Welcome to your evening guided visualization.

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

Find a comfortable position now and make sure that you'll not be disturbed so that you can get a restful sleep.

Get as comfortable as you can and at any time along the way you need to reposition yourself to get even more comfortable.

Settling deeper and deeper into whatever is a comfortable posture for you as you lie here.

Beginning to let go of all the tension you may have built up throughout the day.

Any worries you accumulated seem now 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 each breath you take.

A nice full breath in and slowly breathing out.

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 from your day flash in your mind or maybe you feel them as sensations in your body.

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

Taking a few moments to simply settle and notice what's here for you at the end of the day.

Now letting images from your day fade away and bringing into your imagination an old station in the middle of nowhere.

As you walk into the station and onto the platform you see the workers getting ready to depart and steam is billowing out from the engine.

And the long long train extends into the horizon.

You walk several sections back and you notice an open wagon.

You hop on the open wagon and 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's so comfortable.

As you lay there you can look out of the open door and see the nature going past as the train starts to move.

The weather is perfectly mild and soothing and you can smell the hay and the country breeze coming in through the open door.

You look around taking in all the details of the wagon,

Noticing everything vividly as you look around.

You can hear the engine hissing as it builds its power to pull this massive weight.

Soothing 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're in for a long relaxing ride.

As the train powers along you feel the slight vibrations coming up from the wheels.

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 its 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.

Outside you see the trees 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 its beauty.

Now you see the sun is beginning to meet the horizon,

Setting behind a soft rolling mountain range in the distance.

The colours that this sunset begins to create for you are breathtaking.

The pinks and yellows of the sky fade into the bright blue,

Then into the deep blue of the night sky inching in.

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

The sunset is reflecting colours of purples mixed with oranges as the sun dips below the mountains.

Meadows of warm golden colours are passing by the train and every now and then an old giant oak tree passes by you,

Standing proudly in the sprawling fields of gold.

This view is mesmerising 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 very comfortable and ready for a restful night's sleep.

The colour 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.

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.

The 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 very 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 look out onto the nature passing by.

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

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

I have done all that I need to do today.

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

I breathe peacefully and easily.

As I relax my mind and body sleep comes to me naturally and willingly.

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

I know how good this is for me right now.

Deep and restful sleep is possible every night when I let go of worries and stress.

My breath is steady and slow carrying me into a long night's sleep.

As I become sleepier and sleepier my brain slows yet 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 lived well and now it has become night.

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

Now is my time to dream.

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 away.

My mind is quiet and clear and I enjoy waking up refreshed and rejuvenated after a marvellous sleep.

I sleep well each and every night.

Nothing disturbs me when I sleep.

The more rest I get the more excellent tomorrow will be.

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

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

No matter how much of my dreams I remember I know that they are constructive and offer a space for my imagination to flourish.

Dreaming and sleeping allow for great vision and inventiveness to take place in my mind.

I release all my thoughts from the day.

I release any tension I accumulated from the day.

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

I am grateful for my beautiful bed and pillows that support me.

I am calm and full of peace.

Falling asleep is effortless for me.

I know that the words I say and the things I think come into action.

I say with confidence every day that I sleep easily and restfully.

Each night when I lay down on my soft pillow I am greeted by sleep and I welcome this sensation.

I sleep so soundly that my body and mind are completely refreshed and ready to accomplish anything.

I look forward to going to bed knowing it will be quiet and relaxing.

I look forward to doing all the little things I like to do to prepare for getting in bed.

Falling asleep happens quickly without any effort.

Now just drifting and floating,

Not thinking about anything in particular.

Letting things come and go as they always do.

Sleep is embracing you now.

The train is taking you along for this pleasant,

Easeful ride.

And the new and beautiful destination when you rise.

So enjoy this time and allow my voice to completely fade away as the sleepy train rolls along through the countryside.

Enjoy your sleep and good night.

Thank you for watching!
