£1.99
DESCRIPTION: The first in a series of guided somatic meditations recorded in natural environments.
This one is an exploration of darkness as a healing tool. Deeply restful and nourishing.
Recorded whilst sitting alone in a forest in Koh Muk, Thailand as the dawn breaks. Rustling leaves, bird song and a couple of shuffling sounds as I brush off intrepid mosquitos.
LENGTH: 20 minutes.
GOOD FOR:
• Quietening the nervous system
• Quietening the mind
• Relaxing and nourishing the eyes and the visual cortex.
WHEN:
• Preparing for sleep.
• The end of the day
SET UP:
• A quiet room that you can make dark.
• A comfortable floor you can lay on / yoga matt
• Lay on your back in semi-supine or flat.
• A cushion for under your knees if laying flat.
• Warm comfy clothes (you will be still for 20 minutes)
• A good sound system or headphones.
• Eye mask if you want to ensure darkness.
