You've actually cured my insomnia! After years of sleepless nights and feeling exhausted every morning, tried sleeping pills, which caused me to build op tolerance and feeling groggy when it was time to get up, not even wanting to get out of bed, because of a brain that just couldn't switch off... watching countless hypnotic videos, even listening to rain and thunder sounds.. been there, done it, tried everything. You are the only person who makes me fall asleep so quickly, can't even listen to all your stories, maybe just the beginning of your first story. Before I know it, I'm fast asleep, and I tell you, this is coming from an incurable insomniac. I thought I was doomed for life. You have a extraordinary gift Michelle. Thank you for saving my life. Yes, you cured me and you saved my life. Please never stop. You deserve a 🏅 of the highest degree. THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊 🙏
Thank you for sharing this, Angelique! I started hoping to help just one person. I struggled so long with sleepless nights and waking too soon that it started me on this journey of creating. I remember the way I felt when something finally worked. Hope these stories and meditations continue to bring peace and sleep! 💜
This brought tears to my eyes. As someone with health challenges that absolutely exhaust me, including chronic insomnia, I relate closely to some of what you are saying. Michelle's work is truly life saving. It's some of the most important work. Bringing rest, peace and solace to so many that are in great need. 💙
Same! My mind does not shut off. Forty year insomniac sleeping 1-4 hours per day. Now I sleep 7-8 hrs. We are blessed to have found our cure. 🙏🏼♥️ Blessings Michelle🌺
I've inherited the family problem of taking forever to get to sleep and then waking up in the early morning being unable to get to sleep again. My solution is to make a play list of all the sleep story collections that Michelle has made as well as another channel called "sleepy cat" (a male voice). If I can't sleep I will sit up in an armchair with my eyes closed and the play list playing in the background. When I catch myself getting really sleepy I get back into bed and leave the play list playing. I have a number of chronic health challenges that mean I often cannot sleep at night during winter due to pain so I sleep in the mornings. If I'm in too much pain I will just rest instead. I've learnt that it all balances out; if my body is wanting to sleep more than normal then it means I will have more energy another day/night and can get more done. I hope we can all get enough sleep and wake up feeling motivated and ready for another day.
@Michelle a really long collection would be great! Themes I'd suggest -At the beach, a holiday experience combining videos like the board walk, walking the beach with a dog, collecting sea glass, swimming with dolphins, etc -in the flow, water themed ones with river, snow, ice and waves all flowing into each other. -Id really love a healing collection or play list with your healing inflammation video, a body scan or massage, a hot spa/pool, and pain relief meditations. - hiking collection, hiking along a collection of trails and sleeping in a different tree house or special house/cottage/tent every night. Include different activities like your kayaking ones or rafting at night. - a collection that links your videos about dreams, goals, life purpose, find your passion in life, motivation, energy so that by the end of it you have helped us create a vision of our future, living the dream (maybe better suited to your second channel) I like to create themed play lists of videos from all different channels. I hope my ideas inspire you to continue creating your beautiful videos. I'm sure I wouldn't have healed as much as I have without your videos being available for free anytime I need or want to listen to them. Blessings, Dot
Oh my god! I can't believe what I am seeing! I had to do a double take!! This is the best thing on RUclips that has ever come my way I think!!!! I can't wait!
Your enthusiasm always makes me smile! I hope you enjoy it-- it's overdue that I created a collection of these so people can listen continuously. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary I had a Sunday that flew Michelle, but the sun came out after a month of praying! Perhaps the UK finally has a summer. 🙏 I'm in bed now and preparing to listen! Full of gratitude. 🙏💙
This is the only way I am able to sleep in the afternoon, even when I wake at 3 a.m. Makes for a looong day, that. Thanks for the kindest spoken words, though it seems I never get into the meat of your stories. I’m out before the plot even thickens. You are somewhat of a life saver, so please, keep up the good work.
When I was young, I was afraid of rain and heard the sound of rain in the evening. Yet now I sleep soundly listening to it along with your stories. Thank you!
Holy cow!!! A female "sleep stories" voice that not is not just about tolerating it but I enjoy!! Thank you. It's easy finding male voices that narrate well but... Yeah... Thank you.
