This immersive meditation, even more effective with high-quality headphones, transports you to the heart of the Namib Desert, into the still silence of Dead Vlei. Guided by a soft whispering voice, you’ll be led into deep relaxation before crossing a landscape frozen in time, bathed in amber light and warm desert air. Through gentle body scanning and mindful breathing, you’ll release every tension, sinking into a profound and sacred calm. The sounds of wind and sand softly embrace you, turning silence into inner music. A sensory journey into peace, slowness, and the beauty of the world — to fall asleep, breathe, and dream differently.

Transcript

And thank you for joining me tonight for this gentle guided meditation.

It has been designed to gently accompany you towards sleep,

So that your mind can more easily find the path to rest.

What will make this experience precious and singular,

Is the inner journey we are about to take together.

A voyage through thought into the heart of a landscape,

Situated far away on our beautiful planet.

I'll delicately awaken your senses,

So that your escape feels deeper,

More vivid.

I invite you simply to welcome this moment as a parenthesis,

Just for yourself.

Come back to it,

As often as you wish.

Take a moment to find a position that feels right for you,

The one where your body can finally allow itself to release the weight of the day.

I now invite you to close your eyes and place one hand on your belly.

Let a first deep breath come naturally,

As if you were already letting go.

And once more,

Your muscles unwind,

Moving stones that no longer need to strive to exist,

Releases,

Frees itself.

I now invite you to journey towards dead flame in Namib,

One of the most secret jewels of our planet.

I will ever walk upon its sands with our own feet,

Thanks to the marvellous power of your mind,

Where imagination becomes passage.

Imagine yourself walking through an immense desert,

Steady,

Rises more than 300 metres high.

Hands like the sun's solar survive thanks to morning mist and rare rainfalls.

This sanctuary feels vast,

Open.
