I am so glad and grateful for all your videos. I went through chemo 4 years ago and I was stressed out and couldn’t always sleep because of anxiety. I found you after a friend suggested I listen to sleep meditation and I’ve slept good every since. So thank you Michelle
Thank you so much for writing Barbara and sharing-- what a long journey these four years have been for both of us! I'm so glad you've been part of this little sanctuary for so long and I hope you continue to find relief from anxiety! 💜
Yay, Summer! Camping, rafting & tubing trips down the river, beach trips, carnivals, theme parks, water parks with lazy rivers, s'mores & ghost stories over a a cozy campfire! And some of the BEST entertainment Mother Nature has to offer: like the dozens of fireflies twinkling in the night sky, & the summer pop up storms with spectacular lightening shows! So beautiful! Fall is my favorite season, but Summer is a close second. The festivals surrounding the 4th of July in the US, the cookouts, & fireworks. Good music & good times with family & friends! Aaahhhh, summer! Ice cold smoothies & fruity popsicles! 🏖🌊🎆🧨🇺🇸🍔🍻🏕🌞🌅🕶
Hi Michele, I've been listening for about 2 years now. I am so thankful for your gift. I fall asleep every night listening to your stories. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel such relief knowing I can put on one of your stories. I used to suffer from chronic nightmares, but they are all but gone since listening to your stories. Thank you so much for using your gifts to help me. God bless you. -Faith
Thank you for sharing, Faith, and thank you SO much for staying part of this sanctuary for two years. I am so glad your nightmares are gone. It was my hope that creating these would help our minds communicate in kinder ways and be more relaxed and hopeful before sleep. I'm so glad to have you along for these adventures! 💜
My childhood wasn't good. However, in time, with help of others, I am no longer taunted by it, angered by it, or, for the most part, reacting on present situations because of it. Even more, I didn't know one day, I could imagine thinking of myself as a child experiencing childlike wonder and awe. Which is what I did during this. Thinking about an uncle, although badly alcoholic, was always kind to me and would take me for hikes in the mountains, pick huckleberry, show me trees that smell nice when you Crack the twigs. An aunt who showed me ones you can make teas with. Perhaps why I would drive out of NYC to spend some time alone in the forest and meditate. The feeling of being alone but not feeling alone and somehow feeling connected. Perhaps why I found this particularly soothing.
This is so beautiful--- thank you for sharing. I really wanted to conjure the exact feelings and memories you described. Many of us has really tough childhoods that require so much healing, but those amazing sensations in nature that are experienced the first time--- those are what I hope to awaken when people listen. They are reminders of the magic in this world. Happy 2022!
Thank you Michelle omg going through hard time with lock down ur videos help me clam im suffering bad depression anxiety find it hard to sleep in night you help me sooth to sleep xx
Thank you, Sharlene-- I'm glad this is helping. Know you aren't alone. We are all muddling through this and experiencing our own mental health challenges. I'm so grateful I can help in any way. Keep taking care of yourself! 💜
It's early hours of the morning here, I've just listened to this beautiful story, before i drift off to sleep, i wanted to tell you, Michelle, this is my new favourite story, it made me smile so much, perfect just perfect, thank you so much sweetie 💖💖
It is a masterfully crafted tale. It may indicate what the best summer has to offer but it is filtered through your creation. So it’s possibly your best memory keeping. I didn’t go to camp but this lovely tome made me feel as if I did. You can indeed tell a story even include a very poignant quote of white no less. Coney Island, the steel pier all came to life as did the taste of innocent adolescence aged bones and the desire to sleep like a baby. There were even numerous undulations which almost made me embarrassed. And then your countdown leaving me bereft for more. So yes, you’re right it is the best of summer filtered through your own memories of very rich layered stimuli and it fired long forgotten memories from mine. I have forgotten how the world looked when I wasn’t in a pandemic or frozen in loss. Thank you. I hope you still have the stuffed animal.
I have grown to love summer as I've gotten older and realized I'm more sensitive to "winter blues". This is such a beautiful capture of the season! Thank you Michelle!
I hear you on those winter blues. This was the first winter I was completely on lockdown and I let myself keep the hours of a college kid. And it was the way I found magic-- silent walks in snowstorms with my pup at 4AM when the rest of the city was asleep (or at least warmly tucked indoors). Although this summer is an awful lot of gray in the city and thunderstorms!
Michelle, I so LOVE all your meditations. This is one of my favorites. Reminds me of my wonderful childhood summers. Such great memories. Haven’t made it to the end yet, but I always fall asleep happy with a smile on my face. Thank you sweet lady!!💕
Thank you, Patricia-- I'm so glad you enjoy this one! Childhood summers certainly brought such great moments to be carefree. I'm glad you've been able to reconnect with good memories! 💜
Love the new time stamp markers in the videos! I listen to your stories every night and it can be helpful when you're wanting a certain part depending on mood/need. ❤️🤗
I really enjoyed this one. I like the fun, comforting memories of warm summer nights. ✨💫🌕The storylines of the summer camp are carnival⛺️ 🎡 were wonderful. I felt lovely and soothed and took a refreshing nap. 😴. Thank you 😊.
Darn! I was really enjoying this, and then......really bugs me that I have no idea how it continued and ended! In theory, if it continues to do its intention, I will never know how it ends. That is kind of annoying! The control freak in me is not happy. Thanks Michelle!
Haha, it's conflicting, I know! And I understand the control freak in you. Once I was given laughing gas when my wisdom teeth were removed and though I wanted to laugh so hard, the control freak in me didn't allow it. So they gave me even more nitrous oxide! Which I did not need. That said, I understand the inner control freak and I also understand wanting to defy the intention of something!
Oh my!!! I’m so excited for this but I know I won’t get to the end of it because you always do your job at putting me to sleep ♥️ Goodnight from Atlanta 💘
Maybe it was a fish, or a paddle boat? It's your story & imagination too. It could even be your paddle boat if you wish. Try not to overanalyze & just go with it. ✌ 💚🧘♀️💙
Yes! These stories are just an outline- all these experiences are meant to take flight on the imagination and things not filled in with specifics give every listener freedom to do so.

