I wanted to revisit and update an earlier story about a tropical storm. This one is longer and more detailed and with new characters! How is everyone sleeping these days?

My sleep is still severely compromised but your channel gets me the deep rest and sleep I actually manage to get in the second half of the night. The first half I have need of longer meditations. Your channel and the other very few I listen to regularly are now my nightly oxygen. 🙏

[@Laugh_always.havefun.]

I love this!! Thank you Michelle ♥️

[@drikaweb]

Oh, you are so awesome. I love stories with storms. Thank you. Lately my sleep hasn't been so good, as Finnish summer is a very difficult time for me. As Brazilian, I am used to having bright days and dark nights throughout the year. However here in Finland we have no nights at all during summer and I just can't get use to sleeping mask. To make things worse, this year's season is very hot and dry. More than usual, so I can't sleep good because I sweat even with the fun working all night. It is a struggle between hot and cold, as I sweat and then feel cold. But summer is beautiful and although I don't sleep well, I still enjoy these two and half months of the year. 😘💐💖

This story will put me out like a light. We had a beautiful thunder lightning storm will we were at the trailer. The window is right beside my bed and it was very cool night it was heaven. Thanks very much Michelle.

Yes! I'm so excited for this new story/meditation! Michelle, you dazzle me every week with your brilliant imagination and beautiful voice!. I am so happy that I found your channel! You are such a beautiful soul! Your stories have kept me positive and calm in moments when I truly need them. Thank you for being you! You really are amazing for all that you do for us! ❤💕❤💕

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, as always, Kendra. This one I pulled out of my imaginative hat rather last minute. But I wanted to revisit this theme since I touched on it earlier in my videos. Surprisingly, my scripts are now double the length they used to be!

[@kendralove813]

@@MichellesSanctuary yes! I love all of your older creations but I appreciate it so much that your recent stories are longer! Your longer script have definitely not gone unnoticed! They are amazing!

[@michellemcgowan5657]

Loving you channel, I suffer with tinnitus so like to listen to something while going to sleep , love you upload so often as it gives me a lot of different choices each night but must admit the beach getaways are my favorite as we’ve not been able to go on holiday for so long and living in rainy uk I can dream I’m on vacation 😎🌞🛩🏝❤️❤️. Thank you 🙏🏻 xx

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hope you enjoy this one-- in addition to sharing a name, I also have suffered with tinnitus. Wishing you the sweetest of dreams with this one! It may not take away from the rain-factor, but I have many beach stories without rain, as I"m sure you know 💜

[@douglove2412]

Ah! Michelle, I didn’t know you suffer tinnitus. I’m a sufferer, also. I’m sorry for you, but misery does love company, so I’m glad you’re on the team! Your giving and thoughtful nature brings comfort. Thank you for your great work and your dedication to spreading wellness throughout the world. Your healing work makes a difference! Be well!

[@michelarose9486]

We absolutely need more like this & the Amazonian rainforest one! The rain + shower combo is absolutely perfect. I re watch this every night.

I have always been scared of storms. I have most of my life in the south and we have alot of storms/tornadoes. When I saw this story title I was abit reluctant to listen. I am so glad I did. It really help me with my fears. Now it is one of my favorite stories to listen to. Thank you for making it Michelke. You are the best!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I think you are amazing-- for taking a chance and facing something that brings fear. Especially those things that we have no choice but to sometimes face. Sweet dreams, Teresa! 💜

[@cindymeans2171]

of all of the stories this one is my favorite. i come back to it every night. dont get me wrong, the others are really great but this one is the best.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you enjoy this one-- it's always been special to me and I love a good tropical storm. Sweet dreams, Cindy!

[@michelarose9486]

I am addicted to this story. For months, the mix of retreating to a cozy shower after a pre storm walk on the beach to a cozy storm snuggle session couldn’t make me calmer. You are what’s keeping me from any more chemical contributions to my sleep. You’re the best, I hope know how comforting & supporting you are to your viewers lives! :D

I’m listening tonight while Elsa is making her way to my city. It’s fun to have a storm.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I love it! Yes, there has been rain pounding against my air conditioner all week and it's so soothing.

