Hi,
My name is Michelle from Michelle's Sanctuary,
And I am a creator of meditative stories for sleep,
Or bedtime stories for grownups.
Because you know what?
Adults deserve bedtime stories too.
If you're somebody who struggles with falling asleep or staying asleep,
Sometimes a traditional meditation may not be what you need.
I was an insomniac for many years,
And if someone told me to relax in that moment,
All I would do is feel pressure about how I was unable to relax.
But if I was presented with a visualization or something that was just truly captivating.
All of a sudden I found that my nervous system would stand down and I would fall asleep without even realizing I was falling asleep until I woke up the next morning and couldn't really recall the story from the night before.
A meditative sleep story gives you the chance to use your imagination for conjuring beautiful imagery instead of using it for worry.
When you listen to one of my stories,
You're able to harness all of that imaginative energy that you were using for worry and instead conjure realistic escapes and fantasies.
Escapes that kind of blend into your dream world.
These stories allow you to step out of the routine of your daily life.
And enjoy a mental holiday.
In the sanctuary of your room and mind,
You are able to envision a new reality.
So if you're struggling with sleep,
I hope that a meditative story for sleep helps you find your way as you dream awake.
