Savanna Sunrise

A wide open African plain at dawn. Acacia trees, distant herds, the world coming alive slowly.

Savanna Sunrise sets you down on a wide African plain at the first light of day. You spend the time watching acacia trees and distant herds while the world wakes up around you.

The audio simply asks you to look out over that expansive landscape and notice the slow shift from dark to light.

A wide open African plain sits still at the start of the day while the light changes. You might see acacia trees standing against the sky and distant herds moving at their own pace across the grass.

The world here comes alive slowly and asks nothing of you but to watch it happen.

What’s in it

A wide open African plain at dawn, acacia trees, distant herds, and the world waking slowly.

Why do it

Where it sits

Beaches, forests, mountains, gardens, rivers, meadows.

Why going here does anything

There is a lot of space here and very little noise, which gives the eyes a long way to look without finding edges.

When the view is this wide and the herds move that slowly, there is nothing complicated to track or solve. The mind settles down simply because there is so much room to spread out.

Before you press play

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.
