Welcome to this guided sleep meditation.

I am going to guide you into a restful sleep by taking you on a relaxing train ride through the beautiful countryside.

Find a comfortable position now and ensure that you will not be disturbed so that you get a restful sleep.

Get as comfortable as you can now and at any time along the way that you need to reposition yourself to get an even more pleasant sleep,

You can do so.

Begin to let go of all the tension you build up throughout the day.

Any worries you accumulated seem to lose their power and intensity as you settle down for the night.

Feeling cozy now,

Allow your breath to begin to slow down with every new breath you take.

A nice full breath in and slowly exhale.

Letting your breath return to normal now,

Just observe your mind and how it is thinking of various things about your life and your day.

Observe how perhaps visuals of moments flash in your mind or maybe you feel them.

You may be able to hear sounds with your thoughts as they present themselves.

Letting images from your life fade now,

Bring into your imagination that you are walking towards a long train that is parked along the countryside.

The engine of the train is stopped at an old station in the middle of nowhere and the long train extends into the horizon.

You are walking several sections back and you notice an open wagon.

You see the workers getting ready to depart and steam is billowing out from the engine.

You step onto the open wagon,

Find it is filled with fresh hay.

You hear the train horn blowing and the sounds of distant voices calling,

All aboard.

You lay down in the hay and it is perfectly comfortable.

You are positioned in a way that you are gazing out the open door into nature.

As you sit back,

Waiting for the train to begin to roll,

You look around the wagon and notice all the details.

The weather is perfectly mild and soothing.

Perhaps you can even sense the smell of hay from the countryside breeze.

Notice everything as vividly as you can.

You feel slight vibrations as the train powers up and you can hear its mighty engine hissing as it builds enough power to pull the massive weight.

Roofing station bells begin to ring,

Alerting that the train is leaving the station.

The wagon begins to roll very slowly and you take a deep breath of relief because you know you have been on a very relaxing ride.

The vibrations under you get stronger as the train increases in speed.

You can hear the relaxing sounds of the wheels turning along the tracks.

The station bells get louder as your wagon passes by the small station in the middle of nowhere and then they pass by and the ringing sounds get to venture and venture into the distance until you cannot hear them any longer.

The vibrations under you are strong yet soothing.

They even out into a relaxing hum as the train has reached a safe and steady speed for a long journey.

As you gaze outside it is still light but it will be sunset very soon.

You can see out both sides of this train car making for the most beautiful views you have ever seen.

You see the ground close to you passing by very quickly and a tree is nearby passing a little slower and in the distance some rolling mountains are moving by ever so slowly as you ride.

Look out into this nature and really enjoy the beauty.

The sun is beginning to meet the horizon setting behind a soft rolling mountain range in the distance.

The colors that the sunset begins to create for you are breathtaking.

Inks and yellows of the sky fade into the bright blue and then into the deep blue of the night sky inching in.

The gentle mountain range gives off hues of blues and greens and grays.

The sundown is reflecting colors of purples mixed with oranges now as it dips below the mountains.

Meadows of warm golden colors are passing by the train and every now and then an old giant oak tree passes you by standing proudly in the sprawling fields of gold.

The view is mesmerizing and you are not thinking about anything other than the beauty you are witnessing.

You are getting more and more relaxed and feeling grateful for these beautiful moments in the twilight upon this sleepy train.

You are so comfortable and ready for a restful night's sleep.

The aura of the sun is slowly fading away and the night sky is chasing away the sunset.

Your eyes are becoming heavy with sleep as you watch the day turn to darkness.

The wide meadows have passed by and the train is entering a forest.

The weather cools just a bit and you can smell the trees as they close in around the train.

Dark has settled in yet there is crisp moonlight peeking through the trees as they pass by.

The hum and resonance of the train are so soothing to you making you even more sleepy.

Your eyes are closed now and occasionally you open them for just a moment to gaze around the wagon and the view into nature.

Now hear yourself saying as you drift and float on this dreamy train ride.

Sleep comes and it restores me and heals me.

Nighttime is the time to fully rest and rejuvenate.

A restful night's sleep is approaching and I am just long for the ride.

I have done all that I need to do today.

Right now I don't have to do anything but rest and sleep.

I breathe peacefully and easily relaxing my mind and my body.

Sleep comes over me naturally and willingly.

As I become more relaxed and sleepy this gives my body time to heal.

I know how good this is for me right now.

Sleep and restful sleep is possible when I let go of my worries and stress.

My breath is steady and slow parrying me into a long night of sleep.

As I become sleepier and sleepier my brain slows.

At the same time my creativity increases.

This creative state is void of any of my worries or fears.

It is completely open to showing me how to achieve my goals and attain my desires.

I am grateful for my day that was well lived and now it has become night.

Through sleeping and dreaming I accomplish great advances which extend into my waking life.

I embrace rest as one of nature's natural healing medicines.

My body feels very heavy and calm.

My muscles are completely relaxed and any remaining tension completely fades.

My mind is quiet and clear.

I enjoy waking up refreshed and rejuvenated after a marvelous night's sleep.

I thank my body for allowing this time of rest and relaxation.

I thank my mind for letting go of worries opening to resourcefulness through dreaming.

I release all my thoughts from the day.

I release any tension I accumulated from the day.

I awaken refreshed and happy when I've gotten the perfect amount of sleep that I need.

I am calm and full of peace.

Now just drift and float,

Not thinking about anything in particular.

Just let things come and go as things always do.

Sleep is encompassing you now.

Train is taking you along for the ride and to a new and beautiful destination when you rise.

Enjoy this time and allow my voice to completely fade away just as a sleepy train rolls along through the wilderness.

Good night.
