have to trust me,

And you have to believe in the dream keeper.

All of the giraffes went very,

Very still and quiet.

They were desperate,

Anything,

Anything that could help them to stop the nightmares.

I am known as the dream keeper,

Said Javier.

Some of you call me Dr.

Dreamy,

But I am known as the dream keeper because I have my very own dream keeper.

Let me explain.

Everyone still listened.

The whole city was quiet.

You could hear a pin drop.

It was so quiet.

This is the answer to my secret.

Every night when you go to sleep,

You lay in bed and relax.

You make sure that you're comfortable and the light is just right.

Then you close your eyes.

You put your hands over your heart.

Javier showed the people.

He put his left hand on his heart and his right hand on his heart,

And he crossed his hands over his heart.

You take in a big deep breath and you ask for your dream keeper to not let in bad dreams.

Just like this,

He said.

Dream keeper,

Keep out all bad dreams.

Keep out all nightmares.

Only letting good dreams,

Happy dreams and safe dreams.

He opened his eyes.

All of the giraffes,

All of the giraffeies.

That's because every giraffe in Giraffe City was called giraffeie.

All of the giraffeies looked at him.

Try it now with me,

He said.

They all sat down so that they could use their legs to cross them over their hearts.

Giraffes have got very long legs.

It was a little bit awkward for some of them,

But they managed it.

They held their heart,

Took a nice big deep breath.

Most important,

They trusted him.

Trust me,

He said.

Don't forget to trust me.

Say it out loud or say it in your head,

Said Javier.

Dream keeper,

Don't let any bad dreams in tonight.

Keep out the nightmares,

Dream keeper.

Only good dreams can come into my mind.

I welcome in good dreams.

All of the giraffes copied what he was saying.

Some of them said it out loud.

Some of them said it in their heads.

It didn't matter,

It was still just as magical,

Still just as powerful.

That night when every giraffe in Giraffe City went to sleep,

They did exactly what the dream keeper told them to do.

After all,

Javier was well known all over the world.

He was known for keeping the nightmares away.

Why should they not trust him?

They all did what he said,

And every single giraffe in Giraffe City had a nice dream that night.

The next day in the city,

Everyone was coming up to Javier.

We didn't have any bad dreams,

It was so nice,

We had nice dreams.

Thank you so much,

Thank you so much,

Thank you so much.

One of the giraffes said,

But what if it only works when you're here?

What happens when you leave town?

Then what?

Do all our bad dreams come back?

All of the giraffes that were close by heard this.

The king and queen heard it.

Oh no,

Said the king,

Is that true?

Javier said,

Listen,

All of you listen.

You do not need me to be your dream keeper because you each have your own dream keeper.

Your dream keeper lives inside of your heart.

Your dream keeper is with you from the day you're born.

He keeps you safe,

But you have to ask him.

You have to talk to him and tell him exactly what kind of dream you want.

Otherwise he just trusts you and lets you have whatever dream you're having,

Good dreams and bad dreams.

So from this day forward,

Talk to your dream keepers.

Tell your dream keepers,

No more bad dreams.

Keep out the nightmares,

Only happy good dreams.

The whole city clapped and applauded.

It was good to know that they could do it themselves,

That they didn't need Mr.

Dr.

Dreamy or the dream keeper or Javier.

They just needed to trust in themselves and believe in the dream keeper.

Everyone has a dream keeper,

Everyone.

From the day that we're born,

Me,

You,

You,

You,

Every single one of us.

Not just Javier.

Remember,

Javier didn't know about his dream keeper for the longest time and he had terrible nightmares.

It wasn't until he discovered the dream keeper and decided to travel the world until all the girls and boys,

All of the animals,

The giraffes,

The lions,

The elephants,

Everyone that has bad dreams that they don't need to.

They can have good dreams,

They just have to ask for them.

When Javier finally got home from his travels,

He settled down in his bed,

Surrounded himself with all of his own personal giraffes.

Because,

As I said,

He had a very deep soul connection to giraffes.

And he had many,

Many,

Many,

Many,

Many,

Many,

Many,

Many,

Many giraffes.

These stuffies were all different sizes.

He snuggled into them,

Made sure he was completely safe and comfortable and warm,

Turned the lights so that they were just right,

Put his hands over his heart,

Took a big deep breath,

Connected to his own personal dream keeper and said out loud,

No more nightmares tonight,

Keep out the nightmares,

Dream keeper,

No bad dreams,

Only good dreams for me tonight.

He relaxed his body,

Got super,

Super comfortable,

His legs got heavy,

His arms got heavy.

He knew he was safe,

Nothing to be afraid of.

He had the power in his own hands.

Now he knew all along that he could stop the bad dreams himself.

He trusted himself.

He believed in himself.

His head got heavy and relaxed.

His whole body super comfortable and sleepy and so,

So heavy.

He said eventually he fell to sleep and had the bestest giraffe dreams that he'd ever had.

He dreamed he visited a city called Giraffes City.

He was a superhero there.

Dr.

Dreamy,

The dream keeper.

He helped everyone to have the bestest dreams.

No more nightmares,

Ever again.
