[0:11] Speaker 1: Hello everyone, it's Lucy here. We have an exciting new
[0:16] Speaker 1: addition to this podcast. As well as our Friday Stories,
[0:21] Speaker 1: we will also be having an episode every Wednesday where
[0:25] Speaker 1: we will all go on a relaxing adventure together. The
[0:30] Speaker 1: wonderful thing about our minds is we can travel to
[0:35] Speaker 1: anywhere in the world we like. We can still experience
[0:40] Speaker 1: the warm sun, the gentle ocean tides, and the beautiful
[0:46] Speaker 1: nature that so many places can offer us. There's no
[0:52] Speaker 1: need to travel physically because we can travel there in
[0:56] Speaker 1: our minds and forget about any worries or issues that
[1:03] Speaker 1: we may be having in our everyday lives. We will
[1:08] Speaker 1: play this journey meditation twice, so if you choose, you
[1:15] Speaker 1: can experience the trip again. So sit back, close your eyes, relax,
[1:24] Speaker 1: take a deep breath in and out nice and slowly,
[1:32] Speaker 1: and let us take you on a lovely journey.
[2:00] Speaker 2: Find a quiet space where you can sit or lie
[2:03] Speaker 2: down comfortably. Close your eyes and take a deep breath
[2:09] Speaker 2: in through your nose, allowing your lungs to fill completely.
[2:18] Speaker 2: Feel your chest expand and hold that breath for a moment.
[2:23] Speaker 2: Now slowly exhale through your mouth, releasing all the tension
[2:36] Speaker 2: of the day. Take another deep breath inhaling peace and tranquility,
[2:48] Speaker 2: and as you exhale, let go of any stress or worries.
[3:00] Speaker 2: Allow your body to settle into a state of calm.
[3:05] Speaker 2: As you relax, allow your imagination to guide you on
[3:09] Speaker 2: a beautiful adventure. Imagine yourself as Bert, a fluffy white
[3:16] Speaker 2: dog wandering through the sunlit streets of Madrid. You wake
[3:21] Speaker 2: up with the gentle warmth of the Spanish sun on
[3:24] Speaker 2: your fur, its soft rays filtering through the leafy branches
[3:28] Speaker 2: of the tall trees in the park where you usually sleep.
[3:33] Speaker 2: The faint scent of blooming jasmine and wildflowers drifts through
[3:37] Speaker 2: the air, mixing with the enticing aromas of fresh bread
[3:41] Speaker 2: baking from a nearby bakery. As you stretch your little paws,
[3:48] Speaker 2: feeling the soft grass beneath you, you shake off the
[3:53] Speaker 2: remnants of sleep. You feel alive. With a wag of
[4:00] Speaker 2: your fluffy tail, you begin your day. You trot over
[4:05] Speaker 2: to your favorite spot, a quaint little plaza bustling with
[4:09] Speaker 2: the sounds of laughter, conversations, and the distant chime of
[4:15] Speaker 2: church bells. The cobblestone streets are warm beneath your paws,
[4:22] Speaker 2: and the sun creates a golden hue around you. As
[4:26] Speaker 2: you enter the plaza, your first friend, Maria is there
[4:30] Speaker 2: to greet you. She's the sweet old lady who always
[4:33] Speaker 2: has a little treat tucked away in her apron. The
[4:37] Speaker 2: smell of her homemade cheiros wafts into your nose and
[4:41] Speaker 2: you can practically taste the cinnamon sugar on your tongue.
[4:44] Speaker 2: You rush over to her, your tail wagging furiously. She
[4:48] Speaker 2: kneels down, her eyes sparkling. Oh l abert, she exclaims,
[4:55] Speaker 2: reaching into her pocket to pull out a small piece
[4:58] Speaker 2: of truro. It's just for you. The moment you take
[5:03] Speaker 2: it from her hand, you can feel the warmth of
[5:07] Speaker 2: the sweet dough against your tongue, and as you chew,
[5:13] Speaker 2: the sugar dust makes your mouth tingle with delight. After
[5:20] Speaker 2: saying goodbye to Maria, you wander towards the park. The
[5:27] Speaker 2: sun begins to climb higher in the sky, painting everything
[5:31] Speaker 2: in vibrant colors. You stop to sniff the air deeply.
