You're already well on the way if you're showing up and giving meditation a try. Showing up and admitting you want to heal is sometimes the hardest part. One breath, one step, and one moment at a time. Without judging yourself and how it plays out-- you've got this.💜💜
Thank you Michelle, I've been in such heartache after running into my ex recently. I could not anticipate how much that seemingly innocuous encounter could affect me, but it accentuated my loneliness and I have been grappling with despair and the kind of negative, repetitive thoughts I thought I was done with. I still don't understand how I was able to be set back so drastically. This helped me to relax into a comforting sleep. Dear ones who are suffering with the pain of loss, unfairness, undeserved loneliness, we are not alone in our experience. It is possible to be valuable and nevertheless feel overlooked. May we not overlook our own value, may we be the type of friends to ourselves that we try to be to others. 😢❤
My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry-- our bodies keep score. Even if we are mentally prepared and the best place it's possible to be set back. You are not alone, and all of these thoughts are completely normal. There is one particular person I avoid at all costs because of the way he unnerves me (and it's not easy since he's a block away-- but two and a half years and going strong!). I'm sending you love-- and hope you continue to heal and gently ease back into the state of happiness you deserve. Sometimes, especially in a world where we are put under so much pressure, it's easy to forget our value at times. But keep honoring yours and I will do the same. You absolutely deserve to be seen, celebrated, and honored for who you are (and get a great night of sleep along the way). 💜
I don't know how I would even react if I ran into my ex I'm still deeply in love with her and I have changed my schedule for shopping and I don't go anywhere I think she might go other than Walmart because it is the only option without traveling over an hour away. Don't feel bad for having a setback I have managed to respect her boundaries fighting all my instincts and causing myself so much inner turmoil, I feel abandoned even though I logically shouldn't she said she needed space to be the person she needed to be for me but I'm starting to think it was one of those it's not you it's me things although I always thought our relationship was great it was by far my best relationship and I really thought she was happy and because she had been hospitalized for her mental health for several months shortly before she asked me to help her get her own place after over 8 years of living together all my instincts told me that I was losing her but I wanted to believe her so I did even afterwards when we were still seeing each other I felt like she still loved me even though we hadn't been intimate since before her hospitalization and even in her final text she assured me that she had always and would always love me but couldn't focus on herself and me and I still believe that but this no contact has shown me that I have a lot of issues myself that I need to take care of weather she and I ever reconnect can't be my motivation because I need to do everything for myself for the first time in my life I'm trying to discover how to love myself and I have had the most best results from these videos
@@crazycraig1978 lately I've experienced a number of deep losses and I had to actively let go of things that defined me, that were an integral part of my life. As I wrestled with those, I found that finally, when I wasn't trying, I could let my ex go too.
Thank you for this. I recently been going through a really miserable time. This really comforts me. Your voice is soothing. Thank you for your hard work. It’s definitely worth it. ❤️💯
I'm a long time listener and Love your stories and more. I LOVE the stories about cabins of all kinds. You show Beautiful nature. Yet you describe these Cozy cabins and never show the inside of them. The Cozy bed .fireplace and much more coziness inside the cabin. Would Love to see the visual of the inside of cabin. ❤ Love you Michelle. Just a suggestion. ❤
I often don't get to the description until the end and will start. I believe that in "The Waterfall Cottage" I start the story in the morning at the cabin. I will definitely delve more into this in some stories!
I'm so sorry-- hang in there. It's not easy, but it's possible. Keep cultivating that sanctuary of your mind, even when everything feels out of control you can tend to that in little ways. 💜
Michelle, I was only in the meditation one minute when your voice hit home in me when you mentioned that our dreams gives us access to our desires and parts of us that need healing. That was so powerful to me that I instantly felt a tear run down my face because I know that statement is absolutely true and I must have some built up energy that needs to be released or given attention. You just know how to say things in a way that I find my mind understands and connects with. I truly know I’m not alone in the sanctuary:) -Matthew Falkowski
I'm so glad you were able to move that energy-- and I hope your dreams continue to unlock desires and parts of you that deserve more kindness and attention. Thanks for being part of this sanctuary and having me along for your journey through life! 💜
Just discovered your channel. Listened to the video on grief- and it touched my heart so deeply. I am so grateful for you!! …and have now moved on to this video, as I find my way out. Please do more on healing complex trauma! 💜
Thank you for sharing, Kendra-- I really want to create more meditations for this. If you have anything specifically you'd like to hear or experience in these types of recordings, let me know. Sending love and congratulations for seeking healing and growing!
@@MichellesMeditationSanctuary I rarely write comments, but this truly deeply resonated and spoke so deeply to me. Honestly anything further on grief, trauma, getting out of fight/flight, uncertainty/clarity, trust, healing betrayal or abandonment would be so excellent! Can you tell it’s been a doozy of a year? Thank you for showing up and being responsive and open 💜🌀
I'd be grateful for your patience in joining this thread as I feel I'm going through something similar. I echo those requests and add the idea for help dealing with the ramifications of anxious attachment style, the bereavement over a damaging relationship with an avoidant partner.
@@ksadogI found this video last night as I returned from a joint birthday party. I was told this incarnation is my first here on earth and I just felt a little alone, thank you. A friend created a method to release trauma, he has himself had severe multiple complex PTSD and found a technique to release the anxiety which seems to work with many of his clients. I am off to try and find the video mentioned elsewhere on grief. Thank you for these videos it seemed to work last night 💚
Nice , I'm bipolar so often feel overwhelmed, I get very lonely as well, I don't like to bother my family too often about my issues as they have a lot going on in there own lives , so this meditation is going to be so helpful, thankfully you're always here for me, thank you Michelle, love always 🙏💙💜💖
Hi @lynda Brennan. I'm also diagnosed with bipolar and just wanted to let you know about an awesome channel here on RUclips called "polar warriors". It's created by a guy who has bipolar and has lots of tips and techniques to help manage bipolar and even has some to show others to help them understand and support. Sending comfort and stability your way. Blessings, Dot
I recently tried seeing a Hypnotherapist as like you, I didn't want to worry my family, it was really helpful. She made me feel it's perfectly ok to cry, it's understandable to feel overwhelmed and there's nothing to be ashamed about when you can't cope. She also made me feel safe. She would close the blinds, put a soft blanket over me, and I'd close my eyes, with soft music in background, she would talk and within minutes, my heart rate would slow down. It got me on road to recovery and it was money well spent.
Thanks for saying about not having to be ashamed when you can't cope, thank you! I'm not really coping at the moment and it can easily become a vicious circle when you see this as evidence of failure.
Michelle this is by far one of your best yet ,wow how it made me relax so much your voice in this one is simply soothing and so calming to me ,never stop doing what you do ,you being me such peace my trusted friend ❤❤ love ya ❤️
Thanks a million ❤👏 ! You have a very beautiful voice and you helped me fall asleep... and that was pretty difficult for me..., so thank you so much. from a teenager girl who lives in france 😁. Keep up the good work ! 👋🏻
I'm alone 24\7 & every Holiday, my adult son will do my shopping, errands, because im agoraphobic, i appreciate that,bt he wont ever visit,not even 30 mins&every Holiday he spends with wife's family, very lonely 😔 thank you for your mediations 💛
I’m very alone. I am suffering with a very negative mind. I want to be free from suffering forever. I want to be with my twin flame and pets. I want to be happy and healthy. I want my family to be well and thriving. I want everyone to be happy. I am very isolated, alone and sad. I really need loving people to take me in.
I'm so sorry it has been hard for you-- and I hope that you continue to focus on all the things you want, need, and deserve. I do believe dreaming is a form of planning-- and allowing yourself to see all these good things unfolding will soften the hurt. 💜
Stay in that sad place as long as you need to. And if it ever feels right to listen to this one I hope you do. And if not I hope you find something meets you where you are now. Sending a hug. 💜
I would never have settings set to include ads there. I’m so sorry this happened. RUclips has been making changes and I can only imagine this was a glitch.

