Experience the healing power of dreams in this bedtime story inspired by Greek mythology and history.   In tonight’s story, you make a pilgrimage to the famous temple of Asclepius, Greek god of medicine. While there, you amble through the breathtaking landscape, soak in the healing baths, and participate in a ritual to honor the god and ask for his blessing. As the day ends, you find rest in the sanctuary, where you experience a healing dream encounter with one of the gods.   Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Listen to my voice for as long as it serves you, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a body scan for rest and healing.     -
