1-Hour Sleep Story | WINDOWS BY THE SEA | Guided Meditation for Deep Sleep (asmr, female voice)

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Let's make 2021 all about focusing on what we dream of, what we most desire, and all that we are capable of. A little bit at a time-- starting with self-care and nights of soothing, dream-filled sleep. After the best sleep, I am always able to take on the hardest challenges in life. And I hope the same for all of you as well. I love this community-- and am so proud to be part of a special place in the world where we all seek to find peace and enjoy the magical powers of the imagination.

[@JM.TheComposer]

I don't know if this is what you intended, Michelle, but to me this story seems like a very artful way of telling us that the current worldwide crisis, with our lives, cities, and businesses in a kind of twilight, is just a season. And there are always constants in the background we can lean on, and we can still find beauty in these times. Maybe I'm off base, but that's the feeling I got from this. Another beautiful creation as always, Michelle. Thank you for all you do!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Yes-- this was very much an intention. And may we enjoy it as much as we can, even if it is not the prettiest or most comfortable. There are extractions we may make, especially in the solitude this season is bring us. 💜

[@michaelbutler3552]

Yes Michelle, what would we do without the power of imagination? Everything can only be the “here and now,” but we constantly think of what could have been, or our hopes for the years ahead. Are we ever content with our past decisions? Not me, I’d go back and change so much. But you’re here Michelle to add comfort and solace to so many people with your magical stories. The power of imagination takes us to where ever we want to go.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I would probably be scaling the walls at this point without my imagination! I do love to ride that wave and create what I can... it seems the more we access, the more the opportunities for more imaginative things take place. It's quite limitless, indeed.

[@lindalou7503]

Michelle, you have outdone yourself with this one. Seriously I was kind of anxious last night when I laid down and by the end of this story I was half asleep and completely content.love your stories. The only thing that kind of throws me off is the word beverage being used so much in all of the stories. But that's small and honestly I look forward to listening to all your stories.. This one had reminded me of the snowy mountain retreat

[@MichellesSanctuary]

That's so interesting-- is it the way I say beverage or just the term in general? Hope you continue to find peace and sleep with my stories!

Would you ever consider making a much longer one? Even if after your voice fades out the atmospherics stay in? I would love one of your meditations to last me throughout a part of my sleep as I wake up when it goes silent. Perhaps even 4 hours if not more! That would be wild! Thank you for all you do.

I don't know how I missed this videos so many times. I was thinking it was a completely different story.. I was thinking it was the one with the old castle where there was ball room from long ago and as you enter the it from a long walk.. there is a lady that takes ur coat and a cat is toe and heal .. I absolutely love this it is my new go to favorite.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm glad you found this one and enjoy it! It's really special to me. I think you are thinking of the Mystical Castle in Scotland.

[@RachelCaruso]

Hey Michelle, I have a new video idea (let's see if this is another intuitive prediction of something already in the making hehe). It'd be cool if you did a video to help people get ready to wind down in the evening and get ready for bed. It could include things like reminding people all the reasons why it's beneficial and divine to turn off their minds, rest and venture into dreamland, etc. As well as affirmations that they did a job well done for the day and sleep is a part of each day's success, and they deserve sleep. Maybe an invitation to settle in with any other relaxing activities the listener enjoys such as reading a peaceful book with a cup of tea, or simple stretches. As it progresses, it could have invitations to take care of bedtime activities (wash up and feel fresh, change into comfy pjs, cozify the sleeping space, etc) and even one last look at the night sky, no matter what the weather. Basically, it would be to help people find pleasure in the idea of bedtime as it approaches. A lot of people who have anxiety around sleeping or insomnia are already triggered before they climb into bed. And they put off sleep or dread it, and this painful transition into the next day often carries on throughout each day. Sometimes a meditation for when you're already in bed isn't enough. ...I may be writing this comment as part of my bedtime procrastination haha, but it's also the perfect time to share an inspired idea. 🙂 Anybody else feeling this kind of meditation?

[@RachelCaruso]

Oh wow, I left this comment as I was preparing to listen to this video after I got in bed...I did not listen to the part where you did affirm the deservingness of sleep and a feel-good routine! It's nice that it was addressed. Dedicating a whole video to it would still be great though.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I think it's something I want to look into do, even having a video that's just a preparation for bed. Mix some breathing, yoga, stretching, prep, etc. It's a really solid idea. Lately, I keep procrastinating the things I need to be doing to get to sleep.

[@RachelCaruso]

Awesome! Finding respite in the night isn't always a given. I hope you find your bedtime rhythm again.
