Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

By: iHeartPodcasts
  • Summary

  • Having trouble sleeping? Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time.

    You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens

  • Autumn Sun
    Nov 4 2024

    Our story tonight is called Autumn Sun, and it’s a story about a day at Weathervane Farm, treating the animals to autumnal enrichment. It’s also about light shifting through orange and red leaves, the pillowy soil of a well tilled garden, the last pumpkins picked from their vines and the simple joy of watching kids play.

    We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Four Paws
    International. Their vision is a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy, and understanding. fourpawsusa.org

  • The Secret Stair
    Oct 28 2024

    Our story tonight is called The Secret Stair, and it’s a story about a costume party on Halloween night at the Inn. It’s also about the bonfire down by the lake, a whiskered face at the window, a mystery waiting in the library and a reminder of what is sacred and worth your attention and what is not.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Greater Good on the ground in Florida and North Carolina, delivering emergency relief in the devastating aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Learn more in our show notes.

Kathryn’s method works!!

A beautifully delivered set of stories that really do send me to sleep in the right frame of mind, and also usually leaves me with a snippet of wisdom to think on, the following day. I feel like you’re really someone I know personally. Thank you.

Perfect sleep companion

I love these podcasts. Pitched just right to keep your mind from wandering far but also letting you drift off

Just the ticket to get to sleep

I’ve been looking for a while for a story that’s calm and quiet, and nothing much happens to help me drift off - this is brilliant! Interesting enough to focus on, nothing exciting enough to stay awake for.
