The sleep story, Drifting Down the Emerald River, is based on an experience I had rafting down a remote section of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon and spending time in the otherworldly, mystical desert region of the Canyonlands. The visualization begins with a simple relaxation exercise and ends with the ambient sound from inside the canyon at night.
