This episode is a sleep meditation where we go swimming, then diving, and find some things which are very, very interesting, which will take us on.

an adventure. It's like a visualization where the imagery and the journey will relax you. Speak in. So please find a place now where you can safely relax and go to sleep and start off relaxing your body and taking deep breaths in and out, getting comfortable in the bed and doing some light stretching. If you think, that will help you settle down. This bed tonight is going to be a wondrous place of adventure, but adventure that you'll see in your mind's eye and relax

and slowly drift off if you wish to. I'm really looking forward to telling this story tonight. So take some deep breaths in and out, and out, and out and have a little wriggle and have a little stretch. And just relax all those muscles and any stresses, just let them drift away as we go into the visualization now. In his eye, you see yourself swimming, so clear. The water isn't.

Water, so gentle, so still. You drift on your back for a little bit. Looking up at the sky and seeing the deep, tropical blue, of the area. There's a few light fluffy cows. Doct it around, it's a serene place. And very occasionally a haze goes across the sun or dots across it. Giving a little bit of relief from the sun. You're not too hot, you're really comfortable.

Water is that nice warm richer. It's like a lukewarm bathwater. It's very nice. on the skin. In the distance you see your boat bobbing around. You put the anchor out so it's a curious place and you can go back there surely. It's a small white sailboat full of sails, all outboard motor and you use it to dart round this place and you go diving and you go swimming and you go exploring. The boat is named to have to have to be. after someone, I very much, it comes to you.

You notice that you're wearing flippers and you also have a swimming mask with a snorkel. You decide to put the mask on which was resting on your forehead on properly and you dip and dive the water, gently seeing the fish. Swimming around in a little distance away is a an island. A small deserted island, with the beach running round it and with palm trees and vegetation and an undergrowth in the centre. It's quite off to the distance. You can see in the distance towards the island that there, if you decide to go and explore and gently swim and paddle with your flippers over in that direction.

It's very easy to swim because the waves are so calm and that warm water lapse over your body. It feels so amazing and so calm to be swimming here. Outside distractions. No outside noises. The waves. The ship bobbing, new seagulls. gently chirping to themselves as they fish and fly out from the island.

This place is like a sanctuary. You can meditate and just listen to your own mind in this place. Just for you with in your life already. This place is just for you. And as you swim to the coral reef you feel so. relax when you went to see where you're going and then you put your head under the water with your mask and snorkel and you can easily breathe under water as you see the golden sands and the light shimmering water creating beautiful streams of penetrating light through the

blue and turquoise of the ocean and you see the light sparkle and hit the dunes of sand at the bottom of the ocean and you hold your breath and you dive down soft sand on the ocean floor and it's so smooth with the odd

shell fragment here or there and you easily dive back up to the surface and go on your way to the coral of so many different colors colors of oranges, sea vegetation and enemies. The coloured fish swimming around the coral. This is their home. The sun goes through the water hitting the coral,

giving that ocean shimmering effect. The ooze from the ocean. May the corals look so wonderful. You see so many different types of fish From the orange and white clownfish To the larger sunfishes of every type Every size And every colour

The coral reefs are like the Garden of Eden To the sea Life-giving, so fertile To the animals and plants And corals that live there Is a place where nature works in perfect harmony with each other. You just gently bob

on the water now. You're not swimming, you're not moving. Your head is just down in the water, looking at the coral reefs and you're easily breathing through your snorkel as you take in the jungle of the sea.

It's beauty in front of you. And now and then, Dive down, hold your breath and look at the fish and the coral up from. The boat is very close to you. We decide to gently swim. Back to the boat at the wavers gently, lapping up against its bow, a small silver ladder on its side.

Water drips from you onto the floor, wooden floor. And there you see what you were looking for. diving equipment because you want to have a closer look. Put on your scuba and your breathing apparatus and you put your flippers on again and you tend to the sail to make sure that everything's just right and you sit with all your scuba equipment on

and the boat gently pops up and down and goes back and forth and you lean back and you launch yourself into the water off the boat from the rail and begin to swim underwater to the coral reef and you're there now looking all at the different structures

the beautiful big sponges and the beautiful structures that have been building and built for dozens and dozens of years because these corals can be very ancient, hundreds of years old. The corals are truly a marvel.

They're made up of hundreds and thousands of tiny organisms that symbiotically come together to live as a coral and some look like little trees or little ferns underwater fish go round packing for their food. It's so peaceful down here.

It's so serene. It's so quiet. You realise you're an explorer. No human has ever been or come here before. Oceans are just too vast. For divers to have seen. This coral reef develops you

and all your stresses go as you are weightless in the water. with just the water supporting you from all angles. It's just so easy to bob around and explore and see the nooks and crannies, to see the bright orange starfish and the bright blue starfish. Sway with their branches and leaves, move. And it's very peaceful to see this. Seeing this wonder of nature in front of you

makes you realise the nature The nature needs to be cherished and protected. And as human beings we have an obligation. To look after the natural world as you are thinking you see some bright yellow fish in front of you. They're lined with electric blue colours on their very edges and have dashes of electric blue near their gills and side fins.