I'm so sorry...I lost my dad 4 yrs ago. I still find it a struggle to fall asleep. Thank you to Michelle she has been our angel helping us to drift off 🙌 Takes me 2 hrs .. used to be 4 . Thank you Michelle ❤ Sweet dreams
Amalia here. Ah, this rain collection is one of my constant stalwarts. Back I come again and again and again. Michelle, it's difficult to express the profound healing you bring. 🙏💙
Wow! This popped up for me, 2 years down the road from first posting, and my first listening. It’s a beauty. 500,000 views! Millions of hours of peaceful sleep. What a gift! Thank you, as always, Michelle!
Wow-- I'm glad you discovered this collection. One day it just may reach a million (I haven't had a video do that yet). Thank you for your support and presence! 💜
@MichellesSanctuary 23:26 I 23:27 23:27 I 23:27 think I 😂 23:28 have to go back and get 23:29 the results 23:29 23:30 palms 23:30 I 23:30 😂 23:31 23:31 and the same as the 23:44 😂
Michelle, you and your niece are adorable together. Thanks for sharing with us. I will look forward to this one tonight. The Cotswolds stirs up bittersweet memories for me. I spent time in England with someone very special and who I’ll love always even though he’s passed on. My heart is full and I’ll dream of him tonight. Thank you 💕
How beautiful-- I'm so glad you can remember those times together. For me, sleep stories and meditations have been such a safe and healing space for me to hold love and reconnect with the good times with those no longer with us. I hope you meet in your dreams!
Yes please! I can not wait to hear your soothing voice!!! I have always wanted a little bit more! You continue to share such beautiful stories. I appreciate the time it takes to create such beautiful meditation/stories!!! I know you hear it so often but I am so thankful that I've found your channel, it has truly changed my life!❤💕
Such coincidence that just yesterday I was thinking to ask you if you could make more than one hour story. Of course I wouldn't ask you to talk that much, but to leave the soothing music and rain sounds for longer time. It seems our minds are connected ☺️
They are! I completely understand as there are nights I do like to listen to rain sounds throughout the night. Luckily the storm rolling through New York right now made that possible last night. Sweet dreams! 💜
I have trouble falling asleep at bedtime. I have struggled with insomnia for years do to anxiety and autoimmune disease. Listening to your stories for the last few years has brought peace to my nighttime routine. When you say, 'in the safety of your room' and 'let go of things that no longer serve you' then I know I will find peace, serenity and sleep if just for one hour. For me this is a blessing and priceless.
Thank you Teresa! I am so glad that those moments resonate with you. I think sometimes when insomnia and health issues surface we may forget our bedroom can be that beautiful playground for our imagination and safe place to dream. I hope these continues to help you sleep and feel stronger and rested when you awaken in the morning.
Great job! I must thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have insomnia due to autoimmune disorders and chronic anxiety, and I often see the light of day without having blinked an eye. I've tried rain sounds, rain + storm sound, wave sounds, piano music, binaural sounds, etc. with no results. But the tone of your voice and great pronunciation does it for me. I have not completed even the first story (not even sure what it is about as I fall asleep) and I read you also include sounds in this audio, I guess I'll have to listen in the middle of the day when I'm busiest, so I don't get sleepy!
Thank you so much for sharing this-- it made me smile and I am so happy that you have found something that finally works! Congratulation on giving so many things a try. I hope you continue to find respite and peace in this sanctuary and dream away!
Something about your voice helps me fall asleep. So thank you so much for what you do. I haven’t found a channel better then yours. ❤️ love from Hawai’i
May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness; May all be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow; May all never be separated from the sacred happiness which is sorrowless; And may all live in equanimity, without too much attachment and too much aversion, And live believing in the equality of all that lives.
THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD! I am so happy for this collection of a soothing, calming beautiful escape to sleep! Thank you! Hearing your voice is so beautiful and to hear it for hrs without interruption when I need calming is appreciated more than you know! ❤
I'm so glad! I'm curious if it changes the experience-- it makes the chances greater that the stories will weave with the first REM cycle and dreaming. Hoping it helps everyone!
