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: Find a quiet space where you can sit or lie
down comfortably. Close your eyes and take a deep breath
in through your nose, allowing your lungs to fill completely.
Feel your chest expand and hold that breath for a moment.
Now slowly exhale through your mouth, releasing all the tension
of the day. Take another deep breath inhaling peace and tranquility,
and as you exhale, let go of any stress or worries.
Allow your body to settle into a state of calm.
As you relax, allow your imagination to guide you on
a beautiful adventure. Imagine yourself as Bert, a fluffy white
dog wandering through the sunlit streets of Madrid. You wake
up with the gentle warmth of the Spanish sun on
your fur, its soft rays filtering through the leafy branches
of the tall trees in the park where you usually sleep.
The faint scent of blooming jasmine and wildflowers drifts through
the air, mixing with the enticing aromas of fresh bread
baking from a nearby bakery. As you stretch your little paws,
feeling the soft grass beneath you, you shake off the
remnants of sleep. You feel alive. With a wag of
your fluffy tail, you begin your day. You trot over
to your favorite spot, a quaint little plaza bustling with
the sounds of laughter, conversations, and the distant chime of
church bells. The cobblestone streets are warm beneath your paws,
and the sun creates a golden hue around you. As
you enter the plaza, your first friend, Maria is there
to greet you. She's the sweet old lady who always
has a little treat tucked away in her apron. The
smell of her homemade cheiros wafts into your nose and
you can practically taste the cinnamon sugar on your tongue.
You rush over to her, your tail wagging furiously. She
kneels down, her eyes sparkling. Oh l abert, she exclaims,
reaching into her pocket to pull out a small piece
of truro. It's just for you. The moment you take
it from her hand, you can feel the warmth of
the sweet dough against your tongue, and as you chew,
the sugar dust makes your mouth tingle with delight. After
saying goodbye to Maria, you wander towards the park. The
sun begins to climb higher in the sky, painting everything
in vibrant colors. You stop to sniff the air deeply.
The scent of blooming roses fills your senses, lush and intoxicating.
In the shade of a large tree, you spot Pablo,
the young boy who loves to play He's sitting in
his garden, surrounded by colorful petals scattered across the grass.
As you run up to him, you hear him giggle
and excitement. Bert, come play, He shouts, his voice, bright
and jovial. You feel a rush of joy as you
leap into the garden, bounding through the soft grass with him.
The delightful feeling of the cool, soft blades tickling your
belly fills you with pure happiness. After a joyful session
of chasing after a bright red ball, Pablo's mother calls
him in for lunch, and you wander towards the nearby
florist's shop, your next favorite stop. Entering the shop, your
nose is filled with the fragrant mix of fresh flowers. Lily's,
daisies and tulips are artfully arranged, creating a symphony of colors. Donarosa,
the florist, always welcomes you with open arms. You feel
a soft hand petting your fluffy head while she takes
a moment to admire your beautiful coat, Bert, you look
lovely today. She reaches under the counter and pulls out
a small treat, a piece of dried meat just for you.
It has a rich savory aroma that makes your mouth
water as you nibble on it. Once your treat is devoured,
you bask in the warmth of the shop, surrounded by
the calming aura of flowers. You roll onto your back,
feeling the cool tile floor against your fur. Life feels
perfect in this moment. With the afternoon sun warming your back,
you decide to take a stroll by the river Mansonatis.
As you walk, the gentle breeze ruffles your fur and
you stop to look up at the trees lining the
river bank. The light filters through the leaves, creating dappled
patterns on the ground, and tiny insects dance in the sunlight.
Near the water's edge, you meet Elena, a cheerful artist
who often paints the beautiful landscapes of Madrid. She sets
up her easel with strokes of bright colors on her canvas,
and as she sees you approaching, she smiles, Oh, Labert,
want to join me today. You settle down beside her,
breathing in the fresh air mixed with the scent of
wet earth and blooming wildflowers. The sounds of the rustling
leaves above and the gentle flow of the river create
a symphony that relaxes you further. You can feel the
warmth of the sun on your fur and and the
soft earth beneath your paws as she paints. You enjoy
watching the colors come to life on the canvas. The
vibrant hues make you feel joyful and at peace, and
you take a moment to enjoy the sensation of being alive, free, curious,
and loved. As the sun begins to set, painting the
sky and hues of orange and pink, you make your
way back to the plaza. The hustle and bustle of
the morning has turned into a comfortable murmur as the
locals begin to wind down their day. It feels magical,
as if all of Madrid is embracing you as its own.
Carrying the sense of grilled meats and rich paillas from
your by restaurants, a feeling of hunger begins to gnaw
at your belly. There, just a few steps away is
your friend Wan, the owner of a small tapas bar Bert.
Come here, he calls, waving a piece of tortilla in
the air with a bark of excitement. You run over.
The warm tortilla has a rich, savory smell, and as
you nibble on your piece, it melts in your mouth,
filled with the flavor of fresh potatoes and a hint
of sweet onion. After your delicious bite, you lay down
on the cool tiles outside Wan's Bar, watching as the
people gather with laughter, sharing stories, food and companionship. You
feel a deep sense of belonging, the warmth of community
wrapping around you like a favorite blanket. As dusk settles
in the sky transforms into a canvas of twinkling stars,
it's time to head back to your favorite sleeping spot
in the park. You stroll through the winding streets of Madrid,
breathing in the cool night air, which carries the lingering
smell of freshly made churros from Maria's stan. You find
your spot under the twinkling stars, lying on the soft grass,
feeling a gentle night breeze ruffle your fur. Below the
night sky, the sounds of the city begin to lull,
replaced by the soothing rustling of leaves and the distant
twinkling of laughter echoing from the Tapas bar. You glance
up at the stars, so many of them, bright and
shimmering like tiny diamonds scattered above a feeling of tranquility
washes over you, letting you know that you are not
just a stray dog in Madrid. You are cherished, loved,
and part of something grand. In this moment, you reflect
on your day filled with joy and connection, a day
of delightful treats, warm sun, laughter, and play. You feel
the warmth of the sun still in your fur, the
sweetness of treats on your tongue, and the love of
your friends enveloping your heart. As sleep gently starts to
embrace you, focus on your breath Inhale deeply through your nose,
feeling your belly rise. Hold for a moment, and then
exhale slowly through your mouth, feel your body sinking deeper
into relaxation. You are Bert, a fluffy white dog in
sunny Madrid whose life is filled with love, adventure, and
the beauty of simplicity. Each day brings new experiences and friendships,
all bathed in light and warmth. Allow yourself to drift away,
knowing that wherever you go, be it a sunny garden,
a bustling plaza, or the calm shores of the river,
you are embraced by the love and kindness of those
around you. You are home when you're ready, Gently bring
your awareness back to your breath. Wiggle your fingers and toes,
