The Crystal Cave: A Magical Sleep Story for Healing, Peace, and Renewal

[@LindaFountaine]

Crystal Grotto is a masterpiece in every way. Thank you for creating it to help others.

[@venessalizabeth]

I live with my mother who has Alzheimer’s and am a single mom to my five month old daughter…life has been incredibly overwhelming for me these last few months, but Stephen’s sleep stories often bring me to tears-I’m just so relieved to have a few moments of peace before winding down for the night. I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude for this channel. Goodnight everyone, sleep well 💙

[@gldnsunrising7761]

@venessalizabeth Ooff.. thats sounds like ALOT honey, I wish I could give you a hug and come give you some relief. If you just happen to live in my county in florida i would do that. Im sending you a big hug thru the ethers ♡♡♡

[@livetrueenlighten55]

That is rough. Blessings and best wishes to you and yours. Love and everything good.

I always had sleeping problems. Then i discovered alcohol and used it to put myself to sleep for 5 years. Needless to say i felt ashamed but had no choice. I could not fall asleep. .... And now its been 1 month since i touched any alcohol all thanks to you. I have been listening to your storied almost daily and many times even listening same story twice. I love the way you narrate, taking pauses as story progresses thus enabling us to get the same feeling our childhood hed time stories. If you are still reading, i have a request. I really loved the ambience rain sound you had in the " tent in the forest story, or the lighthouse stoey". It would be nice if you can play around more with ambience music lwt it be rain, flcampfire, bells etc. Maybe increase the amount of ambience as story progresses

Hey Steven, I work abroad as a seafarer, my environmental state is isolated and exhausted. For up to 4 month continuously before I can go on a holiday I work give or take 12hours every single day. Don’t get me wrong I love my job some days and when we do get down time it is amazing but the effect that this isolated, controlled environment puts you in can lead to poor mental health and each night without fail I listen to something of yours in no particular order because it is all so good, so I repeat them often. The cozy flight is my fav because it makes me feel like I am leaving this place. Good job on help so many of us that need to escape so that we can stay sane and sleep well.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment Sascha. I wish you peace 🙏🏻

[@hilaryadrian40]

I loved being on the water (and went for a nice cooling swim in the cave) 😊

[@zepher2470]

I love these videos! Could you do a horse-drawn carriage video? Would be so relaxing 😌

[@mishellepitts8677]

I love that you have us take a moment to be grateful for a peaceful sleep. Many people do not have such comfortable situations! And we take our comfortable beds and homes for granted. So thank you for reminding me!

[@mysticsuzie1341]

Thank you so much. ❤ I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm awaiting surgery. Your sleep stories have helped me during the sleepless hours of the mornings and this one in particular will be my constant friend. 🙏

[@Stephen_Dalton]

I wish you well and I hope all is ok with you as you go through this time 🙏🏻

[@mysticsuzie1341]

@@Stephen_Dalton thank you. 💕

[@lynnA9625-c5v]

I hope you're doing well in recovery Suzie ❤

[@douglove2412]

My wife and my sister have been working through their cancer surgeries, chemo, and radiation the last several years, and are both healthy and strong now. It’s amazing. I hope you will find, as we have, that the medical world is full of kind and loving people with the expertise and ability to cure. It can be a rough road, but we have found that keeping a loving sense of humor through the seriousness and pain overcomes the fear and anxiety. We accept everyone’s good wishes, good thoughts, good vibes, and prayers as part of the healing. Our good vibes and prayers go out to you now…. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ P.S. Is Stephen an incredible healer, or what!?

[@brynapizzo]

Oh my, after reading the description of this story combined with the meditation 🧘‍♀️, I am looking forward to hearing it. It sounds like a listening experience that I will wish to hear again. Thank you, Stephen. Love and blessings to you, your family, and everyone. Sweet dreams. ❤

[@Zahra.Bassam]

Hey, im dealing with health anxiety and panic attacks. And what really makes me feel better is when i imagine myself in a huge white bedroom filled with comfy mattresses and pillows and very cold weather and i can hear it snowing outside and everything is white. Then i fall asleep the way i like it with covering myself with fluffy blankets. Maybe u can do something similar to this?

[@christierichardson2841]

Thank you!! You're my favorite story teller ❤. You're voice is like butter. Absolutely no one sounds like you.

[@marciehall541]

Thank you ! Love your voice, ☮️💜

[@barbaramcenaney2263]

This is my favourite story so far. It just seemed to resonate with everything I'm feeling at the moment after a loss in my family. ❤️

[@susanlawson2372]

Hi Stephen am listening to you in hospital as fell from a ladder ad on to it so you are soothing me through extreme pain, good to have you with me. Look forward to your stories Thank you

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Get well!!