@@MichellesSanctuary I loved it because sometimes I am just about to fall asleep while listening to a story and when your voice stops, it wakes me up. This continuation is fantastic because when I fall asleep if I happen to wake back up, your voice puts me right back to sleep. I would love more like this. Either way, they are fantastic!
Hi Michelle! Thank you for this extended version! I really needed it last night, and did not have to fiddle with my phone to restart when I briefly woke up. That photo certainly demonstrates the the bond you have with your niece❤️
I hope it helps-- it's some of my favourite rain stories in one! There's so much rain in New York I am hunkering down with the pets today. Sweet dreams! 💜
I fell asleep last night listening to one of your stories. And have done so on other nights. Thank you so much. I have a lot of trouble falling asleep.
I'm so glad they are bringing you sleep. I struggled for so long myself-- it's an honor to help in any way. And I wish you more sleep and dreams to come, Brenda!
Lol, just stumbled onto your channel recently, and oh my gosh, it's so wonderful, and soothing that I listen to it sometimes during the day while doing chores. Also sent one of the stories witches cove to my daughter. You have the most beautiful imagination. Thanks for sharing with us. 🙂💞💨💨 sending ❤ and good vibes YOUR WAY. Nameste
Yet you tube claims these channels hold "no value" based on these comments they are completely wrong. Falling asleep this way so much better than pills
@@juneaborealis8658 oh yes it is much better then pills, and that value expands because people become unable to stop cravingr pills witch leads to addiction, 3itch hurts people and connection. Connection
Thank you SO much! I am so glad you found me and are part of this sanctuary. It makes me so happy that you've shared it with your daughter. I am working on a new witches story. Sending good vibes right back to you!
right now i live in a apartment building but i have few visitors at my apartment this video helps me relax and want to stay home for sleep rest peace it soothes me
I cannot wait for this!! I've been wanting a long rain sleep video from Michelle! Thank you for putting them together so there's no ads inbetween! Peace&Love&Light to you all ☮☯️🕉
I'm so glad-- I recently started listening to longer meditations and noticed it affected my sleep differently. It was overdue for me to create this and I hope you enjoy it!
@@MichellesSanctuary I posted this on a different comment but I must say again thank you so much for all you do. You have such a dear, kind, gentle, caring soul ☮☯️🕉
First video of yours I'm watching, and I was so floored by the quality and performance, at first I legitimately suspected it was ripped from a movie or something. I knew full well it didn't make any sense, but it was the only "reasonable" explanation for how good it was. I'm only relaying this strange anecdote to let you know that your talent and effort shows, despite the modest views you're getting.
In need of an all new rainy 4 HR story series!!! Please please please ski trip to Aspen would be WONDERFUL with a cabin in the woods with snow flurries or a horse ride a night while it starts to snow just a few ideas lol love you Michel le💜
I’ve suffered from insomnia for about 3 years. I played this on the pillow next to me & I was OUT in about 30 minutes! Thank you, I’ve had the most amazing 9 hours of sleep I can remember! Interestingly I grew up in Bourton-On-The-Water in the Cotswolds!.. it’s really is that pretty!
I'm so glad, Mike! I plan on doing some more longer compilations like this to help people sleep. I hope it conjured fond memories of growing up in the Cotswolds!
OMG. What was that? I wanted to listen to it from the beginning, as last night I chose one of the last stories. During the day though. It’s 5 p.m. I just woke up. Feel great though. Maybe not for nap time? Or maybe just that tired ? Tks, Michelle. You were the first person I started listening to once I discovered these kinds of experiences.
Wow-- it could end up creating a long nap. Or maybe you were tired? I know I caught up on sleep this weekend big time. All the travel and these weather changes certainly make me sleepy!
Indeed. Everyone stay safe! I've been caught in the rain a number of times since the storm began. It will be nice to hunker down for the night. Dream away! 💜
First time listening. Had eye surgery today and can't watch TV or read. Thought it would be nice to ask Alexa to help me out. She took me threw You tube to your channel. It was a somewhat sad and beautiful story with a happy ending. Your voice is alot like mine, very calming and it's like having a sister read me a story. Thank you
Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you keep taking care of yourself! Thank you, Alexa-- I'm glad you discovered this sanctuary and I hope you find more stories to enjoy!
