Thanks for the calming lovely stories. The three hour ones are so helpful for me. I’m 75 and live alone with Benny my cat 🐱 so I can play your stories at anytime.Bless you 💕
I'm so grateful for the opportunity not only to listen to your beautiful meditations and sleep stories but also to be a part of this wonderful community of people who listen regularly. Some of us seek to heal ourselves, to develop a calm focus on whatever we need to be our best self, boosting our own self care, to discover ways to improve our lives or simply to fall asleep to Michelle reading us a bedtime story. The supportive community I have found here has been a marvellous surprise. So I thank you all for caring for others you only know thru the comment section. The kind comments I've read and received always come at just the right time. I am encouraged daily and wanted each of you to know how much it means to me. And @Michelle's sanctuary. Michelle thank you for continuing to give us these incredibly detailed sleep stories that take me away from my present circumstances and help me to heal, to grow stronger and to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. Sending Blessings to everyone, Dot
Thank you, Dot... I'm so glad you are able to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I am so grateful for everyone in this sanctuary because everyone is coming to heal and sleep and there is kindness found here that I know can be rare on the internet. I did an interview last year and was asked how I handle putting myself out there and dealing with all the negativity and criticism. And I responded that I have very rarely experienced it with this endeavour and I am so grateful. And for those who are unkind, I figure they probably haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. I hope we can all continue this journey and dream away.
That is wonderful! At times when I am editing, I have my pup and cat by my side dreaming away, sometimes taking over the couch while I edit on a stool. Hope to keep bringing you both some cozy moments for sleep. 💜
Bless you for these stories. They have helped me deal with my anxiety and insomnia. My therapist has even recommended you to other patients so we now have a happy group who love to “Dream Away.”Your cottage stories are some of my favorites- I am delighted to have this mix.
I'm enjoying these stories too. I often wake too early and it's very hard to fall back to sleep, especially when I wake with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed. These stories and a couple of benadryl, eyes get heavy an hour and change later.
There is something that makes the tears fall and fall listening to this one. Your tone full of love, the words that are so deeply beautiful about how important my life is, and how intrinsically connected my heart and soul are to the stars above, the moon and the oceans. I've never known such an emotionally vibrant meditation. It has left me speechless and feeling loved and I find it very very emotional.
Aww. This is such a beautiful comment (as many of yours are). Can you imagine if everyone in the world took a moment to feel this way daily? Or sleep? Or be motivated by connection? It would be a better place. 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary People who don't take a moment to reflect on their connection to essence and expansion have no idea what they are missing. I am just grateful that your Sanctuary is a means for so many of us to do so. Thank you. 🙏
Omg this was a god send as I lie here with an ankle I broke last week and now Covid… being able to escape with my dog and sink into a hot spa … how perfect the fires just come on and my dog is snuggled with me with my favourite cuppa in my favourite cup… I am definitely struggling to sleep but can escape with this and even reach over and touch my dog who is next to me and hope she is imagining the same story… she certainly is content
Sending you the warmest wishes for a speedy recovery. Your poor body certainly got hit with a lot for such a short period of time! So happy you can bring your pup along. Feel better! 💜
Thank you my trusted lovely friend for nights of your wisdom your presence your kindness and your being there in the darkness of night to bring hugs to my soul
My actual dreams are pretty annoying but the dreams you evoke prior to sleep are delicious. I awoke last night when my phone went forward to the next videos and had Jason Stephenson in my ear. Now I like Jason, but in my half woke mind I had to refind you. Once I did my post covid booster side effects were much more tolerable. I’m deeply invested in someone who knows I have not one but three of those old fashioned audio systems sleep on a couch and has a wire hair fox terrier which is why I sleep on the couch.

I can't wait for bedtime tonight Michelle, it's going to be so lovely with loki curled up on my feet as usual 😂, thankyou sweetie, as always love and hugs 💖💖💖
Thank you for this Michelle, I love your cottage stories. I've always wanted to visit one irl but never am able to. Thanks to you I can experience them in my mind :)
@@MichellesSanctuary Honestly, an hour is usually enough for me. But I cue up two videos just in case. Since all of your combo videos are three hours, you might want to do that for consistency, but you don't have to. Thanks for asking!
This story is very inviting. I can’t wait for bedtime. Nice jacuzzi, cozy pjs and clean bedding with this story makes for a wonderful deep sleep. Thanks so much for this added part of my sanctuary.
I agree with Diane on the three hour ones being my favorite.. I have an 18 month old and I think the longer ones not o lay help me fall asleep but they help him fall asleep also... Ur my fav bedtime story teller so thank you and God bless.. be safe
I'm so glad you listen together-- I am going to create some more longer collections soon! Thank you for your kind words and being part of this sanctuary, Elizabeth!
