1-HR Winter Sleep Story ❄️ THE SNOW DAY 💤 1980s Calm Bedtime Story for Grown-Ups (asmr)

[@sineadnichoirbin7232]

Omg! The era of my youth! I can't wait for this one. George Michael was and still is my hero from that era 💞💞

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Maybe one of his songs will be playing on an FM radio in this journey. There are a few opportunities as I mention music a few times. Hope this one brings back pleasant memories! 💜

[@meredithf.1022]

I feel exactly the same, Sinéad... About loving the 80's, and about George Michael. You are lucky to have met him (at least, it appears that you did in your profile pic). I can't wait to return to my childhood in this sleep story- Thank you, Michelle!

[@sineadnichoirbin7232]

@Meredith.F it's photo-shopped lol. I never met him. He was my childhood hero 😍💞

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

What an absolutely perfect moment for this July afternoon! I loved everything about this story and feel a bit cozily nostalgic and chilly while it’s in the triple digits outside today

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it-- such a hot summer! A heat wave just arrived here and I too long for some cool escapes.

[@profesorakarenv]

I am a child of the sixties and it was so awesome when my aunt would take us sledding and ice skating….Silver Park was the place. Thank you for bringing that memory to the surface❤️. Absolutely beautiful narrative!

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

Still my favorite. Our dog Charlie wags his tail in his sleep randomly during this story when he hears you say his name and it is the most adorable thing ever ❤

[@meredithf.1022]

I can't wait for this one! A cozy snow day in the 80's, and a nap with a cat: all delightful memories from my childhood. Congratulations also on your new channel, Michelle. I'm so excited to meditate with you!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Mine too-- I'm so happy you are part of this journey and hope you enjoy! I think this year perfect for time travel adventures.

Living in a Northern California valley we rarely drop to freezing temperatures.. so this is an absolute DREAM AWAY!!!

I was aching for my early youth and realized why in many ways it felt like a safe time. Especially in the town where I was raised-- hope that you can customize this to bring back your favourite feelings from that era.

[@meredith3361]

Perfect, it’s snowing tonight! Sadly I do still have to go to work tomorrow. Boooo.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Let that wait for tomorrow. At least this night you can dream away and enjoy the snow! Hope it starts you to an amazing week. 💜

[@summerbowman9736]

This was the coziest most wonderful snow story! I LOVE that it was in a different era. The timing ended up being perfect too because it was uploaded the day after getting half a foot of snow here in coastal Virginia-which is so rare!! I relished in every moment and listed to it twice! Thank you, Michelle!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and what synchronicity! I am hoping it snows in New York this weekend! Wishing you more cozy adventures to come.

This story is still, my very favorite one. I’ve listened to it many, many times, and still, come back to this one to help me relax after a very stressful day. Could be, because I loved the 80’s so much. Also…I do love all your stories, it’s just this is 1 of my favs. Thank You, for all your stories.

[@JM.TheComposer]

This was... a surprisingly difficult story for me. I love the concept, and you beautifully captured the essence, the very *feel* of it all, when a childhood snow day blows in. Looking back to my own age in 1986 (single digits,) I didn't have a particularly healthy relationship with the world, and I never expected to feel some of that spilling back out in this idyllic snow day adventure. Still, I'm going to come back to this one. I like how you presented Honey Brook, as a place where we can re-imagine things as they ought to have been, without judgment or fear. Perhaps this story can be viewed as a window into honouring the past, while recognising we have the power to create better relationships in the present. Maybe this wasn't the response you were expecting, Michelle, but you hit on something here for me. It was a beautiful story, and I guess we are all affected differently. Thank you for this very introspective trip down memory lane.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you for sharing this-- we are all affected differently. I was a single-digit child at this point in history as well in a remarkably traumatic world at times. But I recall the good as well and know that whenever we as humans find that kindness and peace and connection, we are hardwired to protect it. Growing up, raised by my grandparents much of the time, my grandfather would drive through my small village and wave to everyone he passed and they waved and smiled back. At the age of 3, I thought-- wow, he knows everybody! He's so popular. Later on I realized he didn't know everyone-- he was just being kind and they returned the kindness. It stayed with me. As did the neighbors who were always involved in one another's lives.

