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 comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Close
your gently. Take a deep breath in through your nose,
filling your lungs with air, feeling your abdomen rise. Hold
it for a moment. Now slowly exhale through your mouth,
releasing any tension you may be holding with each breath.
Allow yourself to sink deeper into relaxation. Inhale again, feeling
the fresh air surround you, and exhale, letting go of
all the worries of your day. As you sit or
lie here, let your mind wander. Imagine yourself in a
place where nothing matters except peace and joy. Allow your
imagination to paint a serene picture of a beautiful day
as we embark on an adventure with Alice in Wonderland.
With your next breath, picture a gentle shimmering light beginning
to glow in the distance. It beckons you forward, guiding
you through a lush, emerald green field. The grass is
soft beneath you, each blade tickling the soles of your feet.
As you walk. You take a moment to stretch out
your toes, feeling the earth's coolness. As you walk, you
catch a whiff of sweet blossoms in the air. Inhale, deeply,
allowing the fragrance of daisies and wild flowers to fill
your senses. The scent is pure, refreshing and invigorates your spirit.
In the distance, you can see a glow intensifying, and
soon you are standing before a large, whimsical door framed
with vibrant vines and delicate flowers. The door is painted
a bright blue with a small brass torknob that glimmers
in the sunlight. As you stand before it, you hear
a soft figgle and turn to see Alice, dressed in
her signature blue dress with a white apron, her eyes
sparkling with curiosity. Alo there, Alice says, her voice melodic
and warm. I've been waiting for you. Are you ready
for an adventure? You nod, feeling an infectious excitement flutter
in your chest. Holding out her hand, she invites you
through the door, which swings open effortlessly. You step into
a magical garden. The colors are more vibrant than you've
ever seen, and the flowers sway gently, as if dancing
to a soft melody. You can feel the warmth of
the sun on your skin and a light breeze that
carries the fragrance of jasmine and honeysuckle. Welcome to my garden,
Alice exclaims with glee. But oh, I need your help
with something very important. Will you help me? As you agree,
Alice leads you deeper into the garden. Together, you stroll
along a path lined with iridescent mushrooms, each one reflecting
a different color of the rainbow. The texture is smooth
and burn beneath your fingertips as you brush against one.
You come across a cluster of talking flowers, their petals
unfurling as they greet you. The intoxicating scent of roses
fills the air. As one flower reaches out a petal, Hello,
new friend, Would you like to smell our sweet nectar?
They sway enticingly. You lean closer, breathing in the rich,
soothing aroma of the blossoms. Alice kiggles, isn't it lovely here?
But we must hurry to find the cheshire cat. You'll
know how we can help. As you walk further, the
landscape begins to change slightly. Trees become taller, with knotted
trunks and canopies that filter the sunlight into soft golden rays.
You can hear the sound of soft laughter floating through
the air. Alice leads you to a large twisted tree
where the cheshire cat lazily hangs from a branch. It's
distinctive grin gleaming ah, Alice, and who do we have here?
His voice is smooth and enigmatic. This is my new friend.
