Better mental health starts with Headspace

(footsteps treading) Hello, welcome to the Headspace Imaginary. Please step up and choose your method of travel. Dinosaurs. Wait and stand here. (dinosaur moaning) Hello dream travelers and welcome to the Headspace Imaginarium. From this special place, we can travel into our imaginations and visit the fantastical world of Slumberland, a land full of magical people and wondrous places just waiting to be explored. I'm Astrid the Aeronaut. Pleased to meet you. (digital prompting) An aeronaut is just a fancy word for a pilot, but instead of flying a plane, I fly a hot air balloon. Prepare for teleport. Setting course for hot air balloons. Tonight we are going to take a little cruise into the clouds and explore some new worlds. Please enter. (footsteps treading) Now, if you wouldn't mind climbing up into the big wicker basket. (wicker rustling) (gate sliding) It's surprisingly spacious in here. (wicker rustling) If you look up, you can see the inside of the striped balloon and all its bright colors. I can see purple, yellow, blue. How many colors of the rainbow can you see? Now if you wouldn't mind helping me light, my enchanted lamp will be off in no time. (burner gas exhausts) Can you feel the air in the hot air balloon getting warmer? (burner gas exhausts) It feels so cozy, like being wrapped in a warm blanket. As the air gets warmer and expands, it will help the balloon inflate. And when that happens, we will lift right up into the sky to visit Slumberland. First, to help fill the balloon with air, we need to take some deep breaths. Taking slow, gentle breaths will calm our minds and clear our heads, and help the balloon lift properly into the sky. Let's place our hands on our tummies and take a big breath in. Try it with me. Breathe in for four. 1, 2, 3, 4. (air gushing) And now let it all out with a big huff. (air gushing) Ooh, that's it. You're doing it. Let's go again. Big breath in. 1, 2, 3, 4. (air gushing) And out. (air gushing) Wow. We're starting to lift off. I can feel the hot air balloon rising. Another, in. For 1, 2, 3, 4. (air gushing) And out. (air gushing) Another, in. For 1, 2, 3, 4. (air gushing) And out. (air gushing) The balloon is almost full. Let's give it one last big breath. 1, 2, 3, 4. (air gushing) And phew! (hot air blasts) Huh, we're up. (digital twang ringing) Amazing job. Now that we're climbing up, do you see the silver treetops and grassy hills below? (breeze gently wafting) Wave to the sweet flowers on Earth blooming beneath us in the moonlight. Now we're floating nice and easy above the clouds. Can you see them drifting past us? (breeze gently wafting) Can you see shapes in the clouds? (burner gas exhausts) What else do you see around us? (burner gas puffs) You did it. Here we are in Slumberland. There are so many places to discover here by using...
