The Forgotten Ruins: an immersive guided meditation
Watch the mist lift from a city lost beneath the jungle, then follow a little monkey of light through its ruins. You dive to an older city under the water and see a tree spring from the seed you plant.
Enter a city asleep beneath the jungle, where waterfalls run over old stone. A little monkey of light guides you to a hidden ocean, where an older city sleeps.

Who it is for, and when
This world is for the explorer in you. Choose it when you feel restless and want something to be curious about, while staying calm. Give it a slow afternoon, ideally on a warm or rainy day. It lasts 18 minutes and suits anyone drawn to lost cities and green, mysterious places.
How the session unfolds
Mist parts on a warm jungle to reveal a whole city asleep beneath ancient trees. You climb a mossy staircase through the ruins, and glowing insects gather into a small monkey of light. By a waterfall, a water spirit lays her cool hand on yours. A spiral carved in the wall lights up under your finger. Then a well leads down to a calm ocean beneath the city, where you can breathe. Great, peaceful creatures guide you to a garden of glowing flowers that hold old memories. Back in the courtyard, you plant a seed that grows into a tree, and a warm rain begins.
Tips to make the most of it
- Let your curiosity lead: notice details without needing to explain them.
- Afterwards, any tree branch you see can bring this place back to mind.
- The session ends as rain begins, so let After Rain play on in Timed Ambience.
As you leave
A soft rain begins to fall as you leave the ruins, calm and curious.

Is the thunder loud?
Far from it. It rolls only once, soft and low, far away in the jungle, and then fades.
Who is the little monkey?
A guide made of light, born from the glowing insects, with stardust fur and golden eyes. A water spirit also joins you for a moment by the waterfall.
What are the glowing symbols?
Spirals and wave shapes carved along an old wall, which light up under your fingertip. Deep below the city, you discover where the very first spiral was carved.
