Free The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep: A New Way Of Getting Children To Sleep by Carl-Johan Forssén Ehrlin Page B

answered the wise Heavy-Eyed Owl. You don't even need to hear me finish talking, you can already see yourself fall asleep . You feel calm and relaxed and can do as I tell you. Now. Fall asleep . It's all about being able to relax. Now, lay down . In a little while, I want you to relax in different parts of your body. It's important that you do as I tell you and just relax , she said.
    Since Heavy-Eyed Owl is wise, I will do what she tells me to, thought Roger.
    Relax your feet [name] . Roger and you do as Heavy-Eyed Owl tells you and now you relax your feet.
    Relax your legs [name] . Roger and you do so, now .
    Relax your entire upper body [name] . Roger and you do so, now .
    Relax your arms [name] . Allow them to be heavy as stones. The Rabbit and you do so, now .
    You are relaxing your head and allowing your eyelids to be heavier [name] , just letting them relax. Roger and you are relaxing deeply .
    Now . You are letting your eyelids be as heavy as they are, just before you fall asleep, now .
    Then Heavy-Eyed Owl said:
    – Let your whole body be heavy. So heavy that it feels like it falls down into the ground. Fall down, down, down . Just like a leaf, that falls down slowly down, down, down, slowly down from a tree, follows the wind and just let it make you fall down, slowly down to the ground. Slowly down, down, down. Now. Your eyelids are so heavy .
    – This was good, said Roger now feeling how tired he had become. Very tired. Now. So tired that you almost fall asleep [yawn] just as calm as it feels just before you fall asleep, now.

    Roger The Rabbit had decided to go down to Uncle Yawn, so he continued to go down, even though he was very tired, now . Roger thought about what Sleepy Snail taught you, to walk slowly and be calm to become even more tired .
    Roger noticed how tired he was and all he wanted to do was lay down and fall asleep . But I can't lay down here, now, and sleep , Roger The Rabbit thought. Besides, I have promised Mommy Rabbit that we will go down to Uncle Yawn and fall asleep, now .
    After walking for a while, they reached Uncle Yawn's garden. Outside the house there was a big sign that said "I can make anyone fall asleep". Yes, that's true , you now thought. I feel even more tired already. Now. He has made me sleepier with his spells, you thought.
    When they reached the door, there was a little sign, it said "Knock on the door when you, now, are ready to fall asleep" . Roger felt tired and decided that you are ready to fall asleep, now . He knocked on the door.
    Uncle Yawn opened the door and was happy to see you, Roger and Mommy Rabbit.
    – Welcome my friend, said Uncle Yawn. Apparently, you would like some help to fall asleep now .
    – Yes, answered Roger [yawn] , I would like us to fall asleep, now . Both me and you [name] .

    Uncle Yawn took out his big, thick book, that contained a lot of spells which can make both rabbits and humans fall asleep , be happy, be kind, be loved and feel that they are good enough just as they are. Just like you can, are, and can be right now, said Uncle Yawn. He also took out his powerful, magical and invisible sleeping powder that makes rabbits and children fall asleep when it is sprinkled over them.
    – When I now cast this spell and sprinkle the invisible sleeping powder over you, it is important that you will walk straight home and go to bed immediately. Now. You will fall asleep already on your way back or in bed . This spell and sleeping powder is powerful and always works and you will fall asleep quickly, now .
    – Finally, I can fall asleep and sleep well all night , said Roger with certainty.
    – Okay, I will now read to you, said Uncle Yawn and started to read the powerful spell that would make Roger and you fall asleep, now .
    [While you count, symbolically sprinkle the invisible sleeping powder over and around the child.]
    Three... Two... One... sleepy now, sleepy now, I am sleeping now ...
    – Now it is best that you leave, said Uncle Yawn,