[5:37] Speaker 2: The scent of blooming roses fills your senses, lush and intoxicating.
[5:43] Speaker 2: In the shade of a large tree, you spot Pablo,
[5:47] Speaker 2: the young boy who loves to play He's sitting in
[5:51] Speaker 2: his garden, surrounded by colorful petals scattered across the grass.
[5:57] Speaker 2: As you run up to him, you hear him giggle
[6:00] Speaker 2: and excitement. Bert, come play, He shouts, his voice, bright
[6:06] Speaker 2: and jovial. You feel a rush of joy as you
[6:12] Speaker 2: leap into the garden, bounding through the soft grass with him.
[6:17] Speaker 2: The delightful feeling of the cool, soft blades tickling your
[6:21] Speaker 2: belly fills you with pure happiness. After a joyful session
[6:28] Speaker 2: of chasing after a bright red ball, Pablo's mother calls
[6:31] Speaker 2: him in for lunch, and you wander towards the nearby
[6:35] Speaker 2: florist's shop, your next favorite stop. Entering the shop, your
[6:41] Speaker 2: nose is filled with the fragrant mix of fresh flowers. Lily's,
[6:46] Speaker 2: daisies and tulips are artfully arranged, creating a symphony of colors. Donarosa,
[6:54] Speaker 2: the florist, always welcomes you with open arms. You feel
[6:59] Speaker 2: a soft hand petting your fluffy head while she takes
[7:03] Speaker 2: a moment to admire your beautiful coat, Bert, you look
[7:09] Speaker 2: lovely today. She reaches under the counter and pulls out
[7:14] Speaker 2: a small treat, a piece of dried meat just for you.
[7:21] Speaker 2: It has a rich savory aroma that makes your mouth
[7:25] Speaker 2: water as you nibble on it. Once your treat is devoured,
[7:30] Speaker 2: you bask in the warmth of the shop, surrounded by
[7:34] Speaker 2: the calming aura of flowers. You roll onto your back,
[7:40] Speaker 2: feeling the cool tile floor against your fur. Life feels
[7:47] Speaker 2: perfect in this moment. With the afternoon sun warming your back,
[7:53] Speaker 2: you decide to take a stroll by the river Mansonatis.
[7:57] Speaker 2: As you walk, the gentle breeze ruffles your fur and
[8:02] Speaker 2: you stop to look up at the trees lining the
[8:05] Speaker 2: river bank. The light filters through the leaves, creating dappled
[8:11] Speaker 2: patterns on the ground, and tiny insects dance in the sunlight.
[8:17] Speaker 2: Near the water's edge, you meet Elena, a cheerful artist
[8:21] Speaker 2: who often paints the beautiful landscapes of Madrid. She sets
[8:26] Speaker 2: up her easel with strokes of bright colors on her canvas,
[8:30] Speaker 2: and as she sees you approaching, she smiles, Oh, Labert,
[8:37] Speaker 2: want to join me today. You settle down beside her,
[8:41] Speaker 2: breathing in the fresh air mixed with the scent of
[8:44] Speaker 2: wet earth and blooming wildflowers. The sounds of the rustling
[8:49] Speaker 2: leaves above and the gentle flow of the river create
[8:52] Speaker 2: a symphony that relaxes you further. You can feel the
[8:57] Speaker 2: warmth of the sun on your fur and and the
[9:00] Speaker 2: soft earth beneath your paws as she paints. You enjoy
[9:04] Speaker 2: watching the colors come to life on the canvas. The
[9:09] Speaker 2: vibrant hues make you feel joyful and at peace, and
[9:15] Speaker 2: you take a moment to enjoy the sensation of being alive, free, curious,
[9:25] Speaker 2: and loved. As the sun begins to set, painting the
[9:31] Speaker 2: sky and hues of orange and pink, you make your
[9:35] Speaker 2: way back to the plaza. The hustle and bustle of
[9:39] Speaker 2: the morning has turned into a comfortable murmur as the
[9:42] Speaker 2: locals begin to wind down their day. It feels magical,
[9:50] Speaker 2: as if all of Madrid is embracing you as its own.
