Drift Off - Bedtime Stories

Welcome friends! I know it's been a very long time since I last posted an episode but I am very happy to be back now! Tonight's bedtime story is called Marianna by Henry Beston and I hope that you enjoy it! There will be soft restful sleep music playing in the background to help you fall deeper into a sound sleep. The soft music will continue to play for a little while as the story comes to an end and then it too will gently fade away.And so, lights out, lie back and let's get sleepy together!
Sweet dreamzzz...

Welcome to this very special relaxation bedtime story. Tonight we start with a short guided body relaxation to help you release stress and tension (NOTE: You can skip over the guided relaxation if that's not your thing by navigating the chapters in the episode show notes). Then we will journey together into the world of imagination as I narrate an old Japanese Tale called the Moon Maiden. This is a modified version that includes a mish mash of a variety of versions I found online as well as my own little creative version that I also added to it! I really do hope you like it! There will be soft restful sleep music playing in the background to help you fall deeper into a sound sleep. The soft music will continue to play for a little while as the story comes to an end and then it too will gently fade away.And so, lights out, lie back and let's get sleepy together!
Sweet dreamzzz...

Tonight’s bedtime story is a gentle reading of a beautiful Vietnamese tale called The Crystal Heart which is included in the “Gifts of Story” series of storytelling by Aaron Shepard. This lovely legend is about a mandarin’s daughter who discovers that appearances can deceive but the heart speaks true. Instead of background music, this story has soothing background rain sounds to help enhance the feeling of relaxation and peace as you listen. All you have to do is settle in under the covers and snuggle up tight...and then let’s get sleepy together...sweet dreams and good night...

Hello friends! Tonight's bedtime story is called The Queen of Lantern Land by Henry Beston and I hope that you enjoy it! There will be soft restful sleep music playing in the background to help you fall deeper into a sound sleep.
