Green Willow | A Japanese Tale for Sleep

Tonight’s story is Green Willow, a beautiful Japanese folktale that was first shared with my Premium listeners back in April 2024, and tonight I’m happy to be sharing it with you here on the regular Drift Off podcast.
This gentle old tale weaves together love, nature, and a touch of the mysterious, carrying us into a world of quiet beauty and Japanese folklore. Its dreamlike quality and timeless storytelling make it a lovely story to settle in with at bedtime, helping you leave the day behind, quiet a busy mind, and ease toward a peaceful night’s sleep.
So get comfortable, close your eyes when you’re ready, and allow yourself to be carried away by the story as you drift off to sleep.
Sweet dreams.
