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.

Waterfalls are naturally soothing and relaxing, so Clara will attempt to give you the next best thing with a guided visualization of one in a tropical rainforest. During the meditation, you will also experience the ritual known as Takigyo, or waterfall meditation, practised widely in Japan. In Takigyo, the Shinto purification ritual, you cleanse the mind, body and spirit by standing underneath a mountain waterfall.

This guided visualization for sleep is about being far away from everything in a vast landscape. The meditation will begin with a simple breathing exercise and a reflection on life before embarking on your journey to a sacred, ancient place lost and hidden from time. Finally, the visualization ends with the AMSR of the lost oasis.

In the latter part of his life, the artist Monet purchased a farm outside Paris, where he spent years creating a magical masterpiece—an exotic lotus land. In the garden of Giverny, he painted and meditated for almost 30 years. Many of the canvases he made during this time depicted waterlilies with large blossoms and pads suspended as if in space in the azure water mingled with the clouds.
The guided meditation, Lotus Land, begins with a simple relaxation exercise and then journeys back in time to the colourful garden of Giverny. Here, you will discover an otherworldly sense of peace. The visualisation ends with soothing ambient sounds from Monet's water lily garden.

Visualization is a gentle but powerful meditation technique that will enable you to use your imagination to help you relax.

Jacques Costeau, the famous marine biologist, sailed the seven seas for nearly half a century. During this time, he documented the extraordinary beauty of the oceans and marine life.

The visualisation will begin with a short history of Calypso, and then you will snorkel on a pristine tropical reef. Finally, the visualisation ends with a relaxing meditation and the ambient sound of the ship and the ocean.
