Certain times of the year are challenging. The times when we keenly feel the absence of our loved ones. This guided visualization is about a field where you can imagine meeting your loved ones who are no longer here, communing with them, or simply sensing their presence.
Not many people know about The Field of Dreams. But in this meditation, your heart will visit this imaginary place. A field transcending right or wrong. A field beyond physical bodies. A place beyond the dualities of life and judgement and void of conflict. A single unending field of bliss. A field where the real world melts away for a short while, where escape is possible into the place beyond our body consciousness.
This visualization is dedicated to my friend, Phil.

The sleep story, Drifting Down the Emerald River, is based on an experience I had rafting down a remote section of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon and spending time in the otherworldly, mystical desert region of the Canyonlands. The visualization begins with a simple relaxation exercise and ends with the ambient sound from inside the canyon at night.

The episode begins with a simple relaxation exercise and ends with the ambient natural sound from the old-growth forest of Elk Wood.

During this guided visualization for sleep, you will experience the beginning of autumn by walking through a wild forest. Eventually, you will end up at a prehistoric stone circle.
No one knows why the prehistoric people built stone circles. Still, it's thought they were created as a place for healing, preparation for death, or celebrating ancestors who had passed away. But today, people gather in stone circles to celebrate the solstices. To worship, heal and connect with the earth.
Autumn holds a special place in Clara's heart, as it is her favourite time of the year. Enamoured by the shifting hues of the leaves, the cooler temperatures, the changing light, and the beauty of misty mornings, Clara finds peace in the seasonal transitions. The changing landscape prompts her to reflect on the passage of time, evoking thoughts about the swift journey of the year and the impending conclusion it brings.
In the opening moments of her soothing guided meditation, Clara invites listeners to join her in a brief contemplation of time. This reflective pause allows for a shared acknowledgement of the temporal nature of life, creating the atmosphere for the upcoming sensory journey. As the meditation unfolds, it finishes with the ASMR-like experience of the twilight forest, where the symphony of nature's twilight envelops those who embark on this tranquil journey with Clara.

Research shows that spending time by the ocean is excellent for your well-being. Gazing at the sea changes the frequency of our brain waves, which puts us in a calm, meditative state. In addition, the sound of the waves activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation. Since being by the beach has soothing natural benefits, Clara will attempt to bring you the next best thing with this guided visualisation of the desert Island of Shells.