Oh I like the sound of this! 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺🦋🥰💐🌿
I like being able to create vignettes, so if you stay awake long enough it's almost like three stories!
This may be the best one yet, can't wait for it!!!!
I think it has the best summer has to offer-- and some healing to go along with it.

I'm glad you noticed, Tami! It's a great feature RUclips finally added and I will be eventually updating all my videos to have them.

Aww, they are comforting memories aren't they? There's just something so different about the air on warm summer nights.
Looking forward to it!
Sweet dreams with this one!

I think it has some special gems in it-- hope you enjoy it, Erica! 💜

Early night means a soothing sleep listening to this. Calm my anxiety and stress within me. Really enjoying your stories! X
So glad you are finding calm moments with these and hope these stories continue to help!
@@MichellesSanctuary it's the only main thing that helps me be at ease before nodding off. Your voice somehow calms my clouded mind x
I absolutely needed this tonight! Thank you for your fantastic work Michelle!
Enjoying your deserved time to unwind before sleep!
This sounds awesome! I am excited to hear it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Summerland is the place I live 😅🤣
Me too! Nothing like it. 💜
I’m still laying here trying to work out why a pond would have lapping waves, what caused the wave ?
That mountain breeze and swimmers.
Maybe it was a fish, or a paddle boat? It's your story & imagination too. It could even be your paddle boat if you wish. Try not to overanalyze & just go with it. ✌
💚🧘♀️💙
Yes! These stories are just an outline- all these experiences are meant to take flight on the imagination and things not filled in with specifics give every listener freedom to do so.
Our pond had waves & ripples every time a fish jumped or a good breeze blew.
