Your channel Michelle aka Michelle’s Sanctuary and Meditation Vacation aka Christian Thomas have been my comfort and company through a mental / nervous breakdown that I didn’t know I was going through until I got close to the end of the darkest nights and was able to see some light at the end of the tunnel.. maybe that’s why l love the train travel meditations so much 😊💕👋
@@janed7774 what a beautiful comment, Jane, and thank you so much for sharing. Trains are such magical places... and that light is at the end of the tunnel. I do remember during a hard time in my life someone told me the light may seem to be at the end of the tunnel but you are actually the light you seek. Hope you enjoy this and dream away!
I have parder willy syndrome so I can’t sleep beacause food is my main focus of my Brian so sleep I need you have gift me a great gift . Thank you so much for helping me sleeping and using your tlent
Wow.. this creation really reaches another level! I must have gone to bed with this one 5 times already and still haven't gotten to the end. You really engaged all of our feelings and senses with all the descriptions of the wind, the dining car, the food, drinks, and the ambient train sounds. You wrapped us up in a cozy blanket with all of these elements. So lovely! Just a minor thing - it was a bit hard to understand Christian's voice. I listened on a couple of devices (even high-end noise cancelling earbuds) and the pitch was just so low, it was hard to make out the words. Regardless, I really loved this one and will come back to it many times again. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback-- he has such a lower voice and so as to not startle people with a male's voice it was mixed in a bit low. I'm glad it's helping you sleep!
This is great! I'm looking forward to your collaboration. Christian is also in my "Top Shelf" for guided sleep meditations. His train & rain-themed are my favorites from him. When I played one to my mother who has sleep issues also, I realized I did not remember anything near the end. zzzZZZ (Reminder Set) Thank you, Michelle! 💐
This is my favourite sleep story. There's something magical about it. Every time I listen to it I hear something different, and I never hear all of it, so it is always new.
I been listening to Christian of Meditation Vacation for 4 years maybe 5 now but when I heard his voice in this it made me stop and I was like, what you doing here?! 😂❤❤
Me too-- I often imagine an empty freight train car with the doors open out onto the night as moonlight pours in whenever I need to let go of something. Hope you enjoy this!
I have been following Christian for years and love when my favorite content creators hook up! Thanks for all that you do in helping the healing of restful sleep.
Thank you Michelle and friend! That was such a beautiful surreal experience. I’ve tried to listen to the whole trip but keep falling asleep. And the best part is.. I dream I’ve jumped on that train and had a great time😎 Thank you for your magic😇🧜🏻🕊
Oh my goodness two nights in a row and I pass out!!!!! I never even make it halfway lol Michelle’s stories are all awesome but I am a sucker for train stories - hopefully one day I can stay semi conscious and hear the story
I love this! Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to fall asleep quickly? Hope you continue to dream away with this one (and maybe one day hear or dream the whole story!).
I'm not sure what to say, because it was so interesting story, but I got startled every time Christian spoke (although he has such soft and soothing voice). Jumped a bit even 🤣 Anyway, thank you 💖🙌🏼
I was concerned this could happen-- probably more so with those who listen to me more than Christian. Sorry it startled you! But thank you for giving it a try!
Ahhh I can't wait for this!! Your train ones are amongst my very favourites. There's just something so hypnotically relaxing about the sounds and the imagined motion as earth flies by the windows. Thank you again lovely!! 🥰❤️🙏
your voice is soooooo soothing to me!!!! kind of threw me a bit with the male voice lol was still amazing I think I'm super use to your voice😊😊😊 I broke my foot in 4 places and I'm in a lot of discomfort having trouble getting comfortable so I think I will listen to your rainy collection now😊😊 sending love and light your way❤ thanks for yet another great story🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌷
I figured that may happen to some listeners because it was so different! But it was fun to create something new. I am so sorry for your broken foot. I can only imagine how uncomfortable that must be. Hope you heal quickly and that the pain subsides! 💜
That was such a treat from you both! Loved the vivid imagery and listening to Christian's voice was very soothing and comforting. Would love to see more of your collaboration s together. Thank you!!
Two of my favourite voices to fall asleep to in one story - and it's a train journey too! This was wonderful. I only ever listen to you two and Soothing Pod for sleep meditations. I look forward to more collaborations in the future. Thank you.
It was amazing! But now I am spoiled soooo um I believe Im going to need a collab with you and Snooze with Sam next. You, Christian and Sam are hands down the best!
I loved it. A train journey and what a great concept. A dream train is very much like a ghost train. I tried so hard to stay awake through it because I thoroughly enjoyed this journey but of a relaxing sleep occurred. I’m looking for another adventure.
@@MichellesSanctuary Hi. I go back and forth between iPhone and iPad. I’m not sure why I have 2 different call signs for them. But my sentiment is the same. I really enjoy your readings and after your stories are finished I back them up with a similar themed sleep background sounds to carry me till morning. I.e train stories with distant train sound.
Great work, I'd love to see a collaboration with sleepy cat meditation or honest guys meditation! I think your voices would mesh nicely and their use of sound effects enhances the immersion.
Wonderful collaboration between Michelle’s Sanctuary and Christian Thomas Meditation Vacation! Love all of Christian’s meditations. I feel the same about Michelle’s Stories! Thank you for all you do. xoxo
this is absolutely beautiful - wonderful work from both of you, I think I just about made it to the end of Christian's part before I was rocked to sleep by the train! ❤️
Keep up the good work, Michelle. I love it when someone has a soothing voice like yours. A voice worth calming an anxious heart, and relaxes tearful eyes.💧
Michelle, this is an outstanding narrative on so many levels...you know I tend to read things very deeply. The imagery and messages of this story are so appealing and soothing. And, this is a great collaboration! I had never heard about Christian Thomas before, but I am now subscribed to his channel as well. Thank you!
He's been a wonderful ally during the past couple years and I"m glad you checked out his channel! I'm so glad you appreciated this one. Not often do the visuals of my stories stay with me but I have found so much comfort every time I think of the open freight car and the freedom it evokes.
I really have to say Michelle that you and Christian make an excellent team, I absolutely loved this one, it was absolutely beautiful, thank you so very much,love as always 🙏💖
Thanks, Larry! As you can imagine it's vital for creators to collaborate to stay relevant in the ever-changing landscape that is UA-cam. I considered it may have this effect with some people's experience but as a creator it's so nice to try new things.
@@MichellesSanctuary I cannot imagine you ever being irrelevant but I do understand marketing creating and business. I have listened to lots of meditation videos I like a lot of creators for various reasons. I have a baritone voice not quite as naturally deep as Alden but I can and with a British accent I could be Benedict Cumberbatch or Alden and it’s like the voice in my head. Jason Stephenson has a higher pitch and an Ausie accent so to me it sounds more pleasant then my voice (so to speak ). No pun intended. I wasn’t going to comment but I wanted to be honest. Now if this were Macbeth I’d opt for him.
Thanks for your feedback, Rachel! I know some things don't work for everyone and I'm really glad you gave it a try! This Sunday's release will go back to my voice only.

