Ocean Floor Stillness

Sink slowly into calm, blue quiet. This 15-minute journey guides you one gentle line at a time, with ocean waves 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. Settle in and let your breathing slow.
2. Imagine floating on the surface of a calm, warm sea.
3. You can breathe easily here. You are completely safe.
4. Slowly, gently, you begin to sink below the surface.
5. The noise of the world fades away above you.
6. Sunlight ripples through the water in soft beams.
7. You drift down, slowly, like a falling leaf.
8. The water becomes a deeper, quieter blue.
9. Small silver fish glide past without hurry.
10. Seaweed sways back and forth in the gentle current.
11. Your thoughts move slowly here, like the seaweed.
12. You settle softly onto the smooth, sandy floor.
13. Above you, waves rise and fall, but down here it is still.
14. Whatever storms happen on the surface, the deep stays calm.
15. There is a calm place like this inside you too.
16. Rest in the blue stillness.
17. Breathe slowly and simply be.
18. When you are ready, begin to float gently back up.
19. Rising slowly through the blue towards the light.
20. Break the surface feeling refreshed, calm and clear.
