Transcript

Hello and welcome.

This is Kim Carmen Walsh,

Welcoming you aboard tonight's Christmas Polar Express train.

Tonight's journey is through the snowy polar landscape.

Perhaps you're taking a small Christmas retreat,

Giving yourself some time away from the outside of the world,

Before you drift into sleep.

To help you connect with the deeper peace and quiet of the snow-covered mountains.

Feeling the soporific movement of the train and listening to the relaxing sound of the train on the tracks.

So,

When you are ready,

Take a deep breath in.

.

.

.

.

And as you breathe out,

Close your eyes and begin to relax.

As you bring your attention to the sounds you now hear.

.

.

.

.

The background sound of the train.

.

.

.

.

The sound of my voice.

.

.

.

.

To any sounds that you hear where you are.

Allowing each and every sound you hear to help relax you.

To let go of the outside world.

And you'll find the rhythmic sound of the train and the awareness of the gentle swaying movement feel so soothing and reassuring.

Helping you to drift easily and naturally into sleep.

So that you sleep throughout the night and awake in the morning,

Only at a time that you set for yourself.

Feeling relaxed,

Optimistic and joyful.

Should you need to wake during the night,

You will do so.

Tend to whatever needs attending.

Return to bed.

.

.

.

.

And just by bringing your attention to your breath.

.

.

.

.

To the sensation of allowing each out-breath to relax you.

To feel yourself sinking more deeply down into your bed as you breathe out.

.

.

.

.

And you'll easily fall back to sleep.

Allowing yourself now to be transported into your imagination.

.

.

.

.

So that you can see.

.

.

.

.

Feel.

.

.

.

.

Experience yourself in your own personal train cabin.

It is night time.

.

.

.

.

And the cabin lights are lit low.

You are feeling warm and cosy in your cabin bed.

.

.

.

.

And the bedding is made of soft downy feathers and fresh clean cotton.

You find the gentle swaying movement.

.

.

.

.

The sound of the train on the tracks.

.

.

.

.

The soft lighting and comfy bed.

.

.

.

.

All these things helping you to feel so relaxed and content.

As the train makes its way through the snowy landscape outside.

.

.

.

.

You are filled with a beautiful sense of quiet wonder and delight.

Turning the cabin lights off.

.

.

.

.

And looking out of your cabin window.

.

.

.

.

You can see the full moon reflecting its glistening light through the snow-covered landscape.

The train is currently making its way through a forest.

.

.

.

.

You can see the boughs of the trees weighed down with deep soft snow.

.

.

.

.

And beams of magical moonlight make their way through the tree canopy.

.

.

.

.

Just here and there.

.

.

.

.

Shimmering on the snow-covered ground beneath the trees.

And as the train emerges from the forest.

.

.

.

.

You see an owl gliding silently out from the tree tops into the wide open clear sky.

.

.

.

.

Its silhouette against the moon as it flies up towards the distant snow-capped mountains.

The scene outside has a magical,

Mystical quality.

.

.

.

.

And the deep peace and quiet of the landscape.

.

.

.

.

Combined with the soft rhythmic sound of the train on the tracks.

.

.

.

.

Helps you to let go more deeply.

.

.

.

.

To feel a connection with the peace and majesty of this environment.

.

.

.

.

To the sounds you now hear.

.

.

.

.

The sight of the snowy landscape.

.

.

.

.

Along with the sensation of sinking deeply down into your bed.

.

.

.

.

Helps you to drift and float into sleep.

.

.

.

.

To drift into the land of your dreams.

.

.

.

.

Feeling so tranquil.

.

.

.

.

Quiet.

.

.

.

.

And still.

.

.

.

.

To further deepen your sense of ease and relaxation.

.

.

.

.

I will guide you through a soothing body scan.

.

.

.

.

And as your attention travels over your body.

.

.

.

.

You feel that part relax more deeply.

.

.

.

.

Your mind feeling quieter and more peaceful as your body relaxes.

.

.

.

.

Your mind and body always connected.

.

.

.

.

Working in harmony.

.

.

.

.

So bringing your attention now to the top of your head.

.

.

.

.

And very slowly.

.

.

.

.

Gently.

.

.

.

.

Travelling down to your forehead.

.

.

.

.

And softly over your eyes.

.

.

.

.

Aware of all those tiny facial muscles letting go.

.

.

.

.

You're feeling happy.

.

.

.

.

Serene.

.

.

.

.

And content.

.

.

.

.

Drawing down your face.

.

.

.

.

Your cheeks.

.

.

.

.

Your nose.

.

.

.

.

Your ears.

.

.

.

.

Lightly down to your jaw.

.

.

.

.

Parting your teeth just a little.

.

.

.

.

Allowing the sensation of peace and tranquillity to flow through you.

.

.

.

.

Through your body.

.

.

.

.

Your mind.

.

.

.

.

Your emotions.

.

.

.

.

Soothed and calmed deeper and deeper down.

.

.

.

.

Travelling slowly now down the back of your head.

.

.

.

.

And softly down the back of your neck.

