Moonlight Library (ASMR)

If there is a heaven for book lovers, perhaps it looks something like the moonlight library. A venerable, old library with a world class collection and surprisingly lenient borrowing terms and unique opening hours. You see, the moonlight library, as the name perhaps suggests, it's only open at night from dusk until dawn. Anyone is welcome to browse the shelves, to borrow books or just to absorb the atmosphere. There are plenty of good books here and nearly as many perfect places to curl up with one. Taking a tour like this is perfectly permissible, it's encouraged, in fact. All that is asked of us is that we keep our voices down out of respect for the other readers who are here to enjoy this lovely space. Before we begin, I think it's nice to start with a little wind down. Tonight's exercise is a really simple breathing exercise. So when you're ready, let's begin.

Holding for four, two, three, four. Out for six, two, three, four, five, six. Great. Now returning the breath to normal. As your eyes adjust to the soft evening light, all you can see is books. They fill every corner of the old building. Great shelves of rich wood rise, tall above you. Labeled with gold initials, polished shelves hold the books in neat order. Thick red carpets cushion the floor, complimenting the glossy brown of all the mahogany shelves. It's so cozy in here. Bronze spiral staircases lead from the ground of the grand chamber, up to higher levels, balconies, for more books. A beautiful window looks onto the whole chamber. The pains of stained glass form a giant blue book opened onto the library. As moonlight shine through the window, appears that the white pages glow. Long ago when the Moonlight Library was new, people read by the light of candles. In the oldest books you might even the catch the faintest whiff of candle wax. With electricity it's much easier for us to read through the night and there's far less risk of accidents. Gold chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the Moonlight Library. If you look closely at the intricate, swirling patterns you can see vines and roses clustered around the...
