Hello and welcome to this meditation.

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

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

Get as comfortable as you can and at any time on the way 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 each breath you take.

A nice full breath in and slowly exhale and in your breath return to normal now.

Just observe your mind now it is thinking various things about your life in your day.

Observe how perhaps visual moments flash into your mind or maybe you feel them you may be able to hear sounds your thoughts as they present themselves.

Letting images from your life fade now bring your imagination to where you're 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.

The long train extends into the horizon.

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

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

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 is perfectly comfortable.

You're positioned in a way you're 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 sense the smell of hay in 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.

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 relief because you know you're in for a long relaxing ride.

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

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

The station bells get louder as your wagon passes by this small station in the middle of nowhere and then they pass by.

The ringing sounds even fainter till you can't 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's still light and it will be sunset very soon.

You can see 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 the trees nearby passing a little slower and in the distance some rolling mountains are moving as so slowly as you ride.

Look out into this nature.

Just enjoy its beauty.

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

The colours of the sunset begins to create view and brand new.

The pinks and yellows of the sky fade into the bright blue and then to the deep blue of the night sky.

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

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

A meadow of golden colours are passing by the train.

Every now and then an old giant oak tree passes by,

Standing proudly in the sprawling fields of gold.

This view is mesmerising.

You're not thinking about anything other than the beauty you're witnessing.

You're getting more and more relaxed and feeling grateful for these beautiful moments in the twilight.

The train is very comfortable and you're ready for a restful night's sleep.

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

Your eyes are becoming heavy with sleep.

As you watch the day turn into darkness,

The wide meadows have passed by and trains entering the forest.

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

Dark has settled and yet there is a 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 a moment to gaze around the wagon and view nature.

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

Sleep comes and restores me and heals me.

Night time is my time to fully rest and rejuvenate.

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

You've done all I need to do today.

Right now I don't have to do anything.

Sleep.

I breathe peacefully and easily,

Relaxing into my mind and body.

Sleep comes over me naturally and willingly.

As I become more relaxed and sleepy,

This gives my body time to heal.

You know how good this is for me right now.

Deep and restful sleep is possible every night.

I let go of worries and stress.

My breath is steady and slow,

Carrying me into the long night's sleep.

As I become sleepier and sleepier,

My brain slows.

My creativity increases.

This creative state is void of any worries or fears.

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

I am grateful for my day that I lived well.

Now it has become night.

Through sleeping and dreaming,

I accomplish strength of the arts that is 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 heavy and calm.

My muscles completely relax and any remaining tension completely fades.

My mind is quiet and clear.

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

I am grateful for my beautiful bed and pillow that supports 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 lie down on my soft blow,

I am greeted by sleep and I welcome this sensation.

I sleep so soundly,

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 things I like to do to prepare for getting to bed.

I tell all the lights.

As darkness releases melatonin into my body,

Eating in perfect rejuvenation.

Falling asleep once quickly without any effort.

Now drift and float,

Not thinking about anything in particular,

Just letting things come and go as they always do.

Sleep is encompassing me now.

The train is taking you along for a ride to a new and beautiful destination when you rise.

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