4:31 to start with the story. As a lover of the sea, I have wanted to do a deep dive into the magical world beneath the surface of the ocean for a long time. I so often long for the saltwater air in times when I am unable to make it to the beach. My gift to you (and myself) is this week's sleep story and meditation. As I am writing lately, I've realized it's so much more fun to venture towards fantasy and plot twists that are enabled when I let my imagination take over. And since I am here to guide you across the bridge from your waking to your sleeping life, it makes all the sense that these stories take on a dreamlike quality!
Gosh, and now it all makes even more sense. The sea is a spiritual place for me and in my garden, I picture the sea as if I could just see it on the horizon in my imagination. I breathe deeply in my garden imagining the sea breeze on my skin and the aroma of the sea air. It is so very many years now that I have been near the sea that Is draw it to my mind so easily but it hurts so much. One day I will be back there. I also love space. Sea and space, both signify otherworldliness to me. The elusive beautiful blue whale is my favourite creature in the whole world. 🙏

Dear Michelle, I have been looking for you for a year now. Since I downloaded Wysa, I have been thinking to myself: "I wonder who is that angel behind those hypnotizing meditations". It's you. Glad I found your channel. Wherever you are, I hope you are safe and sound. You are changing lives, I swear. Thanks! 💐🌻❤⚘
I'm so sorry I never saw this comment until now! I hope that you are still tuning in and that you are finding sleep with my stories and meditations. If you ever have a request, please let me know! 💜
I have started a journey to get rid of my melancholy once and for all..good food, stop procrastinating, set bedtimes. I found this and thank you from the bottom of my heart, it helped me take a first step tonight. No more late night tv, just your channel for clarity and rest😍appreciate you so much!!!💙💙💙
Congratulations! I too, have very much taken this time to work on best habits for sleep and health and mental wellness! I hope you continue to find videos here that help on your journey. Sweet dreams! 💜
You have the perfect voice for this. And your stories are always so perfect. The perfect balance of storytelling, and letting us infuse our own imagination into the tale.
O agree, it is I do lassies. Love you Michelle. Thank you. These sea story's take .e home to the little port town where I grew up. Thanks or taking me home every night. Love you, honey.
Hi My name is Michelle as well and I have a hard time getting to sleep when it's dark, so I want to thank you for your calm stories. Just a word to say I appreciate you.
Can this day get ANY better? Michelle, under the water is just what I need, I love the ocean! My baby boy, Julian who is now 6 months, even has a ocean themed nursery! Thank you for accompanying me to a lovely dream about the pretty fishies
Oh, that is so lovely. Does he have a mobile? When writing the script for this and writing about the jellyfish dancing like an illuminated baby mobile, I realized I had no idea if I was correctly pronouncing it! Apparently there are regional variations on that term. Hope you enjoy and sweetest of dreams to you, Joyce!
People who are not grown ups listening to this: hehe By the way the small chance of you reading this has happened this is a thank you for taking time to relax and listen to this meditation i hope you have a great day and remember you are loved
I just imagine your voice taking me to an exotic south sea island. Diving into a clear blue ocean, myriad varieties of fish weaving continuously around the deck of a sunken pirate ship. What would we do without imagination...
Tbh I voted for the spa one, but this is now my favorite of yours! So beautiful and perfect! Thank you so much for what you do. I can hear the care you put into all your videos. Please never stop ❤️
Lindsay Gibson Unsure how to do this. How do we swap email addresses without being a public comment? I’m here all night, if you want to send yours at a specific time, I’ll quickly note it then delete comment immediately, Please get back to me.
Michelle, your descriptive vocabulary for rendering colours and hues is incomparable. The pacing of this one was perfect as usual. I really enjoy your descriptive intros telling us exactly what is going to happen and giving us permission to drift to sleep whenever we want. This makes the whole experience more relaxing and calm, as knowing what's planned reduces anxiety and increases relaxation. And I absolutely loved the sound effects at 10:55 - it felt like I was getting a massage in a part of my brain I didn't know existed! Thank you for this wonderful creation and please keep up the good work!
