Snowville

Hello there, thanks for joining us for tonight's visit to Snowville. It's no exaggeration to say that it's one of the coziest places on Earth with its spires and domes and twinkling lights. Its ivy-covered archways and cobbled streets. Well, it could have come straight from the pages of a children's storybook. But the most amazing thing is that it all came about quite naturally. It's reassuring to know that places like this still exist and that whatever you do by day, Snowville is always here for you to visit at night. Before we go on, I think it's nice to begin with a little wind down exercise. For tonight's wind down, you're going to use your imagination. So no matter what's been going on today, whether it's been a busy day or a calm one, this is an opportunity to just put everything down. To let go of any inner chatter and just find a place of rest in both the body and the mind. So first get yourself comfortable in bed. Just taking a moment to pause, to be still. And when you're ready, just taking a big, deep breath. Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. And as you breathe out, just allowing the body to sink down into your bed. Feeling the weight of the body, allowing thoughts to come and go. Just imagining a steady flow of warm sunlight just flowing down through the body, dissolving any tension, any discomfort as it begins to fill the body starting with the toes. Moving up through the feet and the legs being filled with sunlight. The qualities of warmth, space, ease as it continues to travel up through the body, up past the waist, to the back and the stomach. It's as though it just washes away any discomfort. It continues up through the chest and the back into the shoulders and down the arms all the way down to the hands and fingers. A sense of relief in the body. Stillness in the mind as it continues to travel up through the neck and the throat. Into the head and face all the way to the very top of the body until there's nothing other than that sense of stillness remaining. And now just gently bringing the attention back to the body. Nestled in the mountains, overlooking a forested valley, and a gleaming ribbon of river, Snowville is a beautifully preserved medieval town renowned for its festive night market. On a snowy winter's evening, it's one of the best places to be. From a distance, the town is first a sprinkling of light and then a warm glow tucked into the mountain's shadowy slopes. The headlights of the car that brought you here illuminated a beautiful stone archway with what looked like a bell tower on top. Somewhere as special as Snowville has to have a special entrance. When the car passed through the archway you became aware of an atmosphere, a feeling...
