    Years ago, on a summer of adventure and creation, I found myself in Lily Dale for a day. The energy was palpable, as if I could sense all those who came to form this magical hamlet. Since the weather has such extremes in New York, I wanted to add the experience of thundersnow-- which has occurred often in recent years as rain becomes snow and the humidity and temperature drops so suddenly that thunder rolls across a sky illuminated by lightning.

      Michelle's Sanctuary: Sleep Meditations & Stories I’ve said it before Michelle, I love your style of writing and narration. The longer your posts the better. Sure I like night driving and thunder & lightning; but definitely not at the same time! And my nearest subway (tube in England) station...130 miles away.

    Posting the morning after watching.. Another night, another bedtime story from Michelle that I truly don't remember. Lol. The content must be stored in my subconscious somewhere because all I remember is the intro, the part where Michelle gives us permission to sleep whenever we want, and then I woke up later, still wearing my earbuds, and the video was over. Her voice is so hypnotic. I'll have to watch this during the day sometime so I can hear the actual story 😂.

    Michelle even address our shared enigmatic experiences of our Dreamtime : : Relativity/Physics; I describe as ‘a loophole’ for going backward in this 4-dimensional Space-Time we live each day here on Earth, but only experienced during REM sleep (and perhaps pre/post mortality?).
