"Truly astounding secrets of relaxation and insomnia relief revealed...and without meditation, drugs or psychotherapy!" Discover inside information on an insomnia aid so "shockingly easy to use" and so effective that it is sure to turn the entire sleep industry on its head!Dear Insomnia Relief Seeker, I simply couldn’t believe it! That was exactly what I was thinking after putting down the headphones. I had listened to one of those CDs that supposedly used special tones to "train" my brain to go into a different level of consciousness. To tell you the truth it sounded like a bunch of rubbish to me (not the music, but the idea that you could listen to music that could make you go "poof" instant meditation master)! Well I was more relaxed I’ll have to admit. In fact I was nearly dozing off in the middle of it...this in the afternoon and I never take naps. OK, maybe I was just tired that day. Maybe it was the power of suggestion. So I tried it again. And again. And I seemed to get similar results each time, regardless of the time of day. I knew something was there. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tracy Lynn. I am a biologist by training, and so I generally seek scientific evidence before I really believe something works. But there was one thing I didn’t need scientific proof of - I lived a life of preoccupation with worry, and I generally dreaded going to sleep at night, knowing the odds were good for waking up in the middle of the night and staring at the ceiling for hours, wondering if this really was insomnia. I have always been a light sleeper, but I never considered myself to have insomnia. I’ve worn earplugs for years. I have spares tucked into every drawer, piece of luggage, and toiletry bag so I’ll never be without a pair. And when I wake up in the middle of the night...oh oh, can I go back to sleep? And then the thoughts start coming in...did I put enough postage on that overstuffed letter I mailed? Did I remember to attach the file to the important e-mail I sent this morning? Am I going to need to iron a pair of slacks for that meeting tomorrow? And what frustrates me endlessly is watching my wife sleep through anything! And on and on it goes...2:30...3:30...4:30...maybe dozing off by 5:30...but up by 6:15. And, you guessed it...exhausted all day. My only problem was that I didn’t know what to do about it. Not only did I NOT know what to do about my insomnia (and the growing purple circles around my eyes), I didn’t know what to do about my constant level of anxiety. Always worring about the "what-ifs" and never being able to concentrate or focus. Any of this sound familiar? So I did what most of us do...I went to the doctor. " Mr. Lynn, this will take care of your insomnia." And she handed me the prescription. Tranquilizers. She forgot to tell me when I stop taking them I am going to feel even more stressed-out than ever before and I won’t be able to sleep for days! She also forgot to mention how dull and confused my mind would be and how moody and nasty a temper I would get as a result. It became blazingly obvious that exterminating brain cells just to achieve what should come naturally was not the solution. So what did I do next? I took up meditation! Now don’t get me wrong. Meditation practice can be incredibly beneficial. But for me, I struggled with it for months. I got a cushion.