[@jennelle.v]

Thank you for this wonderful sleep story. I have been dealing with anxiety in the early morning hours lately. It was wonderful how you described everything and everyone in such detail as you always do. I was transported to the cozy little village. Then I fell asleep. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and talent with us. I can’t wait until you upload meditations on your new channel ❤️❄️❤️❄️

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad-- thank you-- I am finishing up a few new meditation scripts now. I hope you manage to get back to sleep if you can. Those are the hours that most often I find myself overthinking and awakened. I have to let my brain know its okay to solve everything another time and that I may still sleep.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

[@larrymarcus3176]

The 80’s aren’t that long ago to me. It was a decade of very special memories great friends career highs and lots of growth for me. My childhood of innocence happened long before these years. I remember them well. Yes Campbell soup snow angels snow forts and rejoicing a snow day. Your little home pics were precious with a cute little precocious smart ass little girl with a gleam in her eyes. Certainly loved by all. Was glad it finished with the all grown up version. it always seemed to me we got bigger snow storms years ago until it dawned on me I was 2 feet tall. I hope we are finished with snow so far and hope it gets get a wee bit warmer I can’t deal with the cold it’s brutal. We were warned not to eat the snow when I was a kid because it supposedly contained strontium 90 from nuclear tests. I ate it anyway could explain all my problems.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Indeed those snowfall amounts seemed greater when smaller. I am hoping for a snow storm that sticks. Some of the most magical dog walks I had last night were when the rest of the city was asleep and the untouched snow waited outside the door. You're still here, so the snow didn't kill you. As I child I gulped up more of the Hudson River than any human being should, miles downstream from the PCBs. I imagine my idea of what a river tastes like is not exactly how clean rivers would taste. But here we are.

[@larrymarcus3176]

@@MichellesSanctuary the east river would have killed you! Body parts would have stuck in your throat. Listening now to your sweet story trying to calm down after frustrating phone call with my aged mother who refuses to let me come get her for dinner and load a book on her tablet or have me come over for a visit. Now rest of family will somehow insinuate it’s my fault. Untenable situations. Bring back 1986! I’ll go scream into a pillow and try and turn on my stoic persona. That usually doesn’t work too well. I’ll go hug my sleeping dog

[@MichellesSanctuary]

@@larrymarcus3176 we cannot control other people in our lives. We can only control how we respond. Take care of yourself and remember you worth. Scream in a pillow and do what you can for self-care. Hugging a dog always helps. I got the "stoic artist" superlative years ago when running the arts and crafts program at a summer camp. And I thought, am I really that stoic?

[@larrymarcus3176]

@@MichellesSanctuary thanks for being you. I know I cannot control others but I live with em. So I can’t help my errant feelings when their trampled on. You’re about as stoic as as that little girl in your photos. You are certainly a better actor then me and possibly have a better poker face but you feel things as intensely as any human can. You have the youthful capacity to roll with it better and have mastered the fake it till you make it ideation. You have better global gestalt then I then most for that matter and have tons more grit. But stoicism isn’t compatible with your highly artistic brain but compatible with your rational brain and both of those are much More highly developed then this mere mortal. As for worth I accept all of us have worth just by being alive but it’s nice to have someone appreciate it every once in awhile- they don’t have to but it would be nice. Climbing the mountain with a boulder on my back has a nice view but it gets old quickly. It’s snowing here which means it’s doing so by you. Hope it accumulates for you and doesn’t here. Shoveling isn’t my idea of fun and ice angels won’t cut it for Lola to be able to find grass in yard to do her business.

[@ashleyscott9834]

I absolutely love your videos but don’t like that you are branching away from actual meditation into story telling. I guess it’s just constructive criticism. Not really liking where the stories are branching off too. I enjoy most of your older ones that are actually meditations. Sorry for my unpopular opinion. I just think it’s fair you know… I still listen to your older ones though. But they definitely changed in the past year and a half into something I don’t want to listen too.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I have a sense you will like the new channel. Have you subscribed? As you know, I offer all my content for free. And in order to survive as a creator, I have to continue with what allows growth. KZbin was hiding all my meditations that weren't specific to storytelling and so the audience on this channel is drawn to that. I would love to have a constant stream of money and time to do all that I love. But I have to focus on being mindful. So definitely, feel free to subscribe because the new channel is going to be like my older content as well as more work in the body scan/sleep hypnosis/relationship/wellness side.

[@ashleyscott9834]

Thank you my beautiful Angel. I definitely look for my favourite mediations by you nightly. They don’t show but I know the name of them and can find them. I really appreciate and enjoy your perfect meditations. I knew you understood deeply. Thank you 🙏🏼 🕷😭🇨🇦