You're so welcome! And thank you for letting me be part of your sleep journey, Josh! 💜
This is my favourite meditation, 39000 views mean I'm really not alone ❤ your work Michelle thanks heaps Tania

A thin yet binding thread between us all old soul ❤️
There's a thought I often like to visit.
@@MichellesMeditationSanctuary
I think you’re more then a visitor you’re a resident. It’s evident in the stories you create.
I can’t stop crying, this seems to help
I'm so sorry 💜
I just had an awful day and listening to you is the only thing that’s brought relief.
Thank you Michelle ❤
Life has away to provide for those alone/ separated moments so we may know also connectedness...night sleep fairy. Thank you. ❤️✨🙏
So very true-- I've learned so much from them the past few years.
I feel like I've been in a state of collapse recently, and needed this more than you know. thank you so much Michelle ❤️
I'm so sorry-- hang in there. It's not easy, but it's possible. Keep cultivating that sanctuary of your mind, even when everything feels out of control you can tend to that in little ways. 💜
Michelle your voice does help me tremendously, I would love if you could do another grief one I'm missing my dad so much it hurts😢
Yes, I have one in the works... I'm so sorry for the pain you're experiencing. Life takes us on quite the ride. Sending a hug!
Keep it up.. I am going to share..🎉❤
Thank you so much 😄

I'm truly honored! Cats are discerning!
The positive lull in your voice makes this hard to get through because I’m in a sad place :(
Stay in that sad place as long as you need to. And if it ever feels right to listen to this one I hope you do. And if not I hope you find something meets you where you are now. Sending a hug. 💜
You need to change your ad settings. An ad disrupted after the mediation began about 30 seconds in,
I would never have settings set to include ads there. I’m so sorry this happened. RUclips has been making changes and I can only imagine this was a glitch.
Do you pay for ad free videos? You have to subscribe. I’m never interrupted by ads. YT is such an amazing resource, I don’t mind paying at all.
I felt more alone.
What would make you feel less alone?
Frustrating
Creepy
What do you listen to that helps you self-soothe?