I'm so glad you enjoy this one! It meant a lot to me writing it-- sweet dreams!

Just come here from Christian’s channel. About to listen to this one. Thank you
Welcome, Joanne! I hope you enjoy the journey on a train!
Can’t wait so excited!
Yay! Dream away!
Hi Michelle hope all is well your way this story sounds very good I love train stories
Me too-- I often imagine an empty freight train car with the doors open out onto the night as moonlight pours in whenever I need to let go of something. Hope you enjoy this!

He's an amazing friend and creator-- thanks for your kind words!
Thank you Michelle and friend!

And the best part is.. I dream I’ve jumped on that train and had a great time😎
Thank you for your magic😇🧜🏻🕊
How awesome! I have train dreams often and they always offer some guidance and insights. I'm glad you enjoyed this one.

Thanks again Michelle.
Peace and blessings. 💜💜💜 . Do purple hearts represent friendship.
I think they can represent whatever we would like them to. But purple is my favourite colour. Sweet dreams!
Gotcha 💜

Great work, I'd love to see a collaboration with sleepy cat meditation or honest guys meditation!
I think your voices would mesh nicely and their use of sound effects enhances the immersion.
That would be a wonderful thing. I have reached out to Sleepy Cat in the past and would love to work with the Honest Guys.
Wonderful collaboration between Michelle’s Sanctuary and Christian Thomas Meditation Vacation! Love all of Christian’s meditations. I feel the same about Michelle’s Stories! Thank you for all you do. xoxo
Thank you! I'm so glad we were able to create this and that you enjoyed it!
Thank you both, this was wonderful. So wonderful that I fell asleep way before the end! I'm going to have to play it again and again...xx
Glad you enjoyed it and that it got you to sleep! Sweet dreams, Elizabeth!
Oh this was the best thank you both 💞💤 my two favorite on utube came together and made something wonderful 💞🥰
Thank you, Susan! I'm so glad it was well received-- it helps us both stay creative to do things like this.
This is my fav yet! I love both of you and this is great!
I'm so glad you enjoy it! It is always an honor to work with and have Christian in my life! Glad we could come together to create something new.

Thank you for this collaboration! I had not heard of Christian's channel so I will check it out!
He has some great meditations! I hope you enjoy them!

Keep up the good work, Michelle. I love it when someone has a soothing voice like yours. A voice worth calming an anxious heart, and relaxes tearful eyes.💧
Sorry if I happen to have another channel, when I have a profile that is blue.
Thank you so much, Sarah-- it means a lot and I am happy to offer a soothing voice in this often noisy world.

I really have to say Michelle that you and Christian make an excellent team, I absolutely loved this one, it was absolutely beautiful, thank you so very much,love as always 🙏💖
Thank you, Lynda-- I'm so happy to hear this. It was a pleasure to collaborate with him!
So excited for this collab! Can't wait until its bedtime ❤
Hope you enjoy and it starts you off to an amazing week!
Awesome! You and Christian are my top faves for sleep stories!
So glad we could collaborate so you can find us in one story! Sweet dreams.
Loved the story. Love your voice but found Christian aka Alden breaking the vibe. I like his work I love your work.

@@MichellesSanctuary
If I can wear a uniform and share the mic but I have to clear with my manager if I’m breaching ascap and equity contracts.
ahh i’ve been waiting for this one!!!
Hope you enjoy! 💜
Love ❤️😘 the team up 😂, hope we get more of this in the future. Great job 👍👌👍👍!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Alan! I love reading your comments and am so glad you enjoyed our collaboration!
What is your favorite sleep story/series? I think mine is the launderette series.
I'm glad you say that because next Sunday will have a new one!
@@MichellesSanctuary awesome!
Not a fan of the man’s voice.