[@HannieHoffmann]

Thank you so much for your beautiful Gifts ... May Peace and Love be yours...🙏❤️

[@olivias.5452]

I've tried to listen to two of your stories now, and both times i barely get to 5 minutes before ive passed out. Im a teenager that struggles with falling asleep. So if it only takes five minutes, you're doing something right. Thanks for the good night's sleep! ❤

[@stvslas]

I feel blessed to have found this channel. Like many of your listeners, I carry a heavy load and sleep is often elusive. The stress and worry of caring for loved ones who are sick and who struggle has taken its toll. I have listened to many of your stories now and love them all but this one has to be my favourite! The focus on healing was esoecially helpful. I swear the aches and pains I normally wake with are not as bad this morning, I feel less exhausted and my heart is definitely lighter. So thank you Stephen! You are providing wonderful service to a troubled and weary world. May we all Pray for Peace. 🙏❤🤗

[@Aaron751]

It’s seems you enjoy using a water theme. There was an 80s cassette back in the day very much like these vids. I can’t find it and wish you would make a similar one. It uses phrasing like “you are floating on a raft down a lazy river. The trees over head barely letting the sun play across your skin….”. I’d love one like that again. Great work!

[@susanboardman9294]

This my favourite story. So beautiful and totally absorbing. I listened again this morning to feel relaxed before going to a wedding. Large gathering cause me stress. I also wanted to hear it til the end without falling asleep. I love where it takes me. Thank you ❤

[@shaylanjacobs6244]

Hello Stephen! My husband and I enjoy listening to your sleep stories. I really appreciate the ambient sounds continuing after the story. Also, the tip about setting the timer on iphone to stop playing has been a total life saver! Idea for a story-something with a carriage and horse clomping on cobblestone roads. One more-a magical forrest-warm sunbeams, green moss, luscious ferns, tall aromatic trees like redwoods or pines and maybe some fairies 🧚🏻 Cheers!

[@providencia6702]

Wait… How do you only have 38k?? Your stories are literally the only things that put me to sleep… So underrated ❤

[@Stephen_Dalton]

We only started this year 😊🙏🏻

[@Refcos]

These videos have helped me immensely, even if I don't remember the stories themselves I wake up feeling at peace. Thank you for quilling my sleepless nights.

[@TheRachaelJay]

Thank you Stephen, for all these wonderful stories and your smooth velvety voice that envelopes me as I drift off feeling safe and relaxed. I'm a full time carer to my Son who has Cerebral palsy and my Mum who has Alzheimers..... so sleep has been few and far between the last several years, due to my high anxiety induced insomnia (which I'm on meds for but don't seem to work when i sleep lately) Your stories have been a godsend this last month (when I discovered you) after trying other similar channels and them not working for me. Thank you SO much from me in Liverpool, UK ❤

Life has been rough, and stressful. I stumbled across your videos about 2 months ago, now I can not imagine setting to sleep without them. Thank you for your hard work and effort for what may feel like a small comfort, but I can assure you personally is in fact a huge deal. You have my like, my subscribe, my comment, and my gratitude. Your effort is sincerely honored and appreciated.

[@jaquelinerondel4877]

I’d say I love your stories but your videos make me fall asleep so quickly I’ve never actually finished one lol. Love your work!

Steven’s voice is heaven sent. Sincere thanks. Recording idea… Observing the sunset and then the stars on the East African savanna… animals… landscape… sounds… fire… water.

[@galacticshakti]

so beyond excited for this one 🤍🌙 love the mystical stories !!!

[@blahblahblah2699]

I think this is my favourite one so far because it was the most visual for me, I saw beautiful images and elegant elemental beings wearing garments of the most beautiful colours and other worldly fabrics. I own a lot of crystals which I like to meditate with, so this was a wonderful sleep story as I slipped easily into that magical space 💗 Beautifully written and narrated with absolutely heavenly music, thank you so much.

[@semizzvetick9847]

Thank you ❤ your stories help me to get asleep almost every night. Your voice is very gentle and background music is just right to make me sleepy. I like that it continues after the story ends.I've been staying up too late to find out news from my home country Ukraine since the russian aggression in Feb 2022. My sleep was messed up. Thank you for the calming night sessions Steven💙💛🇺🇲🇺🇦

[@theheartfulangel]

Was quite excited to hear this one when I saw it was crystals! I have quite a large collection 😂 Thank you Stephen. How about including a rainbow coloured waterfall in one which brings balance & harmony when standing in it, like a natural shower but with added magic? 🧚🏻‍♂️

[@paulawilder4238]

Just saying thank you. Tour voice helps me sleep .I have loud tinnitus.❤

[@miraclehands9040]

I really enjoy the imaginative stories that are fantasy but not too out there so as to seem totally unrealistic. I do wish that the beautiful visuals would be allowed to remain longer then they usually do. Or maybe just dim them down after awhile instead of making a black screen so soon? They are so inspiring, beautiful and uplifting to look at.
