Fall Asleep With A Dog And A Unicorn

Welcome to Susu's meditation.

Tonight to help you fall asleep I will slowly guide you to a soft meditation.

Don't worry it is mostly relaxing.

Make sure you're all snuggled in your blankets to feel warm,

Comfy and safe.

Let's start by lying down on your back with your palms facing the sky.

Now let's begin.

Remember that the most important part in falling asleep is your breathing.

Let's practice together.

First,

Breathe in through your nose slowly and breathe out through your mouth even more slowly just like if you had to blow many birthday candles.

Let's do it together.

In out Now close your eyes and let's do it one more time.

Eyes closed.

In out Don't forget to keep a slow and relaxed breathing while listening.

With your eyes still closed let's try to fill your toes.

Can you move them slowly just to make sure they're still awake?

How about your legs?

Are they tense or are they relaxed?

Feel them.

Let's move up to your belly now.

Put your right hand on your belly to feel it breathing.

Is it moving?

It should be moving.

Now your shoulders.

Are they fully laying on your mattress or are they still wanting to hold your arms?

Make sure that they are relaxed.

You can always reposition yourself to have a better position for your body to fall asleep.

The neck.

Oh the neck is so strong.

But it needs to relax too.

Move your head slowly from one side to the other.

Let's start with the left side.

Place your face all the way on the side of your pillow and take a deep breath there.

Now let's move to the right side.

Turn your head and lay the right side of your face on your comfy pillow.

Take a deep breath here too.

Now let's do it again.

Slowly left right excellent.

Now let's explore your mind.

It is okay to have many thoughts coming and going.

Let them be there and wander for a moment.

What is on your mind right now?

Let's think about the best part of your day.

It doesn't have to be anything special or miraculous.

It can be very simple.

It can be something you learned or something you made.

It can be with a friend or a sibling.

It can be a moment with a parent.

It can be a new activity or even one that you do a lot.

It can also be something that you ate or something you tasted for the first time.

Or it can be helping someone or it can be right now,

Right here,

Relaxing.

Take a moment to choose the highlight of today.

Hold on to that beautiful thought.

Now let's think about a moment that made you feel a little less happy because a day is not always 100% perfect.

Otherwise it would be kind of boring.

So which moment today was harder for you?

Was it a conflict with someone or even a conflict with yourself?

Was it that you experienced a failure or there was something you couldn't do?

What is it?

Most of the time it is easier to find the perfect moment for you.

Most of the time it is easier to find this one because our mind is programmed to always want to be better and that's beautiful.

So did you talk to someone about it?

A parent,

A sibling or friend?

Did you ask for help when it happened?

Can you still ask for help?

There's so many people around you ready to help.

All they need is for you to ask.

Is there something you can still do about it in order to maybe fix it or do better tomorrow or any other day?

Think about it.

Now that your mind is mostly clear,

Let's listen to my voice until you lose track of it and fall asleep.

It was one beautiful sunny afternoon.

The sun shone bright in the magical forest.

Leaves were brightly green of healthiness.

The flowers were perfectly bloomed and it was even possible to find perfectly ripe fruit.

Although the fruit looked amazingly healthy and delicious,

Only one kind was allowed to eat.

The bananas.

In order to make sure all magical animals respected this rule,

There was one guardian of the forest.

A beautiful dog named Mia.

Mia looked very inoffensive but she was chosen as the protector for a reason.

Animals said that no one ever tried to trespass,

Not to provoke Mia.

Mia had one best friend in the magical forest.

This one absolutely flawless unicorn named Cotton Candy.

Cotton Candy had a white pearly coat with a shiny turquoise mane and tail.

Cotton Candy was admired by all magical creatures.

Mia and Cotton,

For short,

Always had amazing adventures together.

One afternoon,

Mia and Cotton were eating bananas together and they had this fabulous idea.

They wanted to organize a race for all magical creatures of the forest.

They started thinking about what they needed to organize the forest.

They started thinking about what they needed to organize the event.

First,

They needed,

Of course,

A start and a finish line.

Cotton had this bright idea of using banana peels instead of hurting the plants or trees to create the two lines.

So Cotton used her magic turquoise mane to attract the hungry monkeys.

The hungry purple monkeys were present within seconds and they were given hundreds of bananas to eat immediately.

Five minutes later,

The start and the finish lines were ready and really yellow.

Mia knew her barking could be understood by all animals since she was the chosen guardian.

So Mia started barking.

It sounded more like singing and barked again and again and again to announce the race.

Eventually,

A few fairies showed up.

Mia and Cotton were a little disappointed.

They really thought their idea was great and that the animals would make a strong showing.

But no,

Something was surely wrong.

Mia and Cotton decided to go for a watch walk to make sure everyone in the forest was safe and ready to race.

After a short moment of walking,

Talking and laughing,

Mia and Cotton realized that the forest was empty.

There really was something going on.

The two best friends started to think about options and solutions.

Cotton remembered that it rained a lot in the last few weeks.

Maybe the plants were soaked and the animals were trying to save them or maybe they were playing in muddy puddles.

So Mia and Cotton decided to head toward the lowest part of the forest where the water usually stays a lot longer.

One of the best ones they were almost there.

They heard big screams and many animals yelling fiercely.

Cotton and Mia started to run,

Afraid something bad was happening,

Only to find all the animals swimming together in a huge puddle,

Which was basically a pool.

The fairies weren't there because of their wings.

Everyone knows a fairy's wings can never be wet.

Mia and Cotton started laughing and felt relieved.

Seeing every animal safe and cheerful made the two of them very happy.

Then they decided to join the fun and jump in the pool with all their friends.

The race will be for another day they thought.

Can you imagine how many animals are swimming together?

Try to count them.

See how many you can find.

Oh,

Oh I see monkeys.

I see one,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Oh and five,

Six monkeys on the left side and they're playing with a huge coconut.

Oh look in the middle right there.

I see one,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Eight,

Seven,

Eight,

Eight,

Oh no nine,

There's another one,

Ten.

Ten beautiful swans floating gracefully in circles.

Oh let's see now on the right side it's harder to count.

I see long necks,

Necks of giraffes,

Many of them.

Oh let's let's try to count them.

How many can you count?
