A Personal Note from KRS EDSTROM
I was lecturing several months after the Los Angeles
earthquake and a woman approached me afterwards.
She said You're with me every morning at about 4 a.m.
She laughed and explained that that was the time of the
earthquake and since then she had been waking up every
morning at that same time, unable to get back to sleep.
She cheerfully said that now she just puts on Sleep Through
Insomnia and drifts back off before it ends. I love those stories.

The Purpose of the Inner Mastery Series
Sleep Through Insomnia is 1 of 6 titles from KRS Edstrom's
Inner Master Series. Mindfulness meditation is a non-denominational,
non-sectarian practice and the core technique used throughout
this series. Mindfulness cultivates an awareness of present moment
with open-palmed acceptance; an appreciation of now and whatever
it may contain. Imagery and breath techniques are also used to
enhance your meditation experience.

The purpose of the Inner Master Series is that you not only
experience results after each listen, but that you also develop
increasingly deeper skills to serve you in all of life s challenges.

Commonly considered negatives such as pain, stress and insomnia
are transformed in a non-judgmental way that invites insight and
is both growth-promoting and freeing. Once perceived enemies turn
into welcome teachers. Similarly, everyday events such as watching
a bird soar, greeting a neighbor or putting on your socks are
experienced in a more mindful, complete way; a way that enriches
your relationship to self, spirit and thus, the rest of the world.

Daydreaming by the Sea: Guided Relaxation Techniques for Stress Relief and Restful Sleep

You can listen to a full track called "Guided Imagery: The Mediterranean Sea" on Amazon's Beth Freschi Store. Samples of all CD tracks are now available, as well as the Mp3 version!

Enjoy an inner journey to the Mediterranean Sea as Beth Freschi's calming voice guides you through a relaxation training session that will provide a refreshing break during the day or help you drift off to sleep at night.

Guided relaxation techniques are especially useful for people who are either new to relaxation or have a little trouble relaxing.

"Daydreaming by the Sea" features four pleasant, effective relaxation techniques to calm the mind and body:

Relaxation Breathing
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Guided Imagery: The Mediterranean Sea
Meditation: Love and Acceptance

Description of Relaxation Techniques

Relaxation Breathing: This exercise begins with simply observing the breath, without trying to change it. Next is deep breathing, and includes inhaling through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand, and exhaling through your mouth, releasing tension with your breath. The next portion focuses on exhalation and trying to squeeze out as much air as possible, then allowing your abdomen to gently expand with the inhalation. The relaxation breathing track ends by again observing the breath and noticing how your mind and body are relaxing.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Dr. Edmund Jacobson developed Progressive Muscle Relaxation in the 1920's, and today it continues to be a very effective method of relaxation. It involves tensing and relaxing different muscle groups, allowing you to enter a deep state of relaxation. Dr. Jacobson once said "an anxious mind cannot exist in a relaxed body", and you will understand what he meant by this as you notice your muscles gradually relaxing and your mind calming as you follow the progressive muscle relaxation exercise.

Guided Imagery: This particular guided imagery is called The Mediterranean Sea, and takes you on a pleasant, relaxing journey to the Italian Riviera. Beth Freschi will describe sights, sounds, smells, and other sensations that will invite you to imagine a visit to a beautiful beach. If you have never experienced guided imagery, The Mediterranean Sea will be a a wonderful introduction to this very special relaxation technique. One way to describe guided imagery is that it is like a daydream that leads you to only pleasant and relaxing places.

Meditation: Love and Acceptance is a version of the loving kindness meditation. This type of meditation encourages you to develop a sense of kindness and friendliness toward yourself and others. The phrases are so universal, it fits with any religion or belief system. As you listen and practice the meditation, feel your heart open and notice how negative thoughts give way to a more positive outlook.

Praise for "A Time for Relaxation, Vol. 1"

"I purchased your CD via iTunes yesterday....to help me relax during this volatile and crazy time in the world and in the economy. I listened to quite a few voices on the iTunes list of relaxation CD's, including PhD psychologists, etc.. Your voice instantly soothed me and thus my selection of yours.

My husband and I listened to it last night, he fell asleep, and I went into a profound state of relaxation and meditation. It was terrific. It continued for 10 minutes after your CD finished so that was really significant.

...so thank you for a great CD!"
