Welcome to Tranquil Sleep Meditation.
My name is Jacqueline and I am going to take you on a sleep journey where I will leave you to enjoy a tranquil night's sleep.
So first find a comfortable position in your bed.
Wiggle a little to get as comfortable as you can.
Begin to let go of all the tension you have built up throughout the day.
Pull the covers around you as you snuggle into your bed.
Move your head until it's in the most comfortable position upon your pillow and gently close your eyes.
Any worries you may have accumulated throughout the day seem to lose their power and intensity.
As you acknowledge them,
Then move them away.
As you settle down for the night.
You're feeling warm and cozy now as you allow your breath to become your only focus.
Take a nice full breath in.
Hold for a second and now slowly exhale.
And again.
A full breath in.
Hold for a second and slowly exhale.
One more time.
A full breath in.
Hold for a second and slowly exhale.
Allowing your breath to return to normal.
Just observe your steady breathing as you feel yourself relaxing more and more.
Now your body is relaxed.
It's time to relax your mind.
We are going on a journey.
A journey on a train.
You are walking towards a very long train that is parked out in the countryside at an old station in the middle of nowhere.
The train has many carriages which extend into the horizon.
You walk several carriages back and then open the door to one of the carriages.
You can see the workers getting ready for the train to depart.
You step up into the carriage and close the door behind you.
You hear the train horn blowing and the sounds of distant voices calling,
All aboard!
You open the window so you can enjoy the air and the smells of the countryside during your journey.
You take a seat and are pleased with how comfortable it feels.
As you gaze out of the window you can't wait for the train to begin to roll.
The weather is perfectly mild and soothing as you sense the smell of the countryside and notice the gentle breeze through the open window.
You begin to feel slight vibrations as the train powers up and you can hear the engine softly hissing as it builds enough power to pull the massive weight of the carriages.
A bell begins to ring alerting everyone that the train is leaving the station.
The train begins to roll very slowly and you know you are in for a long relaxing ride.
The vibrations under you get stronger as the train increases in speed.
You can hear the relaxing sounds of the wheels turning upon the tracks.
It's a soothing sound.
As you gaze out of the window you notice it is still daylight but the sun will be setting very soon.
You look around at the most beautiful views you have ever seen.
There are trees of every size and shape and in the distance some rolling hills.
What else can you see as you look around?
The sun is beginning to meet the horizon way out in the distance and the colors are breathtaking.
The pinks and yellows of the sky fade into the bright blue then into the deep blue of the night sky as it slowly mixes in.
The sunset is reflecting colors of purples mixed with oranges now and you also notice the meadows of warm golden colors as the train passes by.
The view is mesmerizing.
You are only aware of the beauty before you.
You are becoming more and more relaxed and feeling grateful for these beautiful moments in the twilight upon this train.
You are 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 now entering a forest.
The air cools just a bit and you can smell the trees as the train passes through.
Darkness has settled in but there is a bright moon peeking through the trees.
Giving a little light.
The sound of the train moving on the tracks.
The softness of the seat you are resting upon make you feel sleepy.
You rest your head back and you close your eyes.
No longer needing to see the forest outside of the train.
Now you just want to enjoy the comforting sounds around you as you rest your body.
You take a gentle breath and realize you are no longer sitting in the train's carriage.
You no longer hear the gentle hum of the train as it moves along the track.
You are back lying in your bed enjoying the warmth and softness of your blankets and pillow.
You feel very relaxed and comfortable.
As you prepare for sleep you remember the gorgeous views you saw from the train.
The beautiful colors in the sunset.
Then the tall trees in the forest.
Each one standing tall and proud.
You recall the calming sound of the train as it carried you on its journey.
That calm feeling is with you now as you prepare to sleep.
So many wonderful thoughts which fill your heart with joy.
A perfect feeling as you feel sleep getting closer.
Your body is relaxed.
Your mind is happy.
Your heart is warmed.
You are completely ready for sleep.
Tomorrow is a new day.
One you know will be filled with new things to make you smile.
Pretty sights and fun adventures.
But now your body and mind need sleep.
Now is a time to let go of any thoughts.
As sleep envelops you in its warmth.
As my voice softly fades away.
You fall into a deep deep sleep.
