Let the vivid imagery lull you into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of endless possibilities and beauty. Embrace your islomania and enjoy this serene island adventure.
What Listeners Are Saying:
“This put me to sleep within the first few minutes; it felt dreamlike and tranquil. There are lengthy, silent moments that lull your brain to sleep, but it is not boring, the mind stays engaged in a relaxing, drifting sort of way. I will be trying out more of these because it worked so well and is a nice change from the sleep meditations and music I usually use.“
Michael B. Audible
One of the best. I listen every night to a "sleepy time " podcast. While my favorites are good, I admit I am getting a little bored with the same type episodes. I found this one by sampling several more. I love it and it is now my first choice! Voice is soothing, pace is perfect, background sounds are terrific and stories are great. Not just someone reading old classics. These stories are, as far as I can tell, unique.
