Guided visualisation – a city riverside walk

Let's begin the guided visualization.

Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down where you won't be disturbed. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, allowing your body to relax and your mind to settle.

Now, imagine yourself standing at the edge of a bustling city. The sun is shining brightly overhead, casting a warm glow on the surroundings. You can hear the sounds of the city, the distant honking of car horns, the chatter of people, and the rhythmic flow of water.

As you take your first step forward, you find yourself standing on a path that runs parallel to a beautiful river. The path is lined with trees, their branches gently swaying in the breeze. The air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers and fresh river water.

As you continue walking, you feel a gentle breeze on your face, cooling you from the warmth of the sun. The path beneath your feet is smooth and inviting. You can hear the sound of your footsteps, echoing softly as you move forward.

Looking to your left, you see the sparkling river, its water reflecting the vibrant colors of the city skyline. The water flows gracefully, creating a soothing melody that accompanies your journey. You notice ducks swimming peacefully, gliding across the surface of the river. Their gentle movements bring a sense of tranquility to the scene.

On your right, you observe the cityscape. Tall buildings rise high into the sky, their windows reflecting the sunlight. There's a sense of energy and activity as people go about their daily lives. The city seems alive with possibilities and opportunities.

As you walk along the river, you come across various landmarks. You pass by a quaint café with outdoor seating, where people are enjoying their meals and engaging in lively conversations. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air, enticing your senses.

Further along, you notice a small park with benches and lush green grass. Families and friends gather here, laughing and playing games. You take a moment to appreciate the joy and happiness that fills the air.

Continuing your walk, you come across a small bridge that crosses the river. You decide to ascend the steps and make your way to the center. From this vantage point, you have a panoramic view of the city and the river. It's a breathtaking sight, and you take a moment to soak it all in.

After a while, you descend from the bridge and resume your walk along the river. The sun begins to set, casting a warm orange glow across the sky. The city lights start to twinkle, illuminating the surroundings with a magical ambiance.

As you approach the end of your walk, take a moment to reflect on the beauty and serenity of the city river. Feel grateful for this peaceful experience and the sense of rejuvenation it has brought you.

When you're ready, gently open your eyes, bringing the visualization to a close. Take a moment to carry the relaxation and positive energy you've gained into the rest of your day.

I hope this guided visualization helped you imagine walking along a city river.
