Speaker 1: Hello everyone, it's Lucy here. We have an exciting new
addition to this podcast. As well as our Friday Stories,
we will also be having an episode every Wednesday where
we will all go on a relaxing adventure together. The
wonderful thing about our minds is we can travel to
anywhere in the world we like. We can still experience
the warm sun, the gentle ocean tides, and the beautiful
nature that so many places can offer us. There's no
need to travel physically because we can travel there in
our minds and forget about any worries or issues that
we may be having in our everyday lives. We will
play this journey meditation twice, so if you choose, you
can experience the trip again. So sit back, close your eyes, relax,
take a deep breath in and out nice and slowly,
and let us take you on a lovely journey.
Speaker 2: Begin by finding a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down.
Allow your body to settle into the surface beneath you.
Take a deep breath, breath in through your nose, feeling
your abdomen expand hold it for a moment, and now
exhale gently through your mouth, letting the energies of the
day flow out of you. Close your eyes and let
your surroundings fade away. Picture a calming white light surrounding you,
soothing you with each breath you take. Now, with each inhale,
allow yourself to welcome relaxation, and with each exhale, release
any tension you may be holding. Let your mind become quiet,
your body heavy, and your spear open to the adventure
that awaits as you drift deeper into a gentle state
of relaxation. Imagine yourself walking through the London streets in
the late morning. The air is crisp and cool, filled
with the scent of dew on grass and the faint
traces of blooming flowers. The vibrant energy of the city
surrounds you, laughter, distant chatter, the sound of horse drawn
carriages passing by, and the rhythmic footsteps of pedestrians. You
find yourself arriving at two twenty one B Baker Street,
a quaint flat where the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes resides.
As you knock lightly, the door swings open and you
are greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere of the cozy office.
There's a soft crackle from the fireplace that promises warmth
on comfort. As you step inside, a wave of the
fragrant scent of pipe tobacco envelops you, mixed with the
faint notes of aged books and bustling life. You gaze
around the room, taking in the tall book shelf filled
with myriad volumes, a clutter of papers strewn about, and
the iconic silhouette of Sherlock Holmes himself hunched over his desk,
an expression of deep concentration on his face. Ah, my
dear assistant, he exclaims, his voice, rich and melodious, breaking
the stillness. I trust you are ready for an adventure
to day. You feel an exhilarating spark of anticipation in
your chest. You nod eagerly. Sherlock straightens up, pulling on
his dear stalker hat and wrapping his iconic scarf around
his neck. A dreadful theft has occurred, he explains, his
eyes sparkling with intelligence and mischief. The Queen's jewels have
gone missing, and I need your keen observation skills to
help me retrieve them. You follow him as he strides
purposefully toward the door. As you step outside, the chill
of the morning. Air kisses your cheeks, revitalizing you. The
scent of fresh pastries wafting from a nearby bakery filling
your senses with warmth and sweetness. First a pastry to
fuel our detective work. Sherlock smiles. You link arms, and
together you walk towards the bakery. As you enter the
cheerful little bakery, the atmosphere shifts. The warmth wraps around
you like a cocoon. The comforting scent of bread baking
envelops you while you see golden pastries gleaming in their
display cases. You must try the almond croissant, Sherlock suggests,
a twinkle in his eye. You agree, inhaling the buttery,
nutty aroma. You approach the counter and the delightful barista
greets you with a bright smile. The moment you take
a bite of the flaky, buttery croissant, it melts in
your mouth, the sweet almond cream filling dancing on your palate.
A sense of delight courses through you, and giggles escape
your lips as crumbs fall onto your shirt. Sherlock chuckles softly,
his enjoyment evident. With your stomach satisfied, you step back
into the cool London air, a soft breeze, refreshing your
skin and invigorating your spirit. Now, let us investigate, Sherlock declares,
with a hint of playfulness. You wander toward the nearby park,
where nature thrives amidst the city. Leafy trees sway gently
in the wind, creating a serene, rustling sound that harmonizes
with the laughter of children playing near by. As you stroll,
Sherlock points out intricate details, a single drop of dew
lingering on a leaf, the way the sunlight filters through branches,
casting and chanting shadows on the ground. You feel the soft,
cool grass beneath your shoes, its texture grounding you, reminding
you of the beauty in the little things. As you
sit on a bench, the physical world around you fades
away further. The fragrance of blooming flowers envelops you like
a sweet embrace, their colors dancing vibrantly in your vision,
a pallet of reds, yellows, and purples. Where do you
suppose the jewel thief might hide? Sherlock muses, shifting his
keen gaze toward you, with the question hanging in the air.
