This breakthrough musical recording has been proven at the National Institutes of Health to help you relax deeply and quite your mind. Opening with the gentle sounds of the ocean, these peaceful melodies slowly unfold, like the soothing rise and fall of waves. After just a few minutes, your breath begins to slow down and deepen as you experience a ?relaxation response? and drift off into deep, restful sleep.
Turn this CD on right before going to bed. Listen at a comfortable volume, loud enough to hear but not so loud that it distracts you. As you begin to settle into sleep, pay attention to your breath. Take two or three deep inhalations and slow exhalations. With each round of breath, imagine releasing the stress and tension of your day and letting go of any concerns of tomorrow. Begin to focus on the music and allow your attention to rest on its flowing, soothing melodies. Shift your experience from listening to the music to ?feeling? the music. Visualize its peaceful vibrations permeate and move through your body.
