S1E60, NIGHT Hot Air Balloon (R)
[INTRODUCTION]
Taes: Hello, my name is Taes and I am so happy to be here with you at the very end of our day to say goodnight.
It is just such a good time to think back on what happened today on how we felt throughout the day and just wind down together.
Are you ready?
Me too.
I love knowing all day long that I get to see you and hear about how your day was and how you're feeling.
So, first of all, I just wanna say, thank you so much for being here with me.
[HOT AIR BALLOON]
Taes: Once you have done all of your bedtime business, make sure that you brush your teeth, put on your pajamas, said goodnight to everyone you love, come on back. Grab your favorite stuffy. Grab your favorite blanket and get nice and cozy.
Tonight, we are going to do a big heart balloon meditation. And this big heart balloon meditation is going to make you so sleepy and ready for bed. So, can you get nice and cozy and close your eyes?
And I want you to imagine that in front of you flying through the sky is the most beautiful hot air balloon you have ever seen.
And this hot air balloon is in the shape of a heart.
And this hot air balloon is made up of all of your favorite colors. Can you imagine, what does your hot air balloon look like? You can decorate it however you want.
And it's floating through the sky, getting closer to you.
And you realize that it is going to land right in front of you. And there you are standing with the most beautiful hot air balloon.
So you open up the door, and you get inside of the basket. And then you see that all of the people that you love are coming, too.
So inside the basket comes all of the people that you love, all of the animals that you love, and anyone else you wanna put in there. Who is in your big heart balloon? Imagine them in there right now.
And the big heart balloon starts going up. And it goes up and up and up. And it feels so relaxing to be with the clouds. And you look down and you see all of the world below you. And there you are, surrounded by all of the people you love, and all of the people who love you.
Take a big deep breath in, and let it out. And just feel yourself getting more and more relaxed.
And you lie your head on somebody's shoulder. And they maybe start giving you a little back scratch. And you feel safe and you feel loved and you feel ready to have a nice sleep with happy dreams.
And in the morning you will get out of the hot air balloon, bringing all of the people that you love and move into your day.
But for now, be inside of this beautiful space with the clouds surrounding you.
[CLOSING]
Taes: Thank you to you for being here with me.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning.
Have an amazing sleep with lots of happy dreams.
Remember, there is nobody in the whole world with a heart just like yours.
I love you. And I love your big heart so much.
