THE ELF MAIDEN (retelling) - Sleepy Bedtime Story for Grown Ups w 1.5 HRS of Soft Voice Storytelling

Nod off with this 1.5 HR sleepy long bedtime story for grown ups WITH SLEEP MUSIC in the background. This long sleepy bedtime story is progressively looped and gets slower and quieter for 1.5 hours until you fall asleep. This very sleepy story for adults with soothing voice narration is specifically designed to help slow down your brain waves so that you can fall asleep easily. We all need to experience feelings of comfort, safety and security no matter how old we are. This female spoken adult bedtime story will help nurture your inner child by helping you feel calm, safe and secure. This lovely story for sleep is a "modified" version of the vintage tale of The Elf Maiden by Andrew Lang. The original version is found in the public domain but because I found the original story a little boring with a plot that just fizzled out I decided to modify the story, especially the second half of the tale. Sleepy bedtime stories are a wonderful way to unwind and relax at the end of the day. Long softly spoken stories calm the nervous system thereby helping you drift off to sleep more easily. So, lights out and snuggle under the covers as you enjoy this progressively sleepy bedtime story and embark on a journey with the handsome young man and the lovely Elf maiden who stole his heart.
Sweet dreams!
Joanne ❤

I have anxiety and agoraphobia and wanted to practice walking around town so I went out for a walk at night and had this playing on my headphones to see if it would help me walk further than before and I not only walked further than before. I also found ten dollars on the sidewalk. I'm feeling lucky.

[@amandabourke796]

Congratulations!!! I have very severe anxiety that sometimes presents as agoraphobia..so I can relate a little (for me it's for limited periods , like 2 months or 5 weeks) I really sympathize and I'm so happy for you that you have found some coping mechanisms! I hope things continue to improve for you!! I really also like the Honest Guys on You Tube for guided meditations. Blessed Be

Buddhist quotes - the answer to All my problems!!! I was upset when I had to leave my home but the new one has a new bathroom and kitchen and more than one electrical socket in each room it’s closer to the high street park and countryside so actually it’s a better place to live and I’m content and don’t need to worry about losing my home!!!

I love your voice. I was too invested in the drama of this story and a little mad at this man. He spent all this time coming back for his love. When she wasn't there, then he realized he loved the elf. She was there the whole time. I love your story telling though.
