Hi and welcome to Peace Out, stories for calming down and relaxation.

Today we're boarding an airplane and using our imaginations to fly through the sky and across the ocean.

This is your captain Chanel speaking and this is the final boarding call.

It's wheels up time. Let's fly!

This time we ask all passengers to sit in an upright position on the floor or on their bed.

Roll your shoulders back and lift your chin so that it is parallel to the ground.

Beautiful.

Close your eyes now and imagine where in the world you'd like to travel to as we do the calm down count down before take off.

Take a deep breath in as I say each number, breathing out long in between.

Ready for takeoff?

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

When a plane is taking off, wheels up means that as the plane lifts up into the air, the wheels move and tuck into the plane during the flight.

Bring your knees up to your chest and give them a hug holding onto your elbows or wrists or clasping your hands together, whichever is more comfortable.

If you'd like, begin to rock gently from side to side.

And now give your knees one more tight hug and release.

You can stretch your legs out in front of you and give them a wiggle and then lie down on the ground or on your bed.

Close your eyes again and stretch your arms straight out so that they're like airplane wings.

Imagine you're flying across the blue blue sky.

It's cooler up here and you're zooming past the wispy white clouds.

Feel the cool air rushing past your face.

Let's take a deep breath in through our nose.

Feel your belly filling up and now breathe out through your mouth, feeling your belly going down and pushing the air out.
