Publisher's Synopsis
Daily life as a person these days can be incredibly hard. When we get under our covers and know it's ready to fall asleep, the weight of our day seems to fall upon us all at once.
At times like this, you feel as though it won't be possible to get as many hours of sleep as you need. You give up, accepting the fact that you will be perpetually tired. But you don't need to act a life of perpetual fatigue anymore, because this book gives you a proven solution to your lack of sleep. By reading these five stories written specifically for adults who can't get to bed, you will let go of your daily strife and move into the world of deep sleep and dreams.
There is a giant market for helping people fall asleep. Sleeping pills still dominate as the solution for insomnia and anxiety-induced sleep deprivation. Pills only work as a temporary solution, however. Just like all medicine, people who rely on sleeping pills to get to bed end up needing increasingly larger doses of these pills to achieve the same effect.
Only meditation and mindfulness offer a long-term solution to the problem of sleep deprivation: after you develop new mindful habits with the help of soothing, vivid storytelling, you won't believe you almost fell into the trap of taking sleeping pills.
Not only were these stories written by someone with a love for tranquil backdrops and deep characters, but they were written by someone who knows the power of mindfulness from experience. By merging storytelling with mindfulness, we can become entranced by another's point of view and come into direct contact with our unconscious.
Some might be initially skeptical of the ability of stories to ease our minds. They think of the action-packed, chaotic genre fiction that lines the shelves of bookstores. You can be sure that these stories are nothing like those. These stories prioritize sensory experience and spiritual growth over noisy imagery and plot twists.
- Bedtime Stories for Adults has so much to offer that once you start reading, you'll wish you hadn't waited. Inside, you'll find:
- Five wholly imagined worlds as seen through the eyes of a main character
- Poems that will resonate with your soul, even if you don't normally think of yourself as a poetry reader
- Detailed instructions for the quintessential full-body yoga pose so you can relax your entire body before it is transported into another universe
- An in-depth guide for finding equilibrium between your mind, body, and spirit
As you can see, while the stories may be the main attraction, you will find much more here than stories. I provide you with many tools for combating a lack of sleep, all of them stemming from the principles of mindfulness. At this point, you have no reason to skip this book, and the reasons for reading it are substantial. Research has repeatedly shown that a prolonged sleep deficit has drastic consequences on the brain, so your decision to click "Buy Now" could not come too soon. I guarantee it pays for itself several times over.