You have a beautiful voice and I adore your stories and sounds that have helped me sleep for weeks now. I am so pleased & now look forward to getting cozy in my bed with the blanket under my chin & listening to you dear kind friend. We wish you well and With love from Rosalynn & Hazel in Scotland, Edinburgh ❤️🩹
Aww, thank you! Your comment makes me want to get cozy on this chilly day. I hope to continue to help -- nothing beats snuggling with a blanket under your chin and a sleepy adventure ahead.
Michelle, I need your help. I once hear a story on RUclips that involved a young Shepard that would study the stars and write in a journal. He ended up traveling and ended up in a little tavern during a rainstorm, where he and the other occupants (a cat and if I recall a farmer), had nothing to do but sleep. It was a beautiful story and your stories made me think of it. If you know where I should look to find it again, i would be even more grateful than I am already. Thank you for helping me sleep :).
@@MichellesSanctuary thank you for responding; my quest continues :). When I find it, I’ll be sure to share it with you. It’s on par with the soothing stories of yours. Thank you.
I know I’m late commenting. You have a great snow one. I personally not a big fan of witches cottages though I know many are. Maybe a set of ones about nature things. I’d love if you had some with a little fantasy like unicorns or especially fairies. I love the storm ones especially!!❤

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyi
As it takes me about 2 hours to fall asleep and often wake up. I would love to see 8 to 10 hours.
Okay-- I will work on this. Is there a certain theme you'd prefer me to have for the collection?
I've inherited the family problem of taking forever to get to sleep and then waking up in the early morning being unable to get to sleep again.

Amalia here. Ah, this rain collection is one of my constant stalwarts. Back I come again and again and again. Michelle, it's difficult to express the profound healing you bring. 🙏💙
I love that you keep coming back to this one-- pretty sure I should have more rain stories this fall to create another collection like this.
@@MichellesSanctuary I'd love that!
Me too cant wait super excited love and light to u Michelle
@@MichellesSanctuary Please don’t wait until the fall to create stories with thunderstorms audible in the background.
Amalie and/ or Amalia is my middle name.
Rainy nights are the best for getting a goodnight of sleep. This is gonna be great, can't wait for this one!!!!
They are-- it may explain how I slept almost 12 hours last night! All that time in the sun with a toddler must have exhausted me this week. 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary Those little ones can really go when they want to, lol!!!
Wow! This popped up for me, 2 years down the road from first posting, and my first listening. It’s a beauty. 500,000 views! Millions of hours of peaceful sleep. What a gift!

Nothing is more soothing then a rainy night 🌙. Even thunderstorms just love. Thank you so much Michelle.

Thanks Michelle, for rescuing so-many of my nights sleeps. You are truly a treasure and a wonderful stream-of-conciouness storyteller. ❤
I'm so glad that these stories help-- you deserve a good night of sleep every night 💜

Many is the time that an hour is over too soon ... 🤗💤
I'm so glad. Thank you, Jane-- I will be compiling a few more collections over the fall.
Thank you so much your soft voice helped me sleep
My favourite is the cosy laundrette, I'm not completely sure why, but it feels like home, warm thoughts to you Michelle, goodnight 💖
I'm glad you enjoy that-- I'm revisiting those characters this week!
Oh thats great hun 💖
Love the Scotland story. The only one I've heard in this collection. Thank you!

Lol, just stumbled onto your channel recently, and oh my gosh, it's so wonderful, and soothing that I listen to it sometimes during the day while doing chores. Also sent one of the stories witches cove to my daughter. You have the most beautiful imagination. Thanks for sharing with us. 🙂💞💨💨 sending ❤ and good vibes YOUR WAY. Nameste
Yet you tube claims these channels hold "no value" based on these comments they are completely wrong.
