Garden Sanctuary
A perfect garden of your own design. Symmetry, scent, water, peace.
Garden Sanctuary is a session where you walk through a garden of your own design, following paths you choose and stopping by the water or plants whenever you wish.
The narration spends its time on symmetry and scent, asking you to notice only the details that please you. You simply stay there and look around.
A high wall keeps the outside world away from a space arranged exactly as you like it. There is symmetry in the planting and water moving quietly in a way that never changes.
You walk the paths and know exactly what is around the next corner, with nothing unexpected to disturb the quiet.
What’s in it
A perfect garden you can design, with paths, plants, water, and peace.
Why do it
Being in a place of your own design gives you a sense of control and safety, which can help relax the mind.

Why going here does anything
When a place is made of your own choices there is no need to scan for trouble, so the mind settles into a pattern it already knows.
The scent of the plants and the sound of the water give attention a small number of gentle things to follow. It is the repetition of known safe things that fills the time here.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
