The Summer Day Library

Author: Laurel Hostak Jones, Bleav July 19, 2023 Duration: 1:06:33
Find refuge from the summer heat in a magical library, where you can dive into the books themselves, in this fantasy bedtime story.   In this magical sleep story, you take a visit to a sunflower farm. Seeking escape from the afternoon heat, you retreat to a shady grove of trees. Soon, you discover an entrance to an otherworldly library, where the books have the power to transport you to their story worlds. You while away the afternoon by exploring the Hundred Acre Wood, the farm at Green Gables, and Neverland.    - ✨Pre-order is live for the Sleep & Sorcery book!✨ https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/sleepandsorcery Sleep & Sorcery: A Collection of Enchanting Bedtime Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Meaningful Rest, coming August 2024 from Crossed Crow Books.

Imagine a gentle voice guiding you away from the day's clutter, into realms woven from ancient myths and whispered legends. Sleep and Sorcery is that voice, a unique audio experience crafted by Laurel Hostak Jones to ease the mind and invite rest. Each episode is a carefully blended tapestry, intertwining the narrative pull of a bedtime story with the calming cadence of guided meditation, all set within a fully realized fantasy adventure. You might find yourself nestled in a cozy cottage in the mythical village of Slumbershire one night, and the next, wandering the fairy tale forests of Bohemia or witnessing a quiet moment in King Arthur's court. The journey is designed not to excite, but to soothe, allowing the imagination a peaceful place to linger as wakefulness fades. This podcast understands that true relaxation often needs a doorway, and it offers countless ones, each leading to a world soft enough to fall asleep in. It’s for anyone whose thoughts race at night, or who simply misses the comfort of a story told just for them. Within these tales, the goal is never to stay alert until the end, but to drift off naturally, carried by the rhythm of the words into a deep and comfortable sleep.