Always look forward to Sunday’s, thank you so so much for sharing these they’ve helped me get over my panic attacks, i appreciate the effort you put into these
You have the voice of an Angel 😇 I love all your stories and listening to your voice. It’s so relaxing. Thank you 🙏🏼 for all your hard work and god bless you.
I have recently endured a trauma, which led to heart break, intense fear, And many sleepless nights. These meditation stories helped so much ; I am grateful for them. Never want to lose these tools. Thank you for your gift.
I'm so glad these are helping, Ashley. I'm sorry that you have been through so much and I hope you keep finding things to make you feel safe and loved. Thanks for being part of this sanctuary. 💜
Wherever you are, Ashley and Michelle...I wish you both that you find strength and healing. There is much in this life to live and enjoy. My best wishes.
Journey you're as good as Jody Whiteley who I adored and still to this day and you are on your way up you're different you're bright you give us a visual that we so desperately need. hope, peace, and snuggles as we go to bed rest are weary heads. And wake up with a fresh new look on life. More magic ♥️
Thank you, Deena-- I still adore her. Listening to her made me realize how much I would love even more visualizations and journeys-- and yes to the fresh look on life! I know it gets harder as time goes on, especially with the weight of the past couple years, but to me it feels like a treasure hunt for collecting moments of bliss and beauty. Have a great week!
But, unless I missed it, It's not really a bedtime STORY though exactly. I mean it's nice and all. It didn't wake me up or anything. I just really like the idea of some reading me a bedtime story as grown adult person. Makes me feel all privileged and pampered like a king or something. "I wish to be entertained. Very well. Now read me a story."
Well this isnt' a daytime story. And the beginning is a sleep meditation. It's simply told in the second person as choose-your-own adventure stories were once told.
I came here battling with insomnia. Hoping this channel would do me some good. But su far, Im not noticing anvthing different. hold on, sorry I had to yawn... Ok, What was I talkingabout? Oh yeah, like I was sazzzzzzzzz....
Whoa...right around 58.00 minutes, your voice goes from monotone to normal (I'm not sure what your normal voice is because the new commercials sound like a different person too, but such is the life of an actress 😊)
Thank you for saying so, Chelsea. I can only imagine the people who are the most unkind and feel the need to be critical are more sleep-deprived than anyone. Or need attention and it's the only way they know how to get it. 🤷♀ Always strange, as I create all this for people who do enjoy it to have access for free. The world would be a better place if everyone got more sleep and was kinder.
They absolutely must be sleep deprived! And on that note, I love this video…or what I’ve heard of it anyway since I always fall asleep so quickly with it!
Isn’t the whole idea of sleeping to shut down the brain? Me listening to this is going to keep me awake because I am going to concentrate on what happens next. I never tried it but I also have zero problems falling asleep as I’ve Botton a dream bed mattress and I sleep like a baby.
I encourage everyone to use what works for them. Not a single person on this planet has an identical experience. And for those who do respond to soothing stories, or meditation, I will continue to create content.
Because tens of thousands of people sleep better with a story playing. Everyone's sleep needs and experiences are different. Hope you find what works for you.
Started out rather promising but you LOST me and I moved on to another post after 3:47 at the mention of the dog and the later the pup. Be mindful as a LOT OF US are allergic to dogs. Totally ruined it for me. Good luck!
Interesting. I've had people allergic to dogs who reach out and ask me specifically to create these so they can experience this without consequence and how much they would love to spend time with a dog in their dreams. Everyone is different. I'm mindful of that, which is why I have over 300 stories. And also why I am very clear that while I am the guide, everyone can leave or take aspects of a story. Because your imagination is key.
Hey there. First, apologies, if that came across as a negative remark; by no means! As a writer/narrator, I absolutely get the "show, don't tell aspect" of it all, and it is, in fact, a balancing act and a fine line - how much do you tell and how much do you show? Good stuff, nonetheless. Keep it up and good luck.
Have you tried skipping the meditation and going directly to the story? There are chapters to help with that. Some people enjoy the meditation. Others skip it.
There are chapters-- go straight to the story if you don't enjoy the intro. I make this customizable so people can listen in a way that works for them.
Thank you for making this long video with just your words and not sounds; I don’t wake up now when you’re done talking and I love how long it is bc it sometimes takes me a long time to fall asleep!!
Thank you for this feedback-- I am going to keep doing this with the releases of my collections. I realize it's a length that helps a lot of people. I'm so glad it's working for you!