Thank you, for being so descriptive and kind with your words. It certainly helps guide me as I create. Those sound effects were really soothing to me as I was editing (although that doesn't always make it easy to stay awake during the process!).
Dear Michelle; as you might know, I have been a big fan for a while, so I hope you won’t mind a suggestion ... the loop of bubbling at the end of this meditation always wakes me. It’s too short, or abrupt, or... ? Other than that, this is my favorite. Many thanks, again, for sharing your wonderful work. ❤️
Thank you so much Michelle, this was truly magical. I was a dolphin communicating with the beautiful whale. Your voice is a Godsend when my anxiety and panic turn up. Tonight l think I'll be a mermaid, thank you so much for the difference you make. 💕🐳
Thank you, Linda-- and you are so amazing for really taking the freedom you can in this one. It's so fun. Whenever asked what animal I would want to be, I often reply a dolphin. They are so social, and fun, and kind. Sweet dreams to you!
Is it bed time yet??!! 🤩🤩💖.... I listened to the mermaid one last night for the first time and it was magical. Thank you thank you thank you 😁...... coming from an adult who was afraid to sleep in the dark alone. But with these on. I don't think about it.
That is amazing! I empathize... after a traumatic event that occurred in my life last year, I was having a hard time sleeping alone in the dark. Luckily, I also have a fierce chihuahua as protector. I am glad I can offer some immersion into something safe and hopefully enchanting. Sweet dreams!
I'm sorry to hear that, you sound like you are doing better now - I hope 💜 but I guess our traumas allow us to grow, so for that I try to be grateful. From your videos I know you have been through the journey of self-love and discovery, its obvious that you have an amazing depth of emotional experience and intuition to draw from. Aww, I also have a furry friend, but of the feline family that's sleeps with me. Anyway thanks again Michelle, you have a big fan in Ireland 👌👏🇮🇪💚
@@MichellesSanctuary since day one !!!.. I suffered an injury at work that causes severe tinitus,,, your channel helps me so much !! I cant thank you enough 🙏!!
It's such a liberating thing to do-- I dreamt as I child I could swim and do flips underwater without getting water up my nose. It made me brave enough to try and sure enough I could. Wish we could breathe underwater beyond the imagination!
Thank you Michelle, found your channel last night. I love your voice, so relaxing, it made me feel so calm, I fell asleep listening to you, and how you describe everything around you as if I was there. I'll be back tonight to try again. Brilliant work Thank You again. X
Im afraid of the deep sea and dont even like watching pictures of it. But I like this video. Its just how calm this voice is. Like nothing in the world can change it. And now good night ;)
I will try them but I will listen to this a few more times - its a good speed, I listend to a lot of slooow storys before :D - btw the waves as backgroundnoises is awesome - calming and not to loud ;) thank you so much for this beautifull work c:
It must be wonderful, Michelle, to hear your own voice in your own mind. You have such a beautiful voice. I have to listen to my voice inside of my own mind, and I do not have a beautiful voice. (I know, sounds like a strange thought on my part, but it is the middle of the night, and I am only half awake.)
I think this is such a lovely sentiment-- thank you. I hope that you find many nights of more sleep to come. It takes time... I remember as a child I would sing and the voice to come out of my mouth very often didn't match what I heard in my mind. So I worked on it. Sweet dreams to you! 💜
Hellllooo🥲 the best part of the video is your voice in my living room again on Saturday morning❣️ That you're coming back tomorrow , I feel like holding my breath😊 Buying new shelves? But of course that's understood. I have always loved how you talk about doing things and then actually do them! Creative things, artistic things.. new things! Well I can't really convey the feeling but it is not dissimilar to warm and fuzzy💗Much love from san jose, california.😸💋💋🌠🌕🙏🍀🌱🌄
Once again I didn't hear the story for the 3rd time haha, I fall asleep so quickly, ur videos are great but maybe I should listen to them in the daytime so I can actually hear the full story haha lol
How the hell am I supposed to sleep when there's a sweet women with a soft, gorgeous voice lying next to me saying such sweet things to me?!?! Sleep?!? Yeah right. I'm about to propose!!
