Mountain Visualisation

Imagine that it is very early morning, still dark, and you are walking through hills climbing up towards some mountains. You are alone and very safe (PAUSE)..... You are walking east and if you look back you can see a crescent shaped moon low in the sky .. soon the sun will rise over the mountains ahead of you. (PAUSE) .....Far below in a valley the lights of a small town twinkle through an early morning mist. (PAUSE) ..... The track twists back and forth on the side of the mountain … it winds between huge boulders and over bridges suspended across deep chasms. (PAUSE) ..... A gap between two hills gives a glimpse of a huge snow covered mountain ahead … the pale sky behind it heralds the dawn. (PAUSE) ..... you climb up through snow, it makes a crunching sound as you break the surface and sink in … A glacier lies across your path … there are creaks and groans of moving ice as you quickly move across. (PAUSE) ..... Near the top of the mountain it becomes cold … winds howl around your body and snatch at your clothes … snow and ice cling to your shoes. (PAUSE) ...... You reach the top and a magnificent scene reveals itself before your eyes … to the east a vast range of snow covered peaks and beautiful valleys … to the west hills leading to rolling plains and the sea. (PAUSE) ..... Intensify your imagination and visualise this scene … see the sun rise like a golden ball in the east, scattering rays of golden light off snow that dazzles your eyes, warming your body. (PAUSE) ..... Sweep your eyes around the sky. .. to the west it is still grey, above you blue. In the east a delicate pink as it nears the sun. (PAUSE) ..... Watch the sunlight strike the tops of the mountains and move down their sides .. deep valleys emerge as the shadows retreat. (PAUSE) ..... You sit with legs crossed and contemplate this grand scene … the dawn of a new day. (PAUSE) ..... Let yourself experience this for some time … let your mind flow freely with this experience.
