I grew up going to the Carolina shores in August, when the ocean is like bathwater and the days are still long. I hope everyone is finding peace and sleep. At this time, I have taken great efforts to focus on self-care and be there for others. We will get through this and so grateful am I to have my pup and cat to keep me company in my solitude as I create for all of you.

Michelle I know you have never claimed your videos are to treat psychosis, and still do not, but my psychiatrist has been using your meditations as a way for me to fall asleep. I take medications for schizophrenia and will continue to do so, I can not function without them, but I just wanted to let you know you help a great deal.

Garry- it makes me so happy to hear this and to know that my work is being shared in this way. Sleep is such a wonderful aid to mental health and if I am able to help in any way, it is truly an honour. Thank you for sharing with me and I wish you many nights of sleep and sweet dreams to come! 💜
I listened to this 4 years ago and I'm listening tonight again. I love it and it helps so much on nights/early morning's like Im experiencing rn. Thank you and Blessings to you always.
I had that for some time, but now I just think my body and mind have surrendered to it all. Especially being in New York, where it truly is out of my hands! But I feel everyone I know right now can't sleep. Hope that you are finding some peace amid the world being flipped upside down!
Some of my best childhood memories are of the Outer Banks. I can hardly make it 10 minutes into this without passing out, no matter how awake I feel. Thank you! 🖤
I love this story so thank you so much Michelle I didn't ever think i would be so happy to hear this sort of meditation but I am so grateful that I found your story ❤
This is so peaceful and my dad can never fall asleep and your video got him to fall asleep!!!!! Thank you so much for your videos and I hope you never stop making them.😁
Oh, It was SO nice to find a warm summery sleep meditation! I put myself on 'my' beach in Mexico where I had lived for the last 10 years. Lovely, thank you!
@@MichellesSanctuary Thank you. I have many friends who send me pictures of the sunrises and sunsets from my beach, and I'm looking forward to a short visit around Christmas. May your holidays be full of happiness 😊
You are a wonderful person. May I pray for your best interest? You deserve a plethora of praising and love. Thank you for being a blessing to the world.
Just came to say hello. My part of the world I'm just starting the day. So i will save for tonight! 👍. I'd also like to take this time to thank you for your obvious tremendous effort towards your channel.💪At a Time when many have just slowed things down because our world troubles. And to say take care of yourself and stay safe.👍 To you and all your subscribers. 💚😊
Thank you! I have more time, yet it's harder to focus and I hope to be more productive in creating more in the coming months~ and I do hope everyone is staying safe and taking care of themselves, mentally, physically, and spiritually!
Thank you so much Michelle!💙 🙏💙 Just perfect! The sound of the waves, the beautiful images, the superb relaxing story with so much details... And your beautiful soft voice makes it a really comforting and relaxing video. Sending you love and wishing you health and happiness. Thank you beautiful soul 😘🏝💚🌞🌊🌈🌺💙
Your use of emojis is like a beacon of sunshine on the grayest of days! Thank you, Kaji and I wish you health and happiness as well and hope you are sleeping well these days!
Before you drift into the world of dreams, take a moment to appreciate the day you've had and the challenges you've conquered. May the night bring you tranquility and the gentle embrace of sleep. And when you awaken to the morning light, may it infuse you with newfound energy and optimism. Goodnight, my wonderful friends. Sleep peacefully and awaken to a brand new day filled with opportunities. 💤😴💤😴💤
I think that this may be my favourite so far 😊 Thank you so much for providing people like myself with peace and a good nights sleep, always, but even more so in these troubling times xxx
I know you did one in new York. Would love a more in depth video just in central park!!! Your videos are amazing. Cant go a night without them. Helped me fall asleep since November!!! Thank you!
As a young lad my family visited the Outer Banks several times a year. We’d rent a cottage at Nags Head, Hatteras or Ocracoke Island. It would be on stilts, as most are there. The wind would kick up and rock the whole cottage like a cradle at night. I remember the smell of Coppertone and the soft, warm sand underfoot while watching the sun set over the sound. Such sweet memories of a life well lived.
Hi ive always wondered how come this is for adults I listen to these and they help alot to me (17) and it's not inappropriate so I've always been curious since I started listening in when I was 15.
It was so relaxing and full of joy Mam. I listen your sleep stories for meditation at morning. I just love your stories and story telling so much ❤❤❤❤. It would be more enjoyable if there is sounds for Details. 🤗
I'm sorry Michelle I've never been able to listen to the hole story, I'm always asleep before the end... 😉 this one is definitly my favorite one! Thank you so much again!! 😘❤🌺🌸🌊❤
My aunt used to have a cottage next to a lake but we always called it seaside cottage my favorite memory of being there was throwing a giraffe toy for her pet Pomeranian his name was Toby but sadly this year Toby passed away he was 13 years old Miss you lots buddy Ps this story is very nice Ps again when someone stepped on the giraffe toy the squeaker sounded like it was dying
Aww- 13 years is a nice long life for a pup. My chihuahua just turned 10 and I get him to a beach as often as I can. He doesn't have stuffed toys because he just eats them! But he has a baby's sock that accidentally came home from the laundry one day that he loves more than anything.
Haha, well as long as it helps you relax- squirm away. I sometimes envy my pup and his nesting routine of spinning in circles until he feels everything is perfect for rest. 💜
I like to think of a sleep story like a dream. You can do anything you want-- but if you aren't interested, then the beauty of this is you can customize it. I recommend always customizing details as you listen. This is your story to mold in your imagination.
Too slow for me. I'd rather hear a well read normal speed good story. I get caught up in it... This is frustrating. For others it may be perfect. Hope so.

