Bedtime Stories Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D. As a child growing up in a family of cantadoras (keepers of the old stories), Clarissa Pinkola Estés learned first-hand 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 into 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 • The meaning of archetypal figures like Mother Night and the Sandman, and themes such as renewal, enchantment, and transformation • Original tellings by Dr. Estés of her bedside favorites, including Sleeping Beauty, the Mouse and the Lion, and more "Adulthood is only a disguise we wear during the daytime," Estés teaches. So tonight pull the covers up tight and listen as a magic world enfolds and restores you, with Bedtime Stories.
