[@MichellesSanctuary]

Well, you are! Don't forget it. Hope this brings some happiness and sleep to you as well.

[@rachelbelkmoyar4158]

Thank you, Rachel-- I do too. Sometimes it's nice to step back to a simpler time and be reminded of what matters most in this life. 💜

Thank you, Dale! I know there are so many moments in the past couple years we may have all thought can we make things a bit simpler? To just enjoy nature and a fire and companionship. Sweet dreams! 💜

I'm addicted to your snow stories and wished out loud for another one, lo and behold l find this one, thank you so much 💕

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hope you thoroughly enjoy all the snowy escapes I have planned this month!

[@elliottvic]

Lol your phone is listening!

[@alanmalczewski8631]

Sounds perfect, fireplace going, can't get any better!!!!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Crackles and all-- I am getting ready to light my little indoor fire pit. My fireplace was closed off decades ago but I like to imagine the families before me who got to use it! 💜

[@larrymarcus3176]

How can you have a fire pit in an apartment? I’ve made jokes to my son when he was decorating his apartment and told him to put a fire pit in his living room as a joke. There really are such things? Or are you barbecuing with a grill there another funny visual. Look yesterday I believed my mother was on her death bed and she’s ok today so I’m goofy. Hopefully she’ll come for thanksgiving tomorrow.

[@HaileyAndTheArt]

Your snow stories are my absolute favorite!!! I listen to them year round and I'm so excited about a new one!!!!!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thanks, Hailey-- so many more snow stories to come. There's a chance of real snow today and it always puts me in the mood to write.

[@courtneysolano7995]

I have had a very difficult year, sometimes it has been very hard to relax and sleep. But, your stories have helped me through, and thank you so much. Your stories are part of my bedtime routine these days. Hope you have many more stories for us!❤️

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Courtney, I'm so sorry you're having a difficult year. I hope you continue to find some peace and relax in this sanctuary. I'm so glad you have me along for your journey and hope this year shifts into a gentle, kinder time for you.

[@jenniferlafleur6605]

Love Sunday nights! Thank you!

Doing my best to make them something to look forward to. Sweet dreams, Jennifer! 💜

[@NoSoulBon]

I have come back to this story every night this week because I don't remember any of it 😂

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Aww, I hope it plays out in your dreams. Or that you make it as far as you like before falling asleep! 💜

So beautiful

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you so much-- wishing you the sweetest of dreams.

[@michelleMc2024]

Thank you so much, Michelle. This story was so beautiful. I had no idea who I would see when I looked out the window in the story, and smiled from ear to ear when I saw a departed much-loved uncle. Thank you for always taking the time to create these moment of blissful relaxation and peace for us all.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you for sharing this, Michelle! It brought me goosebumps. I have had similar visits on meditation journeys and it's always such a pleasant surprise. Sweet dreams!

[@sineadnichoirbin7232]

Loved it Michelle. Will listen to it again later in bed. Brilliant 💞

[@MichellesSanctuary]

So glad-- sweet dreams and wishing you a wonderful week!

[@deepquake9]

Cozy snow on the pariré. Thank you..

[@MichellesSanctuary]

My pleasure-- may it continue to bring the coziest of dreams. 💜

[@lyndabrennan4560]

I'm needing this story right now, thank you Michelle, hope you're well 💖

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hope you are well-- and get cozy for this first wintry tale of the season! 💜

Thank you, Hannah- sweet dreams! 💜

[@gretchenschwarzkopf2312]

these always help me sleep especially when i’m struggling with things that happened during the day

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hope they continue to help you wind down-- you deserve that time every night. Sweet dreams! 💜

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Sweet dreams, Nicholas! 💜

[@alannahstandingready7677]

I have horrible sleeps, trying this tonight, I'm so tired but can never fall asleep

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hope it helps-- that you may come to think of bedtime as a time that you can take a mental holiday and enjoy these stories as a relaxing escape. It's hard to associate positive feelings with bedtime when sleep is challenging, but you deserve to relax and unwind and dream away each night. 💜

[@amyhyde70]

😂I was so relaxed until the tap on the window😱 Wide awake now☺️ thinking of vampires. Tapping on the window. I think it was a Stephen King book. Ok.. I can take it. Last nights Michelle’s sanctuary, I fell asleep while she was saying what the story was going to be! Love the stories and calm voice. 😎

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Oh dear. Think more like Peter Pan- and adventures in that experience. I often dreamt of someone coming to my window as a friend because I was so very much in love with the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan as a child.

