Japanese Folktales for Sleep: The Tea Ke...

JOANNE D'AMICO
About this episode

Hello my sleepy friend! I am thrilled to have you join me as we journey together tonight with 2 mystical Japanese folktales called The Tea Kettle and The Good Thunder. Each tale holds a unique charm and have been passed down from generation to generation...reminding us that life, in all its unpredictability, is a beautiful journey of growth and understanding. As usual we begin with a short settling in relaxation followed by the storytelling. I hope you enjoy these tales that I’ve chosen...may they bring you restful sleep. Sweet dreams!

Your friend,
Joanne
