This recording is a visualisation - and it invites you to a place at some 2000 m above sea level in the Swiss Alps. The intention of this work based on a deeply personal need. For this immersion portrays an important part of my preparation to work as a cowherd over the summer months.
In early May it was that I wrote the initial draft and, since then, I have used the recording every evening to invite my autonomic nervous system, and thus my whole organism, into the mountains. I practised being there before I would actually be there some four weeks later. My ambition was to establish trust in my abilities and, at the same time, let my nervous system know that there was nothing to fear. That novelty did not necessarily equate to dangerous. That travelling was safe. That being spontaneous was allowed to become part of my life again, and that all those carefully crafted health routines were flexible enough to persist in a real work scenario. I knew I could not remain in my safe-space-healing-bubble forever.
One day, I had to jump, venture outside, and immerse myself in the unknown, unpredictable, unforeseeable.
Fast forward three months: Why I am sitting in front of a screen today, publish this visualisation, and do not roam across mountain meadows and grassy fields, well, that is a very different story and may be shared in another post. Because, no distraction intended, this recording is for you to relax and rejuvinate.
If you wish to gather additional inspiration and not solely engage with your own imagination, the below photographs may provide you with a glimpse of how the world of giants and cows can look like.
But time to immerse: So if you like make yourself very comfortable now, snuggle into a blanket, wear warm clothes, cover your eyes, and let this recording take you away.
If you liked the visualisation, feel warmly welcomed to share it and in this way send a wing beat of calmness and healing out into this world.
With deep gratefulness for your being and listening
Enna
