cant wait for two more nights ❤️ i’m 12 years old and love these bed time stories as if i was a lil kid lol i mean i am still a kid but i should say i love hearing these like a toddler being read a bedtime story lol
Thank you so very much for the love and respect you have shown those of us who prefer to skip over the breathing exercises. I genuinely appreciate you Michelle ❤️
Thank you, Pam--- it took me a long time to figure out what would work best . But all along, I've hoped to make these as customizable and personalized so that everyone can get exactly what they need. Sweet dreams!
Oh yes, this sounds so wonderful, kids still not trick or treating this year so my grandkids are going to be having a movie night with sweets and popcorn, and of course myself being a big kid, I'll be joining them, I'm so excited Michelle, looking forward to bedtime so i can listen to this, thanks sweetie 💖
Autumnal ✅ Cozy vibes ✅ Cottage ✅ Can’t wait to listen to 10 minutes of it before going to sleep. Since I have never been able to stay awake for the entire meditations.
Wow 👌 another great bedtime story with pumpkins of course. I read another person's comment about just leaving a heart as a comment to let you know how you are appreciated and I think that's a good idea. I truly appreciate you,i struggle to fall asleep. Even my 8 year old is out like a light in 2 mins, which is quite an achievement. And it's a cold windy night here. Brilliant,thank you 💜💜
Well I will need to listen to this again.Could not even get through half of this lovely autumnal story without💤😔Will look forward to another try tonight🌟Your stories seem to have this effect on me quite often😘
Ok. Michelle, your voice is so relaxing for me now that I have listened to this story at least 14 times and have yet to get to the ending! Lol!!! Thanks for my sleep!!!!
A huge THANK YOU ... your calming nature sleep stories have been so very helpful to me. I often wake in the middle of the night and can not get back to sleep ... your meditations work every time! Your amazing! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
This is great I've just found this channel randomly just by typing pumpkin meditation and I generally dislike the ones who tell you to breathe and relax non stop. But this one worked for me. I've subscribed.
I'm glad it was able to work for you even with the breathwork! And many stories have chapters so you can always skip ahead and get straight to the story. Welcome to the Sanctuary!
The dreamy otherworldly music and atmospherics are such a key part of the ambience. I'd welcome it being a tiny tad louder. That haunting mystical wind sound is so emotional too.
You do have a wonderful way with the music…I think o have commented on that before. It flows so well with each story, so yes, a bit more emphasis on that.
Sorry but although the meditation itself is good I don’t find the location comfortable. Bravaria has been the seed of virulent anti Semitic behavior, literature and philosophy from antiquities to the present. It would be tantamount to a Muslim vacationing in China. Because I try and have forgiveness for my mankind brethren I try and suspend judgement but I still feel uncomfortable sleeping while Hans is looming outside my cottage. The train is lovely except the image of trains going from here to Poland still Sears my senses. As for the actual meditation it’s lovely as usual. The narrative is lovely our narrator is breathtaking. I would have grabbed multiple named pumpkins as each catagory of human emotion is not mutually exclusive of the other so I’d hedge my bets with bliss, passion, joy, peace, etc. I’d have a whole plantation of pumpkins around me. And I was relaxed but also on edge so I would defer sleeping here and gone to another more friendly neighboring place with my pumpkins and the souls of my relatives. I tried to email this to lovely narrator but it wouldn’t go through. Please understand I take no offense it’s just me and the missing from my ancestry
My apologies for this experience, as you know every location can have such triggers depending and was chosen solely on the basis of being the host of the world's largest pumpkin festival and a site of celebration for the fall season. I've also written on Vietnam and the deep South, and even the most beautiful locations in the world are steeped in discomforting histories. It's a tricky slope, do I keep locations completely generic and fictional? I had as much trouble being hired to write about the Ganges during the height of the pandemic. Since this is fantasy, and meant for healing, I can only hope that people find healing with the videos that work best for them. And to email me, michellessanctuary@gmail.com is best.
@@MichellesSanctuary No, don't keep them fictional. Keep doing what you are doing. There is more than enough choice for us all. A setting may well bring uncomfortable associations but then we can choose to move on. Your work in my opinion and I'm guessing for the majority of listeners (so evident in the comments) works exceptionally well as it is. 🙏
@@amaliagrassi6870 Thank you for your insight. It's a challenge, because of course I have been asked to write about Bavaria, Oktoberfest, and Germany at Christmas. I do try to create as much in terms of requests as I can. And hope to derive the beautiful aspects of all locations with the hope everyone customizes them when listening.
In light of your concern, I have released a re-edited version available to stream on my podcast. anchor.fm/michelles-sanctuary/episodes/The-Enchanted-Pumpkin-Cottage--Sleep-Story-and-Bedtime-Meditation-e18uf5r

