Pumpkin Stew (My All-Time Favourite Sleep Story) and My Family's Anytime Chill Story

I know this story inside out, I have literally listened wholly too and fallen asleep too. It is so meditative, with the gentle mindfulness to inhale gently as you breathe in the cooking herbs or inhale the cold from the freezer etc . My two boys aged 16 & 10 love listening to this story especially when their stressed due to studying, exams, relationships (😭 😱🤯😵💝) and can't get out of their heads, it helps grind that all away and chills them out, but being typical teenage boys it makes them hungry and they then raid the kitchen 🤣😂😋🤤 so although it is to help with sleeping, it's my family's recommendation for anytime ❤️😍

The perfect middel way

I have a lot of troubel sleeping, but this was
Interesting enough to keep my thoughts occupied but boring and uneventfull enough to allow sleep.
Throughout the story, the main character brought attention to her breath as she remembered to slow it. It made me aware of my own breathing, and I think it was a very elegant way to combine meditation and storytelling.

Currently my favourite sleep story

Such a sweet heart warming story, that mobilise all senses. It helps me get out of the rumination that prevents me from sleeping and gets me almost every time.

Meh.

Story felt like forced relaxation... Like it was trying too hard. And the descriptions throughout were just too wordy and made me laugh so it definitely broke the relaxation attempt. Reader was great, though.

Snooze fest 😴

Heartwarming and mind numbing at the same time. Good for going to sleep with. Lovely narration.
