Bedtime Stories

A Unique Guided Relaxation Program for Falling Asleep and Entering the World of Dreams

By: PhD Clarissa Pinkola Estés Ph.D.

Narrated by: PhD Clarissa Pinkola Estés Ph.D.

As a child growing up in a family of cantadoras (keepers of the old stories), Clarissa Pinkola Estés learned firsthand how a story told at bedtime can soothe away the troubles of the day and prepare the way for another night's dreams to follow. Now a beloved cantadora herself, Estés shares this treasured family tradition with you on Bedtime Stories, her own special collection of tales to relax and ease you to sleep.
Join this world-renowned Jungian analyst and bestselling author as she explores how to use stories as healing companions that open an aperture into the divine world of our dreams, as well as the meaning of archetypal figures like Mother Night and the Sandman, and themes such as renewal, enchantment and transformation. Includes original tellings by Dr. Estés of her bedside favorites, including "Sleeping Beauty," "The Mouse and the Lion," and more.

childhood happiness

my mom first ayed this recording for me when I was 4 (19 now) and it helps me sleep when I have really bad anxiety. I'm serious, I rarely make it halfway through, and if I make it farther it's only by a few lines.

Ever awesome

I adore Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. My only problem with this audiobook, is that the account of the C.S. Lewis's " Narnia", is incorrect. The entire " Spare Room" , in which the wardrobe resides, is corrupted.

Fantastic to help me relax

I listen to her audiobooks to help with anxiety and really she’s such a soothing story teller

Beautiful Speech

No one possesses a more comforting voice or manner of speaking than Claudia Pinkola Estes. These tales touch my heart.

So far, so good. I've listened 3 times and

I've fallen asleep each time, but at different parts. Her voice is gentle, the music is soft and beautiful and the stories a little different than what I heard as a child.