Falling asleep this way so much better than pills
@@juneaborealis8658 oh yes it is much better then pills, and that value expands because people become unable to stop cravingr pills witch leads to addiction, 3itch hurts people and connection. Connection
What the people at you tube thinking they know what's valuable to the rest of us is just crazy, obviously they are out of touch
Thank you SO much! I am so glad you found me and are part of this sanctuary. It makes me so happy that you've shared it with your daughter. I am working on a new witches story. Sending good vibes right back to you!
Thank you so much from N.Ireland
My ever night sleepytime treasure❤
right now i live in a apartment building but i have few visitors at my apartment this video helps me relax and want to stay home for sleep rest peace it soothes me
I'm so glad that this is helping! I hope it continues to help whenever you need it.
Beautiful Voice...so Calming
Thank you, Bill! Sweet dreams!
I cannot wait for this!! I've been wanting a long rain sleep video from Michelle! Thank you for putting them together so there's no ads inbetween!
Peace&Love&Light to you all ☮☯️🕉
I'm so glad-- I recently started listening to longer meditations and noticed it affected my sleep differently. It was overdue for me to create this and I hope you enjoy it!
@@MichellesSanctuary I posted this on a different comment but I must say again thank you so much for all you do. You have such a dear, kind, gentle, caring soul
☮☯️🕉
Great voice!
Thank you!
Thank You. You have agift.
Thank you-- I hope you continue to enjoy this sanctuary!
First video of yours I'm watching, and I was so floored by the quality and performance, at first I legitimately suspected it was ripped from a movie or something. I knew full well it didn't make any sense, but it was the only "reasonable" explanation for how good it was.
I'm only relaying this strange anecdote to let you know that your talent and effort shows, despite the modest views you're getting.
Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome to this sanctuary. I do hope in time more listeners find there way here. 💜
Haven't been able to sleep for 5 days. This put me right to sleep.
I'm so glad! I hope you continue to find sleep and relaxation. You deserve it every night.
Your voice is so nurturing thank you💕🥰
😊 thank you! Hope these stories continue to help you dream away!
@@MichellesSanctuary I had 3 dreams while listening to this specific story 😊
In need of an all new rainy 4 HR story series!!! Please please please ski trip to Aspen would be WONDERFUL with a cabin in the woods with snow flurries or a horse ride a night while it starts to snow just a few ideas lol love you Michel le💜
I'll add it to the list! Thank you, Tricia!
@@MichellesSanctuary ❤️
I’ve suffered from insomnia for about 3 years. I played this on the pillow next to me & I was OUT in about 30 minutes! Thank you, I’ve had the most amazing 9 hours of sleep I can remember!
Interestingly I grew up in Bourton-On-The-Water in the Cotswolds!.. it’s really is that pretty!
I'm so glad, Mike! I plan on doing some more longer compilations like this to help people sleep. I hope it conjured fond memories of growing up in the Cotswolds!
@@MichellesSanctuary It was magical! I woke up so happy & rested! Do you have a Patreon or somewhere I could contribute!?
Thank you for these awesome stories and relaxing times. God bless
My pleasure-- you deserve to relax every night and I hope they continue to help!
yay omg i’ve been eyeing the premier for days not so patiently waiting
Love this-- sweet dreams-- I hope you were led to a night of cozy sleep.
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome! Sweet dreams!
OMG. What was that? I wanted to listen to it from the beginning, as last night I chose one of the last stories. During the day though. It’s 5 p.m. I just woke up. Feel great though. Maybe not for nap time? Or maybe just that tired ? Tks, Michelle. You were the first person I started listening to once I discovered these kinds of experiences.
Wow-- it could end up creating a long nap. Or maybe you were tired? I know I caught up on sleep this weekend big time. All the travel and these weather changes certainly make me sleepy!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind gift! It made my morning. Sweet dreams, Patricia!
It’s really your voice! It’s so soothing, thank you!
Thank you. I'm happy to soothe. Dream away! 💜
Thanks Michelle x
You are so welcome-- sweet dreams!
Just in time for Hurricane Henri, I hope everyone is safe out there!
Indeed. Everyone stay safe! I've been caught in the rain a number of times since the storm began. It will be nice to hunker down for the night. Dream away! 💜
Thank you so much Michelle! You are such a kind and gentle soul 💗
You are my go to for a good nights sleep. Ty so much.