I love all of your cabin/cottage stories, they are the best! Especially when you put them together for the longer experience! Your creativity and storytelling always put me at ease and brings me so much peace! Fingers crossed when winter is closer we will see a snowy collection😀😀😀 I would be so appreciative! Thank you again Michelle for all the happiness you continue to share!!!❤
Absolutely-- I would love if I could write a story that long... could be possible. Maybe if it went from various settings! I would love to revisit the story I did where you pass through holiday cards or winter scenes and then join them. Sweet dreams, and as always, thank you for your positive energy!
I love the two or three hours bedtime stories. Usually I can't sleep the whole night straight, so when I wake up I put my headphones on and listen to your stories.
Thank you so much for these beautiful experiences. I would never have survived the last few years without these. I look forward to every Sunday night especially for new stories. ❤
Thank you very much these 3 hours are perfect for me and I keep coming back. Your voice is so soothing and it’s just long enough for me to stay asleep or either a full sleep or for a nap. Thank you
Beyond grateful 🙏...Michelle you are a magical star in a world i need to visit and find permanent residence if I should be blessed when I dream away 🙏 ✨ 🥰😙😇
Sorry girl. Not working for me. You’ve got me feeling like I have ADD with the way you keep switching from image to image so Fast. I think you need to Work on this a little bit. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback. As you can imagine everyone wants and needs a different pace. For everyone who says it’s so fast I have a whole other group of people who say it’s too slow. Hope you found something that worked better!
I love the stories and your accent and calm voice, but the sound is too sharp for my ears, especially words with the letter S, so l can't listen to them.
Thank you. I was deeply relaxed and I was able to imagine being with my Tika dog again. I miss her and will always love her very much and it was wonderful to be with her again even if just for dreams.
I know how much the loss of a beloved pet can linger but like you, imagining and dreaming of adventures together has always helped me feel better. The love never goes away. And we are so lucky to experience it. 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary I agree and thank you so much. Your gift helps so many people. I'm so glad you discovered That you have this gift and decided to share it with the world. You are a wonderful person with a beautiful soul and a precious gift and you give so freely to all. May you be blessed 10 fold for every life you touch!
Thanks for the calming lovely stories. The three hour ones are so helpful for me. I’m 75 and live alone with Benny my cat 🐱 so I can play your stories at anytime.Bless you 💕
How wonderful-- I wish the both of you nights of snuggling and great sleep-- hope you enjoy my new Animal Lovers collection of stories. Sweet dreams!
Benny is a great cat name, sweet dreams!
Sleep well Diane & Benny! One of my kitties, Friskie Fuzziebutt says hello & sweet dreams 😸🙏🏼❤️🐾🐾❤️
Hi Diane! I’m glad you’ve found comfort. My kitties relax with stories too.
Good night to you and Benny
I am 10 years old and Before I found you I suffered from insomnia now I get to sleep within minutes. Keep being you god bless ❤❤❤
Thanks for writing and being part of this sanctuary, Sofia!

This is my self-care. This is my pocket of peace that feels so personal to me

Ok,
What was I talkingabout?
Oh yeah, like I was sazzzzzzzzz....
😂 what a great comment. Keep yawning! Keep dreaming away.
I can't help but think of HAL 9000 from 2001 when I hear this voice.
Well, if I were Hal 9000 I could have retired by now!
NICE VOICE HONEY ! I ENYOJ LISTEN YOU !
Thank you so much! Dream away!
Whoa...right around 58.00 minutes, your voice goes from monotone to normal (I'm not sure what your normal voice is because the new commercials sound like a different person too, but such is the life of an actress 😊)

I thought it was a story, bo...... ring
It’s more than one story. There are chapters for each one. Boredom can be a great sleep tonic.
This was not a story.
?
Look no offense but there is no way one could fall asleep listening to a voice as sultry as yours.
And yet somehow millions have. 🤷♀️ If you need some recommendations for male voices, Meditation Vacation and Michael Sealey are great.
An ah sound 😂😂😂
You take too long. I am going to fall asleep out of shear boredom.
Have you tried the chapters? You do know you can click ahead to any story you want if you want to skip the intro or guided meditation?
You talk to much & not enough storys
Have you tried skipping the meditation and going directly to the story? There are chapters to help with that. Some people enjoy the meditation. Others skip it.
Nice voice but boring
Hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep. But if not hope you find something more exciting that works for you.
Her voice drives me nuts
Definitely don't listen to something that drives you nuts! Hope you find something else that works. Your peace is important.
Stop telling how and get on with it
There are chapters-- go straight to the story if you don't enjoy the intro. I make this customizable so people can listen in a way that works for them.
