Amidst all the rain and gale force winds, there was a mild evening through the cherry blossoms of Central Park that inspired me to write this week's story. 🌸 🎙Podcast: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelles-sanctuary/episodes/The-Cherry-Blossom-Train-Cozy-Bedtime-Story-for-Grown-Ups-e2hurgs Subscribe for more videos at my other channel, Michelle's Meditation Sanctuary! www.youtube.com/@MichellesMeditationSanctuary Gifts are always accepted, for those of you who wish you show appreciation: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/34QKQX4NZM7QL?ref_=wl_share www.buymeacoffee.com/michsanctuary www.paypal.me/michellessanctuary www.venmo.com/michellehotaling
Have you ever thought of doing a story about star gazing at the different constellations and planets and maybe visiting the planets? I think walking on the rings of Saturn 🪐 would be amazing!
Love this so much 🩷 Charlie dog approved. I’ve taken him on several train rides and he loves them, getting to have a companion on this ride made the story perfect for puppy snuggle dream time. Also pink is my favorite color so this was an absolute perfection of dreams!
This reminds me of my childhood home because we had a big cherry blossom tree in the front garden. Every time I hear about one or see one,it takes me back. Very good, Michelle 😊🦋
Looking forward to picnic. What’s on the menu? Lobster rolls? Real sloppy joes? The Jersey kind triple layer rye slices with roast beef corn beef pastrami and turkey with Russian dressing and coleslaw in between slices. Not chopped beef in tomato sauce! My dog gets car sick not sure about trains but she’ll love a picnic and possibly running the train or running madly through train cars. Happy solar eclipse Monday even if it’s cloudy
@@larrymarcus3176 I actually had to hop on the subway and then took a train minutes after the quake (that as a typical New Yorker I just assumed was a loud truck or construction as I looked out onto the street trying to find someone to blame). My block has been through a lot between ConEd and tearing up the street.
@@MichellesSanctuary I was putting laundry away upstairs I heard this weird roaring noise like a really low flying jet ready to crash and then my house began to shake the mirrored doors on the closet were bouncing around like some large animal was trying to o get out. My do started doing her anxious barking downstairs. To be honest I somehow knew it was a earthquake it lasted maybe 20 seconds but really freaked me out I was pretty shakey myself for a bit. Got hit with a tremor around 6 just a short burst rattling some dishes. I couldn’t live in California or Japan. My mothers still obsessed over it expecting lots more. I have to convince her not for another 200 years or more. In the meantime I have to convince myself too! Your story helps. My cherry tree is a European variety it will bloom within the next two weeks I’ll try wishing on the falling blossoms
Oh how I need this, I'm having a rough week Michelle, I'm hoping it'll get better before Sunday, I love the train journeys, hugs and kisses from Lynda 🙏 🤗 😘
You are so welcome. I hope the week gets easier- I really think this one may be magical for those who love cherry blossoms and beautiful spring landscapes.
Great story, loved it! Especially enjoyed the rain at the no rather than music. Music always wakes me up due to years of waking up to a clock radio!! Thanks Michelle, you’re the bomb!
Wauw!!! Thank you so much Michelle. When I did the suggestion for the autimn sleeper train every season it was almost exact what I hadvin mind for spring. Thank you. ❤
I thought about your comment when I was considering what to right and the aspects of the autumn sleeper train that seemed to resonate. I'm so glad it all came together in this story!
@MichellesSanctuary yes it certainly does. Thank you so much. It is just great. Can't wait for the winteredition. But i enjoy u one for now and then summer comes 😊 but real thanks. ❤
Thank you for all your stories and videos. It usually takes me nights and nights to actually hear ona through! What a great 'complaint ' really love all your snowy ones especially- so cozy, but great to move with the seasons. Really helps after stressful days. Thank you again 💓
I'm so glad they are effective for you! Every season seems to offer its own cozy moments but I agree-- I also find it easier to write and create when its snowy or rainy outside and I'm indoors. Sweet dreams! 🌸
Greeting Michelle I do like your train ones. The other one you did had a massage you did another with acupressure. Those are the best. Thse are very tactile for me .
So glad you enjoyed that one-- I did consider including a massage in this one too. The combination of being in motion with those tactile experiences are things I love to create! Sweet dreams!
As the night descends upon us like a soft blanket, may you find solace in its embrace. May your worries fade away with the moonlight, and may your dreams be filled with gentle whispers of peace. And when the first light of dawn breaks through the darkness, may it bring with it a renewed sense of hope and energy to conquer the day ahead. Goodnight, dear friends, may you sleep deeply and awaken with a heart full of joy. ☺💗☺✨
Would you want them to be sleep stories or meditations? And how long? I could do it, but given the challenges we face as creators on TH-cam, I'd have to release it over at my meditation sanctuary channel!
I am a only child who just lost his father last month, had his best friend lose his wife, and my mom has been diagnosed with severe sarcoma cancer. Your channel helps me sleep thank you so much for providing these free videos. You are making a difference. Thank you so much!!!
In the silence of the night, may you find serenity and comfort, wrapping yourself in the blanket of peaceful slumber. Goodnight, dear friends, and may the dawn bring you renewed vigor and enthusiasm. 💖💖💖
Michelle, your beautiful voice transports us to sleep and we are grateful. My favourite story is the one at Grand Central where I was able to meet my beloved boyfriend who died of esophageal cancer in August 2017 ~ A truly lovely and unforgettable gentleman man who called me "Princess" and treated me with so much love and respect. I hope one day you are able to visit my country and relate a tale about the fairest Cape and its many attractions including the mountains, coastline and Winelands or, moving inland to a game park to view the Big Five or perhaps go to the heart of the Karoo to the farmlands and arid and changeable landscapes or even a visit to Natal to more subtropical landscapes and miles of beaches, or a little inland to more verdant farms in places like Howick or the mountainous Drakensberg for misty days followed by crisp sunshine and lovely log fires and hearty food at hotels and guesthouses in the hinterland where it may snow quite well in the winter months. So much more. Thank you, may your work be blessed ❤
I'm so sorry for this loss-- how fortunate you both were to have found one another. You have detailed so many wonderful things that it actually sounds like it needs to be a series of stories I start. Thank you for this inspiration.
I want to thank you for your wonderful stories. Your calming voice and relaxing interesting stories put me in such a peaceful place enabling me to settle in at night. I truly appreciate your videos
I am so looking forward to this! It sounds amazing like all if your stories! Thank you so much for creating another story that I can relate to. My cherry blossom tree is always the 1st to bloom! And who doesn't love a train journey! ❤ thank you for all that you do to help us all! I don't know how you do it, but I hope that it never ends!
I only buy fresh peas not frozen in plastic bags pierce bag microwave for 3 minutes let sit for a minute or two take out stir in butter salt to taste cone out firm and dry every time

