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!

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!

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.
