Michelle's Sanctuary Stories for Sleep

Күн бұрын

Fall asleep fast with this calm bedtime story for grown-ups with soothing water sounds. Narrated by a relaxing female voice, "The Waterfall Cottage" uses subtle asmr to help you fall into a deep sleep.
In the heart of the woods is a waterfall cottage created decades ago to create harmony with the natural environment and a cozy home. The whimsical dwelling offers a getaway, far from modern concerns and noise. Enjoy a picnic in a meadow of wildflowers and a walk through the forest. Nightfall brings brisk air and you gather by a wood stove in the cottage, overlooking the waterfall basking in opulent moonlight. You fall into a deep sleep beneath skylights in the bedroom suite beneath the stars and moon. It's time to dream away.

Well that was super effective ! I’m gobsmacked at how fast I fell asleep. Woke up 3 hours later for a visit to the bathroom and dog putting and restarted your story. Excited that this time I’ll be able to hear it. 5 min in (I’m guessing) I’m out like a light. Will listen again tonight ! And I am having more dreams since trying to remember them, but it’s just flash’s. Sleep has become something to look forward to. Thanks for your magic Michelle! Source given😇💥

Dear Michelle, I just loved this (and I haven't heard all of it yet as I had a migraine, but will listen to the rest tonight). I love the whole story of the architect - your descriptions just conjure up such wonderful imagery and make my imagination run away. Thank you for your soothing voice. I've had so many bad nights lately, and I don't know why I forget to play your stories. You always make me sleep so peacefully! Sending love from western Canada, Jane

@MichellesSanctuary Жыл бұрын

Thank you, Jane-- I'm so glad they open your mind to beautiful imagery. I'm glad you enjoyed that piece, it was inspired by a few women who inspired me in their field during a time when they were the only women doing certain things. Writing it made me wish I was an architect!

Hello Michelle. You are so very awesome. I am currently having a bit of fear and sadness about my future. I don't want anything scary to happen to me, and that makes me cry or something. 🥺 I am thankful that music and soft voices make me feel good. I saw the videos that say that I am okay and it's all good. I think I will listen to that during my nap time today.

@MichellesSanctuary Жыл бұрын

You are okay and sending you love and encouragement. Let that fear and sadness have some space so you can release it when you're ready. It's normal to feel this way at times-- keep taking care of yourself and hopefully these stories help you to imagine the best possible outcome for the things that you are concerned with. 💜

What shall I bring for picnic?

@joed7759 Жыл бұрын

your most comfy pj's, pillows and blankets is a must! lol

@larrymarcus3176 Жыл бұрын

I’d never sleep at a picnic. It’s a time for debauchery of gustatory things like food and drink. If I’m hosting it I know what I want to consume. What do others want? I’m thinking a chicken salad made with smoked mozzarella, scallions, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, a slice of provolone on a baguette balsamic oil dressing. Lemon bars for dessert or pie, beverage maybe a dry Shiraz. Maybe a fresh fruit in season salad. Only blanket needed is for picnic. No pillows or pj needed.

@MichellesSanctuary Жыл бұрын

@@larrymarcus3176 I suppose it depends when the picnic is taking place. In this, it happens during the day-- I have more burrata and mozz from teaching this weekend than I can consume. Sounds like the perfect menu, although I have a penchant for oven roasted tomatoes that are marinated and my chardonnay preferences are in line with what was trendy in the 1980s. Nostalgic, like many other choices in my life.

@larrymarcus3176 Жыл бұрын

You can bring them. I’ll provide some artisanal wheat crackers and a fine not so retro Chardonnay that isn’t oakie. It’s also organic very tasty. Or a vintage 70’s pouilly fuisse. The smoked moz is sparse in salad just for that little bit of smoke the prov is just a thin slice. The lemon bars are truly to die for. Place I get them makes the best I’ve ever had or blonde brownies. Now I’m craving all this and it’s Labor Day. Maybe during the week. Today it’s ribs burgers dogs and German potato salad and corn unless it’s storming then it’s pizza. @@MichellesSanctuary