We need your wisdom, Alice replies, the urgency in her
voice heightened the cheshire cat's grin widens wisdom. You say,
you need to venture further into the woods. Follow the
music and you will find the march Hare. His laughter
resonates like distant chimes. Thank you, You and Alice say
in unison. The warmth of camaraderie enveloping you. As you
continue on, you hear a delightful sound music, laughter, and
the clinking of teacups Guiding you forward. You emerge into
a clearing where a sprawling picnic unfolds. The air is
filled with the sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, mingling
with the warm aroma of tea. You see the march
Hare and the mad Hatter busy setting the table, complete
with mismatched teacups and whimsical decor. Flowers adorned in vibrant
colors adorn the table, draping as if they have come
to life. Welcome, we're having a tea party, the march
Hare exclaims, his eyes wide with excitement. Would you like
some tea? Alice smiles, Oh yes, Let's you sit down
at the table. Feeling the soft grass beneath you, tickling
your skin in the most delightful way. As you pick
up a delicate teacup, you feel the cool, smooth porcelain
in your hands. As the march Hare pours the tea,
you watch the steam swirl up into the air, gently
infusing the surroundings with a sweet, floral scent. You take
a sip, feeling the warmth spreading through you, hints of chambel,
mile and honey dancing on your tongue. Try the tarts
the mad Hatter encourages, sliding a plate your way. You
pick up a small berry topped tart, feeling the light,
flaky crust beneath your fingertips. As you bite into it,
the burst of fresh, juicy berries exhilarates your senses, the
sweetness leaving a contented smile on your face. After the
delightful tea party, you and Alice thank the mad Hatter
and march Hare. Now we must find the Queen of Hearts,
Alice says energetically. Walking through a beautifully manicured garden, you
see playing cards flitting about like butterflies. With a gentle
breeze brushing against your skin. The cards create a delicate
rustling sound as they play, their bright red and black colors,
a feast for the eyes. As you approach the center
of the garden, you find the Queen of Hearts, sitting
on a throne made of roses, each one emitting in
a rich, velvety scent. Who dares to enter my garden?
She demands, but her tone is playful. We come in peace,
your majesty, Alice exclaims, bowing slightly. I need your help
with something. The Queen raises an eyebrow, but soon breaks
into laughter. Well, if it's fun you seek, then join
us in a card game. You and Alice take seats
at the Queen's table amid the fluttering cards. The game
is lively. Cards dance and whirl around you, laughter filling
the air as the sunlight filters down through the leaves,
creating your own little spot of warmth. As you play,
you feel a flutter of excitement swimming through you. The
cards are animated, the expressions on their paper face is
full of character. The Queen's laughter rings out a sound
you can feel in your bones, vibrating with joy. There's
a moment where everything seems to paup and Alice leans
over to you, whispering, you're doing so well. Just remember
it's all about the fun. The Queen claps her hands together. Enough,
let's have a feast, and suddenly plates of scrumptuous delights
appear around you. Sweet buttery scomes, rich chocolates, and savory sandwiches.
The banquet before you is a rainbow of colors and
delicious aromas. The smell of warm buttery scomes wafts over
as you pick one up. The soft, flaky goodness crumbles
in your hands, and as you take a bite it
melts in your mouth, its sweetness laced with a hint
of jam more tea. The march hare giggles somehow reappearing.
You nod eagerly, delighted by the endless refills you eat
and drink, the laughter and merriment wrapping around you warm
in your heart. With each till delicious bite, you feel
wrapped in comfort, joy bubbling inside, radiating throughout your body.
As the sun begins to set, casting a golden hue
over wonderland, you lean back in your chair, feeling the
warmth surrounding you. The Queen raises her glass to friendship
and exploration. In this moment, you take a breath, feeling
the beauty of camaraderie, the flavors lingering on your palate.
With each inhale, you feel grounded, connected to the joy
radiating through you. Alice turns to you with a bright smile.
Thank you for sharing this day with me. You've made
it so special. After the feast, it's time to return.
Holding Alice's hand, you feel the warmth of her presence,
reassuring and comforting. As you walk back through the garden,
the scents, colors, and sensations begin to blend into a
soothing tapestry. You approach the blue door once more with
a collective hug. You promise to cherish this adventure. Alice
gives you a knowing wink. Whenever you need me, I'll
be here. You turn back toward the door, letting go
of her hand as you step through. Immediately, a sense
of calm washes over you. As the world starts to
shift back into focus. Take a deep breath in, savoring
the sweet residue of wonderland. Exhale slowly, allowing the memory
to rest gently in your heart. As you open your
eyes return to the present moment. Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated,
you carry a piece of wonderland with you, a sense
of tranquility, adventure, and the warmth of friendship that will
never fade. Whenever you feel the need, remember that you
can close your eyes and find your way back to
a beautiful day with Alice in Wonderland. As you complete
this meditation, gently stretch your body and slowly bring your
awareness back to your surroundings. Feeling calm and content, find
a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Close your eyes.

your lungs with air. Feeling your abdomen rise. Hold it