@@Lunar612 In this case, Elizabeth, you may indeed be correct. Lol. Now that I re-read that comment months later, there are some slight simp connotations to it. However. A normal, mature, well-adjusted human being could also just call it BEING NICE AND MAKING A JOKE. But you'd need to possess all the aforementioned qualities to understand that. I'll except either description of my comment.
"A Steely Dan Bedtime Story" Once upon a time, there was a king, named Richard, who ruled Mizar. He fell madly in love with his darling, Rose. After a short engagement, they were married by a Deacon in a blue suit. They honeymooned near the caves of Altamira and did it again quite frequently without a fez. Night by night, it was a countdown to ecstasy. Soon, they were home at last, and in the months and years to follow, would have a castle full of show biz kids. Their first kid, a boy, was named Charlemagne. Later, daughters, Josie and Peg, would beautify the castle with their French twists. Rikki, their youngest, was a mathematics prodigy who never lost track of her numbers. The parents were strict with their daughters, but the girls didn't seem to care. The family would vacation by carriage to the sea and when the children got too loud, King Richard would say, "keep it down, just until we get out of town." During their holiday, the family would sit under a banyan tree and watch the sun go down on the crimson tide. They let the children play up on the hill near the black cows. The king, however, had a mistress at this seaside Eldorado resort. When confronted by Rose, Katy lied and said there was nothing to it. Katy was only nineteen at the time. Rose knew the fix was in. Later, Rose told King Richard that she knew of the affair and was planning on a trip to Haiti for a divorce. She said, "I can't cry anymore while you run around." Upon hearing this news, King Richard summoned his therapist, Dr. Wu. After a lengthy discussion about the king's infidelity, Dr. Wu responded, "the things you think are useless I can't understand." Rose, still reelin' from this news demanded, "I want to know everything you did." King Richard confessed to an affair with Katy's sister, Pearl. He defended himself by saying, "it was just a fling with a couple of skinny girls." King Richard hastily had his family return to Castle Bravo, coincidentally, at the changing of the guard. He met with his generals to discuss the expansion of his kingdom to new frontiers. He told them he wanted to be king of the world. Rose, however, took a gift from the king, a pair of green earrings, and threw them in the moat. She realized that she had been royally scammed. King Richard went to Rose's bedroom and told her it would never happen again, but she replied, "after what you've done, only a fool would say that." She gave him the goodbye look before she lit the candle and put a lock upon the door. King Richard, in a rage, threatened harm to their children by drowning them in the moat when he said, "I'll throw back the little ones." At that very moment, there was fire in the hole as the castle came under ambush by battle apples! King Richard became suicidal and thought about taking his life with a gun. His last words were, "Don't Take Me Alive!" The day after the king's demise, Rose had lunch with Gina, her best friend. They drank kirschwasser from a shell. Gina advised Rose to sell her home and move to a place called the Custerdome. The next day, Rose put a sign in front of the castle that read: Everything Must Go.
Oh no! I heard this happens often to people and am creating water-themed escapes without the sounds! I empathize since I am always getting up to trip over my animals in the dark to get to the bathroom. Definitely counterproductive if the water sounds causes more trips to the loo!