Oh that sounds dreamy!
Dear Michelle, you bring an elegance and gentility to your stories. This woman appreciates that. 💕 Thank you.
Thank you so much-- elegance is actually one of the words that stayed in my mind as I created this one. I'm glad it came through! 🌸
I feel like I'm transported to a fairytale world every time I listen to these stories. Pure magic! ✨
Exactly what I hoped for when I created this!
This one reminds me of the Seattle area.
Love this so much 🩷 Charlie dog approved. I’ve taken him on several train rides and he loves them, getting to have a companion on this ride made the story perfect for puppy snuggle dream time.
Also pink is my favorite color so this was an absolute perfection of dreams!
That is so great! I also find that pink is such a soothing, happy color for me and I went all out when selecting the artwork for this story!
Love all your train stories Michelle...i listen to them over & over so I'm very happy you have added a new one.. ..looking forward to this......🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂❤
I'm so glad you enjoy them-- it's fun to create stories like this. If you have any train suggestions specific to location or theme, let me know!
This reminds me of my childhood home because we had a big cherry blossom tree in the front garden. Every time I hear about one or see one,it takes me back. Very good, Michelle 😊🦋
Oh what a beautiful memory!
This one’s on repeat! My absolute fav🥰
Yay! Sweet dreams! 🌸

Haha, you get whatever you want! I think this train goes slowly enough and is luxurious enough for a pup to forget she's in motion.
I got everything I wanted simply sumptuous. Just what was needed post earthquake.
😂😅

A wonderful and soothing narrative! And I love trains! Thank you, Michelle.
My pleasure-- I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!
Oh this is so magical and calming. I needed this after several days of not really sleeping well. Thank you as always Michelle!
I'm sorry you weren't sleeping well but glad that this helps a little! Sweet dreams!
Such a beautiful voice, it's like every word is a work of art!
🌸🥰 thank you!

Thank you so much---glad the rain sounds worked. Oh, it's been so long since a clock radio woke me! I remember those days.

Aww, yes my trains are always safe without any concerns!
This is lovely ❤ Great sleep! Thanks as always, Michelle! 😊
Thank you! 😊

@@MichellesSanctuary I cannot lucid dream nor do these become dreams like that while I sleep sadly. I tried lucid dreaming I just got a headache .
❤❤❤❤
Sweet dreams 🌸
Wishing you a good night's sleep and beautiful dreams.

Lol I wrote "gentleman man" and cannot edit my comment ~ never mind ~ it can stay that way because he was both alpha male and a total gentle man.
I'm so sorry for this loss-- how fortunate you both were to have found one another. You have detailed so many wonderful things that it actually sounds like it needs to be a series of stories I start. Thank you for this inspiration.

Some other channels try to copy your work. Thank you for your wonderful work, it helps me so much. .
I know- they are even using my audience polls to take story ideas before I write the story! But so glad you are here 🌸
I've seen those. Thanks for the warning.
Thank you for your stories
My pleasure! Thank you for being part of this sanctuary 🌸

Good to hear you again.
Happy you're here 💜
Thanks!
Thank you so much-- this is so kind! Sweet dreams, Tricia!