You look closely down at the corals and you see some camouflaged sea horses using their curled up tails to stay put in the moment and you see because this is their home. The fish and the corals flex ecosystem together. This is their home to protect them from predators and it's where they feed and mate is a really a magical place. On the edge of your eye line you see a wooden structure on the edge of the reef and you swim over there gently paddling with your flippers on and the structure comes into full view. It's a ruined wooden ship looking like an old wooden galleon.

It's obviously been here for many years and is covered with barnacles. and other aquatic wildlife. We have little fish darting in and through the cannon holes which are on the side of the ship and there's a few cannon there covered with barnacles still poking out the holes. You can see it's got two large masts and one small mast front of the ship you've truly made

an amazing discovery and you swim over and you take in. You swim just above the deck and you can see that it's in very good condition. You can see where the rigging from the sails was attached. You swim the side of the doors on each side is a small staircase which goes up to a landing where the ship's wheel is. You swim up and let your feet gently touch the deck as he stand nips wheel. It's like the wheel you see in the movies. A giant wooden wheel. He can slowly move the wheel still left and right. What it must have been like on this boat. As he stand where dozens of men stood before guiding and sailing the boat through the ocean. You feel connected to the wreck of this ship, history, what it did.

And you want to discover more, and you swim down on the deck, and you see again those doors to the back of the ship, to the captain's quarters, and you open them up, and you swim through. And the first thing you can see, on the back of the quarters, where the windows once were, where the captain could look out behind the ship You look around And just in front of the window

It's attached to the floor still bolted down And so the tables did not swing back and forth As the ship sailed It's a grand chair Where the captain would sit Again bolted down To swim And sit on the chair

And look at the table in front of you And imagine roots with this crew and lay down the maps and the correspondence and decide where they would sail to next and what adventures they would have. As you put your hands on the desk and feel the wood, you notice in the corner of your eye, a wooden chest, a way to investigate, try and lift up the top of the chest and you realise that the catches are still in place. bubbles of air very tight and floats up in the water right in front of you. It's a dark green bottle sealed at the top with a cork covered and wax. And inside you can see a scroll of paper.

It's quite dark down there and hold it up to the window where some light is still coming through on the ocean floor. And you can definitely see it's quite undamaged and intact. It's really interesting what you decide. and discover what is inside the bottle. As you swim up, head goes above the water and you see where the apparatus out of your mouth and swim over to the boat

the silver ladder again. And he take off the heavy tank on your back and the breathing apparatus and he sat down and you look at the bottle in your hand. Maybe an old claret bottle would have drank. decided to seal away this bottle out of sight. You get a small knife.

It's a deep red colour. It reveals the cork and it's very dry. The edge of the top of the cork is protruding out and you grasp that. You twist it and pull with all your strength and the cork slides out and you put your finger into the mouth of the bottle

and you pull the scroll out. is tightly rolled with a band of string in a bow around it. And you open the bow and the scroll unravels itself. And you can see there is a map for some buried treasure with illustrations and drawings of an island. You can see our symbols piracy that this ship below you was a pirate ship that was off, that was off on its way to recover the treasure it had buried from a previous raid.

You wonder where this island is and you look at the shape of the map, the shape of the island. And you realise that it is the small deserted island straight in front of you. And you wonder if the treasure is still buried on this island. And you think what an amazing adventure this is and what. you have discovered, but a sail on the really sail and a sense of adventure in your heart. Your small anchor is soft, and you enjoy that a beautiful place. It's very peaceful. You've taken a small spade with you and a machete to hack through any undergrowth and you walk up onto the shore with the beaming sun. You can see it's marked with

places where you should be going and you see in the distance a landmark on the map. of six huge boulders eroded some time thousands of years ago and they're still standing now and you realize this is the start of the Treasure Trail and walk into the undergrowth as the island is surrounded by sands in a circle around itself but as you walk into the island it goes more into jungle

and you see a path to your right right hand side, which is marked on the map. It's now very faint on the island. So you could tell it was a major path which lived here to bury their treasure. The wood, their treasure, treasure was even. Use your machete when the undergrowth goes in front of you slightly so you can carry walking on this path. And there's just small grasses in this clearing and in the centre of it are three palm trees close together and you look in the map you can see the X marks the spot just below the rocky outcrop you take your spade about digging and after a few minutes the spade away with your hands and you see that it's the top of a wooden

chest and you dig around it a little bit quicker now because you're quite excited to see what's inside. It has the same locks on the ship which you found the bottle in. Or braces and joints. Lift to open. But it doesn't move so you get your spade

in between the lid and you gently push down on it and it makes a click. It opens up half an inch and you see the beauty inside an absolute wonder of treasures that means so much to you and you take the sight of them in and you run your

fingers over the treasures you can't believe you've found what you have found that was buried all those hundreds of years ago by the people who wanted to keep them safe and you're going to take them back to your boat and back to your home and you feel so happy, so amazing, but you have found this discovery and he feels so good, peaceful and calm that you have been on this adventure, special adventure.
