The Slow Descent
Night one of Sleep Journeys, a fourteen-night guided sleep-hypnosis programme. A wide stone staircase, lit amber from below, leads down by a slow count of ten into a sheltered valley resting in the last blue of evening. Cool grass underfoot, glow-worms in the shallows, a night bird far off in the hills, and the quiet grows longer as the descent deepens.

Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
