Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description

Welcome to Books at Bedtime by Calming Anxiety. Tonight, get comfortable, unwind, and let your mind drift away as clinical hypnotherapist Martin Hewlett narrates Chapter 2 of H.G. Wells' timeless classic, The Time Machine. In this captivating second installment, the initial skepticism of the dinner guests is shattered when the Time Traveller stumbles into the dining room a week later—haggard, blood-stained, and completely exhausted. As his guests look on in absolute disbelief, he demands food before launching into his extraordinary, terrifying narrative: his first terrifying plunge through space-time into a distant future paradise, and the dark, hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface. Perfect for soothing an overactive mind, relieving late-night stress, and overcoming insomnia. Let the smooth, rhythmic cadence of this classic sci-fi narration ground you in the present moment, guiding your nervous system into a deep, peaceful state of relaxation.⏱️ Episode Chapters
