Publisher's Synopsis
Bedtime stories aren't just for kids anymore...
Do you find that you suffer from insomnia, no matter how hard you try to cope with it? Are you always exhausted even though you know that you shouldn't be? If you find that bedtime is impossible for you to cope with, then this book is for you!
As you read through this book, you will be introduced to the idea of using stories and mindfulness to help yourself drift off to sleep. There is a reason that bedtime stories are so recommended for getting children to sleep. After all-having time to enjoy a story allows your mind to relax and allows you to begin to focus more on the moment. As you listen to bedtime stories, or as you read them, you are able to feel at peace. You can allow your mind to focus on those details that you might not otherwise be able to. You will find that being able to enjoy a story will help your mind relax and grant you that ability to sleep.
In this book, you will first be introduced to the idea of mindful meditation so you can begin to understand just how powerful it can be. Then, you will be provided with several options for bedtime stories. Each story is designed to be a calming slice of life story about the various adventures (and sometimes misadventures) of Sophie Rogers, a young woman that lives in the Pacific Northwest with her German shepherd pal, Bella. Together, and sometimes separately, they get out and enjoy their lives, and the stories of her day to day life can help you to relax and soothe yourself into a state in which you will be able to relax. As you read, you should find yourself calming down and preparing for a night of sleep. Each of the options that are provided to you should be fun and engaging without keeping you up at night.
Finally, at the end of the book, you will be given two more traditional mindful meditations that are designed to trigger that state of mindfulness within yourself so you can then begin to relax and enjoy a restful night's sleep. When you learn to use these various techniques, you can work with yourself to ensure that you can calm yourself down when you need to, allowing yourself to get that relaxation that you need.
