I actually listen to a relaxation tape every night. Not this one, though. It's one from the early 1980s. I pretty much have it memorized and usually I just have to listen to the first 2 minutes and I'm out. "Begin today by settling back comfortably, get as comfortable as you can, and shut off the tension, all over your body." and so on. After listening to this, I may never sleep again.Your tension has been exterminated. EXTERMINATED!!
HA. Sorry. I don't listen to a "relaxation tape," but per cW's suggestion I have been listening to this guided meditation 3-4 times a week. I love it. I highly recommend trying it out
Is the one you use available on Youtube? Promising beginning. I've become dependent on this, 5 mg of melatonin and 3 benadryl:
Speaking of YouTube relaxation and sleep inducers, I'll often put on an Alan Watts lecture. This has to be one of the most recorded guys of his time. Must be 1000's of them. Well worth listening to while alert I'm sure, but I find I drift off pretty quickly if reclining.
thenewgreen, this is a work of art. It's very special. It's touched me very deeply. It took me to a place. How the hell are you, anyway?! I can't believe how long it's been since I was on here. I keep kicking myself for not hanging out more.
I'm good, thank you. Very busy. I've been working in a startup for a year and it's finally a legitimate business and no longer just an "idea." Pretty neat. I'm glad you enjoyed the relaxation tape. How are you? You writing?
Of course I've been writing, that's why I haven't been talking to anyone for ages! I'm hoping to have some good news on that front very soon, but for now, dot dot dot. What's this startup of which you speak? Do I need one of whatever you're making? Are they hats for chihuahuas? Rainbows for orphans?
But yes you will need them.What's this startup of which you speak?
I'll pm you.
