The nights can be long for me. I have struggled with sleeping for as long as I can remember. When you have had this struggle for such a long time as I have, you kinda some how manage to get used to knowing that not every night I am going to get any sleep. All though many times I can be very tired and it feels like I am going to sleep, but it still doesn`t happen no matter how hard I try or how tired I am.

I see a lot when I am on social media. I am not the most sociable of people on there. I rarely speak to anyone unless they speak to me first. I just lurk behind the curtains or sit on the fence as they say and read what you all are up to and what`s on your minds. Just like how Facebook asks so personal of us in that box before we write our statuses in it. What I see is some of you are online lighting green just as much as I am in the middle of the night. And I have also seen some post often that they can`t sleep either. I am not alone I see a lot of people are struggling with it.

I wanted to share some tricks I have picked up over the years which is listening to meditation music. I may not sit with my feet crossed, my hands folded out and hummm away in the proper way of doing meditation. But I put this music on, and lay on my couch, focusing on breathing and getting lost in the music and letting my thoughts run away from all that stress daily life can give us, and just fantasies away till something snaps me out of it. And when that happens, I notice that I actually let all my stress and anxiety go away with the music that carried me away to a very pleasant dream world that you would want to go back to. And the music I was listening to was the one thing that took me to that place. So I keep the music on and it helps me to bring me to my happy place.

Also some channels on YouTube have music specially designed for getting you to sleep only, and I use them a lot too. But with this CD that I wanted to show you now are more for the awake type of relaxing. Its a mind stealer to lure you away from what is taking over your thoughts, and help you find the inner peace, and on to good thoughts away from what is making you overthink.

I think this CD is the best buy I have done since me and Jay purchased our famous chakra DVD. Some of you might have seen him and I rave on about that a few times. Which his mum has passed on to me BTW so thank you for that my mum in law <3 I love you <3

But today I wanted to recommend this CD for the awake relaxing if your head is filled with the daily life stressy thoughts that wont get out of your head or stop bothering you. Putting this on is going to chase that away. Breath out, light some candles, maybe with a nice scent that can fill the room. I personally love the oil wax candles with raspberry smell, but all must choose their own favorite that suits their likings. Watch out when you blow out oil wax candles in little glasses, they get very warm and you don`t want burned fingers like I got the first time. Ouch!! But they give a whole different meaning to scent candles and fills the whole room with lovely aroma. Its real luxury candles made with love. Just don`t touch the glass and keep them out of reach from them little ones and pets.

I have several, but I think this CD is one of the most relaxing ones I have. I looked on YouTube to see if I could find a sample of it. I found one track which is a bit too little to justify how curing to my soul this record really is. But I understand the makers have to protect their brand too to earn some on it. So this is only a small taste of it. The original CD contains 7 tracks and lasts for 1 hour. But when you put this on repeat you won`t notice that it has started again because the songs are connected to each other. So you think you are still listening to new melodies when you in reality have just replayed it 3-4 times without noticing. Time flies when you are happily relaxed because time isn`t anything to worry about when you are happy. I am not sure how you can buy it because I got it of my local alternative shop in Norway. But if you Google “The Raven and The Moon Runestone CD” I am sure Amazon or E-bay has everything by now and you will find a copy there. Some things you actually got to do for yourself I`m not your servant 😛 I assume everyone are Google experts like I am and will find no problem finding this beautiful CD.

I think its important to give good feed back and some recommendations when someone makes something so good, and makes an impact on something so important as sleep and relaxing is to me in this case. The makers behind this CD has done a wonderful job and I can`t do anything else than highly recommend it to others.

Enjoy this little piece of it that I found on YouTube at least and try and find some inner peace and quiet. Stressing and letting things take over inside your head is never a good sign. It can lead to mental health problems and in some cases people get diagnosed with different diagnoses when their brains are over active. Specially when this only happens when people stop doing activities in the daytime such as house chores, school and work that keeps the brain occupied. When some of us lay down to relax that is when your brain start to think and resume the day. Some over do this and can`t shut down to go to sleep and many lay for hours thinking, twisting and turning in bed all night and not getting enough REM sleep that humans need. Some might need to ask a doctor about this because it can lay diagnoses behind it that you don`t know, and then you will of course get further guidance from your doctor of how to make it easier to live with this.. It is no shame in asking for help some times it is the only right thing to do for our own healths best interest.

So if you are one of those who over think things. It might be nothing.. But it can be ADHD, some sort of depression, post traumatic stress syndrome, personality disorders (there are many different under categories to the different ones. Both light and more severe ones. So don`t worry and panic, there is a HUGE difference between them.), or it can be traumatic incidences that has happened in your lives that makes it hard for you to function, relax or sleep.

But here is at least how I get through the stressful days. Also don`t forget to find music for sleeping on YouTube as I wouldn`t recommend this for that, its not a even rhythm but more to make your mind wander off and give a stress relief such as right after work, daytime or maybe you are studying to a big test at school. Then this might make it easier to work if you play it.

Now get comfy, deep breath, breath out, enjoy and relax