What a beautiful memory-- there are times it's all I can do to not just pick up and move to the Outerbanks. The warm Atlantic waters of August are my tonic, for sure. Sweet dreams to you and thank you for sharing this, Karl! 💜

I love that you came back to this one-- it's a place I hope to one day call home (same as I had wished when I wrote it years ago).
this is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard ❤
Looking forward to this Michelle! Thanks for uploading! Much needed! Lots of sleepless nights lately...
I had that for some time, but now I just think my body and mind have surrendered to it all. Especially being in New York, where it truly is out of my hands! But I feel everyone I know right now can't sleep. Hope that you are finding some peace amid the world being flipped upside down!

DUDE, thats where John B lives 😏

Thank you, Katie! Sweet dreams! I will keep creating so as I can! 💜
How lovely to be so immersed in the beautiful description of the sea and the joyful little pup. Thanks Michelle. x
It's one of my favourite places to go when I want to feel peace and joy. Sweet dreams! 💜
Love this because of the sound of the ocean
Thank you, Linda-- I know different listeners have different reactions, but I do indeed always love the sound of waves crashing. Sweet dreams! 💜
Oh, It was SO nice to find a warm summery sleep meditation! I put myself on 'my' beach in Mexico where I had lived for the last 10 years. Lovely, thank you!
How beautiful-- I'd imagine you must miss it! I hope you continue to remember the best of days and nights on your "beach". 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary Thank you. I have many friends who send me pictures of the sunrises and sunsets from my beach, and I'm looking forward to a short visit around Christmas. May your holidays be full of happiness 😊

New to your channel. I love the intro, it's like a warm up is to exercise
I'm so glad-- just want to make sure everyone is settled in and cozy before we begin. 💜
I already know this is going to be good
I hope you enjoyed it and had amazing sea-inspired dreams! 💜
I know you did one in new York. Would love a more in depth video just in central park!!! Your videos are amazing. Cant go a night without them. Helped me fall asleep since November!!! Thank you!
I have been walking with my dog in a Central Park every night and have been thinking about this! I will do it.
I feel the same. I found her channel a few months ago. And it's been a Godsend as far as helping me to unwind and help with my insomnia. 👍😴
thank you again for your support and wonderful work ❤
Thank you for being here! 💜
Hey Carolina neighbor! Thank you for all the work you do :)
Perhaps at the end of this, I may end up in the Carolinas myself! Those beautiful beaches speak to me like no other places. Stay safe! 💜
Can I like it again? 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
Please do! Sweet dreams, Adriana!
So lovely x x
Thank you, Zef-- may this continue to bring you the sweetest dreams! 💜
So beautiful!😍😭

One of your best sleep stories yet! I really needed an escape right now. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Stephanie! Sweet, sea-inspired dreams to you!
Stephanie, Any relation to Bill or Barb Burdick?
@@terriejohnston8801 no, not that I know of.
So glad others are availing of the serene ambience of a cottage by the sea. Actually really similar to the stories I write! :-)
Well it's a pleasure to be in the same thematic company. The sea always calls to me. 💜
Hi ive always wondered how come this is for adults I listen to these and they help alot to me (17) and it's not inappropriate so I've always been curious since I started listening in when I was 15.
You're completely age appropriate. Anyone over 13! Just making sure listeners know it's not for children. 💜 Hope it keep helping you!
It was so relaxing and full of joy Mam. I listen your sleep stories for meditation at morning. I just love your stories and story telling so much ❤❤❤❤. It would be more enjoyable if there is sounds for Details. 🤗
Hello and goodnight to all you beutiful people
I don't care if you are ugly
But you are always beutiful 😉
This was lovely :)
Great video as usual!👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🦝
Thank you, James! Sweet dreams! 💜
I'm sorry Michelle I've never been able to listen to the hole story, I'm always asleep before the end... 😉 this one is definitly my favorite one! Thank you so much again!! 😘❤🌺🌸🌊❤
Thank you, Kaji! Perhaps one day you will but I am always delighted to hear people fall asleep before the ending! 💜

@@MichellesSanctuary that's funny that he loves a sock ps I love your voice it's so soothing
I was looking for a story......😄
“lay down your body is heavy as lead” *immediately starts squirming like a snake*
Haha, well as long as it helps you relax- squirm away. I sometimes envy my pup and his nesting routine of spinning in circles until he feels everything is perfect for rest. 💜
Yeah nopedity nope. Did not work. At least I tried lol
Snek sneek oohhh its a snek (badger,badger,badger)
Do you have any compilations that I could buy?
I release almost everything (eventually) on Amazon, Apple, and any other music distribution site.
I love you
💜💜💜
Is 11 am too early to go to bed? 😉
Certainly not these days! I think that napping has seen a resurgence this month!
@@MichellesSanctuary lol...I believe you're right! 👍
Since my lay off I've been napping every day lol can't help myself I need an excuse to listen to all these great meditation journeys!
Her voice did my head in sorry.
My voice apologizes. Hope you find something that works better!
❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦
Sweet dreams, Pamela! 💜
I don't really care if I always fall asleep during this story! all I know is the Earth is 100% flat!!!!!
Yah, but most 60 year olds don't body surf.
