Some of the first meditations and sleep stories I wrote were inspired by cabins in the forest. Per request, this week's forest cabin story is set in Canada. My gratitude overflows for every one who has listened, commented, written, shared, and helped this sanctuary grow. May we all continue to dream away!

This couldn’t have come at a better time. I lost my grandmother who lived with me today, so sleeping has been feeling impossible. I can’t wait. Thank you!!!
Sending you so much love-- I'm so sorry for your loss. The bond with a grandparent is so special and how lucky you both were to have that time together. My grandmother is responsible for so many of the things I've become and I hope you are able to remember the best of her and that her best influences carry through. 💜
I am a hiker, and I have been so lucky to have some wonderful trails near me in Michigan. This narrative is so perfect! I have often wished that I had a cabin located in a forest like this, and my dream has (almost!) come true here. Thank you, Michelle!
I love this-- I often wish for this as well. The only reason I've yet to buy a cabin or cottage is I can't decide where to settle. So I turned to these stories in the meantime.
Ah Canada. One of the most spiritual experiences of my life on Vargas Island, Jasper Icefields and the Rockies. This is going to be spiritual for me. Thank you Michelle. 🙏💙
Trying to talk my husband into a cabin getaway for next Christmas in or around the Smokies. It’s a bucket list thing for me. The cabin stories make me want it more. So soothing!
Brilliant - thank you!! ❤️🙏❤️ There's something so healing being amongst so many trees isn't there? I find the energy in forests absolutely beautiful. ❤️🌳🌲❤️
There really is! I feel the fragrance of the forest and deep breaths I take when exploring them always resets and grounds me. I hope this story does the same!
@@MichellesSanctuary Aww same!! I often like to take a warm blanket out under the trees (when the Scottish weather allows 😅). Just being able to reconnect to nature in such a direct way is a beautiful thing. 🥰❤️💕 P.s. I send you a little something on Facebook. You'll know me by the weird name 🤭😅❤️
I always look forward to Sundays because you're dropping another meditation. My favorites are the long ones the three or four hour ones. I listen to them over and over and over all week. I was wondering if you can do a meditation story about going on a cruise. I've never been on a cruise and I had a stroke so there's just no way I would be able to handle the movement of the boat but I would love to have a meditation story about a cruise. Thanks for everything you do
You are the best Meditation/Sleep specialist on UA-cam. You seem to have a good knowledge of psychology without getting locked in to a therapeutic style. Well done. Your work enriches my life. Thank you.
Truly a beautiful story teller and really calming voice am truck driver traveling and your voice helps to relax your awesome thanks for your wonderful stories on my sound system it's awesome
I wonder if I'll ever hear this story... Twice last night I tried & didn't even make it to the cabin! Thanks so much Michelle, your voice lulls me to sleep so easily now. Bless you xXx
Thank you for bringing me home to Canada this week. It's hard to remember the beauty in my own back yard when you live in the middle of the city. This was a pleasure to listen to. I'm hoping to hear other stories about more Canadian beauty some day.
Michelle, you have the absolute BEST cabin stories/meditations!! I am so looking forward to this! Seeing this a makes my day!! Thank you again for being such an amazing outlet for overcoming my anxiety before i go to sleep. I appreciate you so much!!! My nights used to be overwhelmed with thoughts that were ugly and harmful to me. Now I can go to your channel and find a story/meditation to focus on and it gives me such a relaxing night of sleep. You are amazing, keep on keeping on! I appreciate you
I'm so glad you're part of this community and always of the first to show enthusiasm! I feel a walk in the forest and imagining a cabin always soothe me. My hope is this story helps everyone to disconnect from modern stresses and reconnect with nature and our authentic selves!
Has anyone ever told you that you kind of look like the guitarist from warpaint? Check them out. A band of four awesome ladies. P.s. wow your eye make up is on point. 👌 maybe a makeup tutorial one day hah. I'm seriously impressed I can't do it that sharp for the life of me.
Well now I am going to have to check it out! And thank you. I can sometimes be the laziest with my makeup and every time question how it's going to turn out when I'm rushing!
@@MichellesSanctuary I've always thought you do a fantastic job. With both hair and make up, too, you really know how to bring out your best. Sometimes a little something is all you need. My one friend's mom actually had her shadow and liner tattooed on to save her time, that's always an option 😛 More on topic, thanks for always being so vigorous in updating this channel. I showed it to my mom years ago along with some other channels, and she always loved your sleep stories in particular. Thank you so much for helping her get some of the rest and relaxation she so desperately needs in this chaotic world ❤❤❤
Many places I've written about are places that I have visited. This is someplace I haven't been but it was requested by a listener who emailed me early this year and described what he would like to experience.
Peaceful and nice visuals. A bit of cultural interest though, they are not 'aborigines'. They are aboriginal or indigenous or First Nations. Aborigines are Australian indigenous people. Otherwise enjoyable. Thank you.
You’re absolutely right. Thanks for noting this. I have such a short turnaround time that I occasionally miss things. Sorry if this interrupted your experience.
I have different memories about camping back when I was a Boy Scout. One was moss grows on the north side of trees which I later learned was wrong. The stuff grows where it wants. I loved breakfast of cooking pork roll on a fire. What leaves you can use as toilet paper and if you get lost to stay put. Also mark trees with an x so you can find your way back. None of these things helped when after a romantic ending a friend of mine took me to a large park for a walk about. He was a good navigator at least through the streets of Manhattan but once into the woods of hacklberry state park we were lost. Obviously we found our way out probably because I kept telling him if we can’t get out of here I’m going to murder you and use you as food. We also met a native who told us how to find the parking lot. So I trusted your narrative in the second party to prevent me from being hopelessly lost in the jungles of Canada between the labs and newfies. I’ll revisit it this afternoon I need a nap only got three hours of sleep.
3 hours? I certainly hope you got that nap. I feel I've been lost on highways but not entirely in the woods. Having a dog always helps with direction. I'm pretty sure even at his senior age this dog of mine is a great navigator.
None of my dogs could read maps or had navigation software. They marked terrain but if I said “Lassie” take me home they’d promptly chase a bird or dig a hole but no go home. I imagine you wouldn’t get too worked up getting lost anyway. I get lost often frankly I don’t know where I am right now. Oh, the kitchen got it. Yes I did nap, I think in the kitchen actually. 😊

Thank you, Dale. This means a lot... I've tried to cultivate this in a new way and hope you continue to find comfort and bliss in this sanctuary! 💜

@@MichellesSanctuary Are your stories based on places you have visited before?

I know exactly how we can sometimes forget how beautiful our own backyards are! I will definitely revisit Canada in another story this year~!
I am ready
🌙 Sweet dreams!
I am a fan of sleep stories and really like the stories your channel brings.
Glad to hear it! 💖
