Little House in the Big Woods (Chapter 1)
00:33:28
Content Warning: Story contains imagery of animals being killed, not for cruelty but for basic human survival during pioneer times.
Welcome to this cozy fireside bedtime story with soothing soft voice to doze off to sleep. This is chapter 1 of the beautiful book 'Little House in the Big Woods'. This book is what started the treasured "Little House Series including 'Little House on the Prairie' by Laura Ingalls Wilder ❤This was a request story and I hope you enjoy it. If you want more chapters then please let me know? I used to love this series and it is such a joy reading it! So light's out and sweet dreamzzz... Joanne ❤
P.S. I personally was torn about sharing the story because I knew it wasn’t vegan friendly Please don’t misunderstand, I love animals too! Yet, after some reflection, I decided to proceed to share this story because I was able to accept that the killing of animals wasn’t for cruelty but for survival during pioneer times. Similar to many other cultures that needed to survive in the 1800’s and beyond. It was a different life from what we live now and I still feel it is important to learn about the hardships humans had to overcome in order to survive Also, these stories bring comfort to many listeners who grew up reading and watching these series. My dear friends...please 'do not' listen if you are sensitive to imagery involving the killing of animals. It is never my intention to cause you any harm! Sending love to you all!

Sleep Hypnosis for Deep Sleep (Bonus Content)
00:05:19
[CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes elements of hypnosis and guided relaxation. PLEASE READ SAFETY DISCLAIMER BELOW]
This is a preview bonus episode available only Drift Off Premium. Tonight I am sharing this bonus guided sleep hypnosis and relaxation for you to use at bedtime for better sleep! This hypnosis is designed to help elicit deep relaxation by using an evidence based relaxation technique known as progressive muscle relaxation, followed by hypnotic suggestions for the listener to help attain deep sleep.
Attributions: Sleep Hypnosis Script (written and produced by Joanne D'Amico Certified Hypnotist) Background music: 'Breathe Deeply' by STEMS MELODY Megan Wofford via https://www.epidemicsound.com
Hypnosis is commonly misunderstood and often discounted as a promising treatment for better sleep. I have included some links below of some of the research studies that have been done that provides some evidence of the benefits of hypnosis for better sleep. It is important to mention that many more studies are necessary before sleep hypnosis can be a standardized medically approved treatment for sleep problems.
Progressive muscle relaxation has been extensively researched for many years by the medical community and research studies have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is extremely beneficial and effective for those who suffer from insomnia as well as other conditions like anxiety, depression and general muscle tension. I have included links to a few studies here.

I must admit that sometimes while narrating this story, I found the 'helplessness' of the heroin and her father's lack of judgement a bit tiresome!

So I hope you can put this aside and just enjoy the narration and the soft music to help you relax and drift off ;)

Tonight’s storytelling is called ‘The Story of an Invitation’ by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery followed by a bonus story to help you fall asleep :)
The first story is about two girls named Bertha and Grace who are room mates at a boarding school. They couldn't be more different. Bertha is lively and popular while Grace, on the other hand, is shy and serious. She keeps mostly to herself. Despite their differences in character, the girls become very close friends and are looking forward to their summer vacation. Bertha will be going to spend time with her Aunt Meg while Grace, who has no family, is planning to work at Mr. Clark’s book store over the summer holiday. Bertha feels sad for her best friend who has a dull summer planned and so she decides to invite Grace to spend the summer with her aunt in her place. Not only does Grace have the most wonderful time, but the most amazing thing happens that will change her life forever.
The second story is called "The Fairy of the Poppies' by William Elliott Griffis. This story is about a lovely little Fairy from Belgian Fairy Land. This selfless little fairy sacrifices her own life by becoming a beautiful poppy to help end the quarrels of the fairies and bring peace and harmony across the Land. The fairy hopes the beauty of this little red flower will make the people of Belgium proud of their land. It’s red color would serve as a reminder of the blood of the slain of many generations of men who have lost their lives in battle.
So lights out and sweet dreamzzz...

[CONTENT WARNING: The content in this story is NOT APPROPIATE for young listeners or anyone with a sensitive nature. The following story is a psychological mystery and may be disturbing to some listeners as it contains elements of violence, insanity, paranoia, and dismemberment of a human body.]
Welcome to tonight's Halloween Episode where I will read 'The Tell-Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1863. This short story is related by a narrator who tries to convince the listener that he is not insane while describing the details of a murder he committed.
I know this is not my typical storytelling choice but I wanted to challenge myself and try something new. I hope you enjoy it! After you listen...perhaps you can settle in for the night with a more relaxing tale to help you drift off!
Happy Halloween my friend! Joanne xo
