Mountain Stillness

Steady and unshaken, whatever the weather. This 5-minute journey guides you one gentle line at a time, with gentle wind playing softly in the background. Read it below, or press start to follow along with a timer and an optional spoken voice.

The full script

1. Sit tall but relaxed, like a mountain rising from the earth.
2. Feel your base: heavy, wide and solidly rooted.
3. Your spine rises gently like a ridge towards the sky.
4. Weather moves across the mountain. Sun, rain, wind and snow.
5. The mountain stays. It does not need the weather to change.
6. Your thoughts and feelings are weather. Let them move.
7. Breathe slowly. Feel how steady you can be.
8. Seasons pass. The mountain remains.
9. Notice the stillness at your core, beneath all the movement.
10. Rest here a little longer.
11. Carry this steadiness with you as you return.