.

.

.

.

Across your shoulders.

.

.

.

.

Feeling heavier and heavier.

.

.

.

.

As you sink more deeply down into your bed.

.

.

.

.

Continuing down your arms.

.

.

.

.

To your hands.

.

.

.

.

To the fingertips of your fingers.

.

.

.

.

Quieter and quieter still.

.

.

.

.

Breathing deeply in.

.

.

.

.

And slowly out.

.

.

.

.

You're aware of that ease and tranquillity.

.

.

.

.

As it flows across your chest.

.

.

.

.

And softly down to your tummy.

.

.

.

.

Across your upper back.

.

.

.

.

And gently down.

.

.

.

.

Down.

.

.

.

.

Down.

.

.

.

.

All the way down to your lower back.

.

.

.

.

Continuing down your buttocks and your pelvis.

.

.

.

.

To your legs.

.

.

.

.

Your thighs.

.

.

.

.

Your knees.

.

.

.

.

Your calves.

.

.

.

.

Ankles.

.

.

.

.

To your feet.

.

.

.

.

All the way down to the tips of your toes.

.

.

.

.

Your whole body feeling so relaxed and quiet.

.

.

.

.

Letting go to deeper and deeper levels of peace and serenity than you have ever known before.

.

.

.

.

And as you are feeling so very relaxed.

.

.

.

.

Know that your mind is open to the positive suggestions I now make.

.

.

.

.

That you make these changes naturally and easily to help you during the Christmas time.

.

.

.

.

So that you find yourself flowing and enjoying the present moment.

.

.

.

.

In your everyday waking state.

.

.

.

.

You feel just as peaceful.

.

.

.

.

Happy.

.

.

.

.

And content as you do right now.

.

.

.

.

Trusting in yourself to take these qualities with you during the holiday season.

.

.

.

.

Wherever you go.

.

.

.

.

Whether you are at home.

.

.

.

.

With family or friends.

.

.

.

.

Or colleagues.

.

.

.

.

But just by bringing your attention to the now.

.

.

.

.

By tuning in to your senses.

.

.

.

We will sense of sight.

.

.

.

.

Sound.

.

.

.

.

Touch.

.

.

.

.

Taste.

.

.

.

.

And smell.

.

.

.

.

It is as if you are turning the volume down on your thoughts.

.

.

.

.

And the sense of peace and serenity and wellbeing increases and flows naturally and easily through your mind and body.

.

.

.

.

Maintaining always your sense of perspective.

.

.

.

.

Small things are just small things.

.

.

.

.

So that your emotions and your thoughts are focused and positive.

.

.

.

.

Knowing that in the present moment you are always held in the loving kindness and protection of your higher self.

.

.

.

.

Because as you relax more deeply and become more aware of the peace and tranquility that is always in the background of your being.

.

.

.

.

You easily step into an attitude of wellbeing and gratitude.

.

.

.

.

Fulfillment.

.

.

.

.

And ability to step into this peaceful frame of mind.

.

.

.

.

Has a positive effect on all those around you.

.

.

.

.

You can see how your tranquil energy has an encouraging effect on those you love.

.

.

.

.

On your family and friends.

.

.

.

.

On colleagues and loved ones.

.

.

.

.

Only helping you to further deepen your ability to anchor and flow in the present moment.

.

.

.

.

Knowing always that this is the best moment.

.

.

.

.

The time where your truth and strength are available to you whenever you need them.

.

.

.

.

So continue to relax now.

.

.

.

.

And trust that this knowing.

.

.

.

.

Deeper intuition.

.

.

.

.

And peaceful state of mind.

.

.

.

.

Remains with you at all times.

.

.

.

.

Wherever you are.

.

.

.

.

And with whoever you are with.

.

.

.

.

Trusting that your senses.

.

.

.

.

Your body.

.

.

.

.

Have the powerful capacity to free you from all stress and negativity.

.

.

.

.

By tuning into the subtle energy of the sensation of your body.

.

.

.

.

You turn down all the volume created by stress and anxiety.

.

.

.

.

So that everything naturally quiets and stills.

.

.

.

.

Noticing immediately the deeper sense of peace.

.

.

.

.

Contentment.

.

.

.

.

Well-being.

.

.

.

.

That are always with you.

.

.

.

.

In every moment of the now.

.

.

.

.

I will now do a slow,

Relaxing countdown from 10 to 0.

.

.

.

.

To help you drift more deeply into sleep.

.

.

.

.

So that you find you are asleep by the time I reach zero.

.

.

.

.

Drifting down into sleep.

.

.

.

.

Into the land of your dreams.

.

.

.

.

To sleep deeply and peacefully throughout the night.

.

.

.

.

And to take with you all the benefits of this session into your everyday waking state.

.

.

.

.

So that you feel.

.

.

.

.

Know.

.

.

.

Experience.

.

.

.

.

Your own internal peace and tranquility during the Christmas season.

.

.

.

.

And beyond.

.

.

.

Starting on 10.

Drifting down into deep,

Restorative sleep.
