I really hope they stick with the lengthy ambient stuff after the story! It keeps me asleep. Plenty of times I've been struck with the "Oh no the video is almost over and i'm not yet sleepy" anxiety that then proceeds to keep you awake

I love how when the sleep story is over, you left a long duration of ambient sound. It made me feel like I was still immersed in the experience you crafted with your sleep story as I finished listening and drifted off to sleep.

Thank you for all the sleep stories!

Enjoy! :))

Love that this is perfectly timed for imbolc!

Love the extended ambience after the story. Now I won’t be woken up by a loud commercial.🥰

Beautiful and I love Chris’ reading voice 💚

So glad to hear your voice...love your stories..so relaxing...many thanks

Really beautifully done! Thank you so much ❤

😁 I got so distracted with my new otome game I almost forgot to say I really enjoyed being a tree 🌳 in this week's relaxation 😌 I love them all but I do have my favorites 🥰🥰🥰 Perhaps it is true they all have their own spirit as we continue the tradition of knocking on wood 🪵 😉

Good night, Chris and team. What an interesting theme for a myth. I'm looking forward to this beautiful topic. It likely has much relevance to how we appreciate and connect to yhe world around us now too. Perfect for peaceful dreams 🙏

Yay! A new Chris story!

Great story. Absolutely loved it. Reminded me of a book i read recently called Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies. I usually listen to the stories on 1.25 speed (I cannot stand the slow speaking, it gives me anxiety), but in this video when i played it at 1.25 it made the rain sound awful. Like static on an old TV. I dont expect you to fix that problem though, thats a me issue.

Thank you for another beautiful sleep story! They always are a wonderful part of my bedtime routine. I have a small suggestion regarding the music at the end, though. The long music outro seems to wake me up rather than help me sleep. Perhaps a shorter outro or a gentler fade-out could enhance the overall experience. Thanks for considering and keep up the great work! 🤗

Sigh I love your voice, love your accent. Thank you for making these🫶🏻

Thank you!!!!

Absolutely. Love the stories that you and the crew give us. I see that you have an app for Apple, but not Android. Do you have plans for one in the future?

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 😴🌙❤😊✨💖💤💓🌟😍

Aww thank you. Beautifully said. Right back at you 😊

O goodness, this story is like a lovely fusion of forest mythology and the old 90s/00s animated film Fern Gully. The description and soothing voice was perfect tonight. Thank you again. Was this inspired by Fern Gully perhaps? Whats coming up next? More myths? Maybe you'll have some traditional Easter stories this year 🙏🤞

@SoothingPod the second part of the prince of Egypt Moses story you started ages ago? Or the story of Easter? 😊

i’m seeing this problem on a lot of sleep story channels right now, where the channel is being forced into an awkward position of people commenting for opposite things: if the video is long, lots of comments say to please remove the ambient sounds, but if the video is short, lots of comments complain about adverts waking them as they don’t have premium… i honestly don’t know the solution here 😅😅 i’m seeing it on every single channel though and i feel bad for you guys having to deal with so many disgruntled replies 😅😅 keep up the brilliant work, it’s amazing :)

I was kinda disappointed Emily chose to return to the human world instead of staying in the fairy realm when she chose to leave. My mind went through everything that could have happened if she stayed

Thank you. Beautiful! Well worth waiting for. I enjoyed becoming a tree. One cannot carbon date a carving. It seems you missed the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundestrup_cauldron. Roman sailors honored him, too, as a protector.

It would be embarrassing if someone mentioned the carbon dating not being realistic when it's a literal fantasy story about a woman who falls through a fairy ring and meets a mythical being... People are absurd.

In the 1990's, Writer's Digest put out a book of rules for how to write a good fiction story. One of those rules was that the writer is only allowed one non realistic item per story. Since fairies and Cernunnos were historical deities, which some still believe in and work with today, they don't count. Nor does the travel sequence, now called hedge jumping, which is still some today. Thus, the carbon dating of stone carvings is the only item in this story which is fantasy. I concede. You are correct

PLEASE also continue posting without the "calming background ambience"! Yours is one of the few channels that hadn't caved to this new format. There are a lot of us who pay for KZread premium, so don't need to worry about ads, and don't sleep well with the added music at the end (I play your videos in a playlist, back to back all night. The break in speech wakes me every time.). Thank you for covering Cernunnos! The Dagda would be another incredible deity to do a story on. 💚💜💚

I’m sorry, but I dislike having the video be so long. I make a playlist of a story and then 10 hours of rain sounds. Music keeps me awake.

I listened to it this time instead of just going off comments. This rain is so quiet it sounds like white noise, which doesn't work for me. (I need to drown out a snoring husband.) I'd still prefer to put my own sounds after the story. Thanks for replying though!@@SoothingPod
