Desert Dunes at Sunset
Walking across warm sand under a sky of orange and rose. Vast and quiet.
Desert Dunes at Sunset sets you down on warm sand and asks you to walk while the sky turns orange and rose. The horizon stays far away, the quiet is absolute, and there is nothing here to do but move your legs.
It is a session for being small in a very large space.
You walk a long way across the sand with the sky turning orange and rose above you. The ground is warm and the open space is vast and quiet.
Nothing here asks for a decision or a reply, only that you keep moving through the colours as they change.
What’s in it
Walking across warm sand under a sky of orange and rose, vast and quiet.
Why do it
The vastness and quiet of the desert focus the mind, making it easier to detach from daily thoughts.

Why going here does anything
The mind finds it hard to keep a grip on small things when there is so much space, and the desert spends most of its time being that space.
Walking in a straight line across the dunes settles the body into a rhythm that does not need you to run it. The quiet is simply there, filling up the room where the noise usually goes.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
