This book is designed to be read to your child. As you read it, take the time to pause so that your child has time to form images to the words. This is a great bedtime story and the more it is read, the better success your child will have healing themselves. This book is based on guided imagery and by changing the thoughts in the mind, it possible to change the body. I have inserted this symbol into the text where a pause should be taken(*). Doing the visuals in your own mind, while reading the book, will help you to know how long to pause for and when it is appropriate.
Have your child lay down in a comfortable position. If this position is uncomfortable for your child, they can sit.
Begin Reading the following text to your child using a calm and soothing voice. Remember to allow your child time to imagine what is being read to them.
Gently close your eyes.* Now, take in some deep breaths.* Feel the air all the way down in your belly and let it out.* Breathe in again very slowly and let it out just as slow.*
We are ready to go on your healing journey.*
Imagine your hands stretching out to the sky.* Feel them stretch up higher and higher.*
Now, imagine your body following your hands, traveling up through the night sky.* Your body feels like it is floating as the night air touches your skin.* As you float up higher and higher, you can see the stars more clearly,* and the moon gets brighter and brighter, lighting the way.*
As you continue to float through the night sky, you feel safe. The stars seem to say hi as they twinkle when you float by.* Higher and higher you go.* Your body feeling lighter and lighter as you continue to climb into the night sky.*
Just ahead you notice a door, not an ordinary door, but one that is shining with light.* It is beautiful and you move close enough to touch it.* The door is open as you slowly move through it to the other side.* As you move through it, you feel sunshine.* It is the most perfect warmth that you have ever felt*
Welcome to this magical land.* As you look around, you notice colors that you have never seen before.* Everything is more vibrant.* The flowers are like nothing you have ever seen before.* And they are dancing to the most soothing music you have ever heard.*
As night sets in, little lights appear all around you.* You feel so good here.** The moonlight lights up everything and the little lights get closer.* As you watch them dancing around you, you notice something unusual about them.***
You begin to see fairies all over this magical land.*** They are here to heal you.** Breathe into your body and find places within you that are in pain or need healing.*** The fairies are telling you that by giving them your pain, discomfort, and hurt;* the land they live in will become more beautiful.** Your sickness helps the plants grow big and bright and helps the flowers keep their beautiful colors.* It is okay for you to let go of any pain or illness now.** As you breathe out, give this magical land what you no longer need in your body.***
Continue to breathe into your body.* If you feel any other pain, illness, or discomfort – let it go…*** Deep breaths in and long breaths out.* Keep breathing like this until you feel you are done.****
You are now ready to come home.* Thank the fairies for helping you.** The moon shines bright for your journey back home.* Floating through the stars and the clouds; back into your bed you go.** Take a deep breath.* Wiggle your toes and move your fingers.*** Remember that you can come back to the land of the fairies anytime you like.* They are always there.* When you are ready you can open your eyes.** Thank you for taking this journey with me.