Creepy voice. Couldn't even make it to the first story.
Sorry it didn’t work. So many options on TH-cam- hope you find one that soothes you!
She is the female version of Mr. Rogers. Definitely a nice soothing voice. But can't please everyone.
A bit harsh and unnecessary comment
Thank you for making this long video with just your words and not sounds; I don’t wake up now when you’re done talking and I love how long it is bc it sometimes takes me a long time to fall asleep!!
Thank you for this feedback-- I am going to keep doing this with the releases of my collections. I realize it's a length that helps a lot of people. I'm so glad it's working for you!
I love all of your cabin/cottage stories, they are the best! Especially when you put them together for the longer experience! Your creativity and storytelling always put me at ease and brings me so much peace! Fingers crossed when winter is closer we will see a snowy collection😀😀😀 I would be so appreciative! Thank you again Michelle for all the happiness you continue to share!!!❤
Absolutely-- I would love if I could write a story that long... could be possible. Maybe if it went from various settings! I would love to revisit the story I did where you pass through holiday cards or winter scenes and then join them. Sweet dreams, and as always, thank you for your positive energy!
Yes, I am enjoying them as well. Nice calming voice.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY!!!!
Thank you for being part of this sanctuary! 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary all
I love the two or three hours bedtime stories. Usually I can't sleep the whole night straight, so when I wake up I put my headphones on and listen to your stories.
There are a few I have in mind to create soon!
This helped me go to sleep 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Yay-- sweet dreams!
Ah, the gorgeous imagery. I'm going to do this meditation now. Thank you Michelle. 💙
Another bumper, safe haven- fest to help me sleep and dream away. Thank you Michelle 🙌🌠🙌
💜💜 Thank you, Debbie-- you deserve a safe haven so keep finding your joy and sleep where you can!
Thank you so much for these beautiful experiences. I would never have survived the last few years without these. I look forward to every Sunday night especially for new stories. ❤
I'm so glad that they've helped-- thank you for being part of this sanctuary!
Thank you very much these 3 hours are perfect for me and I keep coming back. Your voice is so soothing and it’s just long enough for me to stay asleep or either a full sleep or for a nap. Thank you
💜💜 I plan on working on a few more and releasing them soon!
Thank you do much. Love the soothing sound of your voice and it is so peacefull thst I fall asleep too soon.❤
You’re welcome 😊 and thank so for being so kind and supportive!
I love the vids im so relaxed
Sweet dreams!
I am happy to find a female voice. Those other stories with men telling them either annoy me or creep me out. Thanks, Michelle, for doing this.
So beautiful. You are so sweet.
Thank you, Laraine-- sweet dreams!
Here again tonight ✨ thank you
Always happy that you've returned! 💜
Thank you so much for this. Some of my favorite stories all wrapped up! Thank you!
I'm so glad-- I want to create a few more collections. Dream away! 💜
Beyond grateful 🙏...Michelle you are a magical star in a world i need to visit and find permanent residence if I should be blessed when I dream away 🙏 ✨ 🥰😙😇
Thank you-- your comment made my day. Wishing you the best in 2022, Paula!
Sorry girl. Not working for me. You’ve got me feeling like I have ADD with the way you keep switching from image to image so
Fast. I think you need to
Work on this a little bit. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback. As you can imagine everyone wants and needs a different pace. For everyone who says it’s so fast I have a whole other group of people who say it’s too slow. Hope you found something that worked better!
You forgot about the mice in the cabin/cottage lol
Haha, they are too happy enjoying the fields.
I love the stories and your accent and calm voice, but the sound is too sharp for my ears, especially words with the letter S, so l can't listen to them.
Thank you for the feedback-- I think this is an issue that was occurring with these earlier recordings.
Thank you. I was deeply relaxed and I was able to imagine being with my Tika dog again. I miss her and will always love her very much and it was wonderful to be with her again even if just for dreams.
I know how much the loss of a beloved pet can linger but like you, imagining and dreaming of adventures together has always helped me feel better. The love never goes away. And we are so lucky to experience it. 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary I agree and thank you so much. Your gift helps so many people. I'm so glad you discovered That you have this gift and decided to share it with the world. You are a wonderful person with a beautiful soul and a precious gift and you give so freely to all. May you be blessed 10 fold for every life you touch!
Perfect timing! Thank you 💓💓
My pleasure-- sweet cottage dreams!
Good grief! I wanted a story not a damn dissertation!
Have you tried using chapters? You can go directly to the story. Sorry this upset you so much. But its customizable. Sweet dreams.