Happy to help--always! If there are certain stories you want me to include in another long collection let me know!
Great idea putting these beauties together😁Thanks so much Michelle🌠
Thank you-- I hope it helps all who need it!
I love your wanderlust series! Can we take a trip to Greece, maybe to Venice down the canals?
That would be lovely! Both trips I actually hope to take someday soon.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊 Sweet dreams!

This makes me so happy-- dream away!
Hi Michelle thank you for this very nice relaxing sleep meditation
My pleasure-- I hope it continues to help you dream away. 💜
I was so sick with covid and could not get to sleep with the congestion and back pain and migraine… your videos finally gave me relief 😭💕
I'm so sorry you had to go through that! I'm glad these were able to help and hope you are feeling better now!
Omg yay!!
Sweet dreams! 💜
First time listening. Had eye surgery today and can't watch TV or read. Thought it would be nice to ask Alexa to help me out. She took me threw You tube to your channel.
It was a somewhat sad and beautiful story with a happy ending. Your voice is alot like mine, very calming and it's like having a sister read me a story. Thank you
Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you keep taking care of yourself! Thank you, Alexa-- I'm glad you discovered this sanctuary and I hope you find more stories to enjoy!
Thank you Michelle. What a lovely happy pic of you both!
Thank you-- yes, it really captured the joy we experienced.
You're so sweet. This is beautiful.
💜💜💜 Thank you, Laraine.
It would be nice to have a compilation stories with animals
Great idea-- adding it to my list!
be good to have rain sounds in the back ground
This is excellent Michelle 🙏🙌🌠
Thank you, it's wonderful xxx
Thank you, Debbie-- hope it keeps bringing you into a night of great sleep!
My Daddy wore a trench coat😔 this brought such peace to me
Oh, I'm so glad it brought you peace. Sweet dreams! 💜
Beautiful Voice and so Calming. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much! ❤
You have a beautiful voice and I adore your stories and sounds that have helped me sleep for weeks now. I am so pleased & now look forward to getting cozy in my bed with the blanket under my chin & listening to you dear kind friend. We wish you well and With love from Rosalynn & Hazel in Scotland, Edinburgh ❤️🩹
Aww, thank you! Your comment makes me want to get cozy on this chilly day. I hope to continue to help -- nothing beats snuggling with a blanket under your chin and a sleepy adventure ahead.
Thank you Michelle ❤️🩹
Michelle, I need your help. I once hear a story on RUclips that involved a young Shepard that would study the stars and write in a journal. He ended up traveling and ended up in a little tavern during a rainstorm, where he and the other occupants (a cat and if I recall a farmer), had nothing to do but sleep.
It was a beautiful story and your stories made me think of it. If you know where I should look to find it again, i would be even more grateful than I am already.
Thank you for helping me sleep :).
I wish I could help-- I don't know this story, unfortunately. Parts of it do remind me of "The Alchemist" in theme.
@@MichellesSanctuary thank you for responding; my quest continues :).
When I find it, I’ll be sure to share it with you. It’s on par with the soothing stories of yours.
Thank you.
Your voice it's so soothing I'm loving this video ✨😴🌃
Thank you! I hope it brings the sweetest of dreams.
❤❤❤❤❤
Dream away 💜
This is wonderful! Can’t wait fir tonight!
Hope you enjoy it! Dream away! 💜
Goodnight Michelle🌐🛡️🌌♀️🚭🧬
Sweet dreams! 🌙
Looking forward to this!
Hope you enjoyed it, Erica!
In need of a new 3hrs of stories with rain just saying........
Working on releasing this in two weeks-- is there a theme you want me to cover for the next collection?
I know I’m late commenting. You have a great snow one. I personally not a big fan of witches cottages though I know many are. Maybe a set of ones about nature things. I’d love if you had some with a little fantasy like unicorns or especially fairies. I love the storm ones especially!!❤
I'm very depressed and anxious. I hope this helps. I'm so tired of being alive.
I am so sorry you are feeling this way... there are moments that can deplete us. Sending the hope that this one passes and you feel restored soon.
