wood and Earth One completely letting go now as I tell you to tonight's sleep story long long ago in ancient Ireland there lived a tribe now this tribe was no ordinary tribe they were not violent they did not fight with others or with each other in fact a word for argument did not even exist in their language they were the kindest most gentle group of people that you could ever meet they were nomadic and they would move to different parts of the country depending on this season and also depending on where they were needed often

in summer you might find them living on the beaches next to the wild Atlantic Ocean and in the winter you might find them living in the forests and More in land they would listen to the Earth and let the energy of the earth guide them they had been a tribe of healers for for many many generations so long in fact that the stories of their ancestors had become myths and they would let one new few person a year enter their tribe and marry one of their people they would also welcome people in need of healing

to come and stay with them they would treat this person like royalty they would pumper them read stories to them give them plant medicine massage them walk in nature with them and most of all listen to them they would listen with depth now one more thing they knew quite a lot about was traveling through time they would welcome visitors from other times whenever a door opened and tonight my friend you are going to travel to meet these healing people the whole tribe is waiting for you and as you move closer and closer toward sleep you

move closer and closer to this tribe they hold the knowledge of time travel a secret passed down through generation imagine Now The Mists of time parting and a path unfolding before you leading you to the tribe that awaits your arrival with open arms and healing hearts you are now in ancient Ireland thousands of years from your time far away from all of your troubles and all that you know the world that you and I normally inhabit is far from existing cars phones and televisions are nothing and these people now welcome you into a purely natural