Try as I may to make the sea tranquil, it's hard not to think of sharks! O even worse-- the baby shark song that my toddler niece now has gotten stuck in my head! Sweet dreams! 💜

"A Steely Dan Bedtime Story"
Once upon a time, there was a king, named Richard, who ruled Mizar. He fell madly in love with his darling, Rose. After a short engagement, they were married by a Deacon in a blue suit. They honeymooned near the caves of Altamira and did it again quite frequently without a fez. Night by night, it was a countdown to ecstasy. Soon, they were home at last, and in the months and years to follow, would have a castle full of show biz kids. Their first kid, a boy, was named Charlemagne. Later, daughters, Josie and Peg, would beautify the castle with their French twists. Rikki, their youngest, was a mathematics prodigy who never lost track of her numbers. The parents were strict with their daughters, but the girls didn't seem to care. The family would vacation by carriage to the sea and when the children got too loud, King Richard would say, "keep it down, just until we get out of town." During their holiday, the family would sit under a banyan tree and watch the sun go down on the crimson tide. They let the children play up on the hill near the black cows. The king, however, had a mistress at this seaside Eldorado resort. When confronted by Rose, Katy lied and said there was nothing to it. Katy was only nineteen at the time. Rose knew the fix was in. Later, Rose told King Richard that she knew of the affair and was planning on a trip to Haiti for a divorce. She said, "I can't cry anymore while you run around." Upon hearing this news, King Richard summoned his therapist, Dr. Wu. After a lengthy discussion about the king's infidelity, Dr. Wu responded, "the things you think are useless I can't understand." Rose, still reelin' from this news demanded, "I want to know everything you did." King Richard confessed to an affair with Katy's sister, Pearl. He defended himself by saying, "it was just a fling with a couple of skinny girls." King Richard hastily had his family return to Castle Bravo, coincidentally, at the changing of the guard. He met with his generals to discuss the expansion of his kingdom to new frontiers. He told them he wanted to be king of the world. Rose, however, took a gift from the king, a pair of green earrings, and threw them in the moat. She realized that she had been royally scammed. King Richard went to Rose's bedroom and told her it would never happen again, but she replied, "after what you've done, only a fool would say that." She gave him the goodbye look before she lit the candle and put a lock upon the door. King Richard, in a rage, threatened harm to their children by drowning them in the moat when he said, "I'll throw back the little ones." At that very moment, there was fire in the hole as the castle came under ambush by battle apples! King Richard became suicidal and thought about taking his life with a gun. His last words were, "Don't Take Me Alive!" The day after the king's demise, Rose had lunch with Gina, her best friend. They drank kirschwasser from a shell. Gina advised Rose to sell her home and move to a place called the Custerdome. The next day, Rose put a sign in front of the castle that read: Everything Must Go.
Now I have every Steely Dan song ever stuck in my head at once 🤣
You forgot the part where she gathers up his tears
Did anyone else wake up towards the end and need to pee due to the water sounds 😂
Oh no! I heard this happens often to people and am creating water-themed escapes without the sounds! I empathize since I am always getting up to trip over my animals in the dark to get to the bathroom. Definitely counterproductive if the water sounds causes more trips to the loo!
Love
Seas title (you see what I did there😅)
“For grown ups”
Me: 15...😬 still watching to calm my mind
I am thinking of sharks for no reason 😆
Try as I may to make the sea tranquil, it's hard not to think of sharks! O even worse-- the baby shark song that my toddler niece now has gotten stuck in my head! Sweet dreams! 💜
I woke with my phone on the floor the waves sound drugged me
Hopefully your phone survived the adventure! 💜

I vividly imagined a stingray
It's only around 30 minutes long the second half is just water noise

I wonder...what an interesting experience you are having...
I busted to this.
Let me guess; You picked this theme just for the "halibut"...😂
Read this three times and it still makes me laugh! Thank you!
@@MichellesSanctuary You're very welcome, my dear. My pleasure...🙂
Too much talk in the beginning. Gets boring sorry
Why did everyone talk like a dang news castor or a robot… I personally would like to hear some personality in peoples voices…. That’s just me
Everyone has a different preference-- I create for what works best with my listeners and always open to feedback. Thank you!

I really don't want to hear running water when trying to sleep.
Understood-- I have many without water. Just not the ocean-themed ones.
She sounds hot 😂

So good!! I never get to the end of this
Amazing! Sweetest of dreams to you! 💜
Same. I’ve gotten as far as people in an old time ship or something. I think.