Take a moment to feel the warmth of the sun
on your skin and notice how it brings a sense
of calm and peace. Imagine reaching out touching a soft
petal of a nearby flower, its delicate texture awakening your senses.
A lamp post near by emits a faint, fresh scent
of varnish. This simple detail remind you that mysteries often
lie in everyday life. You feel relaxed and engaged, embodying
the myriad sensations around you. Suddenly, a loud squawk pulls
your attention. A flurry of birds takes off from a
nearby tree, and you and Sherlock share quite a laugh.
The world feels vibrant, alive, and welcoming, a reminder of
this simple joys that surround you on your detective journey.
Sherlock's brow furrows in thought. I believe we need to
gather more information, he says, adjusting his hat to the
tea shop. Following him, you inhale the pleasant aroma of
earl gray in chai wafting through the air as you
enter the quaint little tea shop. The deep wood gray
interiors and stained glass windows offer warmth. You settle into
a plush banquette, the upholstery soft against your back. A
waiter comes to take your order, and you can't resist
trying the lemon scone with clotted cream. As you indulge,
the creamy, tangy sweetness fills your senses and you savor
the comforting warmth of your freshly brewed tea. The flavors
meld together beautifully, and you feel a soothing warmth spreading
through your body. While you sip your tea, Sherlock converses
with a couple of patrons, inquiring if they've noticed anything
peculiar recently. You listen closely, absorbing their stories and the
vibrant atmosphere of the tea shop. Embracing the cozy community
that surrounds you with gathered insights, you feel a sense
of purpose igniting inside you. Sherlock's energy is contagious. Together,
you leave the tea shop, the sun shining brighter in
the afternoon sky, reflecting your joyful spirits. You walk side
by side, sharing theories about the thief and discussing possible motives.
Each conversation flows effortlessly, the connection between you strengthening with
each word exchanged. As you traverse the lively streets, take
in the soft fragrance of fresh cut flowers from nearby vendors,
and the slightly tangy aroma of fish and chips sizzling
from a shop. Now and then find your fingers grazing
against the surfaces of buildings, feeling the rough brick and
smooth stone connecting you to the history of this vibrant city.
Sherlock suddenly halts, amidst the hustle and bustle. The thief
could be anywhere, or perhaps right in front of us,
he says, with a sly grin. Curiosity pequed, you follow
Sherlock down a cobblestone alley, where he pauses, raising his hand.
There's a fleeting movement at the end, and both of
you exchange intrigued glances. As you approach, You feel excitement
bubbling within you, the adrenaline of your adventure pulling you forward.
You and Sherlock stand side by side, ready to unveil
the mystery hiding around the corner. Suddenly, a fluffy, mischievous
cat scurries past, a glint of light catching your eye,
the unmistakable sparkle of something precious tucked around its collar.
Sherlock's eyes widen with a twinkle the Queen's jewels, he declares,
a mix of awe and delight coloring his voice. After
a playful chase through the winding streets and successful retrieval
of the jewels, you find yourself back at two twenty
one b Baker Street, the atmospheres bursting with triumph and laughter.
The warm embrace of satisfaction envelops you, making each moment
sparkle in your memory. You and Sherlock share a cup
of tea to celebrate the cozy setting, bringing the sense
of togetherness. The taste of victory blends seamlessly with the
rich flavors of your tea, while the sounds of London
in the distance hum softly, creating a serenade that warms
your heart. As the sun begins to set, painting the
sky in soft shades of pink and orange, you mentor
the most cherished lesson adventure is brightest when shared with
a kindred spirit. The day draws to a close, and
as you step outside Baker Street for the last time,
you feel a serene calmness wash over you. The smell
of the cool evening air fills your lungs, the fading
sun illuminating the path ahead. Take this moment to reflect
on the joy and laughter you experienced, the bonds you cultivated,
and the peace found in meaningful moments. Breathe deeply now,
