In The Glen

In The Glen is a gentle guided journey inspired by the serene beauty of St Nectan’s Glen in Cornwall. Created for moments when life feels heavy, overwhelming, or emotionally draining, this meditation offers a space to soften, release, and reconnect with your inner steadiness.

You’ll be guided to a peaceful waterfall, supported by the soothing sound of running water, where your mind, body, and spirit can clear, cleanse, and recalibrate. This practice helps ease stress and anxiety, restore clarity, and invite a renewed sense of harmony.

If you enjoy working with angels or nature‑based visualisation, you may find this meditation especially nourishing.

Please note: this track includes the sound of running water — you may wish to take a comfort break before beginning.

Hi there, This is Lindsay of Hokoko Wellbeing and I welcome you to this meditation in the Glen. Please ensure when listening to this meditation that you are safe and not driving, Lying in the bath or operating any machinery. Please make sure that your phone is either switched off or tuned to silent so that you are not disturbed. You may wish to take a comfort break prior to starting this meditation. You may also wish to burn a candle or some incense that will help to raise the vibration for this meditation. However, Please make sure that these are placed in a safe place so that they can do no harm. Make certain that you are wearing warm, Comfortable clothes and that you are seated comfortably, But not so comfortable that you may be tempted to fall asleep. Rest your hands in your lap with your palms facing the ceiling. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of my voice and take a few deep breaths in and out with me now. In, And out. And in, And out. And in, And out. Now breathe in to ground yourself for this meditation. So breathe in once more. And then breathe out once more and visualize a white light going down your legs, Into the earth, Deep, Deep into the earth, Then spreading out wide like the roots of a tree. Give your shoulders a gentle shrug and move your head from side to side, Releasing any tension in your body to help you relax and settle. Allow your chair to take your full weight. Relax your shoulders and open your chest. Focus on the sound of my voice and make a conscious effort to be present in the here and now, Releasing all thoughts of the outside world. You are walking in a wooded valley, A glen. The slopes of which are covered in trees and shrubs. And as you raise your head. You can see the sun and the bright blue sky above. Through the canopy of the branches and leaves. You are walking alongside a wide stream. A stream that is guiding you to your destination. You are walking upstream into the depths of this beautiful valley. Listen to the rush of the water that is swirling around large rocks as you stop to watch its progress. Take a good look inside this stream. See the stones covered in deep green moss and the rich browns of the lichen. Watch as the water swirls over the stones creating mini waterfalls. See how clear and clean the water is as it rushes past you on its way to the sea. You come to a wooden bridge. And slowly walk across it to reach the other side of the wide stream. Enabling you to progress on your journey. As you continue walking up through this wooded valley, You briefly catch sight of an orange and blue flash of the kingfisher as it rushes past you and hides near to the riverbank. Listen to the birds over the sound of the water. A robin flies down to the path in front of you, As if to guide you further into the valley. Come along, He seems to say. I'll show you the way. And you follow him as he hops up the winding path. You are in an ancient woodland. The trees around you are very tall. You can hear their colourful leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. As you walk up a slight incline. You can hear the heightened sound of water. You continue up some stone steps and cross a further bridge. All the time the sound of the water getting louder and louder. You gently step down the steps on the other side. You turn a corner in the pathway and there in front of you is the most beautiful of waterfalls. You see the water rushing down between steep rocks, High above a ring of rock, Under which the water descends to a calm, Healing pool. You puddle in this pool. The cool water lapping up your bare legs. As you look behind you, You see a small area of land upon which a circle sits of rose quartz crystals. Each piece denoting East, South, West and North. A fifth piece of rose quartz is placed in the middle of this crystal grid. These crystals have been anchored to Mother Earth in this special place. Gently step out of the water and place yourself in the center of this circle. A circle of pure love. Face the waterfall and place your feet on either side of the central rose quartz crystal and allow yourself to feel that pure love. You are in a sacred place. This magical pool is in the guardianship of the Archangel Gadriel. The wise one. The ancient one. An angel of peace. He says. We, The Spirits of the Light, The Sister and Brotherhood of the White Dove, Declare this place to be holy. Anyone who comes to me, Their thirst will be quenched. Their spirit shall be purified. Their nature shall be of the light. Washed away is the old and the new you shall emerge within you. That part within which is eternal and divine. The essence of your true self. And so it is. Stay a while within this circle beside these sacred waters and allow yourself to be cleansed by the Archangel Gadriel. Allow all of your grief, Your sorrows, Your challenges, Your issues and concerns to be washed away. To allow light, Love and joy back into your life. Enjoy the sound of the rushing water and allow the cleansing to take place. It is nearly time for you to return. You have been cleansed in this sacred space and can now move forward in your life on whatever path that takes, Knowing that you are of the light and living in alignment with your true essence and divinity. Give thanks to the Archangel Gadriel and know that you can visit this sacred space whenever you wish to return and have your thirst quenched and your spirit purified. Make your way slowly and gently back to the wooded glen that so beautifully guided you to the waterfall and sacred pool. You walk back along the path with the wide stream by your side. You have a spring in your step as you climb up and down the steps and across the wooden bridges and you can hear the heightened sound of the leaves of the trees and the birds around you. You can see the heightened colour of nature around you. The natural beauty of this glen has captured your heart and you can feel love and joy enter your mind, Body and spirit. An after effect of your cleansing. You walk back. Back, Back to where you entered this valley. And gently you release the images of the glen, The woods, The wide stream. And the waterfall. And come back. Back to your room. And the here and now. Listen to the sounds within your room. The sound of my voice. Breathe in and breathe out and ground yourself. Breathing white light down through your legs, Through your feet and down deep into the earth, Spreading out like the roots of the trees into the ground. Center yourself by breathing light into your sacral and solar plexus chakras and protect yourself by visualizing a colored bubble surrounding you and allowing it to harden like glass. As slowly and gently and in your own time. Open your eyes. And return.