Sweet dreams, Theresa!
I can't get enough of your stories. Thank you so much. ❤
You are so welcome!
Last night I drifted to sleep before the story began because your voice is so soothing
How lovely-- I hope these stories continue to bring you sleep!

This is so relaxing 😌 for the first time in a while I was able to get a good nights sleep 😌
I'm so glad, I hope these stories continue to help.
Ok. Michelle, your voice is so relaxing for me now that I have listened to this story at least 14 times and have yet to get to the ending! Lol!!! Thanks for my sleep!!!!
That is so many-- did you ever get to the ending? Sweet dreams!
@@MichellesSanctuary Funny you should ask. I think I did around the 20th listen! 😂
A huge THANK YOU ... your calming nature sleep stories have been so very helpful to me. I often wake in the middle of the night and can not get back to sleep ... your meditations work every time! Your amazing! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Thank you Nicole! I hope they continue to help on your journey. I really appreciate your kind words. 💜
So relaxing thank you

So sweet. I felt like I was in Heaven.
How wonderful, Laraine. Sweet dreams!
Thank you for another soothing narrative❤️
Sweet dreams!
Thank you so much Michelle for the awesome Story. Very nicely done ✔ . Have a great evening and week ahead 😀. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
Thank you! Sweet dreams!
@@MichellesSanctuary You are so very welcome 🙏
Thanks, your videos help me calm down when i need it 🤙🏻
I am so glad. Wishing you the sweetest of dreams!
Such a beautiful relaxing story. The countdown and goodnight at the end was the perfect touch.
Thank you, Melissa-- I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Wishing you magical nights of sleep to come. 💜
I was having wonderful dreams with Hanz and I 😂❤
I love this! 💜
Just discovered your channel and I love your style of story and description. Going to be exploring your work for a long time I suspect.
Make yourself comfortable and welcome to the sanctuary!
Beautiful
Thank you, Tessa! 💜
I simply LOVE your stories!
I'm so happy to read this! I hope they continue to bring you sleep and the best dreams!
🧡
❤
🥰👏
Cause we are living in an interior world
And I am an interior girl 😁💃🏼
Now we know what melody you just got me stuck in for the entire week!
@@MichellesSanctuary Haha! 😂 I’m sorry girl 😁
I'm so sad I broke my earbuds that I use for sleep 😴 💤 and keep forgetting to pickup another set. Of course I remember that I forgot at bedtime 🌙 lol
Oh no! I hope they are soon replaced.
I hv a request. Pls make the music louder. ❤
Noted. Sweet dreams!
The dreamy otherworldly music and atmospherics are such a key part of the ambience. I'd welcome it being a tiny tad louder. That haunting mystical wind sound is so emotional too.
You do have a wonderful way with the music…I think o have commented on that before. It flows so well with each story, so yes, a bit more emphasis on that.
Loud noise at the end of the video woke me up and has left me anxious for over an hour. Why would you do that?!?
This is the first I am aware of any loud noise? and the first anyone has mentioned it?
I wondered why I hadn't seen your videos in awhile. Search your channel just now and found out RUclips unsubbed without my knowledge or consent 😡
I am so glad you found this out and how awful! Hope you are enjoying the sanctuary again.