[@profesorakarenv]

Michelle, this is stunning! I actually fell asleep for a late afternoon nap. It will be even more appropriate tonight, as severe storms are raging here in West Michigan. I am not at the lake, but the effect is much the same out here in the country!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

It's been stormy all week in New York. Although it's sunny now and I still took a nap! 💜

[@lauracassapi4885]

I can’t help but keep coming back to this sleep story! I love how the rain sounds come in as the story progresses. Must have listened to this 20 times and I still haven’t listened to the full story; I love it!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you Laura! I love that it’s brought you enough enjoyment to keep listening! I feel exactly the same way with rain stories. You may enjoy this week’s- similarly a storm rolls in to the Cotswolds. It’s a follow up to my first Cotswolds story. 💜

[@JM.TheComposer]

Michelle did you get a new microphone? I noticed that in all of your recent creations, your voice definitely sounds clearer and better. I like it! We've had a lot of storms around here lately, and I saved and replayed this one for those stormy bedtime nights. This story sets the perfect environment, and it was really helpful! Something about intense rainstorms is strangely freeing - the novelty of it all pulls us away from normal routines and feelings. It's like a quick escape from normal reality, and you captured this really well. Whilst listening in bed, I never made it past the 14-minute mark. Coming back now, I really appreciate how you wove in the message about the impermanence of storms in life, and how we should only focus on what we can control. The description of the sounds of the rain pelting across the windows was so accurate, so calming. Thank you for another wonderful sleep story!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you for your thoughtful message! I've changed some of the frequencies and recording practices. I'm glad you enjoy it. I switched microphones about a year and half ago-- my earlier stuff was on a different mic. I've tried to upgrade and grow as the channel grows! I completely agree about the storms-- although we have had constant storms in this city! Every day for a month. Last night I was calling my cat because I thought she was creating havoc in the middle of the night. In actuality, it was the sound of hail on my air conditioner!

[@meredith3361]

So perfect! I grew up in the deep South and am now in the Midwest-the storms are what I miss the most! Thank you! 😽

[@MichellesSanctuary]

They are so amazing, aren't they? My folks always ended up taking me to the South during hurricane season. And while we never actually had to evacuate, my dad was crazy enough to let us go out in that surf! I know where I learned to surrender to the tide. 💜

[@yonitznkc]

Michelle, this is great literature! 👍🏼 If I was still teaching I’d present some of your sleepstories to the department chair for curriculum lesson planning approvals. Students would create stories suited best for them, or for anyone else they wish. Their vocabulary would become so very enhanced, and students would grow emotionally exploring and expressing their developing human nature. I know this IS published here, I just hope your work might expand into print (also understand what a lock a few elites have on book publishing). I can envision expanding your most favorited sleepstories into novels someday; or screenplays. I’ve recently dreamt up a rom-com plot for a screenplay. Maybe I should start outlining.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

That means a lot-- I have had a few professors ask to use my work in classes. Maybe it is time to teach my own creative writing class.

[@thenotsostarvingartist]

Wow. You guys are all insane 😂 living through this exact story was the opposite of relaxing because I was afraid I was going to DIE. This is by far the most bizarre thing I’ve found on KZbin

[@thenotsostarvingartist]

To clarify - tropical storm is not just a thunderstorm! I live in south Florida, and have had literal trees fall on my home while I’m in it….. so…… perhaps just the wrong title… 😐 65 mph winds are not relaxing

[@rudy2360]

Michelle - I love your work - but something bothered me as I was visualizing your story: 5:22 "you place a dog leash in your palm" - wait - is there a dog? - where is the dog? why do we have a dog leash without a dog? Hope to settle this matter of uncertainty.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I need to check the script but there is a dog in this story.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I believe the dog is on the leash and you walk the beach and let the dog run free. It’s covered a minute or so later in the script.

[@chooseaname671]

Story is great but the constant flashing lights in video.. not so much.