[9:55] Speaker 2: Carrying the sense of grilled meats and rich paillas from
[9:59] Speaker 2: your by restaurants, a feeling of hunger begins to gnaw
[10:04] Speaker 2: at your belly. There, just a few steps away is
[10:08] Speaker 2: your friend Wan, the owner of a small tapas bar Bert.
[10:14] Speaker 2: Come here, he calls, waving a piece of tortilla in
[10:18] Speaker 2: the air with a bark of excitement. You run over.
[10:22] Speaker 2: The warm tortilla has a rich, savory smell, and as
[10:28] Speaker 2: you nibble on your piece, it melts in your mouth,
[10:32] Speaker 2: filled with the flavor of fresh potatoes and a hint
[10:35] Speaker 2: of sweet onion. After your delicious bite, you lay down
[10:39] Speaker 2: on the cool tiles outside Wan's Bar, watching as the
[10:43] Speaker 2: people gather with laughter, sharing stories, food and companionship. You
[10:50] Speaker 2: feel a deep sense of belonging, the warmth of community
[10:54] Speaker 2: wrapping around you like a favorite blanket. As dusk settles
[10:59] Speaker 2: in the sky transforms into a canvas of twinkling stars,
[11:05] Speaker 2: it's time to head back to your favorite sleeping spot
[11:08] Speaker 2: in the park. You stroll through the winding streets of Madrid,
[11:14] Speaker 2: breathing in the cool night air, which carries the lingering
[11:17] Speaker 2: smell of freshly made churros from Maria's stan. You find
[11:22] Speaker 2: your spot under the twinkling stars, lying on the soft grass,
[11:28] Speaker 2: feeling a gentle night breeze ruffle your fur. Below the
[11:33] Speaker 2: night sky, the sounds of the city begin to lull,
[11:37] Speaker 2: replaced by the soothing rustling of leaves and the distant
[11:41] Speaker 2: twinkling of laughter echoing from the Tapas bar. You glance
[11:46] Speaker 2: up at the stars, so many of them, bright and
[11:52] Speaker 2: shimmering like tiny diamonds scattered above a feeling of tranquility
[11:58] Speaker 2: washes over you, letting you know that you are not
[12:02] Speaker 2: just a stray dog in Madrid. You are cherished, loved,
[12:09] Speaker 2: and part of something grand. In this moment, you reflect
[12:15] Speaker 2: on your day filled with joy and connection, a day
[12:20] Speaker 2: of delightful treats, warm sun, laughter, and play. You feel
[12:27] Speaker 2: the warmth of the sun still in your fur, the
[12:31] Speaker 2: sweetness of treats on your tongue, and the love of
[12:36] Speaker 2: your friends enveloping your heart. As sleep gently starts to
[12:41] Speaker 2: embrace you, focus on your breath Inhale deeply through your nose,
[12:50] Speaker 2: feeling your belly rise. Hold for a moment, and then
[12:57] Speaker 2: exhale slowly through your mouth, feel your body sinking deeper
[13:03] Speaker 2: into relaxation. You are Bert, a fluffy white dog in
[13:10] Speaker 2: sunny Madrid whose life is filled with love, adventure, and
[13:16] Speaker 2: the beauty of simplicity. Each day brings new experiences and friendships,
[13:23] Speaker 2: all bathed in light and warmth. Allow yourself to drift away,
[13:32] Speaker 2: knowing that wherever you go, be it a sunny garden,
[13:37] Speaker 2: a bustling plaza, or the calm shores of the river,
[13:42] Speaker 2: you are embraced by the love and kindness of those
[13:46] Speaker 2: around you. You are home when you're ready, Gently bring
[13:54] Speaker 2: your awareness back to your breath. Wiggle your fingers and toes,
[13:59] Speaker 2: feeling ground did in the present. Slowly open your eyes,

[14:10] Speaker 2: rest of your day. May you always feel the joy
[14:15] Speaker 2: of being burnt. Now must day find a quiet space
[15:15] Speaker 2: where you can sit or lie down comfortably. Close your

[15:33] Speaker 2: and hold that breath for a moment. Now, slowly exhale
[15:40] Speaker 2: through your mouth, releasing all the tension of the day.