[@amyhyde70]

Thank you Michelle😂 Have you ever done a Peter Pan? As the youngest of 7 with a blind mother, we never had children’s stories. She was way to busy😊 I listened to a Thumbalina .. was that by you? That was so good. I like listening to light hearted things, even though I am addicted to Harry Potter 🤪 Really enjoy your work and the effort you put in. Absolutely amazing. Thank you a thousand times👍💥💥

[@larrymarcus3176]

Very many images you create could easily be used and have been by many sci fi horror authors like rod Serling and king. You even quoted bran stoker in a response somewhere. It’s all good literature. Being scared and excited have similar pathways in our brains. Vampires can be seen as sexually seductive or murderers . Actually do can some women I’ve known. Having a nice person tapping on my window is magical exciting and provocative I make it so with my imagination. You can too. Hell I’m having a women I don’t really know take me flying into the atmosphere in the middle of the night. Fairy tales can be frightening or charming all at the same time. It’s all the excitement of being human. Don’t be scared if Michelle knocks on your window. Your in safe hands.

[@theresalee4844]

Yes i will check ìt out. Im not into snow.

[@Laugh_always.havefun.]

This sounds so beautiful. I just have to find my companion since me and my husband are no longer together. It’s kind of hard at this point to find another companion. Any suggestions? I really love your beautiful voice.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I’m so sorry to hear that. I sometimes imagine my future companion if you want to go with someone in a romantic context. Or a childhood best friend or my grandmother who I lost as a child. I change it up based on how I feel. I often think it’s a good opportunity to reconnect to those who made our lives happy at some point- it helps us also remember the beautiful parts of ourselves that they brought out!

[@Laugh_always.havefun.]

@@MichellesSanctuary thank you Michelle you’re so kind ♥️

[@larrymarcus3176]

Just cause I’m giddy today I just want to buttress what Michelle had stated. The field of psychology is filled with all kinds of theories and heuristics for therapy. Some is relatively empirical some if not most is anecdotal but none deals with an important aspect of human emotions. Bliss,pleasure, happiness, inner peace and most important the driver for these things: the imagination. It our brains ergo our imaginations that helps create anxiety depression obsession and all manner of emoting and behaviors. This is not all that creates emotion but an important component. Hypnosis is defined as an state of deep relaxation that enables one to be prone to suggestion. We are hypnagogic all the time like awakening or falling asleep watching tv especially commercials when we are in love after sex when we enjoy a hobby etc. very few psychologists recognize this and fixate on belief systems or family dynamics etc which are no doubt very important but our narrator brilliantly hits all of this with precision. So use the meditation at face value and just go with it suspending logic reason and thought. If you want a romantic partner pick one and their yours. Anyone all of them past future made up man women pet friend cousin relatives made up friends etc. or just go alone and be at peace with yourself. The mechanics of the process works any which way. As Michelle has said pretend along your mind and body doesn’t know the difference as we are all actors acting our own autobiography. Suspend and let go. If you want take me along I’m a nice guy. I tease her with silky stuff like toilets because she’s usually incredibly detailed but still human and slips sometimes but as she says she provides a blank canvass a skeleton structure for us to use for our enjoyment. Life has dealt us all a laundry list of hardships and pains but we have our brains and imagination to see beyond time to help create a different narrative. Getting your brain to secrete dopamine is as simple as creating the scenario that does that in your imagination. We did this effortlessly as children but lost the knack. Just go with it. Your soul mate awaits. Imagine if you imagine enough your imaginations come true? You’re the actor and director. It sure beats negative catastrophic thinking.

@@larrymarcus3176 Can you explain *You tease her with silky things like toilets* I'm English and have trouble fathoming your sentences. Thank you

[@larrymarcus3176]

@@tracywilkes1314 sure Tracy. I made a comment on her video of first snow on the prairie which is a time travel back to a century ago where there was no electric running water and no toilets. So I made a joke about how I would follow her anywhere but could we please have toilets. She replied how bout chamber pots was pretty clever. Hope this makes some sense to you

[@larrymarcus3176]

Really don’t need bed warmers body heat works better. I told you I’ll go anywhere you take me but can we have indoor toilets too? It is a sweet story love the animals

Chamberpots? you can have whatever you want. your imagination fills in what I don’t write.

Not my intention at all and sorry for your loss. And while painful to lose them, for me I often bring those along with me so I can remember them in my dreams and the best times together.

Never apologize for your fears. I have over two hundred stories and meditations so hopefully you find one that soothes you.
