Guided Visualisation

Imagine you're lying on a Hawaiian beach at sunset. This is a guided visualisation; a guide, whether it's a therapist, meditation teacher, a piece of music or even the suggestion of a recording of ocean waves that allows you to visualise something.

These are used in the Sleep Retreat at The Sanctuary Spa in Covent Garden in which spa guests are cocooned in comfortable beds. The recorded suggestion was so powerful that I became disorientated thinking I was lying in a hammock and was convinced I would fall out.
